# CONTINUATION OF DISPATCH## CONFIDENTIALto emigrate. He is married, has no children. Age 33, 5' 5", 150 pounds, light brown hair. Once allowed to leave, he could be debriefed, but his open request to emigrate would make any use as access agent impossible in spite of his motivation.**J.** *Esteves, Carlos.* Psychiatrist of the Civil Hospital of Clara Estrella. Secretly but flexible & amenable. Married, two or three children. Age 30, 5' 7", 150 pounds, blond hair. AMCOIL-1 has had no contact with him since 1952.**4.** Cuban Physicians Whose Defection is Dubious but Not Impossible**A.** *Collado (fnu).* Official psychiatrist of the Cuban Air Force and formerly of the National Hospital psychiatric staff. He is constantly posing fun at the American Government & sparkling wit at parties that he regularly gives for friends in the Arts, whom he seems to cultivate. He is a close friend of Cristina Cchilli and Marta Frayde, to whom he has admitted feigning approval of the Cuban Government. He is cultured & loves the good life. He was first married to Eva FREJA VALLS, a French national formerly a professor at the Alliance Francaise in Havana, who is now living in France, since their amicable divorce in 1961. He has one child.Collado moves in high government circles. Age 42, 5' 7", 150 pounds, black hair. He might defect, if shown a good offer, in spite of traditionally seeking not to complicate his life. He can be reached through his former wife, with whom he maintains correspondence. AMCOIL-1 is trying to obtain her secret address.**K.** *Torroella, Gustavo.* Professor of Psychology, University of Havana Medical School, and head of vocational guidance for the University of Havana. His brother-in-law is Tony Sims, Cuban Foreign Minister. Torroella is most compatible <WITH> with alternating postings in Paris and Havana. In 1960 he told AMTOIL-1 that he intended to publish books outside of Cuba in order to have income and pretexts to justify travel and residence abroad. In AMTOIL-1's opinion, Torroella studied and failed to justify Marxism, and obtained his current UNESCO posting so as to be out of Cuba.His wife Marta Kouri de Torroella and two daughters are presently in Havana. Age 39, 5' 8", 170 pounds, light brown hair. It is very doubtful that Torroella will openly break with the regime, even though he establishes a semi- or permanent residence abroad, but it might be worth approaching him when he has his family abroad because of his knowledge of, and access to, key Cuban Government officials.**C.** *Palacios, Claudio.* National Coordinator of Psychiatric Care, Ministry of Public Health, and full Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Havana Medical School/Mazzorra Hospital. He is extremely clever, intelligent, materialistic, and ambitious. He maneuvered himself into an important post and a wealthy private practice. He is a candidate for the Cuban Communist Party, which probably will be denied him because of a previous internship in a New York hospital, according to the opinion of Jorge Abdo Canasi, a former partner in medical practice. Palacios was a delegate to an international congress of psychiatry in Madrid in 1966. He has two daughters by a first marriage; no children by the second. Age 35-40, 5' 5", 170 pounds, brown hair. Defection is doubtful, but it is felt that Palacios would give serious consideration to the offer of any post that would enhance his professional career.**D.** *Cordota, Armando de.* National Coordinator of Psychiatric Teaching, Ministry of Public Health, full professor, head of the Psychiatric Department of the University of Havana Medical School/Fajardo Hospital. An aristocrat whose effortless adaptation to the regime surprised his cohorts, Cordoba is intelligent, ambitious for power and prestige. He is married, no children. His brother
