SOURCE A former high-level Cuban official who was once active in the revolutionary
movement and a confidant of Fidel Castro. He has always been anti-Coonnist and
is now strongly anti-Castro. He continues to maintain contact with many Cuban
officials at all levels of government. Source has provided .a limited number of
reports which appear to have been accurate.
Headauarters Comment. Source, who also has good contacts among leaders of the
Federacion Estudiantil Universitaria (FEU, University Student Federation), re-
ported on 2 February 1965 that Jaime Crombet and Lazaro Mora would be elected
president and vice-president, respectively, at the 8 - 10 February elections
of F X officers at the University of Havana. The following comments by Source
are reported in light of his experience and insight in Cuban student matters.
Jaise Crambet, newly elected president of the Federacion Estudiantil Universi-
taria (FEU) at the University of Havana, has little influence over the University
work which the Cuban rdgime tries to impose. Lazaro More, the new vice-president,
4 thent and, frmltw99~ 91 asill madi ifcutt etitain loe cdoontat fitamea
qlthough younger than Crombet, is a member of the student old guard;' he worked
with Rolando Qu]AIR Secades during the period when the latter was president of
the FEU, from late 19r,9 ;o 1961. Mora still maintains close contact with Cubela,
who apparently plans to retain his influence at the University with .the students
through Mora and with the faculty through Luis Soto, Vice-Rector of the Univer-
sity. It is certain that Fidel Castro will not be able to control the students
through Crombet as he has done through his predecessor, Jose Rebellan Alonso,
* for the past two years. The fact that the students no longer react spontaneously
will make Crombet's task a difficult one. Crombet may be able to attract members
of the Union de Jovenes Comunistas (UJC, Union of Communist Youths), of which he
has been president, but Mora is considered the leader of the anti-Communist groups
at the University. A small Trotskyist group still exists, but it is insignificant.
Headearters Comment. A Havana radio broadcast of 11 February 1965 announced
the results of the elections, namidg, among others, Crombet, Mora, Iliana Valmana
as secretary of organization, and Francisco Dorticos as deputy secretary of
organization.
