VOLSKY - came to the attention.of JMWAVE because of his extra-curricular activities which appear to be incompatible with his position as an employee of the U.S.-Government. A conflict of interests appears to have developed in VOLSKY's case as a result of his position in the USIA office in Miami, his access to various high-level Cuban refu ees, his close association with prominent American journalists (Cone of. fj ‘Whom had an entree to high members of the Kennedy Administration ,it , ‘and bis involvement in propaganda activities for both the JURE and 5%” sed * the counterrevolutionar roups. Analysis shows that he has use hfs USTA position to obtain information for a leftist political group, has engaged in anti-US propaganda campaigns for it, and may _.be guilty of duplicity in his dealings with KUBARK. VOLSKY is a ' Cuban citizen of Polish origin whose background includes a two or ee period us m Because of this back- ground and the nature of his present political activities, the > following compilation and analysis of the material currently avail-— able to JMWAVE concerning VOLSKY are deemed necessary and are hereby presented as .a prerequisite to the determination of the future course of action to be taken by KUBARK in this case. 2. Original JMWAVE Operational Interest in Subject a. Jorge VOLSKY first became of interest to KUBARK in . Eebruary 2263 when it was learned that he was the source of an anti-CASTRO plan known as Operational Leonardo designed to sp e Cuban Regime by the recruitment of certain elements of the Rebel Army and . Militia in the GOC. lan had been presented to ODACID through Tad SZULC, editorial writer of the New York Times Washington Office, and ODACID sent it for action to KUBARK Headquarters. b. The disclosure of Jorge VOLSKY as the originator of Operation Leonardo came about when a KUBARK case officer contacted SZULC at his home in Washington concerning the plan. SZULC was reluctant at first to reveal the name of the author but did so when the case officer pointed out that it was necessary for KUBARK to talk to the source in order to clear up various points. SZULC, stating that he would rely on KUBARK's discretion to safeguard the identity of his “source, named Jorge VOLSKY of the USIA in Miami. SZULC related a «Short biographic sketch of VOLSKY in which it was revealed that _ during World War II, VOLSKY, a Pole, had been a prisoner of war in Russia. c. At Headquarters' request JMWAVE contacted Jorge VOLSKY and made arrangements to sponsor his plan which involved Cuban infil- tration/exfiltration ops. It was the intention of KUBARK to use VOLSKY only as a funding channel for the operation; however, because of the Station's belief that the ‘operation's team would inform VOLSKY in detail about operational matters, a POA was requested on ' him. A request was also made that Headquarters check on VOLSKY's activities prior to his arrival. in Cuba. -Locally the AMOTs were requested to provide information on Subject's activities in Cuba. 3.

In his PRQ Part I Subject lists his full name as Jorge Stakistaw Ajbuszyc VOLSKY Kraisler, born 8 March 1921 in Warsaw, Poland. He lists his parents as Josef A. VOLSKY Zascycki, an ‘engineer, and Maria KRAISLER Madeirka, a medical doctor, both b. (Education) VOLSKY's PRQ states that his education consists of high school attended in Krakow from 1930 to 1938 and one year of medical school at a University in Krakow. - . (1) USIA. records (information supplied by Subject) agree with the above, showing that he attended the St. Anna Lyceum in . Krakow from 1930 to 1938 and the Jagiellon University in Krakow from 1938 to 1939. , _ °° (2) The Headquarters trace reply which included a-London Station check of the Royal Air Force and Polish exile World War II ‘records, however, did not mention his attendance at the Jagiellon. University, stating only that Subject matriculated in 1939 in the | 8t. Staszic Humanistic College in Chrzanow. (WAVE comment: Chrzanow is West Krakow, 27 miles WNW of Krakow.) @, «World War “II Service (1). ing the years .1939_. 91947 he din Rays ° Serial number 705740, rank: Officer ~ Cadet, Private Flight Sergeant. In a different section of the PRQ he also states that he was a of .war_in Russia (1939 to 1941). This is an obvious contradiction within the PRQ itself that requires clarification. ‘VOLSKY claims in his PRQ that dur fi = meee can eae aa oe © ; (2) The RAF and Polish exile check (Reference A) mentioned above confirmed service in the Royal Air Force for a person with the name of Jerzy Stanislaw AJBUSZYC (the first three names of Subject) DOB: 8 March 1921, Serial number 705740 with rank: Leading Air- craftman Radio Telephone Operator. This record which is obviously that of Subject showed that on 19 June 1942, while in the USSR, he enrolled in