SUBJECT : PUGH, Robert West
#789 6567
8

1. Reference is made to your request dated 4 January 1966
for a Covert Security Approval to permit Subject's use as a First
Officer in the Far East under Project HBILKA/JBGREED. Concurrent
with issuance of the approval, the following is offered for your
information.

2. Investigation has recently been completed with generally
favorable results. However, Subject's military file indicated that
he had been found unfit for duty due to excessive drinking, and
had been allowed to retire in the best interests of the Navy. His
Navy record stated that this drinking problem adversely affected
his judgement, reliability, and personal behavior. This weakness
had been discussed to no avail with Subject on several occasions.
It should be noted that domestic inquiries developed no indica-
tion of over-indulgence since his departure from the military on
October 1964.

3. Additionally, it was developed that Subject's brother
Bartholomew, aka: Bart PUGH, was the Subject of an FBI investi-
gation in 1941, which was conducted to resolve allegations regarding
the loyalty of Subject's brother. Subject's brother was determined
to have been associated with known Communists and was active in
Communist matters in the Los Angeles, California area during this
period of time. However, it was noted that these activities had
caused a break with this individual and his family, who were not
in sympathy with his viewpoints and activities. There was no

MEMORANDUM FOR: M. de Vosjell
SUBJECT: Report on Antonio RODRIGUEZ Echasabal

Antonio RODRIGUEZ Echazabal was born in Cuba on 17 August 1913.
He has a master's degree in agriculture, professedly has no religion but
is a Mason. RODRIGUEZ is married to Edith JONES, who was born in
Cuba on 10 March 1917; she is, however, of Haitian origin, being the
daughter of a former Haitian Ambassador to Belgium, and she is a devout
Episcopalian. The couple is known to have three children: a son who was
last reported to be in Havana, Cuba; a daughter married to a man of
German birth who was employed in the Castro land-reform organization
until his departure for Germany in December 1961; and a son, Antonio
RODRIGUEZ Jones, bora 24 August 1943 at Havana, who was studying at
the Ecole Francaise Internationale in Washington, D. C. in 1961. This son
has been reported to be anti-U.S. and to have requested permission of his
father to go to Cuba or to another "socialist" country to continue his
education.

Antonio RODRIGUEZ Jones resided in Washington, D. C. with Yvonne
JONES, his aunt and sister of the wife of Antonio RODRIGUEZ Echasabal.
Miss JONES was born 10 April 1910 at Antwerp, Belgium; she was unmarri
and was a secretary at the Pan American Health Organization. She became
a U.8. citizen in 1959. Since the Castro zegime has come to power,
Miss JONES is said to have spoken quite openly for Castro and against the
U.S. Government.

RODRIGUEZ lived in Haiti for about eighteen years prior to the
commencement of his diplomatic career, having been barred by the Batists:
government from returning to Cuba. He became a Haitian citizen and was
the owner of a Port-au-Prince meat market called "El Ose Blanco". Wher
Castro assumed power in Cuba, RODRIGUEZ took over the Cuban Embassy
in Port-au-Prince in January 1959 after the Batista-appointed officials had
fled to the Dominican Republic. Soon thereafter he was named Ambassado
to Haiti.

Following his appointment to the diplomatic post, RODRIGUEZ continu
to maintain contact with persons in opposition to President Duvalier of Hal:
Citizen of Cuba

In late July 1959, Haiti was invaded by a small group of Cubans, supposedly
as a prelude to an invasion of the neighboring Dominican Republic. The
incursion was successfully repelled by the Haitian Government, which
publicly charged RODRIGUEZ with complicity in the raid. RODRIGUEZ ther
closed the Cuban Embassy and returned to Cuba after selling his private
property in Haiti.

While RODRIGUEZ was still in Haiti, two attempts were made on his
life. He accused the Trujillo regime in the Dominican Republic and,
indirectly, the Haitian Government of complicity in those attacks.

In November 1959, RODRIGUEZ went to Guatemala as Cuban Ambassado
There, he appears to have associated freely with pro-Communist groups. I
March 1960, he was requested by the Guatemalan Goverament to leave the
country on the ground that he was engaging in activities laimical to the best
interests of Guatemala.

