Pertinent information on Augero is outlined below. Volume 1 - #105-86025, Section 1, Serials 1-35 1. #105-86025-2 April 8, 1960 Airtel: to Director from SAC, Miami Luis Ernesto Conte Aguero, news commentator for Havana station CUO, arrived Miami, April 6, 1960, having sought refuge in Argentine Embassasy, Havana, prior to departure. Is ‘becoming an exile in order to write and speak the truth about Cuba. Says Castro is not a communist but a prisoner of pro-communists. Informant says Conte is a Castro plant in the U.S. Miami says it unusual for exile to blast Castro prior to his family's safe arrival in U.S. Conte's wife and child to arrive in about a week. 2. #105-86025 - April 27, 1960 Memo to Director from SAC, WFO (97-1354) Subject: The Fair Play for Cuba Committee Informant says one Roberto (LNU) requested that the Cuban Foreign Ministry furnish him biographical information on Manuel Beaton md Conte Aguero to write articles about these persons on the "Fact Sheet". Information on Conte: Head of Public Relations Department of Cuban Foreign Ministry described Conte as a traitor to his country. Said Conte's allegations against Cuba were copied word for word from assertions of the White Rose organization. After Batista was ousted, Conte was devoid of all in- fluence and tried to reestablish friendship with Castro and Castro was generous enough to forgive him. Says Conte is presently attempting to be placed in charge of anti-Cuban programs on Voice of America. Same informant says that Robert Taber (a FPCC member) has made trips to Havana to confer with Castro. HW 54653 DBocld:32259719 Page 2
