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.
