1. Following Subject's arrival in Habana on 19 March 1957, he first
contacted AMPHODARCH-3 (on 20 Yarch) and set up fresh contact arrangements
between ,LP-0DAR.CH-3 and cut-out AUAJPNTOPE to be initiated following
VAIVADA's departure for PBPP.ITE. On 21 March, VAIVADA contacted the mother
of AMPHODACH-10 and was informed that the latter had taken asylum in the
Panamanian embassy in Habana 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-lo's mother on that day, the latter asked help in
getting ALIHODARCH-10 into PBPRIME. After consulting with the Station,
VAIVADA told the mother that this would be imprdtical as her son would have
to personally appear in the Consulate to obtain a visa; she' was advised to
tell AIPHOJARCH-10 to go into exile in Panama, and from there to go to Costa
Rica if he so desired under the conditions set out in HKH-A- 3507, dated
h April 1957, already forwarded to San Jose and to the Chief, iHD. At the
same time, VAIVADA forwarded the sum of $100 to AIPHODARCH-10 through his
mother. Ihe help afforded AW0HODARCH-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 A2APHODARCH-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-
AMPHODARCH-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. Fowever,
the whole atmosphere and tone of the visit was such that VAIVADA found it
