Rolando Collado Ardon, leader of the Guatemalan exile community in Mexico and a member of the Guatemalan Communist Party (PGT - Partido Guatemalteco del Trabajo) said that the arrest of Victor Rico Galan on charges of subversion was a good thing for the PGT. Collado was referring to Rico Galan's influence on Guatemalan guerrilla leader Marco Antonio Yon Sosa. According to Collado, Rico Galan prevented the PGT from persuading Yon Sosa to join the Party in 1963 because of Rico's Trotskyist interference and the aid he gave to Yon Sosa at the time.[^1]2. Medical doctora Miguel Cruz Ruiz and Rolf Beiner Huebner, two of those arrested with Rico Calan, have been associated with Rico since early 1965. Both were very much involved in the medical doctors' strikes of late 1964 which continued into 1965. When the strikes were finally settled both Cruz Ruiz and Meiner Houbner vere dismissed from their jobs at the Social Security Hospital at Cuauhtemoc 330. They went directly to Rico Galan who put them to work, mainly writing medical articles for the magazine Sucesos for which Rico Galan worked. [^2]3. Rico Galan sent both Cruz Ruiz and Meiner Huebner to Cuba in 1965 and both are well indoctrinated Communists.3 However, neither belongs to any Communist Party or organization: Both, as well as Dr. Jorge Vélez Trejo, also very active during the medical strikes, have traveled through Latin America makingSECRET/NO FOREIGN DISSEM---[^1] 201-195151/ 201-336474 CIT.GUATEMALA[^2] 201-733560/ CIT.MEXICO.

He has been a prolific reporter of reliable information. The reported information was obtained directly from leaders of both the PPS and the General Union of Workers and Peasants of Mexico, The substance of these persons' comments are believed to be accurately reported; their validity however cannot be assessed.1. (Summary: Popular Socialist Party (PPS) attitudes toward the arrest of Victor Rico Galan and others on charges of conspiring against the Government remain unsympathetic and the Party intends to stay outside the entire matter although PPS Sec- retary General Vicente Lombardo Toledano may seize the oppor- tunity to strike back at some of his enemies by issuing a statement condemning the plans attributed to Rico Galan. Within theo Party there is considerable skepticism about the truth of the published charges. While several Party leaders do not doubt that there is some truth to the charges they aro quite convinced that there was no danger of imminent rebellion and that Mexican institutions stood in no peril from Rico Galan and his friends. Given the energy and efficiency with which the Mexican Government has dealt with less melodramatic threats in the past, one cannot but suspect that it is merely a tried and true Government Maneuver. Also, it is believed in the PP3 that police accounts of their role in the matter have been exaggerated to enhance the reputation of the police both with the President and with the public. The rumor that the Guatemalan Government may have asked the Mexican Government to silence Rico Galan because of his violent attacks against the nos Guatemalan administration is generally discounted wince the complaints of Guatemalan officials are certainly of no concern to Mexico.)CONFIDENTIAL/NO FOREIGN DISSENDISTRIBUTION

There is even a rumor that because of Rico Galan's harsh attacks on the new Guatemalan administration, the Guatemalan Government asked the Mexican Government to deal with Rico Galan.
