14-00000 PERSONALITY BRIEF 1. General Lazaro CARDENAS del Rio AS a pro-Communist, anti-United States former (1934~1940) President of Mexico, CARDENAS plays an important role in the political activities of Mexico by virtue of his being the spirtual leader of a great part of the Mexican left. His leftist sympathies appear to fall primarily with the current regime in Cuba (He alledgedly is a close personal friend of Fidel CASTRO), secondarily with Communist China, and lastly with the USSR. 2. Braulio MALDONADO Sandez MALDONADO is a politically unscrupulous pro-Communist former Governor of Baja California, He is a national leader . of at least three Mexican leftist organizations: (1) FEP (People's Electoral Front), united single front of Mexican Communists and Leftists; (2) MLN (Nationa] Liberation Movement), rabidly anti-U.S., pro-Cuba Communist Front; : and (3) CCI (Independent Peasants' Center), radical, anti-~Mexican Government organization. Having been banished from Mexico until after the 1964 elections for anti~government activities, MALDONADO is currently in Europe and seeking admittance to the USSR, obstensibly to visit his daughter who is a student at the Friendship University in Moscow. 3. Alonso AGUILAR Monteverde AGUILAR is a prominent pro-Communist Mexican intellectual who is the titular head of the MLN (National Liberation Movement), rabidly anti-U.S., pro-Communist front. He is a full-time professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and maintains active contact with several international leftist and Communist figures. He has recently travelled to Cuba and Warsaw. 4, Jorge Leonidas TAMAYO Castillejos TAMAYO is a Communist professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexicc.  Heis a leading. member of many .Communist..... ». front-activities in Mexico including the CMP (Mexican Peace ... 50-78 gy me nen een ey eer eran ene
14-00000 ~2~ Committee), the MLN (National Liberation Movement), and the CEM (Circle of Mexican Studies). He has been in contact with several leftist figures of various echelon, including Gen. ‘Lazaro CARDENAS, the Cuban Ambassador to Mexico, and Polish, Soviet, and Chinese Communist officials. TAMAYO's son has studied in Warsaw and travelled to the USSR and Communist China. 5S. dose David ALFARO Siqueiros ALFARO, one of Mexico's most prominent artists, has been imprisoned for eight (8) years as a consequence of the role he played in the Communist-—inspired railroad stike of 1959. He is a leader of the PCM (Mexican Communist Party) and has _ visited the Soviet Union, He fought for the Loyalist Army in the Spanish Civil War and was later arrested in Mexico for complicity in the murder of Leon TROTSKY's secretary. ALFARO has a long history of pro-Communist, anti-U.S. leanings. 6. Roberto ROMERO Adams ROMERO is an informant for the Cuban Intelligence Service in Mexico. 7. Enrique GONZALEZ Pedrero Pro-Communist professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, GONZALEZ Pedrero has contributed to the writing or editing of at least five (5) leftist publications in Mexico. He is a member of the National Committee of the MLN, has alledgedly received training in the Soviet Union, and has travelled to Cuba twice in recent times. 8. Ignacio ACOSTA Lagunes _Pro-Communist ACOSTA, a lawyer, is an aide of General CARDENAS and a leading member of the MLN. He frequently has contact with high-level personnel of both the Cuban and Soviet Embassies in Mexico City. His political activities include travel to Cuba and the Soviet Union, aid in the management of the Communist Trade Fair in Mexico, and a great - deal of participation in promoting sympathy for the Cuban Revolution in Mexico.
14-00000 9. Direccion Federal de Seguridad — Federal Security Police - he principal functions of this security unit are to: (1) Provide a plain-clothed security detail for the President, (2) maintain an extensive telephone tap activity on both the Rightist and Leftist political opposition forces, and (3) perform investigations and arrests of primarily political offenses. The unit's agents are largely poorly trained, insecure, and unreliable. Their professional characteristics are best described as being dishonest, cruel, and abusive. The position, at this moment, of Manuel RANGEL Escamilla as Director General of DFS is precarious. 10. Politica A Marxist anti-U.S. semi-monthly magazine published in Mexico, Politica is printed by Talleres Graficos de Mexico, the same Shop which prints La Voz de Mexico. In addition to the modest revenues derived From a circulation of 15,000 to 25,000, Politica is financed by the Soviet Embassy, the MLN, the PPS, and possibly, the Cuban Embassy. AS an indication of the Mexican government's assessment of the capability of this magazine to influence public opinion, it is worthwhile noting that Politica frequently experiences a great degree of difficulty in printing and circulating itself due to the government's repressive efforts. 11. Movimiento de Liberacion Nacional (MLN) Organized under the influence of the PCM in August 1961, the MLN today is dedicated to the furtherance of the mutual interests of its adherents who are found primarily in the ranks of the PRI, the PPS, the PCM, the CNC and the UGOCM. The MLN's objective is to gain leftist political represen- tation in the government by inciting PRI to accept leftists into its camp. As a consequence of this objective, the mission of MLN is to generate evidence of popular leftist sympathy by means of fomenting agitation among the popular, labor, and peasant masses. 12. Confederacion de Trabajaderes de la America Latina (CTAB Orr a The CTAL has recently been replaced by the CUTAL (Single Confederation of Latin American Workers).

14-00000 4m pro-Communist, CTAL, which is described as being the liaison bureau of the WFTU (World Federation of Trade Unions) whose headquarters are in Prague, was headed by Vicente LOMBARDO Toledano. 13. Prensa Latina Operatiéng directly under the Cuban Communist regime, Prensa Latina is obstensibly a press service. In reality, however, it is the official propaganda organ of the Cuban Government. Prensa Latina works closely with Tass, the Soviet Agency; with Hsinhua, the Chinese Agency sand with Cetepka, the Czechoslovakian Agency. 50-- 15/3
