However, the Station has been able to gather some insight into this person by

carefu! analysis of material pertinent to her son.

(1) Sra. PEREZ de Vega is apparently an old line Communist, judging from

the comments made by her sons in correspondence. They referred to

her rather proudly as the "old communist" who in spite of her sentimental

ties to her sons and daughters submerged her personal feelings because

she knew that they were contributing to the "cause, " and therefore had to

leave home.

16, INTELLIGENCE AFFILIATION: Subject is a member of Cuban Intelligence,

and, to be more specific, he is in all probability a member of the Direccion

General de Intelligencia (DGI, the foreign arm of CIS. It is perhaps

Significant that Subject gave the following address in Habana where he can be

reached while he is in Cuba:

Instituto Cultural de Amistad con los Pueblos (ICAP)

17, Vedado, Habana, Cuba

Subject returned for what appears to be a second tour of duty in Mexico,

documented now as a Third Secretary of the Embassy, and reportedy Chief

of Cuban Intelligence for Mexico. His address in Cuba is listed as:

Calle 11, Number 306

Entre "A" y Terraz:

Lawton, Havana, Cuba

Telephone: 99-42-82

17. INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITY: It is difficult to dichotomize Subject's intelligence

and non-intelligence activities, since he obviously utilizes his overt position as

a Cuban diplomat to cover his clandestine activity. The narrative that follows

describes the total extent of his "known" activity with indications of covert

modus operandi where appropriate.

a. Subject was reportedly in charge of Security in the Cuban Embassy in

Mexico. The record reflects at least one case where Subject had one of

his fellow employees under surveillance, June 1962)

b. Subject was administering locally the "trainee program" of Latin American

youths going to Cuba, The record has confirmed cases where the Mexico

City Office of Prensa Latina, and specifically Edmundo JARDON Arzate,

201-163987, steers the prospective trainees to Subject. Subject calls them

to the Embassy where applications are filled out and these in turn are sent

to Havana for vetting. The reply from Havana normally takes 15 days.

(1903-64)

The Statior also has on record confirmed cases where the Guatemalan

(3) MFRAGA Perez, Celio:: A Cuban Foreign Ministry employee, who

proposes to VEGA that they establish a barter system between them-

selves. The writer will send cigars, Cuban booze, et cetera, in return

for VEGA getting some spare parts for the writer's old automobile.

(4) (MARTINEZ, Julio: Cuban, who, on his return from the United States,

wanted to talk to VEGA about his political plans, but wondered if the

was all right to visit the Embassy and that no one would stop him.

is quite incomplete but he almost serves the role of a "spotter."

the Cuban National Editorial; Vice President of the National Council

of Culture; Vice President of the Cuban National Union of Writers and

Professor of History. of Culture in the School of History, University of

Habana (DOI-1953). He is the Cuban representative to UNESCO. He

makes it a point to get rogether with VEGA to discuss a "few things"

whenever he ls in town.

/(5) FGARCIA Perez, Mariano: 201-33-4094, Cuban Consul in Merida,

Yucatan. His address is listed as Calle 22, Number 203b, Merida,

Yucatan. The implication is present in one conversation that GARCIA

has some type of name checking facility through which VEGA runs

his "trainees."

•(6) FPOSADA Torres, Jose Luis: 201-334215, Cuban Consul in Vera Cruz.

VST) *RAMIREZ, Angel "Tato": (201-

), Cubana de Aviacion employee

or official in Havana, Cuba.

(10) MAZOLA Collazo, Ciraldo: (201-

), Director of Cuban Institute

for People's Friendship (ICAP). Subject deals directly with this individual

regarding the travel of "trainees" to Cuba, or officlal guests of state.

MAZOLA has a private linc which VEGA uses to communicate with

him, and it does not go through the ICAP telephone switchboard. The

number of this telephone is 32-35-21. In the absence of MAZOLA,

Subject deals with one Humberto HERNANDEZ; who seems to be the

chief of ICAP's Traffic Section. This section apparently regulates

and controls travel of foreigners invited to visit Cuba.

1960.

ESPINO, Alfonso: (201-

), a contact of the Cuban Embassy

since 1962. He is also active in MLN acitivities. It was through this

contact that VEGA and other Cuban Embassy officials were attempting

to find out what Mexican regulations applied in order to get a permit

to operate.an SW radio in Merida.

The ostensible reason was to contact

Cuban ftshing vessels operating off the coast of Yucatan.

(3) F* CARRILLO, (Dr.): Identifles himself as President of the Grupos

Amigos de Cuba in San Luis Potosi. This person is probably Identical

with Dr. Jorge O. CARRILLO, who resies at Madero Number 375,

San Luis Potosi, SLP, Mexico.

He is on the Cuban Embassy mailing

list as of December 1962. It is belleved that he is the same person

who in 1944 lived at Bolivar Number 7, Apartment 10, Mexico City.

