SF14-207FAIR PLAY FOR CUBA COMMITTEEThe April 6, 1960, edition of "The New York Times"newspaper contained a full-page advertisement captioned"What Is Really Happening in Cuba," placed by the Fair Playfor Cuba Committee (FPCC). This advertisement announcedthe formation of the FPCC in New York City and declared theFPCC intended to promulgate "the truth about revolutionaryCuba" to neutralize the distorted American press."The New York Times" edition of January 11, 1961,reported that at a hearing conducted before the United StatesSenate Internal Security Subcommittee on January 10, 1961,Dr. CHARLES A. SANTOS-BUCH identified himself and ROBERT TABERas organizers of the FPCC. He also testified he and TABERobtained funds from the Cuban Government which were appliedtoward the cost of the aforementioned advertisement.On May 16, 1963, a source advised that during thefirst two years of the FPCC's existence there was a strugglebetween Communist Party (CP) and Socialist Workers Party (SWP)elements to exert their power within the FPCC and therebyinfluence FPCC policy. This source added that during thepast year there had been a successful effort by FPCC leadershipto minimize the role of these and other organizations in theFPCC so that their influence as of May, 1963, was negligible.The SWP has been designated by the AttorneyGeneral of the United States pursuant toExecutive Order 10450.On May 20, 1963, a second source advised thatVINCENT "TED" LEE, FPCC National Office Director, was thenformulating FPCC policy and had indicated that he had nointention of permitting FPCC policy to be determined by anyother organization.

SF.14-2072FAIR PLAY FOR CUBA COMMITTEE (cont'd.)The November 23, 1963, edition of "The New York Times" reported that Senator THOMAS J. DODD of Connecticut had called FPCC "the chief public relations instrument of the Castro network in the United States." It is to be noted that Senator DODD was a member of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee which twice conducted hearings on the FPCC.The December 27, 1963, edition of "The New York World Telegram and Sun" newspaper stated that the pro-Castro FPCC was seeking to go out of business and that its prime activity during its lifetime had been sponsorship of pro-Castro street rallies and mass picket lines, and the direction of an active propaganda mill highlighting illegal travel-to-Cuba campaigns. Its comparatively brief span of life was attributed to mounting anti-Castro American public opinion, the 1962 Congressional hearings which disclosed FPCC financing by Castro's United Nations Delegation, and ultimately, the bad publicity which the FPCC received from disclosure of activities on its behalf by suspected Presidential assassin LEE H. OSWALD.On February 6, 1964, the previously mentioned second source advised that V. T. LEE had recently remarked that the FPCC was dead and that there were no plans to organize another similar organization.On April 13, 1964, a third source advised that there had not been any FPCC activity in many months and that the FPCC had been dissolved.APPENDIX99937NW 88613 Docld:34530152 Page 38
