For Your Information

1. The following information was obtained from AMMUG-1 when

questioned concerning his knowledge of songs used in radio communications

in connection with reference:

a. When GPIDEAL died "AUGUSTO" personally came to the National

Liberation Building and held a meeting with the officers of that section. He

instructed those individuals who maintained communications with organiza-

tions of their respective countries, as well as with some agent, to prepare

a system of communication using some song, lecture, commercial, etc.,

which could be transmitted by Ridio Havana, Cuba, and could be used to send

easily understood ciphered messages.

AViVIUG-1 believes that Norberto HERNANDEZ Curbelo chose

the musical recording of "Las Seis Lindas Cubanas" [Six Beautiful Cubans),

or something similar. He believes this sung was written in the 1920's by

Antonio Maria ROMEU, who leads his own orchestra; however, the song

was made popular by the "ARAGON' orchestra during the "Cha Cha Cha era. "

(Comment: ROMEU is approximately 80 jears old and undoubtedly is identical

with the individual referred to as Antonio Varia ROMERO in reference.)

2. "AUGUSTO" or "Agusto" was previously identified by AMMUG-1 as

Deputy Chief of the DGI, and is probably identical with Carlos Sixto CHAIN

Soler, Deputy to Manuel PINEIRO,, Chief of the DGI.

3. It is not known whether there is any connection between the song

titles mentioned in reference as "tres lindas Cubanas" and the AMMUG-1

information reported in paragraph 1, b above, However, the similarity

of the titles is obvious, and the tentative identification of the composer

lends additional credence to the Station's suspicions regarding the unusual

nature of the intercepted conversation. Headquaters would appreciate

receiving any further information which SWHOP-? may be able to develop

on other conversations between "Alfonso" and his Cuban counterpart, as

well as any comments or information which Mexico City may be able tr

Note: There is a strong possibility that the songs referred to in paragraphs

l b and 3 are the same since the Spanish words Tres (three) and seis (six)

are often confused when heard by non-Spanish speakers.