the Polish Army Service where he served for one year until 30 June 1943 and then enlisted in the Polish Air Force Service - under the British Operational Command on 1 July 1943 and served until 27 July 1947 when he was discharged at his own request’ and emigrated to Ecuador. The Polish exile representative further noted in Reference A that in 1942 the Soviets had attempted to subvert some of the young Poles who were recruited at that time in the USSR’ for -Polish Army Service and that such might have been’ the case with , Subject... mS (3) (JMWAVE Analysis) It is interesting to note that Subject's PRQ and USIA records which stated he was in the RAF from 1939 to'1947 do not agree with his official RAF records which show that he did not enroll in. the RAF until 1 July 1943. The RAF records also show that he had enrolled one year earlier (19 June 1942) in the Polish Army Service in the USSR and served in it for a full year before joining the RAF. However, even allowing the year 1942 as his service induction date into the RAF, there is a discrepancy in what . he reports in his PRQ (1939) and what the RAF record shows (1942). It is possible that he has. falsely reported the date of his induction into the RAF in his PRQ in order to cover up his activities during that period (1939-1942). This was a period of time when great numbers ' of Polish prisoners ‘of war were shot by the Soviets. It is at Subject may have been subjected to RIS recruitment attempts _ g@uring this period. d. (Name Change) In the referenced RAF and Polish exile check, it was noted that the Polish exile liaison representative, while Searching: the record for a Jorge VOLSKY, had found a record for one ~ SECRET

(2). In analyzing the above interpretation by Headquarters, | _. JMWAVE felt that if the RAF were. to Shorten Subject's name on their records for brevity's Sake, they would have been more likely to omit a Second or third: name rather than his family name of VOLSKY. An investi gation was initiated by JMWAVE in March 1964 to. attempt to clear up the existing\c nfusion concerning Subject's identity, AMBLEAK-1, a persona ‘friend ofSubject, on instructions of his case officer contacted a Mrs, Aurora de\¥QUESADA Miranda, a very close friend,of the family of Subjec ‘wife, Merce eS ROVIRA Bertran.. Mrs. QUESAD, resident of the Hotel Terrace Park in Miami, is the wife of Davidi*MASNATA Azcue, former official of the Ministry of State of the public of Cuba, and had the ' following pertinent information -to offer:. - . (a) During the Second World War at a session of the Havana Rotary Club it was decided to ask members of the Club who had Single daughters to act as. pen pals for officers. fighting with the Allied ; armies in Europe. Mr. Jose ROVIRA presented the names of his three cod Single daughters, Only one of these daughters maintained this corre- wd . spondence (with two officers), one of whom was Subject, a pilot aviator in the RAF, i . .(b) According to Mrs. QUESADA, Subject's father died in the Second World War and Jorge had joined the RAF, She stated that as far as she could remember, VOLSKY was born in Warsaw, Poland and that a the name VOLSKY was that of his mother or of a grandmother and that . his true name began with "A" and continued, she believed, with a "w" : and a "z", then in London, 4 (c) At the end of World War II, VOLSKY, 4 LS.pen pa Senorita Mercedes RO 2) SVs Ae re raved, As it was not possible for VOLSKY to obtain a visa for Cuba, he obtainec one for Ecuador and arranged to stop over in Cuba in transit, e ~ * .-— (d)..Upon VOLSKY's arrival in Cuba, Source's husband, Mr. David MASNATA; by virtue of his connection in the Cuban Ministry of State, was able to arrange permission for VOLSKY to remain in Cuba, ‘Within a year of his residence in Cuba, he married Miss ROVIRA and because of the fact that his name was virtually unpronounceable, he > decided to adopt the name of VOLSKY legally, stating that this was the name of his mother or o a grandmother, e. Station JMWAVE analysis of Subject's background prior to his arrival in Cuba is inconclusive. The following points, however, are worthy of further investigation: (1) The fact that the was _o l i- ssumed by Subject does not totally clear him of suspicion in this respect. It becomes evident that VOLSKY fabricated a.name for his ‘father, that of Josef A, VOLSKY, which would fit his own new name, If it is assumed that VOLSKY is not the real hame of Subject's father, three possible solutions to this puzzle emerge: oe ; (a) VOLSKY is the name of a grandmother as Subject claims and Subject attributed it to his father to avoid lengthy explanations ‘on forms, - mo
