                                                                   June 1977


                 SUBJECT:                           01-72562 V

                           (AMYURVY -4)


                      1.  AMTURVY-4 (A-4) was part of the AMTURVY net which carried out
                 spotting and sabotage operations.  In October of 1963 the Agency managed to
                 get a few pistols and sabotage items into the hands of AMTURVY-13  (201-738509
                 who was going to use these items in an assassination attempt against   Z 3
                 Fidel CASTRO.


                      2.  A-1 was involved in this plan.  One of A-4's close  friends was
                 one David UTIANSKY (AMFISH-1) 201-215877.  UTIANSKY'S file shows that
                 the Agency considered him to be a Soviet or an Israeli agent, or both.
                 In 1950 UTIANSKY was believed to be not only a Communist, but an official
                 delegate of the Rpssian Communist Party and was receiving his orders  from
                 the Soviet Charge in Havana, Dimitri ZAIKIN.  Again in 1961 .a request for
                 Security Information (CIA) on UTIANSKY stated that the Havana  files indicated
                 that one David UTIANSKY was/is a '!ilitant Communist.   In June 1963 WAVE 9575
                 (IN 56919)  dated 11 June 1963, reported information from AMTURVY-4
                 and listed David UTIANSKY as the sub-source.  In the cable UTLANSKY was
                 described as old guard Communist funding agent of Cuban Communist
                 Party in the 30's and 40's, NOW SUSPECTED KGB AGENT'.' On 6 November
                 (63?) a dispatch was sent from JMWAVE to the Chief, FID requesting
                 traces on UTIANSKY (see attached copy.)

                       3.  UTIANSKY's close relationship with AMTURVY-4 presents problems
                 in that the latter was deeply involved in the October 1963 plot to
                 assassinate Fidel CASTRO.  Whether or not AMTURVY-4 told UTIANSKY about  the
                 plan is pure conjecture at-this late date.,447wever, based on the files
                 of AMIURVY-4, AMIURVY-13 I                         and AMFISH-1  (David
                 UTIANSKY) it is more than   Avay  w                aware of the plan and
                 could have passed the information to the Soviets and through them to
                 Fidel CASTRO.  Again, the files give no proof of this.
