WASHINGTON (AP)--The State Department said yesterday it has no informa- tion on a reported Soviet proposal under which the Kremlin would reduce its military presence in Cuba in exchange for U.S. abandonment of the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay. In response to the report, State Department Press Charles Bray State Department said: "We have had no expression of interest in such a plan through any official channel--none whatsoever."

"I should note that there is no change in this government's view on Guan- tanamo Bay's importance as a defense facility for the U.S. in the Carib- Says No Change bean. " The report was written by an American journalist who said his information came from a discussion with Russian diplomats at the Soviet Embassy in Havana. In Gitmo Status Bray said the allegation that the United States would be willing to give up the Guantanamo Base is an "overstatement since we are talking about a situation that is entirely hypothetical. The entire range of relations with Cuba must be re-examined if a completely new relationship were to develop. Guantanamo is just one aspect of this relationship."

Tuesday, September 12, 1972 Guantanamo Gazette SPORTS--Page 7 *Olympics Games End in Jubilant Spirit Sports MUNICH (AP)--The flame died last night and the Olympic Games--opened amid political wrangling and bloodied by murder, closed in darkness. But the somber atmosphere could not restrain the exuberance of the young competitors. They marched into the stadium in mingled ranks and mixtures of colorful uniforms. They strode arm in arm, sometimes hoisting a pretty girl or a strapping athlete to their shoulders, grinning and waving. Some of the athletes formed conga lines; others held hands and skipped in circles.

Meanwhile, Lord Killanin, a 58-year-old Irish peer who was born and edu- cated in and lives in Dublin, takes over today as president of the International Olympic Committee--a self-elected, self-perpetuating body which rules the Olympic Games. It includes more titled men than any other committee in the world. There's a king, a sultan, a rajah, four princes and a grand duke. There's a sheikh, a baron, a marquis, two lords, a count, and a Dutch jonkheer. And there are four generals and a vice-admiral.

The IOC has been much like this since the modern Olympics were started in 1896.
