-8-Report No. 350 21 June 1970.Ruiz asks PACHECO if they have reserved tickets for him and BARREDA, who have been called from Havana by telephone. The tickets are to be reserved for the two of them only, not for the wives, neither Mercedes nor Nilda.Ruiz says that NEIRA is to arrive today on his way to Paris, and they will see what he has to say about this (the call from Havana) They don't know if the call from Havana is for the abassadors meeting which will be held now, or only for the two of them to discuss something related to Spain. Pacheco says that that is maybe why the ambassador of Helsinki asked for reservations yesterday.Ruiz continues to talk with the new person that has arrived. He says that he has had to go to the Hotel Conde Duque to visit the crew of Cubana, who have never once come to the embassy, although sometimes some of them are here for a week: they don't attend the study circles, the meetings, nor anything. They havee complained about Ruiz because sometimes they have learned of receptions that have taken place and they haven't been invited. Ruiz.says that if at these receptions they invited industrial and commercial people, or even cultural people, they would get nothing done here. When they give a reception it is because of work, to maintain contacts, find things out, and not for any other purpose. They have nothing to do there, and he is not going to invite them to just come and eat and drink When they have to spend some pesetas they do it, but for questions of work. Nevertheless they have the obligation to maintain contacts. Ruiz has sometimes met these people on the street, especially the air-stewardesses, with some "pick-up", and although all the people they are friendly with are very nice people, they should know who these people are.Ruiz then explains to this new comrade the problem of the location of the embassy. He telb him that they are building a now embassy and all the services will be together. There will also be come community rooms, such as a library, a recreation rcom, a dining room with a bar, that they will all have a chance to see, but this is going to take probably a year. It will be on Avonida de la Havana. Meanwhile they are putting up with this place because they only pay $50.00 for it, and Havana finds its a gift. If they were paying $500, by now they woul in't be here; they would have found some other place. They have the place rented since 1936, and even though they have spent more than a thousand (or one hundred thousand) in fixing it, it is still an old house.With this new arrival he talks about the children, and the problems they have with the schools. They have to find schools where they don't teach religion nor politics.
[104-10181-10007.pdf — page 91]
-9-Report No.350 (continued).21 June 1970.It seems that they would like to bring a professor from Hamana, so that the children could study the same revolutionary rethods as there, but Ruiz sees this as a very difficult thing to do. Because, one would not solve the situation of the different grades and ages, and they are not going to send four or five because they are needed there. He sees it as a better possibility to hire Spanish profössers among the young capable people, with révolutionary leanings and who are simpathetic toward Cubans, and have them teach the methods, and from books that are brought from there. In this way they could have many professors or teachers for the various ares, and they could rent and furnish an apartment for this purpose.Apparently Buiz has no problems with the school his children attend. The Director of the school is a friend of theirs and wisits the embassy. Her husband is a communist. The children that attend the school have the same political leanings as their parents. Noither religion nor politics are taught. Ruiz says that the two older ones eat at the school, but the little ones don't as they need help. Ruiz pays over $100 for L. The person who is with him has two children and pays 100 for the two.The children of this new comrade that is talking to Ruiz arrive day after tomorrow. He has a little girl ll years old and the other one is nine. Ruiz is advising the commade to send hi children to the same school where his children go. The name of the school is "ESPINO" or "EL PINO", in the Calle Serrano. He says he will be glad to speak to the Director. They have sports, and music, and the children can have lunch at the school.Report No.35125 June 1970He is talking with Mercedes, and they enter the office and continue the conversation. They are speaking in confidential voices, because Mercedes normally talks very loud, they are now talking in very low voices. Mercedes is trying to consale him, saying that his work is very difficult and little understood. Ruiz says that they are"throwing him the bait."He is very dopressed.Tomorrow he has an appointment with Quiroga publishing comnany, who have had a meeting with DAVID PAX(phon) about the rights of the sons: "Guantanamera.", which was acknowledred in London by an American firm, and it's author as being the Cuban Jose FERNANDEZ Diaz, at a reunion that was held there. In the United States alone there are rights (or royalties) of over $50,000. They are trying to establish definite authorship for this Cuban, so that he will be able to collect some of the
[104-10181-10007.pdf — page 92]
-10-Report 351 (continued)royalties from the song throughout the world, which have been calculated at between $750,000 and $1,000,000, and although this amount will have to be divided among many things, something would fall to them.Ruiz says to work abroad they have to or should send people of the greatest trust, otherwise it is better that they remain in Cuba. If there isn't complete confidence it is a constant struggle with the capitalistic life, money, the stores, the easy life. They mention De la Nuez, and Ruiz says if he's gone he's gone, but the interesting thing would be to know what motivated him; his wife, his son, or money. He says that it has caused a great impression here, and that no one even imagined such a thing. Only two days before he had been in the study circle with all of them.A girl that is in this meeting with Ruiz says that De la Nuez' daughter is married to Juan Antonio GARCIA, who is Head of Government..., that he has been proposed for ambassador (Ruiz says that they will now have to reconsider this), and what they all three agree on is that De la Nuez was not to blame,Ruiz mentions the letter from De la Nuez' son in which ho says that his father has betrayed them. They