OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR SECURITI INFORMATION CONFIDENTIAL Hederal Burrau of Investigation n * United states Department of Justice * Illashingtun 25, n.c. December 11, 1951 PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL BY SPECIAL MESSENGER Rear Admiral Sidney W. Souers Special Consultant to the President Executive office Building Washington, D. C. My dear Admiral: Information has been received from a confidential source considered reliable relative to alleged Communist activities in Cuba and Guatemala, which I felt might be of interest to the President and you. The source has received information that the Cuban Foreign office has been advised by their representative in Paris that the Communists will allegedly make an attempt against the life of Cuban President Carlos Prio Socarras, and, that the Communists are allegedly planning a revolution in Guatemala. The above source was informed that the Cuban Foreign office was furnished with a list of names of the persons allegedly involved in the assassination attempt against the Cuban President, but the only name the source was able to obtain was that of Jose Carnero Camorraizo. According to the information received by the source, Jose Carnero Camorraizo is alleged to be a member of a Spanish action group and is believed to be en route to Cuba via the United States. Further, he is alleged to be a key figure in the plot and might possibly be carrying a United States passport. No indication, however, was given as to the date and mode of travel of this individual. The files of this Bureau fail to reflect information identifiable with Jose Carnero Camorraizo.
