SUBJECT: Cira MARTINEZ, sia: "Cirita", vas closely connected το Manuel RAY.
SOURCE: Karta DIEZ Rivas, Married to Dr. Ricardo KACHIN. Has connect in Havana with verious anti-Communist organizations.
On a visit I made to source, she told me that she had met Mrs. Cira MARTINEZ in Havana. That Mrs. MARTINEZ used the clandestine pacudonym "Josefina" and was married to architect Frank MARTINEZ. That both subject and her husband were persons in the absolute confidence of engineer Manuel RAY, and "Josefina" had been RAY's secretary for a long time.
Source claims to have learned from "Josefina" that she was dissatisfied with RAY's political actions, to the extent that RAY wanted her to join the executive of the organization J.U.R.E. but she had refused because she did not agree with the/ of this organization. That "Josefina" had described this organization as a political movement the same as Castroism, only changing the name of the leader. That the knows the plan of this organization is to organizo all anti-BATICTA and anti-CASTRO organizations, under the direction of the J.U.R.E., and develop a nationalistic and copecially an anti-American policy in order to be able to group all the elements existing in Cuba that have not figured prominently in the CASTRO regime. After the fall of the CASTRO rogine they plan to form a strong political party in Cuba and capitalize on the mistakos committed by the provisional Covernment. With this objective in mind, they will stay separated from the C.R.O. and from all relations with the U.S. Government in order to be able to carry out their plan freely.
Mrs. Cira MARTINEZ lives with her husband at 1004 NE 17th St., Miami, phone umber PL-C-0483 on which they talk to many persons related with RAY's plan.
NOTE: One of RAY's most trusted leaders in Miami is still Osorio DAVILA, former treasurer of the 26th of July Movement and man in the absolute confidence of Haydos SANTECIA, For a long time DAVILA was the Chief of the Havena Immigration Department, until he came to the U.S. by boat from the coast of Kansas. Some days ago I cubmitted a detailed report on Osorio DAVILA, and also on Cremos and many other

8 Oct 62, subjs Cira MARTINEZ (cont.) own leaders of J.U.R.E., because there is another group of individuals whose nomes are not advertised but who have command powers in the J.U.R.E. One of these men is Ignacio LIDON, former leader of the 25th of July Kovement, private secretary of the Commissioner of Havana Jose LLALUSA, and G-2 delegate in Havana City Hall. LIDON persecuted many persons in the City Hall because he was the one who made the licts of persons who should be watched, to the G-2. He also had close connections with the Minister of the Interior, Jose A. NARANJO, whom he kept informed about the persons under cuspicion who worked in the Ministry of the Interior. One time LIDON visited KARANJO and informed him, in the presence of KARANJO's secretary, Lucy ICHEVERRIA, that he should keep Captain Samon PADILLA, at that time Chief of the Isle of Pines prison, under surveillance. In 1960 PADILLA was preparing the escape of Captain Jorge SORUS, and thanks to Lucy'в werning PADILLA took precautions and the plan could be carried out. Ignacio LIDON lives in Miami but I don't know his home address. Although he inter declared himself ca cati-comunist, and I think he sought asylum in the Brasilien Embassy, I have no trust in him at all.

SEORIST
On Sunday, October 28, I met twice with Manolo RAY of the Movimiento Revolucionario del Pueblo (MRP) at the San Juan Intercontinental Hotel, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. My main objectives weres (1) to elicit from a a list of Cubans, presently associated with the Castro regime, who are critical of Castro and might be considered potential defectors; (2) to amin a list of Jubans, either inside or outside the island, who could be available, in case of an emergency, to help in setting up some kind of provisional government; and (3) to have his general views on the possibility of an insurrectionary movement.
Since I had arranged to return to Washington on the same day, I did not give Ray much Line to do a thorough job. However, he was able to furnish se with a list of names, covering points (1) and (2). He promised to provide me with additional information after checking with some of his associated in New York and Miami. His thoughts on the possibility of an insurrectionary movement idll be the subject of a separate semorandum.