14-00000 od ; _(b). Subjact, AJBUSZYC, took the name of VOLSKY from the .dead pilot. for personal reasons, ~° ae ‘| a So Oe (c)- Subject is ‘a communist agent who assumed one or both of the subject names either in an effort to erase a derogatory back- ground or, more likely, to assume a new identity and attempt to con- ‘fuse the issue. - (2) Still in connection with Subject's true name, VOLSKY deliberately withheld information when he made out his PRQ for . JMWAVE in March 1963. The PRQ specifically calls for "name at birth if different from Item 1" (Item I being Subject's full name). VOLSKY marked the item as not applicable. . (3). The slight discrepancy in education listed in paragraph 3 b should be checked: into. Bo , we a) i (4) On 8 February 1963 Hefdquarters reported Jorge VOLSKY as ned probably identical with: one Joseph¥sSKULICZ "although this still questionable", (DIR 16243 dated 8 bruary 1963). There are no ‘Station traces on SKULICZ and further mention of this tentative identification was never made by Headquarters. (5) Still to be explained by VOLSKY are the circumstances surrounding. his imprisonment in Russia and his joining the Polish ' ‘Army Service there at a time when Soviet intelligence was attempting to subvert those recruits, 4, Background in Cuba Prior to U.S. a. Family - ' (1) VOLSKY reports in his PRQ that on 7 August 1948 in . Havana he married his present wife, Mercedes ROVIRA Bertran. Immigration and Naturalization Service (I&NS) in Miami has a copy of — this marriage certificate on file which confirms the marriage date given above d gives the following. information: _¢ The full name of VOLSKY's wife is Mercedes Antonia Juan OVIRA Bertran, daughter of Jose ROVIRA and Mercedes BERTRAN, natives of Spain. _(b) VOLSKY is listed as Jorge Ajbuszyc VOLSKY, son of Jose and Maria, natives of Poland. — | (c) From 1937 to 1938 Mercedes was listed as a student in Santiago de Cuba and from 1938 to 1961 as a housewife in Havana: . ‘(2) -The fact’ that Mercedes ROVIRA says she was a housewife ‘in Havana from 1938 to 1961 does not coincide with the story told above to the effect that during the war years she was the Single daughter of Jose ROVIRA in Santiago de Cuba, engaged to Jorge VOLSKY. It is possible that she mistakenly put the year 1938 instead of 1948 on her record. However, that leaves ten years of her life unaccounted for in the Immigration records. b. Business | = (1) Jorge VOLSKY reported in his PRQ that he directed and owned his own business in Cuba from November 1947 to May 1961 when ..he left for the United States. This business, whichhe described as a publicity office was named Dekora Studio S.A., P. Gomez 283, Habana, ‘and was subsequently confiscated by the CASTRO Government. VOLSKY also told AMLAME-1 that in addition to his publicity business in Cuba, _ he had rendered services to the Information Service of the United States Embassy in Habana. The following reports on VOLSKY's business . were obtained: (a) AMOT-119 described VOLSKY's business, DEKORA, as a ~ SECRET
eres ED SECRET | publicity business which engaged mainly in the production and decoration.of floats for carnivals. ‘He stated that the ROVIRA family helped him financially to set-up this business, “ . °(b) Mrs, QUESADA reported that the ROVIRA family was very wealthy as they were the proprietors in Cuba of the CASTILLO RUM ‘and CINEMA REX enterprises, among others, and that Mr. ROVIRA put VOLSKY to work in a. decorating firm which he owned, -- €e) Aureliano MMSBRETON, formerly in the advertising . billboard business in Cuba, reports that when Studio Dekora was nationalized VOLSKY was working on a large advertising plan for Central America ordered by the Coca Cola bottling plant in Cuba. i . I Pye - + (1). VOLSKY traveled frequently while in Cuba and amassed an rs ,extremely large-number of influential contacts. He was a member of al the Havana Biltmore Yacht and Country Club and predominately mingled with the upper class professional industrialists and ~ particularly cultivated the friendship of American journalists, JS a a c., Contacts'and Travel - — (2) ‘According. to his PRQ, VOLSKY traveled to Europe in 1957 on a pleasure trip at his Own expense and also had traveled to the United States many times during the years he lived in Cuba. He also ' listed frequent travel to Jamaica. “| 1d, Politics . -  ' ' ‘€1) During the period before his business was nationalized, _ VOLSKY is described as a socialist, who had publicly said that the . future of the world is socialistic. s diy pro-CASTRO and in had often denounced the United States for putting up with the BATISTA _—_ Government in Cuba which was riddled with graft, (AMOT-119 Report AA-774/17, September 1962). (2) According to Tad SZULC, see Paragraph 5 below, VOLSKY became disenchanted with the Regime when his business was intervened. and he spent the latter part of 1959 and most of 1960 actively supporting