Evidence of some of these plots was provided by six Cuban "double agents," who apparently Infiltrated Cuban exile groups in Miami and collaborated with the CIA. until as recently as 1976. But while many of the Cuban charges were riot new � some witnesses even quoted evidence from the report of the United States Senate's Select Committee on the C.I.A. � the Cut.i_n Government did provide fresh testimony casting doubt on some C.I.A. claims that linked Presi- dent Kennedy's accused nasassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, to Cuba. � Eusebio &cue Ldper, a former Cuban consul In Mexico City, told the tribunal that the person Claiming to be Lee Har- vey Oswald who visited him Sept. 27, 1963, to requekra visa for Cuba was not the same person who appeared in films and photographs as the arrested assassin of Mr. Kennedy. The Warren Commission reported the C.I.A.'s evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald had visited the Cuban consulate on that day. "In no way did the person saw in film and photographs resemble the person who visited me," said Mr. Arcue: who has never before given evidence In public. "The person In the film was younger and with a pudgier face compared to the hard lines and older face of the person who re quested the visa." A member of a so-called Cuban Investi- gating Commission, Idallserto Guevara Quintana, who presented today's main charges against the C.I.A., said that there was a growing body of evidence suggesting efforts to link Cuba to the as- sassination even before It took place. Mr. Guevara charged that, contrary to evidence presented to the Warren Corn- mission, no one by the name of Lee Har- vey Oswald belonged to the so-called "Fair Play to Cubs" Organization Co the United State, and that no affiliate of that group existed In New Orleans, Where Mr. Oswald had allegedly been a militant. He also said that, contrary to evidence presented by the C.I.A. to the Senate's Se- lect Ownmittee, the person who sought a visa for Cuba in Mexico City never an- nounced while In the consulate that he was planning t kill President Kennedy. The C.I.A., Mr. Guevara said, tried to link Cuba to ths murder by emphasizing links between Mr. Oswald's assassin, Jack Ruby, and the Mafia leader Santos Traficante, who visited Cuba In 1959 in an unsuccessful effort to persuade Mr. Cas- tro to reopen ti_vana's casinos. Mr. Guevara further maintained that the C.I.A. has tried to hide the fact that Lee Harvey Orwald was recruited by the agency while in Japan tn 1959. Mr. Guevara accused the C.I,A_ of de: celvIrtg the Senate's Select Committee by suggesting that Rolando Cubelas Se- cades� who Is now serving a 2S-year prison term here for espionage for the United States, was Infect, double agent, Chas trying to discredit his evidence of as- sassination plots against President Cas. tro, Mr. Cubelas appeared before the tribunal today and admitted working for the CIA.

It was attended by several high-level clandestine officers and some former top officials of the agency. The topic of discussion was: What to do about recent revelations associating President Kennedy's accused assassin. Lee Harvey Oswald, with the spy game played between the U.S. and the USSR.? (SPOTLIGItT, . May 8, 1878.) A decision was made, and a course of action determined. They were calculated to both fascinate and confuse the public by staging a clever "limited hangout" when the [louse Special Committee un Assassinations (I ISCA) holds its open hearings, beginning later this month, A "limited hangout" is spY jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professiohals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting�sometimes even volunteering�some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further., We will probably never find out who masterminded the assassination of J FK�or why, There are too many powerful special interests connected with the conspiracy for the truth to come out even now, 15 years after the murder. But during the next two months, according toueniIiveiuurcesifl the CIA and on EISCA, we are going to learn much more about the crime. The new disclosures will be sensational, but only superficially so. A few of the lesser will rani involved in. the: cansairuey and 1LS sulg.vtiutill coverup will be identified for the first time�and allowed to twist slowly in the wind on live network TV.
