A Greek crewman stated that a Cuban ship located

further up the dock planned to take a large shipment of Soviet

trucks to Cuba. He, Father McFadden, took photographs of these

trucks.

SS "Argentine" he ascertained that several members of a Cuban

ship further up the dock had attempted to make contact with

members of the American crew. of the SS "Argentine" but were

stopped from doing so by the Russion security forces at the

dock.