anti-CASTRO activities. SZULC amplified this remark by stating he knew of instances of VOLSKY's transporting explosives and hand and shoulder weapons in his private car. (3) VOLSKY was arrested and imprisoned in La Cab 6 uring the Invasion roundup, an event he has made much of ever since and has used to establish counterrevolutionary bona fides. “AMBLEAK-1, who was imprisoned during the same period, ° Stated-that VOLSKY was held for a short time, a matter of weeks, and probably had been included in this roundup because he was a known “MRP. member, foreigner, or member. of the middle class. According: to -Tad SZULC,. VOLSKY was able to leave Cuba shortly thereafter as he had a valid U.S. visa in his passport. OLSKY arrived Lami 22 May 1961. 5. JMWAVE Knowledge of VOLSKY Relationship with Tad SZULC a. On 17 September 1962 AMOT~119 presented a report to KUBARK which contained information to the effect that VOLSKY had influence . Witb certain elements of the American press, especially the New York Times and the Washington Post, This anfiuence was derived from Subject ptivation in Cuba of American journalists. 1 ticular Tad/ *SZULC currently employed as a correspondent for the Washington. ‘Bureau of the New York Times. A close relationship exists between SZULC_in.Washington and VOLSKY in Miami and they are in touch ' periodically by bo eLlepnone and personal Visits. isa - ' source of.information for SZULC and evidently influences his thinking as is manifested by the transfer of VOLSKY's political philosophy ‘into the principal thesis of a book on Cuba written by SZULC: namely - that Cuba -should not be attacked by the United States and that the Cuban problem can be solved internally. This book entitled, The SECRET
14-00000 . . . soa or o i Cuban Invasion ~=- The Chronicle of a Disaster is particularly criti of KUBARK, not limiting itselY to a discussion of its failure at Pla _ Giron, but dealing in detail with many other aspects of KUBARK, - be. AS mentioned in paragraph 2,a,, Tad SZULC: presented to ODACI an operational plan based on VOLSKY's ideas which was subsequently turned over ‘to. KUBARK,. SZULC was contacted by KUBARK on 6 February 1963 concerning this plan and gave the following information concern the background of his relationship with VOLSKY, whom he reported as author, (1) VOLSKY has-been a friend of his for the past three year and he (SZULC) considers him‘ one. of the most informed exiles on Cuba: internal affairs and stated that he was, in fact, his contact for mo: Of ‘his. important ‘information emanating from inside Cuba. He referred VOLSKY as "our man in Havana" even though he was living in Miami, a (2) SZULC reported that VOLSKY, by virtue of his advertisin; ‘business, had traveled extensively throughout the provinces:of Cuba _and.had made many friends before said business. was intervened. He h: been able to keep these internal contacts and passes on information obtained from them to SZULC, Among the ‘most important of his contac’ ‘ds AMSTRUT-~2;.a lifelong friend of VOLSKY's sister-in-law (unidentif: who furnishes what SZULC considers vital information by means of this friendship to VOLSKY. c. In August 1962 SZULC had arranged an interview in Washington for. VOLSKY with Richard N. GOODWIN, advisor to former President REN nn eeeneneeeneceeneeensloenecaicatmanidtesatstnansanstentnoat sash neta ie d. In late October 1962 AMBLEAK-1 had reported that VOLSKY calle upon him to assist him in rounding up recently arrived refugees who had. seen Soviet missiles and troops in Cuba. It was VOLSKY's purpose to have AMBLEAK-1 serve as interpreter for interviews of the refugees by correspondent Tad SZULC, - e. Tad SZULC reported that he had a Standing invitation extended i 9 Q_contact directly President Kenne: ice Presi Johnson, or McGeorge Bundy at any time on Cuban matters, His Opinion obviously carried Weight with the Administration and there ore, his | backing of VOLSKY's prenito the point where he sat in on ODACID/KUBA meetings concerning i was propably the primary reason it was adopte SO- quickly. Thus, VOLSKY and SZULC maintained a mutually profitable —FeTETISHSHip, VOLSKY by providing SZULC with up-to-date information obtained through his USIA position and through his contacts in the ex community, and, SZULC, by exerting pressure on KUBARK by means of his "in" with the former Administration and his hewSpaper audience to pro: VOLSKY's ideas, a e -f£. As SZULC could exert his influence and indirectly pressure KU ‘into adopting dn operation, so could he apply pressure through his me: -to run certain details pertaining to it, The following example shows the position KUBARK was maneuvered into by these influences, One of the principals of the Subject operation, AMICE-27, whom KUBARK wished to remove from said operation