In November 1960, RODRIGUEZ reported to Karachi, Pakistan, as Cuba
Ambassador. His wife accompanied him there and served as his chief
secretary. During the initial months of his tour there, his closest relation
in the diplomatic colony were with officials of the Belgian Embassy,
presumably as a result of the fact that Belgium had represented Cuba when
there was no Cuban representative in Karachi. During 1961, however, his
social contacts were almost exclusively with Soviet, satellite and Chinese
Communist diplomatic personnel.

In late 1961, when RODRIGUEZ apparently had decided to defect, he
confided to an acquaintance in the diplomatic colony that he was finished
with politics and wanted to devote the rest of his life to agriculture. He he
at the time to go to the Dominican Republic or to another, unspecified Souti
American nation. At the time of his departure from Karachi by air for
Germany in early 1962, RODRIGUEZ reportedly made only a very limited
statement at the airport regarding his defection. The event apparently
received very little, if any, press notice in Pakistan.

Insufficient information exists at present to permit a determination as
the genuineness of RODRIGUEZ', disaffection with the Castro regime. Fo
reasons which have not as yet been fully reported, the Department of State
denied a visa to RODRIGUEZ, apparently after he had made the decision te
resign his post in Pakistan. We understand, however, that, following his
Citizen of Cuba

arrival in France in January 1962, he received permission from French
authorities to travel to and reside in Martinique. It appears that he left
France on 31 January 1962 en route to Martinique.

This service would appreciate having the results of any dobriefing of
RODRIGUEZ by French authorities, with particular reference to the reasons
for his resignation and his plans for the future.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD:

SUBJECT: BEHEIREN and the Four U.S. Navy Deserters

A. Origin and Development of BEHEIREN.

1. Founding: BEHEIREN (Japan "Peace for Vietnam" Committee) was organized in April 1965, nominally as a politically Independent group of intellectuals and cultured persons whose purpose was "to help restore peace in Vietnam." Actually, it is a loosely organized group of ex-JCP members, progressive intellectuals, leftist cultured persons, and leftwing students banded together in the name of opposition to the Vietnam war by two common denominators, dedicated anti-Americanism and refusal to be dominated or controlled by the orthodox Japan Communist Party.

2. Hard-Core Secretariat: The real force behind the organization of BEHEIREN, right from the beginning to the present, has been a brilliant Communist named YOSHIKAWA Yuichi, whose conspiratorial organizational skills have been perhaps the most indispensible ingredients in BEREIREN'S development. YOSHIKAWA was expelled from Tokyo University for his role as a ZENGAKUREN leader in the 1960 U.S./Japan Security Treaty riots. He then went into fulltime JCP mass movement professional work, becoming the Secretariat official in charge of international relations for the Japan Peace Committee. YOSHIKAWA broke with the JCP in late 1964, following the rupture in relations between the JCP and CPSU in May that year. The inspiration for BEHEIREN springs in large measure from YOSHIKAWA's personal desire to use his organizational talents in countering the JCP and its Japan Peace Committee. YOSHIKAWA, in addition to being a well qualified English linguist himself, years ago surrounded himself with a small following of similarly qualified lieutenants, whom he brought along into BEREIREN to give him the necessary depth and experience to run this new organization. YOSHIKAWA functions as BEHEIREN's Secretary General.

3. Respectable Intellectual Front: Following fundamental Communist principles for mass movement work (better than the JCP itself follows these tenets), the ex-JCP organizers of BEHEIREN kept themselves in the background and lined up a number of prominent Japanese progressive intellectuals and leftist cultured persons to front for BEHEIREN. The choice of ODA Makoto, ex-Fulbrighter and popular young novelist, to be the chief front man - Chairman - was an extremely lucky stroke for BEHEIREN. ODA has taken to this grand-standing, front work like a duck to water. It has given him a chance to give unbridled vent to his own latent anti-American foolings, puffed him up to the extent that he has been dubbed "the emperor" by other BEHEIREN activists, and given him at long last an ideological mission to pursue. YOSHIKAWA has performed magnificently in feeding ODA's ego needs and in infusing and indoctrinating ODA so that his words and actions take on sufficiently virulent anti-American overtones. ODA has served another vital function for BEHEIREN by recruiting a sizeable number of fellow intellectuals to join the ranks of BEREIREN activists. (Attachment 1 is a listing of a number of those Japanese who have been identified as active BEHEIREN supporters or sympathizers.)

