# SECRET13 January 1965MEMORANDUM FOR: The RecordSUBJECT: Project WUBRINY--Antilles Materials Company, Ltd., Discussion by Mr. Edward Stanulis with SKEWER/1.1. I made initial telephonic contact with SKEWER/1 at approximately 1100 hours on 10 January 1965 and made arrangements for a meeting in my hotel room for the following day between the hours of 1600 and 1700 to be followed by another on Tuesday at a time and place that would be convenient for SKEWER/1. Later in the day SKEWER/1 informed me that he would be unable to meet with us on Tuesday as he was leaving by air on the evening of 11 January for a series of appointments in the States.2. The meeting with SKEWER/1 was held in my hotel room at 1645 hours on 11 January. I told SKEWER/1 that as he knew, one of KUBARK'S prime information targets in Latin America concerned the activities of Castro's Cuba and that in this connection some of our people had been thinking for some time that it would be most useful in pursuing this requirement to have entree into shipping interests that were active in Caribbean waters, SKEWER/I said he thought this idea excellent. I further stated that these people had heard that SKEWER/l's firm was discussing the possibility of entering into an exclusive Caribbean distributorship contract with Alvin T. Philpotts, Jr., who is associated with the Antilles Materials Company, Ltd. S. A. of Panama and Puerto Rico, and asked him if he had any knowledge of the individual or the negotiations. SKEWER/1 replied that he did not know of either, but that his son would be familiar with both.3. I asked SKEWER/1 if he would be willing to investigate the situation discreetly without mentioning any interest on KUBARK's part and at the same time consider the commercial feasibility of the venture for AMCO. He agreed.4. In elaborating on the basic concept, I told SKEWER/1 that if the proper maritime firm were located (that is, one that may be floundering now but has commercial viability potential), we would be interested in placing with the company an individual who possesses the necessary commercial background qualifications and also has the capability of accomplishing certain KUBARK requirements, SKEWER/1 reiterated his conviction that the concept is an excellent one and said he would do all in his power toSECRET

He agreed and set the meeting for Monday, 19 January 1965. SKEWER/1 gave me his unlisted private telephone numier and suggested that I contact him Monday morning, 19 January 1965, to set time and place for the meeting. The number is 842-2120.E. A.

SECRET1 February 1965## Case Officer Comment:The meeting wit.: SKEWER/1 confirmed Mr. Philpotts' report that his relations with the Puerto Rican Cement Company are good. It also revealed the terms of the relationship between the Fuerto Rican Cement Company and AMCO which Mr. Philpotte had not reported in detall to WUBRINY/2. It is obvious that Mr. Philpotts has sold himself to certain officials in the Puerto Rican Cement Company who have the confidence of the Company's top management. The extent to which Mr. Philpotts may have conned other businessmen into extending credit and the amount of such credit is a key factor for in- vestigation by WUBRINY/1 and 12, and Mr. Malia on their forthcoming trip. It is feared that Mr. Philpotts has Incurred so many debts that the firing of Mr. Philpotts and reorganization of AMCO would be prohibitively expensive.GALE W. ALLENDOCO/SASECRET

14 January 1965MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD:SUBJECT: Antilles Materials Company, Ltd.1.  Mr. Ed Stanulis telephoned Mr. Allen at home from San Juan, Puerto Rico, on 11 January 1965. He met with SKEWER/1 as scheduled at 3 F.M. SKEWER/1 was not familiar with any negotiations between the Puerto alcan Cement Company and AICO but agreed to look quietly into the matter. He made a telephone call to PR Cement's Sales Manager before he left for New York. SKEWER/1 said that he had such a heavy schedule on this trip, requiring his presence in New York, Chicago, and Connecticut, that he could not squeeze in a meeting with KUBARK representatives. He would, however, be glad to meet with KUBARK representatives in Puerto Rico on 18 January 1965. This delay would also enable him to investigate thoroughly the status of negotiations with AMCO.2.  Mr. Stanulis said that he had followed the previously agreed approach to SKEWER/1. He emphasized that KUBARK is interested in AMCO only to the extent that a feasible commercial arrangement can be worked out, so that placement of an officer in AMCO to work / against Cuba would make sense. He indicated that ACO is not doing too well financially and that the question is whether it can be resurrected on a sound commercial basis. Mr. Stanulis informed SKEWER/1 that KUBARK is not interested in taking an equity position in AMCO.3.  Mr. Stanulis affirmed unequivocally to Mr. Allen his previous assessment of SKEWER/1, namely that SKEWER/1 will do anything to help KUBARK, particularly against Cuba, Mr. Stanulis will write a report upon arrival in Washington on or about 13 January 1965.DistributionOrig.
