SIRAB No. 150~ . . Fustgust 1959 WESTERN HEMISPHERE 7, Opposition to Fidel Castro Regime Growing \ CAF IN 70482 Information received from various 31 July 1959 independent sources in Cuba during AFCIN-2A5 . the past several days indicates the. SECGRETNOEORN existence of an active conspiracy which hopes to overthrow the Cuban regime in the near future. The con- spiracy is. said to include the assassination of Prime Minister Fidel Castro and his brother Raul, the revolt of a portion of the Cuban Armed Forces, and a coordinated invasion of armed forces from the Dominican Republic. . According to the report, the key factor in the current con- spiracy is Major William Alexander Morgan, an American soldier of fortune who fought against the Batista regime during the recent revolution. Morgan has reportedly agreed to defect, taking with him 4,000 members of the Armed Forces, who are mainly former a members of the second’ national front of Esacambray. Further- . . more, Morgan reportedly claimed that a number of officers of the Cuban Army, including a few of major rank, are with him in the conspiracy. . f ACS/I Comment: While it is i / possible that an n attempt to overthrow the Castro government by armed force will be tried soon, it seems almost certain that it would © fail. If Fidel Castro and his brother were assassinated, however, an opposition group might successfully take power in the resultant chaos. At the same time, an opportunity would be created for the Communists to enhance their position, ; - Although Trujillo is known to be supporting Cuban irregulars in the Dominican Republic and elsewhere, it is highly unlikely that. ~ he would support a military adventure against Cuba prior to the _ convening of the American Foreign Ministers in Chile on 12 August,’ Meanwhile, the Castro government continues to have the ardent support of a considerable majority of the Cuban people. Discontent has increased, but there is no evidence that it ex- tends to actual participation or approval of conspiracies against the regime, ; Page 12 - | it \ | ; ! . HW 55510 DBocld:32337049 Page 3