4. Organizational Development: In its 2 1/2 year history, BEHEIREN has not appreciably changed its organizational format, although it has moved its office three times and modified its name even oftener. PEHEIREN is not a "mass organization", because it has had no sizeable popular backing to the present time. Its hard core, secretariat organization is run by YOSHIKAWA and his lieutenants. Its public image, intellectual front is led by ODA, and given body by a score of like-minded intellectual friends of ODA and YOSHIKAWA, who form the loose body of BEHEIREN's activist leadership. Under this ΒΕΠΕΙΡΕΝ leadership superstructure lies a paltry base of only several hundred BEHEIREN "rank-and-file" supporters, mostly young Japanese students. Organizationally, EEHEIREN has no formal membership system, so its base of supporters is fluid and not precisely measurable. However, the base support for BEHEIREN has definitely been on the upswing during 1967, and made such notable strides during the past summer that JCP Headquarters officials finally felt constrained to note with concern that BEHEIREN was beginning to drain off a growing number of progressive youth who otherwise would have been absorbed into the JCP's own youth movement. BEREIREN leaders have tried to help this growth along by setting up a youth section, calling it "Young BEHEIREN." BEHEIREN's imaginative actions and publicity-conscious programs have been responsible for its recent growth, and this period of growth seems to be now on

the verge of really picking up speed and momentum. As a result of its role in the case of the four deserting sailors, BEREIREN has reaped bountiful publicity, has succeeded in touching a delicate Japanese public nerve of sympathy and pacifism, opening a floodgate of support for BEHEIREN from all over Japan. When this case fades from the limelight, it is still most likely that a fair percentage of current wave of popular support for BEHEIREN will solidify into permanent mass backing, giving BEHEIREN, for the first time, a meaningful base to support its future activities,

5. Activities and Accomplishments: BEHEIREN has engaged in a number of propaganda actions, and participated in international anti-Vietnam War activities. It has tried to co-operate with certain front activities in Japan controlled by the JCP, most notably the Japan Committee to Investigate War Crimes in Vietnam activities, which culminated in the Tokyo Court of last August, but has been soundly and rudely rebuffed by the JCP. In spite of this, BEHEIREN has churned along at its own pace, with a continuing series of anti-Vietnam war actions, most of them related in some way to the American pacifist movement. In this regard, BEHEIREN has succeeded in cornering a virtual monopoly on Japanese contacts with the U.S. pacifist movements, and has effectually capitalized on this to promote its own action program. The case of the four deserting sailors, while an apparent lucky windfall for BEHEIREN, only points up the fact that BEHEIREN, through past organizational work and promotional activities, was "johnny-on-the-spot", ready and capable (unique in Japan in this regard) to take the ball and run with it. BEMEIREN ran all the way in this case and scored its most notable success since it was organized. (Attachment 2 is a listing of BEHEIREN's more notable activities since its founding. Attachment 3 is a partial listing of American and other foreign persons known to have been in contact with or cooperated with BEHEIREN.)

B. The Case of the Four Sailor Deserters and BEHEIREN.

1. How It Started: The consensus of all available overt medin material, with no recorded dissent, indicates that the four sailors voluntarily left their ship, went AWOL, and ended up wallowing around Tokyo's hippie-land. Precisely what personal grievances prompted the four to embark on this mis-adventure is not yet known. But, up to this point, the four could fairly be categorized as misguided youngsters, gone astray in a foreign land, and due to get slapped back in line with traditional Navy justice when they finally decided to stop the fun and go back to the ship. So far, this made their cases far from unique.

2. How It Became an Incident: "But instead of returning to their ship of their own volition or being apprehended by the Shore Patrol, the four made contact with BEHEIREN leaders. Acsin, press reports indicate that this was just a coincidence, that there was no pre-planning by the four to contact EEHEIREN. There are no available overt nor covert reports that indicate otherwise. But, once the BEHEIREN people made contact, they recognized the potential immediately and moved fast for the kill. (Attachment 4 is a Yomiuri Newspaper clipping, 22 November 1967, that is both a representative and comprehensive account of this phase of the case. Even if this article should contain some minor inaccuracies, the basic line seems factual and has not been challenged elsewhere.)

