In early November Luis Emiro Valencia, one of the leaders of the FUAR, was asked directly if. there was any truth to the story circulating in Cali. that Castro had given him 50,000 dollars to help FUAR. He laughed and asserted the amount mentioned in Bogota is only 30,000. He said his only assiszance from Cuba was a 1,00C@-dollar first prize in a literary contest in 1959 or 1960 and two paid trips thereafter to judge other literary.contests. It is difficult to determine the truth of Valencia's denial or the charges mentioned herein. The story has been circulating in Cali for approximately six months and could be hearsay on the part of either Plata or wapata. it is noteworthy that Valencia has refused to espouse common ideology with the PCC, éxcept for Castro, which Valencia insists he will not accept if it is a tool of international Communism, , ? 1 a a rn Docld: 324273640 Page 176