also mention an ambassador who has left (for Cuba-?) and took watches as gifts to everyone in the Ministry. Ruiz thinks that some of them will remain here in Spain as they have a great deal going for them there.Report No.352 26 June 1970Ruiz' is very displeased. He speaks to Horacio about how badly some of the comrades speak of him when they return to Havana, He asks him if he remembers the name of one of these comrades that spoke badly of him last summer when he was there on vaca- tion. It was someone named COLON and another one that soon left. After what COLON said they wrote him a letter calling his atten- tion to the criticism. Ruiz is very worried about his re-call to Havana. He tells Horacio that he doesn't think it is about his work, and Horacio says they are doing things there that are super-human, that without the necessary means at hand they are resolving difficult problem of various kinds. Ruiz mentions contacts that he has had in Spain with different people, and he never has committed an error, and has always handled everything with great tact and in favor of his government, even when he has had to deal with Falangists.Ruiz says that ho is very sensitive and that things have got to the point that he can't just let them go by, things they are accusing him of in Havana. But, there is no one that has the courage to tell him directly to his face so that he could Justify himself, and if they are things that he cannot handle then for them to call him back, and relieve him of the post because "Corr andante Guillermo Ruiz cannot resolve them, but the thing is
[104-10181-10007.pdf — page 93]
-11-Report No.352(continued)that the Minister doesn't want to receive him or listen tohim when he goes there. Horacio says that the worst of itis that here in Spain there is always some personality from therethat they have to entertain, someone important, and that theattention they-need-is continual, and sometimes it is necess-ary to attend to the people here in Spain, which preventsthem from attending those who arrive from there, but theydon't understand this.He continues to talk with Horacio and he is indignant. Ruizsays that he has been in the Revolution since he was twentyyears old, when he began to think for himself. He says thathe belongs to no party, none other, that is, but the Cubancommunist party. He says that the situation is becoming souncomfortable regarding him, and he doesn't like it at all.He says he puts everything he has anfall the care possibleinto doing his job.Ruiz says that one never knows about these things in Havana,and that it is possible that he won't be returning. In theevent that this should happen, he is going to leave Heracioofficially in charge, so that he will represent him duringhis abscence.as Charge'de Affairs, and if he returns he willnotify the Spanish government officially. He wants sammlesor models of the passports to take with him, and then hetells Horacio that if he has not returned by the 18t!! ofJuly, that he should represent him at the official reception.He gives Horacio instructions as to what to wear, what theofficial ceremonies are and just what they consist of.Report No.354 30 June 1970Ruiz speaks to someone that calls and gives him a messagewhich annoys Ruiz. Someone has called the Provincial Depart-ment of Public Health of Santander saying that they (the Cubans)изо "boric acid" in the stoves(?) which they export. Theygive him this message in the name of the Commercial Office ofCuba, they have a Latin-Amert an accent, and say that therwould take adequate measures so that no stove would be shipped.Ruiz says to Horacio that he doesn't have time to take careof this matter, and for him to accompany Franco and go to theGeneral Department of Security and make charges about thetelephone call which is interfering with the trade betweenCuba and Spain. He says to go right up as far as the GeneralDirector if necessary, not explaining the "boric acid" one wayor another, but simply as to the malicious call which wasmade in the name of the Commercial Office of Cuba. This cancause a delay of six or eight days in the departure of a shipwhile this call is being explained in Public Health.

# DISPATCHCLASSIFICATION: SECRETTO: Chief, Western Hemisphere DivisionINFO: Chief, European DivisionChief of Station, WH/Miami: COS, LisbonFROM: Chief of Station, MadridSUBJECT: TYPIC QUTIMIDAida Rosa CORREA Felipe de ECHEVARRIAACTION REQUIRED REFERENCES:Reference: MADRID 12301.  QUTIMID periodically has reported contact between Subject and Guillermo RUIZ Perez, the Cuban Minister in Madrid, mostly over the telephone but also indicating that he has seen her personally. It would appear that he has taken unusually strong interest in her, consibring the number of other more demanding tasks he claims to have. Until now, we have not been able to identify either Subject or her relationship with RUIZ.2.  On 28 May QUDOZE (a sensitive joint audio penetration with liaison) reported the following memorandum (presumably to Havana) on Subject as dictated by RUIZ:"Sr. RUIZ Ojeda. Some months ago we received a ciphered cable dealing with Aida Rosa CORREA Felipe asking that we contact her to determine her situation. At that time we informed you that said Aida Rosa CORREA, married to Pedro ECHEVARRIA , Portuguese citizen who was in Cuba during 1959-1968, intended to return to our country, abandoning her husband because of his alcoholism.""Approximately one week ago the brother of Aida Rosa CORREA Luis CORREA Felipe passed through Madrid en route to France on a special mission. He spoke with her at the Airport about definitely returning in order to see that her 12-year-old son might be educated in Cuba."Distribution:2 - C/WHD2 - C/EUR2 - COS, WH/Miami2 - COS, LisbonMICROFILMEDJUN 15 1970CS COPYDATE: 3 June 1970OSMA - 26265CLASSIFICATION: SECRET

CONTINUATION OFDISPATCH S=E-C-R-ET- OSMA-26265Today we interviewed Aida Rosa CORREA and her son, who at all times has maintained a positive attitude toward this Embassy concerning her return. We have let her know that given the circumstances of her presence in Spain - not as a 'gusano' but as the wife of a foreign doctor who has worked in our country - we saw no difficulty to prevent her from returning, especially taking into account the fact that she expresséd herself as a revolutionary, but that first we had to receive official permission."In our opinion, because the situation in which she finds herself in Spain because of marriage to a foreimer, her return can be authorized, based on what has expired."Philip C.