because of his indiscretion and inabili- to accept control, but who was an informant on all aspects of the ope) ation for VOLSKY and SZULC, had to be handled with kid gloves and offered a juicy alternative position in an effort to appease him as it was felt that he would take his case to SZULC, The time picked by KUE _to disengage AMICE-27 was one when SZULC was on an extended Latin Ame: trip. AMICE-27 refused the substitute position, delivered an ultimatc which was not accepted by KUBARK, and, aS expected, was reported by a teammate to be threatening to take his case to the highest authority ‘through the VOLSKY/SZULC channel,. It was JMWAVE's feeling that AMICE- understood power and politics to the extent that once he became aware that SZULC would not be available for immediate consultation, he would be willing to reopen his discussions concerning an alternative positio for himself with KUBARK, This he did Subsequently. The next Step taken by JMWAVE to ease this situation was to attempt to assuage VOLSK . Who was cold and uncommunicative at first, obviously upset over the dismissal of AMICE-~27 and, at the same time, temporarily cut off from his. powerful Washington channel, However, this treatment released the ‘SECRET
a pressure, diverted a case which might otherwise have been presented to SZULC, and obviated a situation which might otherwise have been diffi- cult and embarrassing for KUBARK, . ge VOLS and SZULC were in ver trequent contact with each other ' during the JMWAVE sponsorship of the VOLSKY lan., This fact was ascertained through VOLSKY's comments to a JMWAVE case officer in which he often referred to recent activities of SZULC and through the reactions. of SZULC and VOLSKY when any decisions concerning the opera~ tion made by Headquarters or JMWAVE were relayed to one member of this partnership without the knowledge of the other. Decisions concerning the operation handed out by Headquarters and JMWAVE ‘had to be given Simultaneously to SZULC and VOLSKY in order—te—aveid-misunderstandings- -- which would arise when one would immediately inform the other of same, ‘h. It is mere speculation to guess whether there is more to this relationship than that mentioned in paragraph 6.e, above, It is -interesting to note, however, that on 6 January 1964 in a conversation between AMICE-14 and a’ JMWAVE case officer concerning language abilities. AMICE-14 remarked that VOLSKY and SZULC always Speak together i ish. When asked if they conversed in Polish so that no one would be able to understand then, AMICE~-14-replied that he thought it was just to practic: ‘the language,. This fact does not agree with VOLSKY's earlier statement 2 os MWA nat he eferred n O.. Sneak in. Po a because he had not used the language for a long time, It seems strange that VOLSKY ‘would refuse to speak his hative tongue with COS unless he were. afraid that his accent or pronunciation would disclose some element of his background which he did not wish so disclosed, ‘i. On 20 February 1964, Chief of Station, JMWAVE, had luncheon with Conrad MANLEY, Chief of the Miami Office of USIA, During this luncheon, in a. discussion of VOLSKY, MANLEY stated that he was aware that VOLSKY was the unofficial Stringer for SZULC of the Times and that his superior in Washington had recently brought this relationship to his attention, asking MANLEY to discourage it, The reason for this was that several newspaper personnel in the Washington area had com- Plained to USIA about the preferential treatment afforded SZULC by his relationship with VOLSKY. j. The most recent information indicating that the SZULC/VOLSKY relationship continues is a letter written on 23 February by Theodore DRAPER, well known author and political analyst, to Miss Phyllis FREEMAN of the Frederick A. Praeger Publishing Company, (Reference B). In this letter. DRAPER recommends that VOLSKY be chosen as the author of a book to be written on Cuba and set up an appointment for him. to meet FREEMAN while he was in New York. Reference B also includes a memorandum in which FREEMAN reported that VOLSKY was highly recommended for this “job by both Theodore ,DRAPER and Tad SZULC who rely on him for much of their day to day information on Cuba, She stated that VOLS "is now a “'stringer' for the Washi n_ bureau of The Time whi is evident] a special SZULC-engineered deal", AMCARBON-1 reported on 24 May 1964 -“that VOLSRY receives $100 a week for his work as a stringer. In regard to VOLSKY's forthcoming book, he has mentioned to AMBLEAK-1 that he expects to have it published in September 1964 under the title of Cuba Today. (Note: In reference B, Phyllis FREEMAN has indicated that claims that he was educated in England and that he had gone to Cuba in 1945, a decidedly different version of his background, ) 6.

