MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP)
—High government sources said
Friday Uruguay is verging on
complete diplomatic breaks with
Cuba arid the Soviet Union.
The sources described Thursday
—anight’s order to expel the Cuban
ambassador and Soviet Embassy's
first secretary as a preliminary
step.
They said that if Communist and
pro-Cuban agitation continues the
government may be forced to take
sterner actions than declaring Am-
bassador Mario Garcia Inchauste-
gui and Secretary Mihail K. Sami,
lov persona non grata — unwel-
come. One informant said, "It is
unlikely that the activities of left-
ist elements will subside.”
The Soviet legation here, with
a staff of more than 80, has been
repeatedly denounced as a center
of Red espionage and subversive
activities for all of Latin .America
The ouster action was approved
after four of the National Govern-
ment Council's nine members re-
portedly tried and failed to get
an immediate break with Havana
and Moscow President Benito
Nardone was reported among
those favoring the rupture
The council majority is said to
oppose any unilateral break and
prefer some sort of joint inter-
American action.
