1. On 9 April 1962, Jose Antonio Saturn nga (ca "Che"), born
11 April 193, Santiago de Cuba; Mani actress: /o Eliza Sadurni Casas,] 06
08 [1619 Meridian Ave., Apt. C-10] Miant Seach, telephone: [JE 2-2641] was
..08.
Interviewed.
2. Source said that during the revolutica he v't a member of the
DR in the University of Habana. After the revolution he went to the
University of Orine, Santiago de Cuba, and eventually became the DRE
chief for the city. In regard to his former PR association he had no
operational leads, claiming that all contact with PR members terminated
in 1959; and he knew no one who attained any stature in the Castro
Government.
_
3. As DRE chief for Santiago, the source claimed that he had 50
members who he considered well organized and capable of any type of
action. He said that there were, and are, other members, but he does
not consider them in the same category with the 50 who are organized into
cells. He said cach cell has nine mea. There are four cells in the
University of Criente and two in the high school.
4. He said that he left Santiago in March 1962 and turned the DRE
over to his deputy. He then went to Rabans and informed the DRE leader-
ship that the second in command had taken over and he was told that
Habana would initiate contact with the new leader. (Note: Since close
relations are maintained by the JAVE Station and the DRE, no attempt
was made to press the source for narxes and addresses, etc., as this in-
formation can be obtained in subsequent outside debriefings. The JMHAVS
Officer responsible for the DRE operational matters was informed of the
source's arrival and processing.)
5. Source said that at the time he left Santiago, the remnants of
the Catholic student organization was trying to make contact with the
DRE and he believes that by this time this contact has been made. He
said that the DRE member who was following this matter, and who would
follow through, was a blind person.
6. Listing the arms and supplies in the possession of the DRE in
Santiago, the source said that it has about 5-5 pounds of plastic remain-
ing out of a shipment of 20 pounds which was received from the CRE 
in
Habana. He said the DRE in Santiago placed bombs in places where the
explosion would not injure anyone. As far as arms are concerned the
source said that the DRE in Santiago has ten 15 caliber pistols; five
38 caliber pistols; one M-3;, and one Tommy Sun.
7. The source furnished the following KUNUER-type information:

He said that his father is in jail in Puerto Boniato,
and that in order to try and get him free, the source went to see Kajor
Telarmino "Anibal" Castilla, the chief of training for the Palma Soriano
Military Encampment, whom he knew from their days in the Santiago High
School. Source made his plea and "Anibal" told him that before he could
act upon it, he would have to talk to the source for five hours in order
to determine his political orientation. The source replied that he did
not come to talk politics but to plead for his father. "Anibal"
answered that he would think about it and call the cource one way or
another, but he never called. Source thought that this story adequate-
ly demonstrated the (Commnist) political orientation of "Anibal.
b. The brother of "Anibal" (pera 6a above) is "Bertico"
Castilla, first name possibly Alberto. He resigned from the army and
is now living in Santiago, but the source is not clear on "Bertico's"
political orientation.
C. Electra Fernandez, the wife of Mendez Cominche (the
Santiago G-2 chief), is no longer the civil head (comissionado) of
Santiago. She is now the president of the Federacion de Mujeres Cubanas.
a. The scurce has given a complete military map of Oriente
Province to the DRE member he left in charge of Santiago DIE (see para 4
7 above). Information is passed from Santiago to the DIE in Habana and
the latter, in turn, is to forward the information to the States.
c. Source said that his contacts who work in licaro report
that the Nicaro-Mayari Arriba area is restricted and that unknown types
of military installations are being constructed.
f. The foreign instructors in the University of Oriente con-
sist of Czechs and Chileans. The Czechs have started a new medical
school in the university and the Chileans have taken over the Business
Administration Courses.