3. BEHEIREN Takes Over: When the four made contact with EEHEIREN, it suddenly became an entirely different ballgame. BEHEIREN had everything needed to capitalize on this: veteran activist leaders who are experienced enough to recognize the windfall that had come their way; an apparatus that could provide hiding places for the four; long standing liaison contacts with Soviet Embassy officials for use in planning exit from Japan; solid contacts with reliable American pacifists with whom the bona fides of the four sailors could be checked; money and organization to capitalize on the propaganda potential (such as preparing a movie film for the initial BEHEIREN press conference announcing the desertion, prepared more likely than not by BEHEIREN stalwart EUEQ Keinosuke, an independent film producer) and English speaking activists capable of sympathizing, encouraging, soothing, or agitating the four young sailors, so that there would be no turning back.

4. The BEHEIREN Apparatus At Work: While many of the small pieces of this puzzle, which would put the whole case in proper detailed chronological order and eliminate speculation on minor points, are still missing, enough is known now, through overt and covert sources, that the picture of BEHEIREN'S adept handling of this case shines through clearly. The following elements, all part of the BEHEIREN apparatus, make up the bulk of the picture:

a) Hide-out: When EEHEIREN got hold of the four on about 26 October, they had to be hiden out for the approximate two week period until their exit from Japan could be arranged. This presented BEHEIREN no great logistical problem. A number of the BEREIREN activist leaders have homes well suited to harboring fugitives. For example, BEHEIREN activist leader FUKASAKU Mitsusada has a villa hidden away in Chigasaki, which was used on the night of 12 September for a meeting of about 20 top BEHEIREN leaders, and which would be highly suitable

for hiding the four deserters. Other private-dwellings, belonging to BEHEIREN leaders and loyal supporters, are scattered throughout both the Kanto and Kansai areas.

b) BELEIREN/Soviet Liaison: EEDEIREN Secretary General YOSHIKAWA has maintained periodic contact with Soviet Embassy officials for years. BEFEIREN Chairman ODA has met Soviet Peace Committee officials in Moscow. The exact means of how this liaison was accomplished in this case is precisely known from a covert phone tap on the Soviet Embassy's line. A full transcript is available of two phone calls made on 30 October, first by Brian Victoria to Chief Press Attache Nikolay V. Vasilyevich, and second by YOSHIKAWA to First Secretary Sergey D. Anisimov, urgently requesting a private meeting later that day to discuss "an extremely important, extremely delicate antter", without doubt the case of the four sailors.

c) BEHEIREN/U.S. Pacifist Liaison: BEHEIREN contacted Dartmouth University professor Ernest P. Young, who flew to Japan on & November, apparently helped BEHEIREN leaders check out the bona fides of the deserters, and returned to the U.S. on 11 November. (Attachment 5 is the translation of a Sankei Shimbun article, dated 21 November, reporting an interview with Young, giving his version of his role in this case.)

5. Escape to Moscow: The four deserters turned up in moscow on 20 November. The press has speculated widely and unanimously that the four left Japan on the Soviet passenger ship Baikal on 11 November. Again, there is no dissenting opinion, overt nor covert. The only mystery concerning this final phase of the Japanese portion of this case concerns the mechanics of how the four boarded the Baikal and who assisted in this maneauver. But with the sailing of the Baikal from Yokohama, BEHEIREN completed its most highly successful and beautifully executed activity in its 2 1/2 year history. Not only did BEHEIREN smear the American Government's image in Japan, not only did BEHEIREN gain a vast amount of priceless publicity that will swell the ranks of its supporters and be invaluable in future activities, but BEHEIREN doubtlessly even made a profit, financially, on this low budget operation - donations are still pouring into BERZIREN Headquarters from all over Japan to "help and protect U.S. deserters".

Some BEHEIREN Activities and Accomplishments

1. Regular once-per-month demonstrations at a public park in
Tokyo, consisting of anti-American speeches and followed by street
marches.

2. An all night TV "teach-in" with BEHEIREN activist leadors,
along with special guest, U. S. pacifist Carl Oglesby (Chairman of
the Students for a Democratic Society.)

