Irsrael- Syria: - Itesterday's clash, in which the Israe-
lis claim two Syrian MiGs were shot down, was the
second serious incident in a little over a month. On 14
July, Israeli aircraft attacked Syria's Jordan waters

Israeli patrol boat ran aground close to the eastern shore-
line of the Sea of Galilee and exchanged fire with Syrian

Cuba - Latin America: The Communist-dominated
Latin American Student Congress, which met in Havana
29 July to 11 August, has laid the groundwork for estab-
lishing a permanent regional student organization. The
final communique of the congress specifically endorsed
"armed struggle" as the best vehicle for revolution in
Latin America and urged students to take up arms against
"Yankee imperialism. " The location of the headquarters
of this organization in Havana will give Cuba excellent
"cover" for providing errilla warfare training to Latin
American extremists,
