CASTRO may permit onsite inspection by appropriate D. N. observers. CASTRO will then ask for a no-invasion pledge by the U.S. 2. CASTRO is the complete master of everything .and everyone in Cuba. CASTRO's five points were extremely well received and fully subscribed to by practically every Cuban in Cuba. 3. The professional officer cadre of the Cuban Navy and the officers of the rebel army, as opposed to those of the militia, are the element most likely to conspire against the Communist oriented direction of Fidel's government. 4. The shortage of doctors in Cuba has made it necessary for CASTRO to prohibit their further exit and in addition he has recently raised their pay and given each a new automobile. A further exodus of doctors from Cuba will cause a "panic" on the SoutT doctas + island. This is one item the Soviets cannot furnish. Gxe Not Pe tuek . . aN CUceays: 5. A further departure of engineers would likewise damage the regime, but they can be replaced by Soviet and Czech technicians. Grier wel §

The cownter-surveillance block 4 Hock makes black living impossible in the cities and towns. 7. When the CRC goes, Fidel won't be able to hold the flood of Cubans seeking refuge in the U. S. 8. apparatus. . 9. Fidel suspects the Communists to have an underground Blas ROCA is the leader of this apparat. Fidel is bothered considerably when Carlos Rafael RODRIGUEZ is made out to be the main cog of the Cuben government. 10. The death of Fidel would result in a free for all--with each army commander digging in for a show down. Céliculated to go down is Raul; given e good chance for survival, in wnion with rebel army and navy leaders, would be "Che"; the Commies would lose out.

This could begin with pictures of Fidel and Carlos Rafael conferring in the Sierra Maestra. I believe such pictures exist. The showing of CR as Fidel's mentor both in Marxism-Leninism and in "how to organize a country" will hurt Fidel.@* ©:™: KOCbeiGuU Re ; H z rf ; B.

Psychological warfare which was not well received: A. Those works showing Fidel as a beast with long, bioody claws, or as a donkey pulling Khrushchev in a wagon. B. The "gusano" theme has not been noticed to any degree (at least not by AMLEO/3). He considers this "too common" a theme to have eny value. 14. There will be no revolt or uprising by eiements within Cuba, unless the "fiame™ of resistance is kept alive and the hope of outside help is not lost.
