SOURMr,  A  former Cuban  IS officer who  served with the Cuban  Intelligence
          Servxce unti I   il  1964.


     1.  Although  there are  many menbers  of the Direccion  General dr
          Inteligencia  (General Directorate  of Intelligence  - DGI) who
          appear interested  in and favorable.towardothe  Communist  Party,
          Souice knows of only  three persons  who are actually  members:
          Saul GONZALEZ, aliasDenis;  Manuel  VEGA Perez, alias  Marcos
          Viera; and Felix  SUAREZ; alias Federico  Santiesteban.
          SUAREZ was a sort  cf political adviser  in the DGI  operations
          departments, but  insisted he was not  a commissar,  but, rather,
          a person in charge.   Although Source  and the other  officers
        -would  Lease SUAREZ  by calling him Comisario,  SUAREZ  greatly
        resented   the term and  actually physically  attacked  Source for
        doing   so.  Every Saturday  morning at  8:30, SUAREZ held  a
        political   indoctrination  meeting which  all personnel  were
        supposed   to attend.   Source was habitually  late to  these
        sessions,   and -althcugh hn.was given penalties  for his  obvious
        disaffection,   he never  paid any attention  to them.  The  DGI
        personnel   Source knew  were perfectly willing  to talk  politics
        among   themselves but  in a rather desultory  way; the discussions
        never  went  on very  long.

     2.  Apparently  during 1962,  there had been considerable  sentiment
         for Anibal  ESCALANTE  and his faction,  the Partido Socialista
         Popular  (PSP), but  in 1964 the PSP group  was disrupted  and
         the real  loyalty wa3  to Fidel CASTRO rather  than to the  Party.
