A Venezuelan Christian Democratic friend of mine, Valmore Acevedo, called me fro New York City yesterday morning L ask as a personal favor that I receive a Cuban exile living there who had something amazing to tell me. When I expressed mild skepticism, Acevedo urgently repeated his request and I agreed. ithin a surprisingly short time the Cuban, Victor Espinosa, arrived at my office (he said he had taken the plane immedi- ately). Espinosa gave his address suad telephone number as follows: 415 East 52nd Street, PA 1-7875. A sa ry of his statements follows. Espinosa has been involved in Cuban liberation activities for many years. He opposed Batista and opposes Castro. He is not a member of the March 13 Movement, but has long been very olose to many of its leaders, including Cubelas. Espinosa was trained by CIA, in both Louisiana and Guatemala, and was one of those who was sent into Cuba prior to the Bay of Pigs. He plans to become an American citizen in August of this year. He admires the United States and American strength and compe- tence in many fields. He, asked a New York acquaintenance of Lis for the name of somtone in the Department involved in Latin American affairs. He was told Acevedo knew such an afficial. Espinosa asked Acevedo (without, he claims,. re vealing his story), and the latter called me. A little earler thlat year Espinosa received a request from one of his reliable 'Cuban contacts in Europe, asking that he came there quickly. Espinosa went to Miami, obtained faip Cuban papers, and went to Paris. There, apparently in the resence of the Cuban Ambassador to France, he met one of the. top security men of the Castro regime, who had come to Paris for that purpose.
