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.
