a Cuban exile in Miami, Fla., has been active in bombing

shipments going to Cuba and was arrested by the FBI on

10/11/68.

Calif., was formerly active in Cuban revolutionary matters

in Miami. HARGRAVES is presently in jail in los Angeles

and is charged with dynamiting right wing organizations and

also the headquarters of the Black Panthers in the LOS

Angeles area.

HARGRAVES reportedly worKs fOr DUARTE, who

is associated with black militant organizations and extreme

right wing groups.

However, DUARTE apparently wants racial

warfare between these two groups and is promoting unrest

between racial and political groups.

are guerrilla warfare camps in Mexico and such groups as

the Black. Panthers

and the Students for a Democratic Society

(SDS, send members to Mexico to receive guerrilla warfare

training.

HARGRAVES claimed that DUARTE said he sent an

American friend to Mexico to inspect these guerrilla warfare

camps and to report back to him, DUARTE.

HEMMING said that he had received some inquiry

in the los Angeles area from nilitant right wing groups

concerning DUARTE's background, purposes and honesty.

HEMMING requested any information developed in

Miami by MM 639-S be forwarded to Los Angeles so that these

right wing groups could be advised. HEMMING explained that

DUARTE has been able to collect some money from extremist

groups in the Los Angeles area.

MM 639-S explained that both HEMMING and HARGRAVES

are extremists, activists, mercenaries, soldiers of fortune,

opportunists, and immoral.

However,

they have a thorough

knowledge of

Cuban revolutionary activities, have participated

in many proposed raids and invasions, are knowledgeable con-

cerning Cuban matters and are well acquainted in the Cuban

exile community in the United
