MM 105-2214

On December 18, 1959, MM T-I advised that

HERNANDEZ disclosed that on December 17th, he had

received a cable from Mrs. BATISTA, stating that her

ship would arrive at the Madeira Islands on December 21st,

and that HERNANDEZ should make certain as to what hotel

In Paris the United States Congressmen would be in, so

that QuELL in Madrid could meet them.

HERNANDEz expected

to hear from GUElL on the evening of December 2lst.

BURSTEN, according to M T-1, advised that

IRVING DAVIDSON waS st1l1 In Miami, but that DAVIDSON

was opposed to BATISTA's coming to

the united States,

DECaUSE BALISTA haS had connectIons WIth NORMAN ROTHLAN,

Miami Beach gangster and hoodlum, who, according to

DAVIDSON, once attempted to embarrass Vice President

RICHARD NIXON.

On December 14th, examination of the outbound

THA manifests in possession of Inmigration and Naturaliza-

tion Service, New York City, reflected that ABRAHAM and

BERTHA MULTER 139% East 21st Street, Brooklyn, Passport

Numbers 218346 and 218721, respectively, departed New

York City via TWA Flight 900, on November 25, 1959.

The first foreign port for this flight was Lisbon,

Portugal.

While being interviered in another matter, on

Washington,

advised Speclal Agents RICHARD B.

KELLOGO and DONALD HOETING he had learned while in

Miami over the past weekend, that a plan is under way

to get BATISTA into the United States, In spite of

previous refusals by umigration and Naturalization

Service and the State Department to allow his entry.

He said a group, whan he would not name, but some of

whom he said are

the United States for a price, by arranging for his

testimony before a Congressional Conmittee or Conmittees.