At that time, he was a member of the Assoclation of Friends of the

USSR, according to an Association membership list taken from the

Communist Party of Mexico headquarters In 1944. In May 1964, this

person was reportedly head of an MLN committee in Mexico.

(1) | *ESCAMILLA Alcocer, Mercedes: Long time participant in pro-

Castro activities. She had at one time a position in the Mexican

magazine "IMPACTO." For some reason, possibly an open code

arrangement, she identifies herself to Subject, when requesting a

contact, as "Doctora," She may be Identical with the female who

frequently calls and says that she is "the doctor but that to Subject

she is not the doctor."

(5)

(ESPEJEL Perez, Raul: (201-

), Member of Relations Section of

the Movimiento de Liberacion Nacional (MLN) and reportedly a PCM

member.

Subject is a very important contact of VEGA. ESPEJEL

Rafael *LECHUGA Ruiz, located at Cordoba 73, Mexico, D. F. This

Is a used car dealer firm; VEGA has recently purchased 16, 000 pesos

worth of spare parts from this firm. The owner of the firm has an

interesting background. Rafal LECHUGA Ruiz, DPOB: 24 .November

1906, Mexico City, was suspected of being a Nazi agent in Guadalajara,

Jalisco, in 1943.* He was pro-Nazi in sympathy. On 12 May 1915,

the District Judge of Guadalajara issued an order for his arrest for

the embezzlement of 7, 000 pesos received in payment for cigarétte

Ilghters which he falled to deliver, LECHUGA reportedly paid a 4, 000

peso bribe on 16 May 1945, and thus avolded detention.

In 1915, he

was engaged in smuggling automobites out of the United States in

violation of the Export Control Act. Customs agents in Laredo seized

a 1942 Cadillac which he had endeavored to bring into Mexien without

a permit. LECHUGA did succeed in smuggling a 1946 Chrysler into

Mexico withuut a permit.

The delivery boy from Casa Lechuga is a Negro. He could possibly

be the Fnu PICHARDO wich whom VEGA deals very frequently.

woman from Guadalajara. This is a strange case indeed.

Subject and

Rogelio RODRIGUEZ. Lopez make arrangements to meet her clandestinely

and cther. members of the Cuban diplomatic mission mect her overtly.

As a matter of fact, she is frequently seen visiting the Cuban Embassy.

She is a crass opportunist and notorious name-dropper, but VEGA seems

to handle her very proficiently.

(11) *SOLORZANO (widow ol) RAMIREZ, Cory: (201-

). This Individual

is the sister-in-law of General Lazaro CARDENAS del RIO. She is

accorded Vil treatment by VEGA, and they appear to be very close

triends. On one occasion, VEGA literally chewed out another Embassy

staffer for having failed to deliver a message from Coty to him.

VEGA frequently escortsher to her auromobile when she visits the

Embassy. She is a crony of Tereza PROENZA Proenza.

20. OPERATIONAL FLANCHING DATA

for access?

(1) current residence: A revier of Station materlal indicates that Subject

no loncer resides at the Hotel Agnes and now seems, to be permanently

Installed at the Cuban Emoassy compound. The Cuban Embassy 1s located

at Frencisco Marquez Iúo, Colonia Condesa, rexico City.

In late 1903

Subject gave

the following address in Cuba where he could be reached dur-

ing bis absence fron liexico - Calle 11, lumber 305 between A and Terraza

Lawton, Havana, telephone no. 89-42-82.

This is apparently an unlisted

telephone number, since a check of the Havana reversed telephone listing

failed to show the subscriber's identity.

(2) telephone numbers: 14-92-1, 14-13-26, 25-07-95.

automobile: In 1962, Subject most frequently used a 1959 Edsel regis-

tered in the name of the Cuban Entassy, lexico City•

Throughout the en-

tire year of 1903, Subject used most frequently a 1962 Plymouth that had

Counsular tags ,27. This autonobile is re, Isiered to the Consulate Gen-

eral of Cuba.

Beginning in Aujust livo, Subject was usei75,

at first, and more frequently as time went on, a 195% Chevrolet with di-

plomatic tags 165, which in 1903 was registered in the nane of Ramon s1n0-

bas, First Secretary, Cuban Bibassy •

current pattern of dall; activity:

It is rather difficult to discem any

delinite nattern in Sioject's daily activities.

A detailed study of LIONION

production for approdnately one jear indicated that Sabiest leit the bm-

bassy acout three times a back usine ailtonbile C-2T. He would depart at

ahoit 10 a.m. and rewini at suon.

In is believed that these times coincide

with she arrival of Cubena de Aración fligats from Cuba.

There has been

a noticeable decline in Subject's telenhonic contact, with strictly over

end: clandestine contacts sir.ca iovenuer I.5.

(E) usuable contacts - LIAi IL/3, end LI: IL/2

Handwriting samples and voice

tional planning ajalast Subject.
