Communists Making Headway in Cuba
Former Costa Rican President Jose Figueres was im-
pressed with the extent of Communist influence in Cuba dur-?
ing his visit there last week. He and his close associate,
Gonzalo Facio, returned convinced that the Communists are
influential, not only in the Cuban Army and in organized la-
bor, but also in circles close to Prime Minister Fidel Castro.
Figueres now definitely regards Castro as an opponent of
the leftist non-Communist Latin American revolutionary move-
ment represented by himself and Venezuelan President Betan-
court. He expects serious political deterioration in Cuba, after
which "anything can happen," including Communist domination.
He strongly suspects that there is a nucleus of dedicated Comrmmu-
nists in Cuba trying to create a "Hungary in reverse" requiring
US armed intervention. This would entail considerable blood-
shed and have world-wide repercussions favoring the Commu-
nists, he fears.
Figueres' observations were apparently confined to the
Havana area. In Oriente Province, where the Communists ap-
pear to exert their greatest influence, a group of citizens has
found it advisable to disband its anti-Communist civic commit-
tee since anti-Communists are being equated with counter-revo-
lutionaries, who are considered close to being traitors in Cuba
today. In Oriente, Communists are prominent among the teachers
being recruited for the violently anti-US political-indoctrination
schools which the government is establishing to teach the illiterate
rural masses. The schools are expected to be extended to the
rest of the island. (SECRET)
