       nsS IS UNEVALUATED  INPORMATION. SOURCE GRADINGS ARE D1IMITWE  AOPPAISAL OF CONTENt IS TENTATIVE

SOURE    A  former Cuban IS officer  who served with  the Cuban Intelligence
         St-rvice until April  1964.


     1.  Although  there are many  members of the Direccion  General de
         Inteligencia  (General Directorate  of Intelligence  . DGI) who
         appear  interested in and  favorable.towardzthe  Communist Payty,
         Sourge knows  of only three  persons who are actually  members:
         Saul GONZALEZ,  aliasDonis;  Manuel VEGA Perez,  alias Marcos
         Vicra;  and Felix SUAREZ.  alias Federico Santiesteban.
         SUAREZ was  a sort cf pclitical  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 8:30, SUAREZ  held a
         political  indoctrinition meeting  which all personnel  were
         supposed to  attend   Source was  habitually late  to these
         sessions, and  althcugh ho was  given penalties for  his obvfous
         disaffeztion,  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 196-1 the PSP group was disrupted  and
         the real loyalty  was to Fidel CASTRO  rather than to  the Party.
