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 t1e 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 the econoyzw. 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.
