In June 1959 an ex~-DR leader was reported to be holding a position in the Covernment of Cuba, It had been reported that on Subject's return from Spain, where he was military attaché briefly, he was appointed Under Secretary in the Ministry of the Interlor. : In September Subject resigne] us Under Secretary to become a candidate for president of the FEU (see Unit 5, Regime's Attitude towird Subject). He was elected on 17 October 1959. A reliable source stated that his reslgnation from the Under Secretary's post was due in part to the fact that the DR was unhappy over his acceptance of the position. The public reason given for his resignation--that he desired to run for the presidency of the FEU--afforded a good excuse, Shortly after his election Subject was one of the principal speakers at a mass demonstration held to protest the incursion of foreigh-based aircraft over Cuba. Subject said that the university students would be organized into student brigades and would receive military instruction, The brigades would he called "Brigedas Estudiantiles Untversitarias José Antonio Echeverria." Subject immediately inplemented the establishment of these brigades. In December a US resident of Cuba who received his information from a Cuban youth leader reported that the swing of the FEU to the left was confirmed by its decision at the end of November to become a full member of the Commmist-run International Union of Students (TUS), although it also retained its association with the Coordinating Secretariat of the National Union of Students (COSEC), the free world's international student organization.

In April Subject was given a vote of confidence by the executive body of the FEU and was authorized to appoint students to serve on the new tribunals. The FEU leadership in the 13 university faculties continued to voice its support for Subject and the revolutionary government of CASTRO, In July, according to a US State Department despatch, freedom of academic expression was ended at the University of Havana when Subject's radical students and allied professors “took over" the university. The FEU directorate told the University Council it no longer had any authority on the campus and must step aside to make way for a new “Superior Governing Board." The council refused. On 14 July fighting broke out at the Law School between moderates and pistol-packing representatives of the FEU. Havirg Castro's regime behind them, the FEU group quickly “restored order" and took over the law school, locking classrooms and ousting professors, Subject, three other students, and four leftist professors (Hector GARCINI Guerra, Enrique JIMENEZ Lopez, Enrique HECHAVARRIA Vaillant and Abelardo MORENO Bonilla) formed the Superior Council of the University Government, On 15 July university autonomy ended and the University of Havana became another instrument of the Castro regime, On 16 Deceuber the governnent-controlled El Mundo announced that Subject had been named president of the newly established Revolutionary Vigilante Committee in the University of Havana. The US State Department called him Fidel Castro's "Shar pshooter in the University of Havana," 1961, Subject told an intimate friend prior to his departure for a . tour of various European, Eastern and Soviet Bloc countries that he knew his usefulness to the regime was over and that if he remained in Cuba he would soon be liquidated. He said he had had serious arguments with Fidel Castro and Ernesto “Che” GUEVARA de la Serna over his successor as president of the FEU.

The reason for their divorce is not known, although there were persistent rumors among Subject's friends that his . Tre, eps wife had caught him in homosexual activities with another man. Some said it was Ernesto "Che" GUEVARA de la Serna and others said it was Rafi CASTRO Ruz (probably the latter, if the story is true). Subject reportedly likes and admires his wife and is concerned for her welfare and happiness, although he does not love her in the husband-wife sense, according to a statement from Carlos TEPEDING Gonzéiez (now in the United States in exile), a longtime friend of Subject. During summer 1962 Subject met with Tepedino in Europe and there stated that he could not go back to his wife even if he wanted tc because she had been too outspoken in her dislike for the Castro regime, He also mentioned her desire to get out of Cuba, This coment was based on the supposition that Subject might be working against the Castro regime in Cuba upon his return to that country, Tevedino expressed the belief that Subject did want to return to his , wire, There has also been the comment that some of Subject's . “guilt” feelings come from the necessity of resolving the problem of this separation, Editcrial Note: Since he still likes and admires his wife, Subject may be more cautious in any anti-regime action while she, their child, and bis mother remain in Cuba, CUBELA Secades, we meegonny o Unit 12 _S-E-C-R-E-T NO FOREIGN DISSEM

One minor example is the incident of his engagemount to his present wife, which was announced in 1959.

In 1959 a Guatemalan youth leuder who spoke to Subject at some length after the latter's return from Communist China reportedly said that Subject was not too intelligent and was primarily a-soldier in attitude and outloox, . In November 1960 an unidentified source called Subject one of many “suall time” student leadere who made their living by extortion and blackmail, The principal victins were homosexuals who were prominent in social, professional and business positicns, This report called him an individual without principles or scruples, rreedy, ambitious, and one who would betray the regime without qualms should it suit his own interests. Among his victims allegedly were Miguel Angel QUEVEDO y Lastra, former editor cf the weekly magazine Bohemia (now in exile in Venezula and formerly working for the United States editing. Bohemia Libre) and one Dr. CARDENAS, chief surgeon of the university hospital. However, Quevedo is and was openly known to be a homosexual and Dr, Cardenas appears to be Dr. Armando de Cardenas Aranguren, a pathologist who admitted homosexual relations with Subject during an interrogation by Batista’s military intelligence after the killing of Lt. Col. Antonic BLANCO Rico. There is no doubt, however, that Cardenas still considered himself a friend to Subject and as Jate as 196] was trying to help get Subject out of Cuba; this does not seem to be a likely action for someone who had been black- mailed for years by Subject. : According to one source Subject contemplated suicide in 1961.
