In this connection, we noted the 19 September issue of L'UNITA, which reflected an article on KING's private audience with Pope Paul held the proceding day. According to L'UNITA, immediately after the audience, in St. Poter's Square, KING stated that "Popo. Paul was most clear on the fact that both he, personally, and the Catholic Church support the cause of civil rights". The article also states that in a press conference held at Fiumicino Airport after the audience KING said, "The Pope will shortly make a public statement on racial segregation".

# SECRETSECRET Page 22. A. On 26 August 1957, a source within SIN, considered usually reliable, when queried concerning the reports from official sources of Ortodoxo-Communist collaboration and specifically concerning the past with the Communists involving Subject and others mentioned in paragraph 2A above, said that these reports were false (inexacte) and had been fabricated to denigrate the most active and realistic opponents of the BATISTA regime. Subject denied that the Ortodoxos ever cooperated with the Communists. He claimed that he had never met Carlos Rafael RODRIGUEZ sr. for that matter, any of the top Communist leaders except Lazaro Pena, who was once pointed out to him in Marianao 0107.3. A. An un-evaluated report dated 16 July 1951 from a source whose reliability was described as fair stated that Max LESNICK is a Communist sympathizer and a very good friend of Lionel SOTO, editor of Vanguardia Cubana and Communist leader in the University of Habana. The report concerned LESNICK's candidacy for the office of Secretary General of Arventino Ordoñez.B. Subject, when asked if he knew Lionel SOTO, said that he knew him but that he did not share his views. It is noted that the same report mentioned that it was very doubtful if the Juventud Ortodoxa was going to send a delegation to the Youth Congress (Communist) in Berlin, a statement hard to reconcile with the presence of a Communist sympathizer as a candidate for Secretary General of that organization.4. A. An article in Hoy of 17 September 1952 reported a protest against a SIM raid on the Casa de la Cultura. Included in the list of persons signing the protest were names of many prominent Communists as well as that of Subject.B. Subject admitted signing this protest and stated for the record that he signed in good faith as an anti-franquist and not as a Communist sympathizer.5. A. An article in Prensa Libre of 12 March 1954 reported declarations of the Cuban Committee for Guatemala against the aggression against that country. Subject's name was listed among the signers of the declaration as a member of the Committee.B. Subject stated that he signed the declaration in the sincere belief that Guatemala was a democratic country and that democratic forces had to defend that country against forces which would maintain it in economic subjection and political backwardness. He said that many non-Communists of like belief also signed the declaration. He added that when ARBENZ went behind the Iron Curtain it became clear that Guatemala really had been in danger of becoming a Communist beachhead.SECRET
