Re Miami tel May 19 last which transmitted information furnished

by this office to the effect that information had been received indicating

that there might be some trouble on May 20, 1952, this being the 50tholl

Anniversary of the Cuban Republic.

This is to advise

that May 20 passed without incident. A large

military parade was held and BATISTA was present. No effort was made to

molest BATISTA.

Mr. JOHN BONDS of the INS office here advised on 5-21-52 that he

had received iptormation from Nr. PluCHER of the border Patrol in Miami

that AURELIANO SANCHEZ ARANGO is definitely in Santiago, Cuba. Mr. PILCHE

laimed that this information came from a source whom he considers completel

reliable.

It is believed that this information is most likely correct in

that Cuban investigating authorities, although they have not been able to

find SANCHEZ ARANGO, are still receiving information that he is in Cuba.

Contact is being maintained with all available sources although

this office is conducting no active investigation in this matter. It will

be recalled that original information received from the Cuban Army indi-

cated. that the revolutionary plan was to be put into effect.on the night

of May 31-June 1, 1952. It is believed that should Cuban authorities be

successful in locating SANCHEZ ARANGO prior to that date, there is small

likelihood

that any counter revolution will be started.

The Bureau will be advised of any new developments.
