ODACID Cable WIRON 200, October 1957
Subject is Max LESNICK y Menendez, non-immigrant visa applicant born 8
September 1930 in Vueltas, Las Villas, Cuba. Profession, salesman.
President of Juventud Ortodoxa and Orthodoxo party leader in opposition
to BATISTA. He is currently in hiding from police until the heat is
off. In 1954, he signed the Comite Cubano declaration in favor of
Guatemala. e was referred to as a Communist sympathizer through
collaboration between Ortodoxos and Communists and friendship well-
known Cuban Communists possibly embracing Section 212 (a) (27) and (26).
Security checks show no indications of collaboration with Communists.
Latter at times tried to get on the bandwagon of all opposition groups
including the Ortodoxo. Specific information from Cuban Government
sources regarding Ortodoxo-Communist pacts were later, admitted to the
local CAS as fabrications. LESNICK states that he signed the Pro-
Guate ala declaration against big foreign business domination of Latin
American affairs as did many other Cubans. He states that he is only
acquainted with student Communist leaders at the University of Habana.
He denies that he collaborated with the Communists during the past or
resent and brings published articles dating back to 1950 which indicate
This anti-Communist stand. His name appears in the Soundex for
questioning.
The local CAS is especially interested in the case. A favorable
decision is recommended by the visa officers.
LESNICK plans attend Inter-American Press Association meeting to be

Rafael GARCIA Bárcena said that recently he had been in conference with
Robert GRAMONTB, leader of one of the three factions of the Partido-del
Pueblo Cubano (Ortodoxo) and that he had been asked to try to bring togethe
the three factions of the rtodoxo Partys the groups of AGACYS; NO OCHOA,
and Carlos PARQUEZ Sterling.

Ortodoxo candidate for President of Cuba in the 1958 elections. He said that

Sterling leads only a mall segment of the party. He said that the rtodoxo Youth
sill not present a difficult problem within the party once they can be convinced
that the way to power is not t through viclence but through participation in the 1958-
elections. The Youth are strong enough to veto a presidential candidate but
probably will not take a leading part in selecting one. He did not foel that
MESNICK or Francisco had a great deal of influence song the Youth at

咁
GARCIA Baroona feels that the Ortodoxo Party has only about a 25 per cent chance
of winning a Presidential election -- not because it could not command enough
votes, but because the current regime of terrorism would not dare permit an
opposition party to come into power. They have gone too far on the road to
government by assassination, imprisonment, and robbery to give up their power,
he said. Nevertheless, in his opinion there is no alternative to an election.
He feels that, even if the Ortodoxos cannot alect a President, they may elect a
mumber of Senators and Representatives in Congress. He will propose that
Reman BARQUIN be run as a candidate for the Senate even if BARQUIN is still in
prison at the time of the elections. He did not believe that there were any
legal obstacles:
Regarding de CASTRO Rus, he said that CASTRO was an impetuous and
even
an irresponsible leader, but one who could not be ignored in, any new coroPED BY
because to the youth of the country he represents an ideal and for this reason no
otable government could to fomed without a. He hald he differed with CASTRO on
the matter of military principles. He does not believe that CASTRO will be able
to attract my significant defections or support from the Army. He said that CASTRO
originally believed that, if he could only establish a beachhead in Oriente, shou
strength in that area, while at the same time show-the Army that he had supporte.s
in Habana by agitating here, he would be able to find support in the Army itself,
particularly in Camp Columbia. This was CASTRO's big mistake, according to
OARCIA Bárcena. Since CASTRO cannot take Camp Columbia, he is isolated. GARCIA
Barcena did not believe that CASTRO was ultra-nationalistio but that apparently
some of his followers were from the tons of some of the propaganda of the 26th
July Movement. GARCIA Bárcena, because of his previous influence among Cuban
youth, apparently socs himself as the person to offeet or balance the impulsiveness
of CASTRO if his group ever comes to power.
Meld Comments
Rafaci GARCIA Bárcena was one of the founders of the Partido del Pueblo Cubano
(Ortodoxo) but separated from it because of differences of opinion with the
leaders Roberto AGRAMUNTS and José ADO Llads. He had been a University
professor and instructor of military psychology at the Cabaña Fortress and at
one time had considerable following anong Cuban youth and many friends in the
Cuban Army. In Aril 1953 he was sentenced to three years' imprisonment for
conspiracy against the BATISTA Government but was released by amnesty in June 1954.
Since then he has refrained from revolutionary activities and has been occupied
with writing mildly anti-Goverment articles for various publications_and_
maintaining contact with the principal leaders of the opposition parties. In a
forthcoming article to appear in Bohemia, he will exhort the youth of Cuba 'to give
up their violent revolutionary activities and to weak power through elections in
1958.

