FAIR PLAY FOR CUBA COMMITTEE
The April 6, 1960, edition of "The New York Times"
newspaper contained a full-page advertisement captioned “What
Is Really Happening in Cuba," placed by the Fair Play for Cuba >
Committee (FPCC). This advertisement announced the formation -
of the FPCC in New York City and declared the FPCC intended to “
prom 16a tegrtne truth about revolutionary Cuba” to neutralize
the distorted American press,
“The New York Times" edition of January 11, 1961,
reported that at a hearing conducted before the United States
Senate Internal Security Subcommittee on January 10, 1961,
Dr. CHARLES A. SANTOS-BUCH identified himself and ROBERT TATER
as organizers of the FPCC. He also testified he and TABER
obtained funds from the Cuban Government which were applied
toward the cost of the aforenentioned advertisement,
On May 16, 1963, a source advised that during the first
two years of the FPCC's existence there was a struggle between
Communist Party (CP) and Socialist Workers Party (SWP) elements
to exert their power within the FPCC and thereby influence FPCC
policy. This source added that during the past year there had
been a successful effort by FPCC leadership to minimize the role
of these and other organizations in the FPCC so that their
influence as of May, 1963, was negligible.
The SWP has been designated pursuant to Executive
Order 10450.
On May 20, 1963, a second source advised that VINCENT
"TED" LEE, FPCC National Office Director, was then forsulating
FPCC policy and had tndicated that he had no intention of per-
mitting Frcc policy to be determined by any other organization.
This source stated that LEE believed that the FPCC should
advocate resumption of diplomatic relations between Cuba and
the United States and should support the right of Cubans to
manage their revolution without interference from other nations.
LEE did not advocate supporting the Cuban revolution per se, -
