# CONTINUATION OF DISPATCHSECRET                                                                                   HMMA-33442to be his patron (to "help him out financially") if this could be doneon a very discreet basis. He said he hoped to put on another Cubanshow in Chile, before returning to his family in Havana. LIFEATcoverage of LIRING-3's apartment for 26 October showed, incident-ally, that REYES maintains close enough relations with SilviaDURAN (of Lee Harvey OSWALD fame) to be invited by her to herhouse for lunch.2. Carmen MOLINA de CARRASCO is the leftist wife of a   prominent local neurosurgeon, Juan CARRASCO with whom she spent   some years in Cuba. Both are Mexican citizens. According to what   she previously told LIRING-3, Carmen MOLINA helped gather some of   the information used to defend both Victor RICO-Galan and the   ROSENBERGS. With the help of Alicia ECHEVERRIA and the latter's   uncle (who is the current Mexican Minister of Interior) Carmen   obtained a prominent position on the Mexican Olympic Committee   in the publication department. She is a close friend of Carmen   LOZADA who is planning to divorce her husband, Enrique RAMIREZ, a   rabid pro-CASTRO Mexican chemical engineer who is still in Cuba.   Carmen LOZADA's father, Armenegildo LOZADA, a noted Mexican   physician is married to a pro-CASTRO Cuban. According to informa-   tion made available to LIFTER-1, in early 1967 both he (Armenegildo)   and his second and present wife are hard core Marxists. This   vile, pra maria victoria de la cruz, a Cuban, still according to   LIFTER-1, is a personal friend of several Cuban leaders including   the CASTRO brothers. Husband and wife maintain a close relation-   ship with the local Cuban Ambassador, Joaquin HERNANDEZ-Armas.   Carmen LOZADA apparently also started out as a hard line Marxist.   Information dated 1961 from RNLABILE indicates that she was !   active in Communist organizational work at UNAM and participated   in Cuban led activities directed against ex-Peruvian President   PRADO. Although she is still clearly a leftist, Carmen may not be   quite as red now. She told ROWTON, for example, that she felt   nothing but disgust for her fanatically pro-CASTRO husband and   had strong resentment toward her step-mother. Per LIENVOY, July   1961, Carmen was in contact with Teresa PROENZA when the latter   was at the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City.3. At a private lunch with Carmen MOLINA, 28 October,   ROWTON explained that he was a Greek leftist (although not a KKE   member) involved in lucrative international business. He said   that because of the current situation in Greece, it was difficult   for him to operate in Mexico as openly as he would like. He   could thus use MOLINA's help in obtaining certain types of   information and making discreet contacts with Mexican government   and business circles. MOLINA agreed to do what she could. She   stated that she was not a member of any Mexican or any other   Communist organization, but merely a leftist sympathizer. She   also stated that she currently maintains little or no contact with   the Cuban Embassy. LIOSION-1, to whom a photograph of MOLINA,   REYES and LOZADA (copy of which is forwarded attached) was shown   stated he had never seen these three persons enter the Cuban   Embassy.4. Following the developments described above, Station   plans to:a. Continue to develop REYES to the point where,per Reference, he may be recruited by ROWTON either underfalse flag as a Greek leftist or in alias as a WOFIRMmember to become a reporting source in Havana. Primarymotivation in REYES' case would almost certainly befinancial.