VOLSKY's use of USIA for JURE Purposes ~ The following incide related here in chronological order, are reported to substantiate JMW claims that VOLSKY has used his USIA position for JURE political obje and in fact might be the power which directly or indirectly determine these objectives. oo, - (1) (General) Among VOLSKY's Cuban contacts is Raul /*CHIBAS ivas..,201-248160, a member of the executive committee of JURE, liste aS Manolo RAY's right-hand man. This contact originated.through the close friendship of VOLSKY's wife with the divorced wife of CHIBAS ‘an. aS a result, VOLSKY -became closely connected with Manolo's group. Ac. cording to JMWAVE. traces, CHIBAS, the former director of the Havana Military Academy and i f£ Fid AS defect wi 1960, He gave a three hour interview to Tad SZULC in Havana who reported him completely disillusioned with the Cuban Regime.

(2) JURE Infiltration of KUBARK .(ay When VOLSKY was first in contact with JMWAVE concern: "the details of his Operation, March 1963, he made a particular point c mentioning: that he personally was convinced that none of the operatior team participants’ was presently controlled by any political group. Ai ‘the same time, he was aware that AMICE~27 was closely connected with “ and was reporting to him (VOLSKY). Also at that time he himself was frequently being visited in his USIA office by Rogelio CISNEROS Diaz, member of-the executive board of JURE, (b) AMTAUP-2 reported on 30 April 1963 that CISNEROS, at '@ meeting -held in his home, said that Manolo RAY Rivero, National Chie oma SECRET

Be (e) AMICE-27 (VOLSKY informant) on 16 September 1963 at a meeting with a JMWAVE case officer, reported the names of three individuals whom he felt he could recruit for KUBARK. Among those names was that of Raul CHIBAS whom A-27 tried inconspicuously to Slip in, making it a point to mention the other names first, The case off felt that. this was another VOLSKY inspired attempt to infiltrate a JU man into KUBARK, (3) JURE Propaganda Program (VOLSKY, by virtue of his positi in the USIA is not allowed to belong to a political organization. Ho ever, he is .a member of the executive board of JURE and in charge of orienting all JURE propaganda in the U.

