**John F. Kennedy, Assassination, Investigations**

* 13 March speech by Castro attacking members of Cuban missions abroad for "living the gay life" and spending months in parties and good brandy.
* Major Efigenio Ameijeiras, Deputy Minister of the Armed Forces and member of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party, dismissed from his offices and to stand trial before a court martial.
* Rumors circulating that Blas Roca Calderio, Secretary of the UP and Chairman of the Constitutional Studies Committee, will shortly be ousted from the CP and brought to trial.

**Cuban Politics**

* Trial of Rolando Cubela, used as a peg for guilt by association in the dismissal and charges leveled against Major Ameijeiras.
* Amiejeiras stripped of his military rank and charged with being a "playboy", living the gay life.
* Charges of malpractices against the Ministry of Foreign Affairs impugn the loyalty of Foreign Minister Raul Roa Garcia himself.

**Economic Failures**

* Scarcity of food products, including rice, root crops, milk, and meat, severely rationed.
* Availability to consumers below 1957-59 levels, despite seven years of medicine, textiles planning.
* Serious shortages of medicaments, textiles, and housing.

**Castro's Power Struggle**

* Castro lashing out against Communist China and Yugoslavia, his power allies.
* University students and professors who were "purged" on trumped-up charges of homosexuality becoming aggressive.
* Military officers falsely accused will certainly respond.
* Students with the military are the two powerful groups that can reverse the trends as explained today in Indonesia.

**KUBRA Exploration**

* Stations in Cuban installations and/or trade missions requested to make maximum contacts with selected Cuban foreign and trade personnel, emphasizing to them that their "dole vita" and counterrevolutionary activities have been reported to Havana.
* Contacts should be geared to recruitment in place and cooperation rather than defection. Short of this, however, specific defection requests should also receive a receptive ear.

**Recommendations**

* Raise question who can now consider himself safe when Castro is turning against his most loyal friends.
* Avoid all references to allegations of GOC that KUBAR involved in Cuba plot.
* Pass above background and info may be passed to liaison.
