              SOURCE   A former Cuban  IS officer who served  with the Cuban  Intelligence
                       Strvice until April  1964.


                   1.  Although there  are many members of  the Direccion General  de-
                       Inteligencia  (General Directorate of  Intelligence  6 DGI) who
                       appear interested  in and favorable  toward .the Communist 'Party,
                       Source knows of only  three persons who  are actually members:
                       Saul GONZALEZ, aibasDenis;  Manuel VEGA  Perez, alias  Marcos
                       Viera; and Felix  SUAREZ, alias Federico  Santiestoban.
                       SU1REZ wis a sert cf  rolitical 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 tease SUAREZ by  calling him Comisario,  SUAREZ greatly
                       resented the term and  actually physically  attacked Source  for
                       doing so.  Every Saturday  morning at 8:jO,  SUAREZ held a
                       political indoctrination  meeting which'all  personnel were
                       supposed to attend    Source was habitually  late to these- a
                       sessi6ns, and althcugh he  was given penalties  for his obvious
                       diiaffeztion, he never  paid any attention  to them.  The DGE
                       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
                      th& real  loyalty was to Fidel  CASTRO rather than  to the Pirty.
