Source has reported infrequently but reliably on Rico Galan's activities. The reported information was obtained from Mrs. Rico Galan and from a journalist.Field Comment: The 7 September 1966 issue of Siempre! magazine (which appeared on the stands on 1 September) carried on pages 10 and 11 a letter written from prison by Victor Rico Galan explaining and defending his position and accusing the Mexican Government of being the real violators of the Constitution. On the following pages an editorial titled Mexico No Es Una Insula de Gorilas (Mexico Is Not a Police State) which rejected all of the points put forth by Rico Galan, defended Mexican institutions and concluded with the observation that time and space had been devoted to what history would properly record as a minor incident because of the magazine's devotion to freedom of expression.1. Inga de Rico Galan, wife of Siempre! writer Victor Rico Galan, said on 5 September 1966, that her husband was resigning from Siempre! because of the harsh editorial against him and his ideas which appeared in the 7 September issue of the magazine. Mrs. Rico Galan said that the editorial was far harsher than even President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz's comments on the matter which he included in his 1 September State of the Union message.SECRET/NO FOREIGN DISSEM

If *Siempre!* refuses to publish her husband's letter of resignation and she seemed to feel that this might be the case, Manuel Marcue Pardinas of the Communist newsmagazine *Politica* has assured Rico that he will publish it in *Politica*.3. On 6 September, the journalist Froilan Manjarrez told Antonio Caram of the Cuban news agency Prensa Latina that Eduardo de los Rios (Rius), the political cartoonist, had resigned from *Siempre!* in protest over the magazine's treatment of Rico Galan. Since it was doubtful that *Siempre!* will publish Rius' letter of resignation, arrangements have already been made with Marcue Pardinas to publish it in *Politica*.4. Manjarrez remarked that *Siempre!* publisher Jose Pages Llergo had blundered badly in his handling of the Rico Galan affair and that people who had never been especially sympathetic to Rico Galan were none-the-less totally disgusted with Pages. Rico is being spoken of as a brave man and Pages as a contemptible one, according to Manjarrez, as a result of the editorial.1. Field Comment: HMM-10,625 reported that it was uncertain whether *Politica* would continue to publish after the 15 August issue.SECRET/NO FOREIGN DISSEM

She said that she is allowed to see him every day and to take his food, clothing, books, papers, and other things that he has asked for. She said also that friends have been very kind. In fact, her husband has told her that he wants the money which has been offered to him to be shared among the other prisoners who have none and who are trying to get bond.2. As to her husband's chances for being released on bail, Mrs. Rico Galan said that a number of legal experts on this kind of case have been consulted and their opinions have been rather pessimistic.3.

In an article in Siempre in March 1963 he advocated the foundation of a new political party reflecting the ideology of General Lazaro Cardenas, leftist former President of Mexico. This would have provided, in his belief, the Mexican left a political organization truly responsive to the radical tendencies of the 1910 revolution. This was necessary because the MLN, whose membership covers the spectrum of Mexican Communist Party to PRI, could not take open political stands without antagonizing some of the membership. The new party would have represented a "third position", socialism in internal affairs and independence of any bloc in international affairs. With a party such as this an ite political action arm, the MLR would have developed naturally into a broad national movement such as the FRAP in Chile. (Some specious reasoning here.)7.

Subject was at that time in Cuba.8. PASSPORT: Subject formerly carried Mexican passport number 57115, with Cuban courtesy visas. On 9 September 1963 Subject was issued Mexican passport number 56341 (er 53641).9. ACTIVITIES: The reason for the October 1962 trip to Cuba was ostensibly to gather material for a political biography of Fidel Castro. The May/ Juna 1963 trip was to interview Pidel Castro after his return from the Boviet Union. Subject claimed that he had spent eight deys with Fidel during that visit, five of those aboard ship.On 24 October 1963 HYSAGR-1 in Panama City reported that Subjeet had received an operational scsigiment from Castro (during the May/June 1963 visit to Habana) on which to travel through Contral and South America. His aission was to persuade loftist parties to izmediately begin acts of sabotage and violence, and to try to maintain thesa in order to take pressure off Venezuela. Subject was also instructed to bring about better unity among competing leftist factions to ensure greater impact for their work. Subject did, in fact, contact many Communist Party and leftist leaders during his Central and South America travel during the period October 1963 - Jamary 196. Frez the (fragmentary) reporting on Subject frea October 1963 through January 1964 it appears that he did discuss the question of leftist unity.10. In October 1964 the Guatemalan authorities captured a number of tape recordings from tho guerrillas in operations subsequent to a guerrilla attack on a garrison in Pansos, Alta Verapas. Included in those tapes was one made by RICO Qalan for delivery to the guerrillas. It consists mainly of an exhortation for unity (among the POT and the 13 November Group)

SECRET-3-and counsel against letting doetrino replace action. The tape clearly reveals RICO to be at once a very intellectual leftist who also has his feet planted quite firaly on the ground. His approach is pragantic, not theoretical. The text of the tape indicates that it was made sometime after February and before mid-October 1964.11. There is little at hand to indicate what manner of man is RICO Galan. His 201 file reflects facts but not impressions. He apparently is known personally by LICOOKY-1 and LITAMIL-9 in Mexico City, and these two sources should be queried.SECRET
