Pavlq and an Unidtified Cuban during Period 17-15 October 1.. n 2 October the undersigned and of WI/3 listened to the play-back of a tap., brought to Washington from Ian and given to Colonel ling by Mr. Pwler on 19 October, which was a recording of Nr. Pawley's comverations with two Cubans during the period 17-18 October. The first conversation was with an unidentified Cuban, believed to be a menber of a group of wealthy anti-CASTM Cubanse members of which heve talked to Mr. Paid.y recetly about their plans for sabotage af the coming sugar harvest as reported in UMA-32 dated 2 October. The sond Cuban vs ANPACA-1, a Cuban journalist of operational interest to Station Babana and a separate memorandau I seubeitted on that aonversatio 2. The unidentified Cuban, who had sommfzat of an accent and spoke indistinotly, was difficult to understand. He mentioned a- meeting with some at our people who came up from Cuba' to discus plans.. He said his group had been contacted by a representative of . Ceneral Jose Eleutorio P1EAS , leader of Cuban revautionary groups in the Dominican Republic, who wanted to knaw what action their group had taken and was told that they had a plan to start sabotage. The Cuban said the PDRAZA representative said their group (the PEWZA group) had four provinces organised in Cuba, mentioning Camaguey and Santa Clara, and that they had two provinces yet to be organised -- Habana and Hatansas. 3. The Cuban said his group needed two things - moral backing and money he pointed out that Cubans in Cuba are afraid' to start an underground movement, and there was no way to raise funds, etc. Mr. Pawley gave him no encouragement on the money angle, saying that even if there were Ameri cads willing to rue the risk of becoming involved in Cuban revolutionary activities by furnishing money for such a movement, which he doubted, he felt that at the present time it would be like putting money down a rat-hole for the folla ng reasoes (1) there is no unity among the anti-CASTM groups, and there are at least 10 that he knows of who are working absolutely independently of one another; and (2) CASTM is in control of the country and has- the support of a large number of Cubans, especially the under-prfvileged. Hr. Paley said he felt the Cuban economic situation was worsening fast and that if it gets bad enough, a.large number of Cubans will trn on CASTRO but until that tine comes it would be dangerous to try to organise a reuolutionary movement.
