feel that the arrest and riat

CUBELAS are nothing more

than part of the usual plan of

FIDEL CASTRO to embarrass the United States,and the CIA

in particular,

by charging, and by the admission, of

CUBELAS,

that

he

was recruited by the CIA.

The reputation

of CUBÉLAS has long been notorious as a 'pervert,. and he

has long been

friendly with numerous members of the Cuban

revolutionary

leadership.

As pointed out in instant IHM,

no attention was ever called to these serious defects -

until CUBELAS was arrested.

His arrest is now being used

Vto lift all

vestige of title and authority from EFIGENIO

AMELJETRAy, who was probably not as friendly with CUBELAS

as. FAURE. CHOMON.

It will be recalled that FAURE CHOMON

was also:

indicated as being somewhat at fault in the matter

of the

"Humboldt 7" incident wherein several students were

killed by the BATISTA Police and it subsequently developed

that a member of the Cuban Communist Youth was an informer

of the BATISTA police and was high in the CASTRO regime.

Several reports have been received indicating

low morale

and a growing distruat.of FIDEL CASTRO in the

Armed Forces, and distruss of the Armed Forces In FIDEL

CASTRO's leadership.

MM T-1, wno is widely acquainted with pro and

CASTRO elements, and who maintaine contact with at

many Cuben news media,

on Marcha, 1966, described

forces which are stationed zu cemeriosa, Varadero,

Cardenas, and

Matanzes,

He noted that the militia

wears a khaki'uniform and is under the orderstof both G-2

and Army officers.

They guard fastories, industries, publie

offices and houses seized by the Cuber Government from their

legitimate owners..

They also furnish some men, upon

demand or order, to the Coastal and fort Control Departments)

The militia carry rifles onty when they are on duty, and

they are not regarded as one hundred percent loyal to the!

regime, and they know it.

The Rebel Army hag been made up of men more

trusted by the regime, especially since they, have

finally filtered out all ex-BATISTA officers and men.

The army Is better trusted, has more authority, is better

paid and in general, has the privilege of living in homes

stolen or seized from their previous owners::

Many home's

are equipped with swimming poole and other comforts to

which the present Cubas soldier was never accustomed in

of the Cuban Communist Farty, editorialized on the

stripping

of rank and position of MaJor EFIGENIO AVEIJEIRAS.

AMEIJEIRAS was a long-time friend of FIDEl CASTRO and the

Cuban revolution and was the first Chief of the Cuban

NatIonal Revolutionary Police.

He was removed in about

1961 and given various

assignments, Including a trip to

Europe, which was intended to bring

about his better

understanding of Communism and Indoctrination with

the

same.

His nickname In Spanish 18 "Id Yerbita" ("The

Little Herb", which 18 a nickname stemming from his

notoriety as a marijuana smoker.

MM T-1 called attention

to the fact that all of ANEIJaLRAS' vices have been known

to the police long before CASTRo's advent to power, but

It is only now that his vices, corruptness, and misconduct

form sufficient reason for his renoval from all positions

of authority.

The editorial in "Granna" stated that this

action

was due to his Irresponalble conduct and the great harm

he was doing to his ow prestige and that of the revolution

by maintaining friendly relations with "anti-social elements,

vagabonds, and corrupt individuals"

It was

then noted that

AMEIJEIRAS had had a close friendship and association with

former Major ROLANDO CUBELAS, mentioned above as under

trial for plotting to k111 FIDEL CASTRO and overthrow the

government.

"and above

all, with that of being a member of the Central Committee

of the communist party to which he was elected In

recognition of his outstanding war record, his terrible

suffering in which he lost three brothers in the struggle,

and with

the hope that

he would make a maximum effort to

overcome

his defecte"
