When he first came into prominence as a Cuban exile .. leader, Manuel Ray Rivero was described as softspoken and unassuming, a person of highest intellect, sincerity and N conviction -- in other words, a natural leader. In 1947 g; - 11 the 23-year old Ray was granted a scholarship by the Cuban Ministry of Public Works to study civil engineering at the 2 University of Utah. Ray was in the United States for two years before returning to his native Cuba in 1949 and obtaining various positions in the engineering field, one of which was project manager for the construction of the 3 Havana Hilton Hotel. 0a Reacting to the excesses of the military ale o Fulgencio Batista, Ray organized the Civic Resistance Movement in 1957 and began supervising sabotage and acts of terrorism 4 against the government. His political posture and active resistance to Batista was recognized by Fidel Castro who, upon assuming control of the government of Cuba, appointed 5 Ray his Minister of Public Works in February 1959. Within a few months of his appointment, Ray confided to two anti-Castro Cubans that he had recognized the symptoms of Communism in the Castro regime but was not prepared to conspire against 6 El Lider Maximo. Ray's tenure in Castro's government was short-hived. He 7 was relieved of his official position in November 1953.