No additional information concerning

that goverment is contained in HXH-678.
Reports received in the past concerning the Caribbean Legions attempts.
lfst BATISTA a support for Legion revolutionary activities have been
given a low evaluation (as to content), as indicated in the pertinent
portions of HKH-467 and HKH-397. To date the Nission has received no
information which would warrant changing sich an evaluation.
3. Indications here are that the Batists regine is too preoccupied with a
possible revolt attempt originating within the country to perdt planning
for any offensive action against any other country in the Caribbem.
Recent friendly overtures by BATISTA, in the form of decorations bestowed
on Hector TRUJILLO of the Dominican Republic and PEREZ Jimenes of Venesuela,
also serve to indicate that the present Cuban goverment is not contemplating
any action against those countries.
As to a possible attack on the Batista regine from outside Cuba, the Cuban
Armed Forces and security agencies have long been alerted to a possible
air attack on key installations in Habana as well as multiple assmilts fro
the sea. Mexico, Costa Rica, and Guatemala have been mentioned as possibla
take-off points for the planes to be used in the air attack.

The fact that the Communist Party of Cuba would take the measures described in the
tacked report is not considered curprising. In bocin from a study of Embassy de
patches and from our past roports on this subject, the FSP is finding itself in an increc
ingly were position, polifically, financially, and psychologically. The greatest strength
of the Far comes from mbent Inborers who are, by US standards, at least, amploited.
This Woyol-la-6ft. It is
only logical, therefore, that communist strength remains, at present, in the fiold whoro
xist ideology has always torn used to the best advantage, that of the morant worke±8.
It is probably that the PCR, as a politionl party, will no longer carry the weight and res
poot it has in the past, at least until economio conditions in Cuba grow much worse, or
until the present nat-lost tension dininiches considerably. Until recently, two possible.
solutions to the PCP's present pronicament lay in its uniting with the Credoro Party or
with the PAJ. Coming the Ort Party it is known that the leftist groups within
that party (Vicenting, SLADA, lk, and others) are nilitating for a

eldent in Cuba stated with conviction that BATISTA-would join with the communists in a
selfish attempt to gain the Presidency. However, BATISTA, in two articles appearing in
Reber 3 and 13, 1951, closed the door on more of this kind by stating tho

high command maintains continued interest to a very large degree
in the Juventud Socialista organization, One of the principal.
tasks of the communist party is to maintain the direction of
a strong comunist youth novelient which will respond only to
the ideological foundation of the communist party. In the PSP:
the most insistent voice of this conunist principle is that
of BLAS ROCK who takes a personal interest in the direction
of the Juventud Socialista and constantly watches over its
activities through trusted lieutenants. Many of the present
leaders of the PSP were formerly leaders of the Juventud Com-
nista, the former Juventude socialista. Men of this type are
SeverofAGUERRE SUAREZ, and Osvaldo PalcEZ, prominent
PSP member in Canagley Province. On its om part tho Juventud
Socialista maintains a close liaison with the National Executive
Committee of the PSP through its leader, Flavio PRAVO, Tho
attends the weekly meetings of the National Committee.
The callber of the Juventud Socialista direction is high.
Its leaders are militant communists and many members of the

Thie structure of the Juventud Socialista is like that of the
PSP. It has committees in all the districts (barrios) of the
City of Habana and in the larger cities of the interior. Up
until now the Juventud Socialista has not had, according to
source, clandestine leaders to take the place of the present
overt leaders in case the party is routlawed, nor does it now
have these clandestine leaters. However, source feels that
there are many secondary and less well-krom leaders within
the Juventud. Socialista who would be able to assume the direc
tion of a clandestine comunist outh organization if the
PSP decided such an organizatio should be set up. Source

Habana Province.
The PRIO Administrative's anti-communist attitude over the

of the Juventus Socialista, according to source. Source gives
as a reason for this the fact that the ranks of the Juventud
Socialista are composed of proven con:unist militant youths.

methods by which they tried to attract new members for the...
Juventud Socialista were made up of sewing clubs for girls,
English classes, parlor canes, and, from time to time, dances.
This method had good results as far as getting the youth to
draw closer to the Juventud Socialista; however; racial feel-
ing militated against the complete success of this method.
for any ite girls found that they were expected to nix
and dance with negroes, which was against their personal con-
victions. As a result of this racial prejudice, the majority
of netro girls among the Juventud Socialista ranks is noticeable.
The PoP has no hanaged to purify the ranks of the Juventud
Socialista in preparation for a harder life ahead. The former
sewing circles, paflor canes, and dances have disappeared and
in their lace entertainment less conducive to stirring up
racial prejudice, such as excursions into the country, etc.,
are taking place. "Today, the Juventud Socialista rants
can more or less be counted upon to act in a united fashion
for the good of PSP and to follow the orders of their
leaders.
Although there are no official figures on the membership of
the Juventud Socialista, source uses as a yardstick the fact
the Juventud iso evo stated that there were more.

than 15,000 socialist youths in the nation and that of these
more than 10,000 were in the City of Habana. Sourse believes
that there is probably an overlay between a member of the
Juventud Socialista who is of voting age and also affiliates
with the PSP dering elections. Taling into account this
duplication of membership, source believes that the 15,000.

spend its energy on the following assignments:
