This dispatch repnrts on thr ac tivity of the pro-Castro element in Miami. By HAROLD Y. JONES Miami IUPD You get Cuban politics with your little cup of thick Cuban coffee at Paula's restaurant near downtown Mi ami. Politics at Paula's Is paint ed either black as the coffee or white as the table cloths. There is no middle ground. The Spanish words for politi cian and criminal are synony mous in the language of Paula's customers, and always applied to anyone who de nounces Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. A yellowing portrait of Cas tro - beardless - beams down as if in approval as Jose Paula, proprietor, speaks. "Why don't the newspapers tell what happens? Why don't they show what Fidel is do ing? Why don't they say how Batista butchered the coun try?" Paula asked. "Fidel is trying to get for Cuba what you have in this country. A nice living. Is that so bad?" Paula waved toward the pic ture as though inviting the premier to agree. The sweep of his hand also took in sev eral bullet holes in the wall. Aimed At Picture The bullets, from a .45 cali ber pistol, smashed the glass front of Paula's restaurant last year. Apparently they were aimed at Castro's likeness. "Batista criminals," said Paula. Paula's Is one of the' meet ing places where 26th of July men met during the days when Fidel Castro's ragged rebels fought Batista's army In the Sierra Maestra Mountains. There are an estimated 100, 000 Latins in Miami.. About 50,000 of them are Cuban born or of Cuban descent. There is a large Colombian colony and the remainder are a mixture of Latin America. The Cuban Colony breaks down something like this: -The Batista faction which fled Cuba in the wake of the Castro revolution. U. S. Im migration once estimated this group at 350 to 400 persons, but it probably is bigger now. -The neutral Cubans, non political, making up the great majority. Most of these were anti-Batista but many have cooled on Castro. -The active Castro support ers and 26th of July mem bers, numbering around 300. -The anti-TruJillo group, probably less than 100, ac tively working with the sym pathy of the Castro supporters to unseat the Dominican Re public strongman, Rafael Tru jillo. New Group Formed To this breakdown can now be added the "united" exile front being organized by ex iled Cuban businessman, Fran cisco Cajigas. Only Cajigas and his associates know the number of their supporters. "Cajigas is just trying to swindle the people who are giving him money," said Ed- uardo L. Blanco, the Castro- appointed Cuban consul gen eral in Miami. "We will give the Cajigas people guns, bazookas, hand grenades and tanks and any thing else . . . and we will fight them with just machetes . . . and we will win." The most publicized under ground activity in Miami of late, since gun-running sub sided, has been illegal leaflet dropping and f i r e-bombing flights over Cuba. These flights have been sponsored by various anti-Castro elements. But the 26th of July move ment agents are still busy. Re cently, the FBI smashed a plot by Cuban secret police to kid nap former Sen. Roland Mas ferrer from Miami and return him to Cuba to face revolu- tionary justice. Masferrer was a senator and Batista's right hand man. The FBI was tipped that Cu ban agents were seeking a Florida law officer with an ' itchy palm to help in the kid nap plot. An undercover FBI j agent passed himself off as a 1 Dade county deputy sheriff and leaked the word he was for hire. i The Cubans Instructed their ! "deputy" to arrest Masferrer on a trumped-up charge. They j would have a boat waiting on Key Biscayne to whisk Mas ferrer to Cuba. The FBI ar rested the Cubans as they paid the pseudo-deputy in advance, j Even the redoubtable Maj. William Morgan, the Ameri- can lieutenant of C a s t r o, j slipped in and out of Miami in 1959. He was baiting the , trap in which a band of antl- Castro conspirators flew from the Dominican Republic to Cu-1 ba-into the arms of Castro's soldiers. ' V ' Occasionally opposing polit ical elements clash right in the streets of Miami. But the last such incident brought stern warnings from Miami authori ties. There were no more street fights. But the factions, the hatreds, the plotting all are still here, awaiting the next revolution to flare into the open again.
