11M ANDUM  FOR. TE RECORD

5L'3JSCT:. Initial Dearief ifg of A


16 June 1961.


       1.  Subject was met at. the Hotel -Dupont Plaza from 0930 t2
  1515 on 15 June 1961.
       2.- Most of the conversation at this first meeting centered
  on debriefing of staybeiind net, propaganda effectiveness and,
  prLarily,        a own future,

      3.  Propagada.'  Subject  stated that the fish symbol appears
 everywhere.  He has  seen the symbol in elevators, public buildings,.
 public toilets, bus and  train depots, park benches, etc. Fis
 remark that,.You were always conscious of tre.:'i despite the fact
 that in .most places they were taken down immediately, is quite
 indicativ'e of the wide disti-ibution and use of the symbol. Koit
 of the symbols that he' saw were in chalk tather than the blue
 stamp.  Subject believes most people thoug'.t the fish to be a
 Christian s-mibol rather than a counterrevolutionary one.

      Subject had seen many clandestine newcpsperts leaflets, and
 pawnphlets even up until the last moment of him departure. He
 -listed Avarde, Roscate, Prensa Libre, Bohemia Libre and La-Marina
 As periodicals he had. aeen. He saw them in private homes (most
 'of the homes he visited were counterrevolutionary).  Most of toe
 copies were quite beatuidicatin gto him'that they had been
 passed from nand to hand.  In his opinion, people treasurei the
 copies that they had.  He cited the case of one girl who carried
 copies in her handbag to show to other girls in her office.  Lubject s
 only criticism of the periodicals was that at times they became a
 little too flowery.  In his words, Tnere were too many adjectives.
 He thoueht that a more direct approach would be :taore effective.

     He claits  that everybody listens to Radio Swan but nobody
believes it.  He mentioned one Swan broadcast which announced.tnat
bodies were lying all over  the Valecon and rotting in the sun.
Listeners went to view  this and found that there were no oodies
there.  Voice of America is listened to and is quite highly regarded.
Subject cited two otier oroadcasts that he considers co;ur.ter
revolutionary and whicn gre well thought of; one originates from
New York and one from Key %'est. He tninks that most people  -isten
to Miami when conditions are right.  I asked why people contLnue to
listen to Swan if it is so discredited.  He stated that, altr.ough,
it is not believed, it is still a contact with tne outside worLd.
Tnere is no peralty for listering and all people will ope ly discusd
