SOURCE   Cuban businessman  in exile who  travels abroad  frequently  and has
         good access  to Cuban diplomatic  installations.   His reporting  has
         been limited.


         In late September  1964 Ant.nio .Carrillo Carreras,  Cuban
         Ambassador to:France,  made the  following comments  about
         succession to Fidel  Castro Ruz,  and the personalities  who
         are curreutly the most  powerful  political figures  in Cuba:

         a.  In the event of  the disappearance  of Fidel Castro  from
             the scene, particularly  through  assassination,  Radl
             Castro Ruz will  take over innediately  as leader  in
             accordance with an  established  plan.  Raul has  the
             support of the army  as well as  that of other  top Cuban
             leaders in Fidel's  im-.zdiate group.

        b.  In  terms of authority,  after Fidel  and Raul, President
            Osvaldo  Dorricc s Torrado and Industries  Minister  Ernesto
            Che Guevara  Serna  fcitow in that  order.  Dorticos,  who
            is widely  rcspecte0  in Cuba, now has  specific responsibility
            for guiding  thL econLmzyv. Guevara,  in spite of his  foreign
            birth, has  pcFular support  and is generally  considered  a
            Cuban.  Cuevara  has rnt  failed as Minister  of Industries.
            The difficult  fLctioning   of the economy  is attributable
            simply to  the fact~that many  key industries  continue  to
            use Arerican  equipm-ent for which replacement  parts  cannot
            be acquired.   Newer plants  generally use  Soviet and  Czech
            equipment read they are now  producing efficiently.
