F/86 PERSONALLY OBSERVED L/1'S COMPULSIVE SHOPPING WHEN THEY ALL WENT TO ON 8 JAN. BOTH L/1 AND HIS WIFE BOUGHT LARGE NUMBER OF -ITEMS TO SEND TO THEIR FAMILY IN CUBA. AT ONE POINT, L/1 TOLD HIS WIFE. THAT HE WOULD DO THE BUYING AND SHE SHOULD BE THE HOUSEWIFE. MRS. L/1 CALLED HIM A "DUMB SPANIARD" ("GALLEGO BRUTO"). F/86 SUSPECTS THAT L/1 AND WIFE HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS, POSSIBLY DUE TO L/1’'S INFIDELITY. DURING THEIR SPATS, MRS.
