# March 20, 1967SUBJECT: Review of Certain Hero and Martyr Case FilesThe "Heroes and Martyrs" cases were not considered-under the same regulations as the dependents of the invaders of the Bay of Pigs. The persons suposed to receive payment were designated, in some cases by "the Department" and in other cases by the C.R.C. through its executives.. There are cases in which a written memorandum was given to us but there are others in which no memorandum was given. We were instructed to pay no more than $175.00 monthly to each, and as it can be seen, many cases are receiving lower amount a and never the amount of dependents was taking in considera- tion. There is only one case receiving a higher amount, Mrs. Hilda R. Carballo (widow of Jesus Delgado), who receives $250.00 because we were specially instructed to pay this amount.In regards to documents, the files are very poor, and they mostly have only letters informing changes of address.1) MODESTA ACOSTA (Case #95)   Widow of Nemesio Rodriguez   No documents - only letters $ 25.002) ROSA M.

SECRETChief of Station, ManaguaChief of Station, JITAVEChief, Western Hemisphere DivisionTYPIC/AMBIDDY/AMBIMSupport for Dependents of Operational PersonnelXFOR YOUR INFORMATIONREFERENCE: HNMA 3703, dated 28 Merch 19671.  When Wallace A. GROMERY met with AMBIDDY/1 on 13 January 1967 to formally terminate the AMWORLD operation, AMBIDDY/1 discussed in detail reference dependents who had been receiving financial assistance from AMWORLD funds and requested that GROWERY explore the possibility of WOFACT financial assistance following termination of their AMWORLD monthly support payments. An investigation was conducted by both JIMAVE and Headquarters to determine if the agents named by AMDIDDY/1 had been employed by WOFACT in order to determine what, if any, obligation might exist to provide financial assistance to the dependents. The results of the combined Headquarters investigation, keyed to reference dependents, are summarized below for Station Managua information.(IDEN A) Subject was a WOFACT agent under contract. His HOC provided payment of his $400 monthly salary to his dependent parents for two years following possible death while engaged on a WOFACT mission. After Subject's execution in 1962 the parents received his regular monthly salary until 23 June 1963. At that time Headquarters decided to liquidate the remaining balance of $6400 and paid this amount in a lump sum to the parents. Headquarters considers that all legal and moral obligations have been discharged and is not inclined to assume any further financial obligations to the parents. AMBIDDY/1 is apparently unaware that the parents have received approximately $10,000 from WOFACT.CONT/HNMA 1985SECRET24 April 1967WH/COG/CICS N.

# SECRET1 1935(IDEN B) Although IDEM C, the husband of IDEN B, was never directly employed by FOFACT, IDEN B receives $175 per month es a dependent HEROES/MARTYRS widow under the AMBUD program nad has boun paid a total of 310,850 from March 1062 to date through tho JMWAVE/ANDUD cover mechanism. Ireourably AMBIDDY/1 is unntare that this depondent has been receiving regular ANBUD assistanco in addition to the $125 por month received from AMWORLD funds.(IDEN D) AMBIDDY/1 provided GROWERY with the complete namo and details of the activitios of IDEN D's husband prior to his arrost and subsequent 6-30 year pri- son sentence. With this information traces vere run on Subject with negative results. Since neither JMWAVE nor Headquarters records produced any evidence Subject had ever boon a WOPACT employee, au obligation exists to provide financial assistance to IDEM B.2. Although referenco indicates the discussion between Jamen D. ZABOTH and Ernest A. LUSSY took place after ABIDDY/i's conver- sation with GROWERY in January, it is not clear when, or by whow, the subject was originally brought to ZABOTU's attention. If AMBIDDY/1 was the source of ZANOTH's information it is noteworthy that he apparently neglected to mention his prior detailed dis- cussion with GROWERY.3. Under the circumstances, it is not possible for Headquarters to take any actice to provide support to these individuals.Ellon F. MARGANYDistribution:Orig and l - COS, Mangus1- COS, JIWAVE

# DISPATCHCLASSIFICATIONSECRETTO:Chief, Western Hemisphere DivisionFROM:Chief of Station, JMWAVESUBJECT: TYPIC/AMBUD/OPERATIONALConcerning Dependent Payment for Jorgo KIM Yum (Case #143)REFERENCE: UFGA-26771, 17 January 1967ACTION REQUIRED: As stated in paragraph three1. Blographic data concerning the paronts of Subject (201-298852)   has been received from the trustee, Raul SANTOVENIA, and is forwarded   herewith as Attachment A.2. A review has been made of JMWAVE, ANTIKI, and AMOT filos   concerning continued justification for the payment of $225.00 por   month to the trustee on behalf of the paronts in Cuba. Significant   points resulting from the review aro as follows:a. Subject was executed for a prior crime in Cubaand not because of participation at the Bay of Pigs.(Murder of a Cuban soldier during oscape from Cuba inMarch 1960). See "Bohemia" clipping forwarded herewithas Attachment B.b. The father of Subject, Podro KIM, is probablyidentical to one Pedro KIM who is alloged by ANTIKI-1to be an active communist in Cuba. A Pedro KIM is alsodescribed as an active communist in the following reports:DCE-15460, 16 August 1962; DCE-15946, 26 October 1962.c. Although it appears that the trustee has efficientlyhandled the funds forwarded to him ($12,602.00 in bankaccount as of December 1965), thoro is no evidence thatany form of assistance has boon provided to the depondentsin Cuba.3. In view of the background of this case, as described in   paragraph 3 above, it is recommended that all payments for this   case be terminated.Attachments:1 - Letter1 - ClippingDistribution:S - WH/COG w/1 copy Att.

Fue infiltrado en Cuba por la "Compañía" varias veces, en una de ellas viajo con Virginia CASTELLANOS Handal de Guillot en que fue fusilado.Don Manuel Guillot padre tiene 68 años de edad, es espástico, necesita ayuda para periatica y solo se mueve con aparatos ortopédicos. Este pobre viejo viajo a nuestra Sección México y su mujer es invalida. Nosotros le estábamos pasando $300.00 mensuales para que viera la forma en que este hombre pueda hacer otro trabajo que al que hacia de oficinista. Hay que atenderle a tres operaciones quirúrgicas y el médico dice que necesita una mano !!## SILVIA HEBEKIA:Es la viuda de Jorge Furqora, el que desembarco en parte de armas y "Jefe de Infiltración" que fueron a Cuba por la Sección de Bahía de Cochinos.Esta pobre mujer esta sola en el mundo con dos niños. Ella esta recibiendo tratamiento Psiquiatra con El MRI le pasa 125 dólares mensuales. Ella no puede abandonar su negocio con los dos hijos para ir a trabajar. Su esposo fue fusilado el 12 de Octubre de 1962 y murió sin decir el punto por donde entraban las armas y los nombres de la "Compañía" en Cuba.## ROSA FARRAS:Es la esposa de Francisco Echeverria Palomaresque. Hace 8 años a 30 años de Presidio por los esbirros rojos. Esta mujer necesita ayuda para vivir en esa casa para mantenerse ella y los dos niños que tiene. No le es suficiente el MRI le daba $150.00 dólares mensuales. Este hombre (su esposo) trabajo intensamente con la gente de Francisco y transportando las armas que la "Compañía" metía en Cuba.En todos estos casos que son desesperados, el MRI ha tratado hasta 100 tratamientos mágicos.
