"exiles." This article stated that Manuel Artime, civil-

ian leader of Brigade 2506, had revealed plans apparently

designed to make him an independent political power among

the exiles. Artime announced that members of Brigade 2506

would not be invited to join the U. S. Army, but he would

remain in Miami and work independently for exile unity.

This article said that Artime's decision puts him in the

position now as being independent of the CRC and of the

Brigade.

The February 14, 1963, issue of the "Miami

Herald" carried an article entitled, "Invasion Vets Back

Council." This article disclosed that a group of released

Cuban prisoners declared their support of the CRC and re-

jected any other leadership. This statement was signed by

103 members of the Brigade.

The February 16, 1963, issue of the "Miami

Herald" carried

an article entitled, "U. S. Plans Train-

ing for Exiles."

This article disclosed that MIRO CARDONA

announced that the U. S. Department of Defense and the

Department of Health, Education and Welfare would conduct

the military and civilian programs for the liberated Cuban

invasion prisoners. He said these courses would begin

the first of March, and would last from eleven to twenty-

two weeks.

Lehman. He advised that the demonstration would take

place in front of the office from 10 A.M. to 12, Noon,

and that "We will stand in a picket line with signs and

leaflets to demonstrate, as is our right, our belief that

military solutions

may remove a Castro, but can provide

no lasting solution to the problems of

the world."

Mr. Garcia stated that members of the Council

were upset about this matter, and feared violence would

take place against the demonstrators by infuriated Cuban

exiles.