LESNICK Menendez, editor of REPLICA hewspaper, that JURE pays for REPLICA's printing and that LESNICK immediately gives a copy to Jorge VOLSKY as sooh as it is published, (JMWAVE traces on LESNICK, 201-209258, show that like VOLSKY, he is a_Cuban citizen of Polish ori in, He has a -background that includes association with communist Stenents and at~- tendance at PSP and Ortodoxo leadership meetings. The purpose of the newspaper, REPLICA, is to counter pro-BATISTA propaganda in the Cuban exile community.) LESNICK told AMTAUP-2 that the Americans are degen- erate because they give. money to homosexuals such as AMCORE-2 and — ‘refuse to help him (LESNICK) and that he would take his case to Harvey -SUMM, Department of State Representative in Miami, (g) Un U 3G rve mo LIV On ' "Cuba Despierta", taped in Miami and broadcast daily from the Dominican Republic. Mr. SUMM stated that both he and USIA thought that LESNICK had a worthwhile radio program and asked COS if he could insure that LESNICK receive the necessary funds to stay on the. air. COS informed Mr. SUMM that JMWAVE had access to a number of radio outlets and if-he or USIA had a propaganda theme or basic message they wanted delivered to the Cuban people, KUBARK would be glad to accommodate them if this material were in keeping with the broad policy concepts under which JMWAVE was currently operating. Mr. SUMM stated he was not interested in themes or programs, he was merely ‘interested in finding a sponsor for LESNICK and He indicated that he intended to. check further on the matter to determine why KUBARK would not fund LESNICK. ; (h) On 4 February 1964 the newspaper PATRIA ran an attack on George VOLSKY whom it identified as George BOSQUE (phonetic), an official of USIA in Miami who at the same time was a member of the JURE executive. It stated that the "little Polack of Cuba Si Yankee No" (meaning LESNICK) received guidance from BOSQUE each week and then ‘took pains to make it.appear that Mr. MANLEY rather than BOSQUE had received hin. REPLICA. struck back at PATRIA in an article which appeared 15 ‘February 1964 Saying that they did not receive instructions from USIA ‘although they did solicit material against CASTRO and communism there, The article further berated PATRIA for revealing the names of. the - director! of the USIA office (MANLEY) and the Cuban employee who still. has relatives in Cuba (BOSQUE)! (i) On 8 January 1964 Esteban #.amELas Maura, a newspaperma in USIA, reported to AMTAUP-~2 that VOLSKY urgently requested that LAMELA take a poll among the arriving Cuban refugees to determine what they _ think of JURE so that he, in turn, could report the results to Manolo RAY in order to determine whether JURE's propaganda policy should be changed, LAMELAS said that his USIA contract forbade him from becoming involved in such a poll; he informed A~2 that this was not the first ‘time VOLSKY had used USIA for JURE propaganda, oo (j) Oo anuary 1964 AMTAUP-2 reported that JURE had ~ finished the preparation of necessary plans to send youths to all Latin merican universities to lecture concerning @ Jl «

A-1 stated that the lengthy intervention by CISNEROS was embarrasSing to the other Cubans but they refrained from interrupting in order to show solidarity in front of the visitors, A-1l stated tha the presence of AMICE-27 and two USIA members led him to believe that USIA was responsible for the guest list and that therefore Jorge VOLS picked the "so called Cuban leaders that attended the meeting", (4) JURE Operations - -(a) On 13 July 1963 CISNEROS approached Esteban LAMELAS Maura and requested information from and concerning Cuba in order to facilitate the infiltration of JURE members.into Cuba, When LAMELAS refused to give that type of information, CISNEROS said he would see VOLSKY and get it from him, 7 were interested in receiving training and returning to Cuba to fight CASTRO? - AGUIAR: Fernandez told A-2 that VOLSKY spotted refugees for leads and submitted reports on them to JURE.

He said that the UR was starting a new dail radio program over a New York radio Station, lasting twenty minutes a day, and, that-it will -be. specifically tailored to attempt to increas the will to resist within Cuba and particularly attempt to reach the higher military echelons. VOLSKY said he had originally written all ' the VOA breadcasts’ for over a year after he came to Miami and that he therefore. could greatly assist the UR‘ with their new program, Asked whether the UR had anybody to write the program or whether he would actually write it himself, VOLSKY said that the UR has one good man b that he himself expected to have a major hand in editing the program, He said that because of this he waS Spending a great deal of time at Headquarters, . — e. (JMWAVE Analysis) VOLSKY is in contact with a large segment « the influential members of the exile community, This is the conse que) of his USIA position which affords him the opportunity to make these | tacts to solicit information for propaganda purposes, AMING~2 report: ‘that VOLSKY is on a first name basis with many of the leaders of coun: revolutionary groups whom he frequently phones or sees in his office, (AMING~2 does not trust VOLSKY and thinks that he might be a foreign agent although he has no facts upon which to base his opinion.) VOLS! main exile community contacts are members of JURE as described in. par: graph 6.c., he himself being responsible for all JURE propaganda, By his own admission, he is now close to the top echelon of the UR, resp Sible for the direction of a UR radio propaganda program, As seen frc ' the foregoing, | VOLSKY has maneuvered himself into a remarkably ad = tageous and sf aeeeas position regarding U.
