After the break between PRIO and GRAU, GRAU endeavoured to form the "Partido de la Cubantdad" to enter the 1952 elections. However, with BATISTA's coup d'état on 10 March 1952 and PRIO's exile in the U.S., GRAU remained in Cuba speaking in the name of the Autenticos. When BATISTA announced elections for November 1954, GRAU reorganised and registered the Partido Autentico, of which he was actually no longer a member, and declared that he would oppose BATISTA as presidential candidate in the national election. GRAU's move left PRIO's group represented in Cuba by the official party cadres under the direction of Autol Catel, without legality.PRIO, VARONA and other PRIO leaders therefore declared themselves against and his supporters and refused to support them during the elections and have since refused to recognise any of the Autenticos elected to public office in the November 1954 election.PRIO's principal supporters are the following:Oscar AVARROKester BARROSegundio LO1.

# CONFIDENTIALpage 3"a. Probably the most politically active and strongest segment of the Ortodoxo party is the youth branch, the Juventud Ortodoxo (JO). It has representation in just about every town in the Republic and 's particularly active at the University of Habana. Dr, Francisco, University professor and member of the Directiva Council of the Ortodoxo Party, 's adviser of the JO. CARVE is well known for his leftist leanings. Actually, when the Partido Ortodoxo was in the original stages of organisation, Communists at Habana University prepared and assisted in organising the JO. The JO frequently attacks the U.S. with slogans that dictatorships exist in Latin America because their anti-communism pleases the U.S. On 27 September, for example, Dr. Pelayo, a well-known Ortodoxo prominent in JO activities, stated on a television question-and-answer program that the dictatorship of BATISTA subsists because the Department of State 's flattered BATISTA's anti-communism, which is not anti-communist but anti-democratic. The following are some of the more prominent pro-Communists who influence the Juventud Ortodoxo:Omar Borges, director of the Juventud Ortodoxo, wa, Secretary of the Congreso Derechos de la Juventud, organized by the Comin'sts, and has signed numerous Parxist manifests,Máx Dunic, who was an active Comain'st propagandist in the University, has signed all Marxist manifestoes issued at the University and has been seen on different occasions with Alfredo VAPA and Raul VALDES Vivo, (well-known Commintate), close friends of his.Salvador, Juventud director, has a Communist background and is a member of the same University group.Mario Rivadalla, pro-Corantat, has signed manifestoes in favor of Guatemala and against the 1953 anti-Count ut legislation. He is a member of the same University group."d. The Movimiento de Liberación Radical is a move to form public opinion and not a political party, built around the worldwide movement of "Catholic Socia Doctrine" with branches in Cuba in the Juventude Lacion Católica, Juventud Estudantil Católico, Juventud Obrera Católica, and Juventud Universitaria Católica. These organisations are forbidden by the Church to take part in such in national politics. However, Amalio ALIO and Andrés Suálvespiid and other members of the organisations have gotten together with other intellectuals and formed the Movimiento de Liberación Radical to oppose the present regime. This movement, which is purely ideological, has no Communist influence up to the present time.The Movimiento de la Nación, which is also not a political party but rather a movement to arouse public interest, had gained little strength to date. Its chief spokesman, José Llada, manages to keep it alive with propaganda, but there is little likelihood that it by itself will reach a position of any importance on the local political scene.As independent movements, neither the Movimiento de Liberación Radical nor the Movimiento de la Nación has little or any change of becoming strongCONFIDENTIAL

A one page mimeographed sheet entitled "A Que Viene Mr. Nixon" was written and edited in the offices of the Federacion Estudiantil-Universitaria at the University of Habana. At least several hundred copies were run off on the mimeograph machine owned by the Faculty of Comercial Sciences and were distributed throughout the university grounds by Arando MIRANDA.   There was no street distribution in the near vicinity of the University. This sheet was about the only real result of the full planning which took place during the week preceding the Nixon visit. These abortive plans included a street demonstration against the visit.2. The mimeographed sheet asks the question, "Why did you come Mr. Nixon...? To build the usurpation of power by Batista?...To expend the official action of giving away our natural resources to United States monopolists?...To approve the treason of Batista against Guatemala and proclaim him one of the Caribbean dictators?..." It refers to the above, the undersigned states protest this visit which interferes in our internal affairs and which insults our dignity even more than the defiling of the statues of our heroes by the Yankee sellers and of Cuban women.Alvaro Torba Machado Valentin Flerido BravoJose Nidalgo Peraza Eduardo Esquivel Pedro SantesR.

# Subject: Communist Influence in the FEU, University of HabanaReport No: HXH-981Date of Information: 10-20 January 1955Place Acquired: Habana, CubaDate Acquired: 28 January 1955Evaluation: 8-3Date of Report: 2 February 1955Source: Controlled American1. Communist activities in the University, particularly in connection with Federacion Estudiantil Universitaria (FEU, Federation of University Students) affairs, have increased during the last few weeks. Almost daily informal meetings are being held by Raul VALDES Vivo, Carlos SANCHEZ, Leonar SANCHEZ, AYMATICHENA, and Late BONNE Ramirez. Usually these conversations concern election campaigns in the various student organizations, and facilities for the preparation and distribution of propaganda.2. Indicative of FEU attitude toward the communists, students Roberto PUENTE and Federico SAINZ de la Maza commented, "the present and former regimes of the FEU have been obliged to work with the red elements since those elements were better disciplined for combat against the government".3. On 10 January 1955 a crowd of a hundred or so students took part in a ceremony on the campus in honor of the Twenty Sixth Anniversary of the death of Communist youth leader Julio Antonio Mella. Prominent in the ceremony were: Jesus DUARTE, Andres LNU, Lecnel ALONSO, Alberto POLAND, Raul VALDES Vivo, Rene ANILLO, Jose A XECHAVARRIA, and Max Laspick.4. At the ceremony there was distributed a 19 page pamphlet entitled, "Trinchera de Ideas", purportedly written by Julio Antonio Mella. Although mildly against the Batista government, the bulk of the articles in the pamphlet are anti-United States, and anti-capitalist, and in short typical communist propaganda.5. Source Comment. Paragraph 2 is more true than the FEU leaders themselves would like to believe. The FEU, unflavored with the "red sauce" has long been notorious for empty, loud-mouthed sessions and propaganda. The reds simply inject a little more organization and intellectual reality and thus create more student appeal. All Latin students have a streak (large or small) of anti-U.S. sentiment, but not all will follow any empty-headed jerk who gets up to scream about "imperialists". A large percentage will respond to a subtle intellectual "realism", particularly where if pinned down for their participation they can easily squirm but with the "intellectual autonomy" explanation.6. Mission Comment: El Mundo Editorial on 11 January 1955 contains a photograph of the ceremony mentioned in paragraph 3.Classification: SECRET
