                         References       256,  19 March 1957

                             1.  Following Subject's arrival in  Habana on 19 March 1957, he first
                         contacted AMPHODARCII-3 (on 20 March) and set up fresh contact arrangements
                         between L-HODARCH-3 and cut-out AYANTELOPE to be initiated following
                         VAIVADA's departure for PBPPIME. On 21 March, VAIVADA contacted the mother
                         of AMPHODKECH-10 and was informed that the latter had taken asylum in the
                         Panamanian Fdbassy in Kabana on 15 March as a result of the attack upon the
                         Presidential Palace of 13 March. At a personal meeting held in a secure
                         location with AMPHODARCH-10's mother on that day, the latter asked help in
                         getting AITHODARCH-10 into PBPRME.  After consulting with the.Station,
                         VAIVADA told the mother that this would be imprditical as her son would have
                         to personally appear in the Consulate to obtain a visa; she was advised to
                         tell AMPHODARCH-10 to go into exile in Panama, and from there to go to Costa
                       ..Rica if he so desired under the conditions et out in FKH-A- 3507, dated
                       h  April 1957, already forwarded to and to the Chief, iHD. At the
                       same  time, VAIVADA forwarded the sum of $100 to APHODARCH-10  through his
                       mother.   The help afforded A1?HODARCH-10 at this meeting was greatly
                       appreciated,  the agent's mother affirming to VAIVADA before their parting
                       that  she felt certain the agent would cooperate with us at any time. Arrange-
                       ments  were made for the Station to contact the mother independently at any
                       time  this appears necessary.

                             2.  In the evening of 21 March, after having telephoned to arrange a
                        visit, VAIVADA met with the sister and niece of AMPHODARC-1.  The Station had
                        determined that VAIVADA should, if possible, broach the problem of payment of
                        the $1000 authorized at that time, describing it as being back salary due
                        AMPHODARCE-1, rather than presenting it as a pay-off since the amount, by
                        local standards and that of an insurance policy premium, was small. VAIVADA
                        was well-received by the family and as a result of the visit believes there is
                        no possibility that the family is interested in embarrassing him, However,
                        the whole atmosphere and tone of the visit was such that VAIVADA found it
