# CONTINUATION OF DISPATCH## SECRETΗΜΜΑ - 35502articles did little to prejudice the Guatemalans in favor of LIRING-3. As a matter of fact, the latter who succeeded in sending LIRING-4 a few letters via the Mexican Consul in Guatemala City who comes to visit him in jail, recently claimed that he was saved fra å prison "transfer" by the Guatemalan army by the arrival of the Mexican Consul. LIRING-3 viewed this "transfer" purely and simply as an execution attemt.4. LIRING-4 received even less help frem LIRING who told her that! there was nothing it could do to help LIBING-3. LIING-4, on the advice contained in one of the notes sent from prison by LIRING-3, kept away from LIRING and its employees until she ret LIRING-10 by accident at the office of one of the leftist papers on 27 July. LILING-10 convinced her to resume her visits to LIRING. That the local PERUMENS still have doubts about LIRING-3 despite his imprisonment in Guateusia is indicated by the statements ade by Rodolfo EEYES (see ON 17 July report) to the effect that the latter would not be willing to heip LIRING-3 until he found out on what side of "el griego" (KOWTON under false identity) he was. REYES added that LIRING suspects the "griego" of WCPIPM connections, although it has no definite proof of this.5. Statements such as those made by REYES confirm the Station's belief that LIRING, upon orders from home, is still attempting to investigate ROWTON. Such statements also re-enforce the decision of the Station not to attempt, through liaison, to obtain the relossa OF TOTIaltempt, if it leaked, would not only expose LIRING-3 to PBRUMEN and Guatemalan FAR reprisals. it sould probably also have adverse repercussions בס ROWTON'S security. LIRING-11 whom ROTOli met briefly ca 5 July (see EOWTON's.report dated 9 July) said nothing about LIPING-3's arrest when ROWTON complained that mail which he said he sent to IRLING-3 remained unanswered. It is also to be noted that PEYES, who of course knows that LIAING-4 is in Mexico, told 1070s that she was probably in PBRUMEN. This shows clearly the distrust with which LIRING views ROLTON.![illegible signature]![illegible text]6. LIRING-4 developed close relationship with Orlando A of the Kinistry of Culture now in Mexico at the invitation of the Mexican Comunist mural painter David ALFARO Siadeiros. By mid-September, in fact, STAREZ was staying at LIRING-4's apartment although LIRING claimed to RO-TCN that there was no romancing between the two and that SUAREZ used her apartment because he was too broke to get one of his own. In view of LIRIY-4's assessment of SUAREZ as very leftist and pro-AMTHUG-1 no effort was made to approach hin.7. Contacts between ROSTOM and IIRING-4 have taken place with decreasing frequency because the usefulness of LIRING-4 to WOFIRM has sharply decreased and because LIRING-4 is core and more convinced that ROWTON cannot or will not help her obtain the release of LIRING-3. In her frantic efforts to do something for LIPING-3, LIRING-4 has in fact not had any contact with POWTON since early September. Caless LIRING-3 is released by the Guatemalan:authorities or receives only a light sentence keeping him in jail only a short time longer, it is doubtful that LIRING-4 will be of much use to PONTON and the Station.![Signature of David D.
