Subject was also provided with copies of Bohemia, Revelucion, Avance, PBeneria Libre . and EB Mundo. Subj is quite emphatic on the harm done to our cause by “f= adverse propaganda put out by our country. Se has maintained for some months, that in part CASTRO's march into the Communist camp was encouraged oy gur general sropaganda campaign. Her contention is that the Cubans already know there are open sewers and garbage in the bacx yard, and that our constant dunning of this fact into the ‘ears and eyes of the Cubans is simply rubbing salt into wounds. It Is destructive rather than constructive sropa,: ainda. By way of illustration, she laid out side by side Revolucion, Bohemia, an? Bohemia Libre. Even without stucring the comtext of the articles, “re visual exe-sTes”” were obvious. One of her points: that even iliiterates would get a mess. the human interest phetogravny of Pevclucion and Sohemia, while Bohemia used primarily "meg" shots. (Judging oy the exaxpiesS She showed me, she rad a point.) e Subj has been asked by William S. BAPNES, Law Prof at Harvard, to work with him aarid Horacio SID0Y, Argentine law stucent at Yale, on one of several projects he is undertaking in connection with the L.A.States. These include a proposzed tax reform plan for certain L.A.States. She will get further details fra. BARNES when she visits Cambridge on Friday, zi March. BARNES also asked her if she would like to work on one of his projects in Washington, D.C. for OAS - she is teing discouraged from accepting this pdésition. i Subj was advised that since she had teen unable to return to Cuba, the conditions # her proposed contract were invalid. She was informed, however, that we were attempting to.arrive at a fair arrangement for paying her - that in the interim we would pay al expenses involved in her travel and activities performed at our direction - in addition we give her occasional spot payments for information received. A monthly retainer was discussed “nC approxinstely £50.00 a month - since she has no constant source of income. “However, since she will be on a salary with BARNES, it weuld appear advisable to hold this amount against her future needs. .
