[250]To oe Mrs. Sue Panzer
[252]From =: Chief, DO Division { SA
[254]SUBJECT, Meeting with Rolando Masfer
[256]- DATE: 18 August 1964
[258]1,° In accordance with our conversation, I am sending you the
[260]facts as I know them regarding the 7 August meeting in n New York City
[261]between Rolando Masferrer and Averell Clark.”
[263]. Apparently Masferrer knows Stanley Ross, the Editor of El
[264]Tiedipo. a Spanish-language newspaper published in New York. The
[266]Possibly Masferrer did not previously know Ross, But at any rate, either
[267]on his own or through someone else, he
[269]got in touch with kim in late July
[270]or_early August and said that he wanted to be put in touch with an American
[272]with an aviation and military background, I do not know too much about
[273]68 at the moment except that he has had considerable Latin American :
[275]experience and would be a logical person for any Latino to approach. It
[277]' would be very easy to obtain additional evidence on him if desired,
[279]3. Iam attaching for your information a list of the stockholders
[281]{a El Tiempo, Inc. to provide some indication of who is behind Ross, In
[283]addition, we have a list of all the senior officers of El Tiempo,
[285]4, Ross knew of Clark through the Hitchcocks listed, as you will
[287]note, as stockholders, Mrs, Margaret Hitchcock is Clark's annt, while
[289]Thomas Hitchcock I is his first cousin as presumabiy, is ¥iiliiam
[290]Hitchcock. During the war Clark was an outstanding fighter pilot, having
[291]flown with the RAF through the roughest days of the Batile of Britain, and
[293]. thereciter shifted to the Americans with whom he flew many missions as
[295]2 P-47 pilot. He is still in the Air Force Reserve.
[297]5. At Rose's request Clark met Masferrer at the El Tiempo office
[298]in New York City on 7 August. Ross left the room so that the session was
[300]ustice arrested him and put

[339]6. Masferrer alleged to Clark that he was representing some twen
[340]' Cuban exile organizations, and that he was working with a Haitian, Charles
[342]Farben, | head_of an anti-Duvalier organization known as "Capois rt.
[344]. in return for help from Masferrer, Forben was to be asked to let Masferrer
[346]>. but he asked that Clark not mention hie intention to harrass Cuba, since he
[348]. said that Masferrer would have to leave to him what matters he chose to
[349]» to him through Ross.
[351]_ waz; I had known his family for many years, and one of his closest friends,
[353]" associated with the Agency. Incidentally, I believe that Clark has had some
[355]wa patina pend atts he oe
[357]-2- 4
[359]orben allegedly asked Masferrer to help his organization by leasing or .
[360]buying a PBY-5 aircraft for use against Duvalier. Masferrer claimed that
[361]Forben's group was in a position to take control of the Ile de la Gonave., . °
[362]an island just off the west coast of Haiti in the gulf north of Port au Prince.
[363]It is conceivable that this is the wrong island since Clark did not have the
[364]name of the island in question, but based on the description of its location
[365]by Masferrer, 1 am assuming this to be the island involved. At any rate,
[367]and some of his Guban ‘exiles use the island in question as a base from which _ .
[368]to harrass the eastern end of the Island of Cuba. . ;
[370]: 7. Clark told Maaferrer that as a member of the Air Force Reserve,
[371]he would have to report the conversation to the and could not do any-
[372]thing witho with the USG. Maoferrer said that he had no objection
[374]6, particularly with regard to the activities of Forben and his group,
[375]maintained that the USG would forbid this as being against USG policy. Clark
[376]discuss with the USG. It waa then agreed that Clark could reach Masferrer
[378]through Ross's office for about a week, and thereafter could pass a message
[380]8. Clark got in touch with me because I had known him during the
[382]James B, Watriss, is a cousin of mine and was, until about 2 year ago,
[384]discussions with SOD with the idea of possibly being use conné

[2382]. and his information has teen fairly reliable in the past.
[2384]This
[2385]_ 4nfermation was oltained from Rolando Arcadio Masferrer Rojas,
[2387]Bolando Arcadio Masferrer Rojaz, prominent Cuban exile and financial
[2388]tucker of several Cariblean paramilitary vperations directed against

[2390]close contact with Dominican Consul Carlos Peguero Guerrero, the
[2392]. breather of General Belisario ero Guerrero, Dominican Police
[2394]: . Cefef, Mesferrer said that he-
[2396]rn collaborating with Cousul Peguero
[2397]Tet by giving ois full support to the Partido Litaral Evolucionista
[2399](PLZ, Liberal Zvolutionist Party) and that he is ready to zo to
[2400]an the pouirican Republic should Leis Amiama Tio, a leader of the
[2401]-..”° BEB, ea@11 for aim. When discussing the sethod by which Masferrer

[2412]of Palaguer
[2414]because Diego Pordas Hernandez, tormer leader of the
[2415]Partido Revolucionario Dc«inicano (PRD, Dominican Revoluticaary
