Mr. (ir.emaiosD t he WH haiti Desk ealled on 25 May 1967 and stated that they had been advied by an asset iL New York that Rane Juares Leos bad bee arrested by the FBI is New York City on that date. A beach warrant for the arrest of Lems had been issued by the District Court for the gouthern District of Florida since he failed to appear for eis arraignment in March 196T. He was indicted along with Rolanda Masferrer for plotting an invasion of Haiti. Mr.rsmimleo) said that they had no operational interest in Leon$ but their sources had indicated Leon might b$ considered a political asset in the post Davallier era in Yaiti. .remlien>. ed my opinion as to whether or not this possible se of Lems might have an effect on thlpfbarges being dropped against him. I told Mr. remillioi that it seemed highly unlikely that the Judge or the United States Attorney would consider dropping the charges since Leon had failed to appear before the court when so ordered. Z. I called Mr. Morris. Internal Security Division. Department of Justice, the attrney handling both the Masterrer and Bosch prosecutions, and told him that Lees bad been arrested. t was in a previous conversation with Mr. Morris that he told me that the United States Attorney expected to obtain the indictment against Beach an 31 May 1967. Mr. Morris said that both the United State. Attorney and the Department of Justice were considering postponing the date of bringing the inictn--t against Dosch because of the problems which had developed in Miami after a Cuban refugee named River had been arrested. The iaformatles available tudicates that Orlando Desch has been the leader of the protest demonstrations against Rivere's arrest. t would therefore seem prudent to delay the Indictment rather than precipitate greater dmostratgoss in the Cuban community of Miami. c9mR'~iSAL
