      -   MM T-1 who has been engaged in Cuban revolution-7
ary activities during the past twelve years and who has
been closely associated with GERALD PATRICK HEMMING, JR.
for the past nine years, from 1961 to  the present time,
has furnished the following information concerning
IREHMING:

          In May, 1961. Major GEORGE TANNER  formed an
anti-Communist brigade in'Miami, Florida.  This group
of about 40 men consisted of mercenaries and adventurers.
HEMMING later took over the group, operated a military
training camp in the ?lorida everglades. and changed the
name of the organization to Intercontinental Penetration
Forces (INTERPEN).

          At that time, HEi*WG  claimed to have been
previously involved in training of Cuban paratroopera
in Nicaragua and Cuba for FIDEL CASTRO RUZ, Prime Minister
of Cuba.  HEMMING also claimed that he had previously
worked for the Cuban Revolutionary Air Force in Cuba.

          In June, 1961, HE4MING's group of 40 men
dwindled down to A  recruits and HEM1ING continued to get
considerable press publicity.  Many photographs appeared
in the Miami press of his recruits wearing uniforms,
carrying weapons, and living in jungle training camps.
During this time, the several Sheriffs  Departments in
South Florida received numerous complaints concerning
this group and their military training activities.
