# SECRETFIELD INFORMATION REPORTCOUNTRY: CubaSUBJECT: Views of Rafael GARCIA Bárcena on Cuban Political SituationREPORT NO. HXH-1477-DATE OF INFO: 6 May 1957PLACE ACQUIRED: HabanaDATE ACQUIRED: 6 May 1957DATE OF REPORT: 6 May 1957SOURCE, SOURCE EVALUATION, APPRAISAL OF CONTENT:Sources Qualified American Observer (A) from an Opposition Political Leader (F).Appraisal of Contents: 31. Rafael GARCIA Bárcena said that recently he had been in conference with Robert GRANONTE, leader of one of the three factions of the Partido-del Pueblo Cubano (Ortodoxo) and that he had been asked to try to bring together the three factions of the Ortodoxo Party: the groups of AGRAMONTE, OCHOA, and Carlos MARQUEZ Sterling.2. GARCIA Bárcena would like to maneuver himself into the position of being the Ortodoxo candidate for President of Cuba in the 1958 elections. He said that it is too soon to attempt a reconciliation in the Party and that his own tactic is to maintain contact with all the opposition political leaders in the hope that at a propitious time he will be the one person about whom no faction would have any strong objections. Subject said there was no first-class political party in Cuba but that the Ortodoxos were the least objectionable and the name of the party had not been tarnished as was true of the Autenticos, nor was it a party of petty politicians seeking power. Of the three factions in the Ortodoxos, OCHOA controls the party political machinery, AGRAMONTE controls the excitable and revolutionary group in which youth and students are prominent, and MARQUEZ Sterling leads only a small segment of the party. He said that the "Ortodoxo Youth" will not present a difficult problem within the party once they can be convinced that the way to power is not through violence but through participation in the 1958 elections. The Youth are strong enough to veto a presidential candidate but probably will not take a leading part in selecting one. He did not feel that MASNICK or Francisco Carons had a great deal of influence among the Youth at present and said that Mario IVA TULLA was the most respected of the Youth leaders. This group eschews violent revolutionary action.3. GARCIA Bárcena pictures himself as the person who can influence the Ortodoxo Youth to abandon revolutionary methods, and toward this end he is writing a series of articles for such widely-read magazines as Potencialin which he points out to the Youth that times have changed since he (GARCIA Bárcena) led the Youth in the assault on Camp Columbia. He said that his complete reversal of policy is going to confuse Cuban youth, but he feels it is the only way to bring unity to the party and prepare for the elections of 1958. He fears that May will be a month of increased violence in Habana but, once the revolutionaries realize that they have

The source of a previous report on plans for a revolutionry coup on 26 February 1956 has furnished the following additional information:"The conspiracy is continuing to develop feverishly, and there is a danger that the revolution may break out any time before 26 February.""Among the revolutionary leaders are Juan FURTAS Yero and Roberto YLEON Lemus. Also involved is Eufemio FERRERA Cri. who has returned to Cuba. Almost all the revolutionary leaders who were in exile are now in Cuba. It is possible that (or) Aurelio SANCHEZ Arango may also be back here.""The meetings held at the farm of Fidel CASTRO's cousin near Olira de Molana have been attended by officers and enlisted men of the Army and the National Police. Last week important meetings were held on Thursday and Saturday, attended by Fidel CASTRO, his brother, and his sister.""The preparation for the revolution has started with the placing of bombs and petards.. The person who placed the petard in the National Capitol last Friday was Juan RODRIGUES.""The revolutionary plotters include in their violent plans the elimination of different persons connected with the BATISTA regime. One of the first to be eliminated is (General) Rafael SALAS Canisaros, Chief of the National Police, who it is expected will be eliminated by police officers connected with the conspiracy. Another possible victim in Eusebio MIJAL.""Since 1. February a group of revolutionaries from Habana have been in Camaguey, including one man from Calabazar, Habana Province, who is to eliminate three persons from Camaguey.

POOR QUALITY REPRODUCTION"UNAVOIDABLE"# CONFIDENTIALReport No: E-1216, Res 3Date 24 February 1956Field Comments1.  "The confidential letter to the Cuban DI is considered to be an obvious attempt to put the major blame on Communist elements for recent anti-Government demonstrations as evidenced by the reference to paintings on the walls of houses such as 'Abajo Batista' and '26 de Julio' as Marxist mottoes. Recent reports also indicate that the ID is opposed to the acceptance of Communist support in its demonstrations and refused permission to Camilo Cienfuegos and other 23 members to participate in the 10 January event honoring Mella. The contents of the confidential letter are therefore evaluated as 'confidential.'"2.
