CHIBAS advised that the JURE In New York City has been

most inactive during the past few months and he doubted

that there would be any noticeable increase of activity

in the organization within the immediate future.(f)

CHIBAS stated on September 29, 1964, that there

has been a certain degree of dissension

within the

ranks of the JURE because of the failure of MANUEL

RAY to get into Cuba as he had predicted. CHIBAS stated

that in his last conversation with RAY prior to his

ersationd

departure from Miami, RAY told CHIBAS that he had every

intention of returning to Cuba before the end of 1964.

CHIBAS said that he did not know how RAY was going to

achieve this or what RAY's plans were but he felt sure that

RAY would make more attempts in the near future. (U)

NY T-3 on September 29, 1964, stated that

he had recently made a business trip to San Juan, Puerto

Rico, and had spent five days there.

While in Puerto

Rico, NY T-3 stated that he had conferred with a reilable

man in JUrE, who had been sent, there from Miami, by the

FLA.

name of (First Name Unknown) MUTARL.

NY I-3 stated that

BUTARI 1s an individual responsible for keeping the records

and the finances for the North and Northwest sections of

the JURE in Puerto Rico.

at the

membership list of the North and Northwest sections

and ascertained that there were 414 members listed and

that these individuals contributed on a regular basis sums

of money ranging from $.25 to $5.00. NY I-3 further

learned. from individuals close to

RAY in Puerto Rico that RAY has been travelling regularly

and has spent extended periods of time throughout the

Caribbean. NY T-3 said that it is rumored that RAY

has made a couple of trips into Cuba but he could not

vouch for the veracity of this rumor.(U)

NY T-3 advised that he had been requested by

the JURE to carry forth a program in universities in the

New York area which would familiarize the college students

with the program of the JURE.

NY I-3 said that it was

most difficult to establish organizations within

universities within the New York metropolitan area

because the students have such a distance to travel

and are reluctant to stay after school hours, and

secondly, so many of the JURE members in New York are

engaged in making a living and have little time to

devote to such a program.(u)

NY T-3 stated that the JURE In New York City

1s not active,has no real program or project, is lacking

in leadership and its headquarters at 104 West 43rd

Street, New York City, has become nothing more than a gathering

for members who

want to get out of their homes at

night. (UL),

NY T-3 stated that RAUL CHIBAS, the leader

of the JURE in New York, has returned to

New York from

Miami, is again teaching school In Long Island, but

has not the drive or leadership to do anything constructive

for the JURE In the New York area. ()

NY I-4, on October 2, 1964, stated that he

has not received any contact from any JURE members in the

last three months.

NY I-4 advised that RAUL CHIBAS:

who was supposed to be in contact with him regarding

the: possibility of purchasing weapons, has not contacted

him although NY I-4 had heard that CHIBAS had recently

returned to New York from Miami. (EL)