3. A full page advertisement in the New York Times (16 November
1965), followed by another full page ad in the Washington Fost
(3 April 1967), appealing to Americans to stop the war in Vietnam.

4. A "Meet in Conference of Two Nations for Peace in Vietnam,"
held in Tokyo in August 1966, and attended by BEHEIREN activists and
seven U.S. pacifist leaders (including Dave Dellinger), and observers
from France, England, Canada, the USSR, Pakistan, and Mongolia.

5. A mass meeting in Tokyo in October 1966, guest speakers of
which were French pacifists, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.

6. Nationwide tours of Japan for lectures and peace rallies for
such anti-Vietnam war pacifists as Professor Howard Zinn and the late
A. J. Nuste of the United States, Claude Bourdet of France, and Thich
Nhat Hanh of South Vietnam.

7. A mass meeting in Tokyo in January 1967, sponsored by
DEHEIREN and featuring U.S. folk singer and pacifist Joan Baez.

8. A continuing program of direct distribution of pamphlets to
U.S. troops stationed in Japan, and those coning to Japan on warships,
and for rest or hospitalization from Vietnaz.

9. Participation by two BEREIREN activist leaders (Kyoto
University professor KUWABARA Takeo and International House staffer
TSURUMI Yoshikyuki, taking advantage of a trip to the U.S. to attend
a non-political Japan-America Congress on Cultural Problems) in
anti-Vietnam war speech rallies and demonstrations at Dartmouth
University in early May 1967, followed by an unsuccessful attempt
So invite Cassius Clay to visit Japan on behalf of BEHEIREN.

10. Continuing efforts to bring to Japan for a nationwide

speech tour on behalf of BENEIREN, Soviet poet Yevgeni Yevtushenko,
an effort that has not yet reached fruition but is still pering

11. Participation in the Stockholm July 1967 "World Conference
on Vietnam," by sending two BENEIREN activist leaders as delegates.

12. Cooperation with the U.S. Quakers, pacifists, and Earle
Reynolds in sending the yacht "Phoenix" with medical aid, first to
Haiphong, then on a second trip in the Fall of 1967, secking but
failing to find landfall to deliver medical aid to either North or
South Vietnam.

13. Attempted, but failed due to inability to obtain U.S. visa,
to send a BEHEIREN activist leader (MUTO Ichiyo) to the U.S. to
participate in the 21 October 1967 anti-Vietnam War demonstrations.

14. Currently carrying out a fund raising campaign to send an
aid ship to North Vietnam. In this, and other activities, BEHEIREN
leaders are maintaining ever closer liaison contact with their
counterparts abroad, such as the French "Conite" Vietnam National."
In an effort to generate public support for this aid ship fund
raising campaign, BENEIREN succeeded in issuing a public appeal,
under the endorsing signatures of Tokyo Governor MINOBE Ryokichi and
Yokohama Nayor ASUKATA Ichio, as well as the usual intellectuals
supporting BELEIREN.

15. In October 1967, BEREIREN solicited approval to hold anti-
Vietnam War demonstrations in front of the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo,
expecting to be denied and then intending to make this denial a court
test case. Instead, SEHEIREN was given this permission, and conducted
two crderly and well-publicized demonstrations in front of the American
Embassy, garuering a larger public turn out of participants than in
any previous BEHEIREN-sponsored demonstration.

16. Assisted and abetted the defection to the USSR of four
American sailors from the U.S. Navy carrier Intrepid. Following this
success, BELEIREN's most effective activity to date, BEREIREN leaders
are organizing a permanent "underground railway" of Japanese intell-
ectuals who will volunteer their homes as possible "way stops" for
hiding future U.S. military deserters that BEHEIREN now hopes to
induce.

The four deserters from the US aircraft carrier Intrepid who made a dramatic tele-
vision appearance Manday in Moscow are believed to have left Japan irregularly
by the Soviet-liner Baikal which left Yokohama on November 11 for the Far East
Soviet port of Nakhodko.

YUICHI YOSHIKAWA, secretary-general of the the Japan Peace-For-Vietnam Committee (Beheiren), tells a press conference Tuesday that the four deserters of the US warship Intrepid hoped to stay in Japan but the Beheiren could not help them to do so.

Prof. YOUNG Says Four American Deserter Seamen Not in Japan Any More
Went to Tokyo and Tried to Dissuade Them;
Probably Escaped from Japan on the 12th or the 13th
(New York, November 20, Correspondent Tadashi ONODERA) Professor
Ernest P. YOUNG of Dartmouth College in the U.S., consented to an interview
with this reporter on the question of the four American seamen who deserted
from the U.S. aircraft carrier Intrepid. At the interview held on the 19th,
Professor YOUNG clarified that the Peace for Vietnam Association (Beheiren,
with Makoto ODA acting as its representative) contacted an anti-war organiza-
tion in the U.S., and at this, Professor YOUNG hurriedly visited Tokyo, and
meeting the four seamen in a room in an apartment house in Tokyo on the 9th
and 10th, tried to persuade them to return. In regard to the pres ent where-
abouts of these four seamen, he made the noteworthy statement that "those
four were still in Japan, up puntil the night. night of the 11th, when I left I left Japan,
but they are probably no longer in Japan now

Families Perplexed

The questions and answers exchanged with Professor YOUNG are as follows:

- Why did you go to Japan?

Professor: Beheiren contacted David DERKINGER, a pacifist activist in the U.S., asking him to "send someone to Japan to hear the stories of the four seamen and announce them in the U.S." I have been in Japan twice, and I also once served as special assistant to Ambassador REISCHAUER. During that time, I became friends with Beheiren representative ODA' and other intellectuals in Japan. It was for these reasons that I was given this assignment. I personally have never participated actively in the Of anti-Vietnam war movement so far
the

-- When did you arrive in Japan, and where did you meet the four seamen?

Professor: I arrived. in Haneda on November 8, and met the four seamen Son the 9th and the 10th... The place of interview was in an apartment house ps in Tokyo, but I cannot say at this time where that apartment house was and awho owned it. However, on both days, I talked fully with these four seamen, ze for more than three hours on each occasion (according to an investigation made by the public security authorities, Professor YOUNG. arrived in Japan toward the evening of the 8th, and stayed at Hotel Tanakanwa in Shiba, s Minato-ku, until the morning of the 11th).

- What were the motives for these four seamen's 'desertion?

Professor: The desertion was completely the decision of these four persons. It seems that the four seamen decided not to return to the ship, when the Intrepid entered Yokosuka Port on October 17, and they were per- ou mitted to go ashore for rest for one week. My impression on meeting these four seamen was that they were definitely not deserting for the purpose of chself-advertisement or that they were giving false reasons. I am convinced that they deserted really out of doubt about the Vietnam war.

-- What were the movements of the four after they deserted?

Professor: On the night of the 23rd, two days before the Intrepid was due to sail, the four went to Shinjuku, and told the people whom they met at a bar they happened to visit, that "we are fed up with war." The Japanese who heard them sympathized with them, and at one time, the four lived with some hippies (according to this paper's investigations; they include Mr. K., a student of Tokyo University's Liberal Arts Department, and vanguard artist A., who gather at Fugetsudo in Shinjuku.) Finally,

they were taken to Beheiren by a student who spoke English (according to this paper's investigation, this was Mr. S., a Waseda University student). After that, they were hidden by Beheiren. I cannot say where they were hidden.

Were the four firmly determined to desert?

Professor: My purpose in visiting Japan was to dissuade the four.
I explained to them what the results of their desertion would be. I even told them that they would never again be permitted to stand on American soil, their fatherland. At the time I met them, it was still at a stage where they would only receive light punishment, if they reported back immediately, saying that they "had missed their ship.". However, their determination was firm, and my persuasion had no effects.

-- The four seamen's desertion was announced in the form of a press interview given by Beheiren. Were there no facts of their having been forced to desert, during that period?

Professor: I ascertained that point, too. However, they firmly denied any fact of their having been forced, saying that they had voluntarily aconsulted Beheiren as to whether they should publicly announce the "intention to desert, and if so, in what form this should be made.

-- Where are the four seamen.now, and where are they planning to go?

Professor: I am certain that the four of them were still in Japan, up until the lith, the day I left for home. However, they already knew fully well that it was not possible for them to obtain asylum in Japan. They even said that "we will probably have to go to some third nation, which is neutral." (The public security authorities judge that the four seamen left Japan immediately after Mr. YOUNG's persuasion, and consider that they probably were smuggled out of Japan after the 10th, and before the evening of the 13th, when Beheiren announced their désertion at a press conference. However, Mr. YOUNG says that the four seamen were in Japan up until the night of the lith. Therefore, the possibility is strong that they were smuggled out of Japan by ship, between the night of the 11th and the

--The films showing the four seamen were shown publicly in the U.S., by too. What were the reactions in the U.S.?

Professor: When the films were publicly shown, there was big excitement, with rows and rows of television and press cameramen. I thought I would be exposed to persistent questioning by the FBI and the CIA, after I returned home, but so far, I have only been questioned once by the Navy's. Intelligence Section, about the circumstances. It seems that American authorities con- cerned do not want to make too big a fuss over the matter.

What do the parents think of this act of this action taken by their sons?

Professor: A certain television station asked the mother of one of the four men about her son's life... This mother was completely perplexed, saying: "My son is a most average American youth. His school records were quite ordinary, and he liked sports just like any other student. I cannot understand why he acted in such a way!!..

MEMO FOR FILE

SUBJECT C : OTS (late TSD) and Jim McCord's Cuban Activities

1. Ben Colling phoned to say that one of the fellows in jail
is still around, and after he got out he inquired around and got no
indication that McCord was ever involved. None of the other OTS people
have any recollection of McCord's involvement.

2. I said that I was sure that the man who was rolled up
might not have any idea of McCord's involvement, if indeed he was
involved. If McCord's involvelement was merely headquarters planning
and no releasing operation was ever undertaken his role might never
surface. However, we had been told that planning did involve TSD
people at the time, along with security. For instance, I knew that
the Security man with TSD at the time had a job of hand-holding with
the families of the three men; there may be some TSD record of that
which would lead to someone who would know.

3. Colling was pulled out of a staff meeting to talk to me and
said he would call back later.

MEMORANDUM FOR: DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
SUBJECT
Summary of(STESCALADE - Audio Operation
Against the New China News Agency in Havana

1. In May 1959, the New China News Agency (NCNA) opened
an office in Havana in the El Medico Building which is occupied
partly by business concerns and partly used for residential apart-
ments. Shortly thereafter, the Havana Station obtained the con
currence of Ambassador Bonsal and Miss Carolyn O. Stacey, en
Embassy employee, to mount an audio operation against NCNA through
the wall of the adjacent apartment in which Miss Stacey lived. In
November 1959, the FE Division sent one case officer and one TSD
technician to Havana, and the installation of a microphone and tape
recorder was completed in Miss Stacey's apartment on 29 November
1959.

2. By June 1960, it had become evident that two other rooms
occupied by NCNA possibly housed communication equipment and
were used for conferences. At that time Bryan Mills) FE Division
case officer, went to Havana and explored the possibility of improving
the operation, He managed to lease an apartment directly over the
NCNA office and arranged for a stay-behind agent to occupy this space,

3. In August 1960, a team of three TSD technicians who were
in Havana on a separate SR Division operation agreed to install the
additional equipment required for the NCNA operation. A second FE
Division case officer, Robert Neet, came down to Havana; and he,
together with the technicians, installed probe microphone and tape
recorder in the apartment obtained by (Mills over the NCNA office.
About this time the equipment was removed from Miss Stacey's
apartment, with the exception of the plastic probe which was left
in the wall and plastered over,

4. As an additional security precaution to provide a safe
haven, and after consultation with the Acting Chief of Station, a key
to an apartment in the same building leased by Mrs. Marjorie
Lennox, an Embassy secretary, was cotained, Mrs. Lennox was
told that access to her apartment was needed for photographic
surveillance purposes,

5. The Station was then faced with the probability that time
and security would work against holding indefinitely the lease to
the apartment over NCNA since the owners of the building were
cancelling sub-lessors' contracts and recalling leases. It was,
therefore, decided to install transmitters and switches in order to
permit continued monitoring of the target from a distant listening
post. Another three-man team of TSD technicians consisting of
David L. Christ (alias Carswell), Walter E. Szuminski (alias
Taransky) and Thornton J. Anderson (alias Danbrunt) documented
as tourists had been sent to Havana to install audio equipment in the
Chinese Nationalist Embassy before it was due to be turned over to
the Chinese Communits. This operation aborted. This team was
then sent to work on the installation of the transmitters in the apart-
ment over the NCNA office.

6. At 2400 hours on 14 September, Christ, who with the
other technicians was working in the target apartment, failed to keep
a scheduled appointment with Neet. At 0100 hours on the 15th of
September, the apartment of Mrs. Lennox was entered into and
searched by Cuban authorities, and she was taken into custody. At
1540 hours on 15 September, Neet, the stay-behind agent and his wife-
were picked up by the Cuban authorities and detained.

7. As of today the agent remains in the custody of the Cuban
authorities, His wife has been released and is still in Havana, Neet
was released. 1715 hours 16 September and has subsequently returned..
to Washington where he is being debriefed. Mrs. Lennox was
subsequently released and has also returned to Washington where she
is being debriefed, The three TSD technicians remain in confinement,
They have been seen in confinement but not contacted by an Embassy
officer when he first attempted to secure the release of Mrs. Lennox.
Christ was last seen by Neet when they were jointly interrogated
the morning of 15 September. At that time Christ did not appear

to have been maltreated.

8. According to articles in the Cuban papers the three
technicians were arrested while in the apartment over the NCNA
office and completing the installation of the equipment. The
press article adds that the key to Mrs, Lennox's apartment was
found on one of the technicians who identified the apartment to
which it belonged. All Cuban press releases have referred to the
men by alias and have not. identified them as Government or Agency
employees. It is unclear at present what story had been agreed
upon by the technicians and station personnel to be used in the event
they were caught. (While being interrogated with Neet, Christ
indicated that Neet was his boss, and Neet consistently denied.any
knowledge as to why he was being held,) The sub-lease for the
apartment in which the men were caught is in the name of the stay-
behind agent with the original lease being in the name of Mills) the
FE Division Case Officer.

9. Initial information indicated that the three technicians would
be charged with espionage "against the people of China". Subsequent
press releases have been unclear on this point. An attempt by Consul
Hugh Kessler to contact the three men at 1730 hours on 17 September
was unsuccessful. He was not permitted to see them but was told
they were in custody.

10. The three technicians travelled to Cuba as tourists. under
very light commercial cover, two of them working for a company in
New York and the third, one in Baltimore. In each case the cover
company consists of a telephone answering service and a name on the
door. Telephone messages and mail are picked up periodically by an
Agency contract employee. The men were provided with this cover
as well as unbackstopped home addresses for use when entering or..

requires this information. Subsequent to their detention the home
addresses have been partially backstopped so that inquiries will
indicate that someone with this alias name had lived in the apartment

efforts are being made to provide a backstop to withstand inquiries
from the press should the Cubans reveal this information. In view

cf the thinness of the cover, it is uncertain whether this will succeed.

11. A cleared and wetting law firm in New York has been briefed
by Mr. L. Houston on the situation with the thought that inquiries
received by the cover company could be referred to the firm of
lawyers from whom no comment would be obtained by the press or
other inquirers. The law firm has been briefed on the entire situa-
tion so that they may be in a position to act if any action by them
appears desirable or feasible. It would not appear that much support
of any kind can be obtained from the law firm or the law firms.in

His father, a cook in a diner in the Boston area, has been contacted
by the Office of Security, and he will get in touch with Security if
he receives any inquiries on this matter. Security, by the same
token, will keep in touch with him as the Cubans reveal their inten-
tions and course of action.

13. The wives of the other two technicians have been told what
has happened and are being contacted at least once daily by TSD
staffers and their wives who have been briefed on the situation. A
conference with the two wives was held in TSD'on 19 September to go
over the whole situation and determine if there were any personal
problems on which the Agency could be of help. For the time being
the wives are telling their neighbors that their husbands are on a
trip. This story will be adjusted depending on what course of action
the Cuban Government takes, whether the aliases remain unbroken
and whether recognizable photographs of the individuals aze released
to the press. The two wives so far have taken the bad news exceedingly
well.

Subject: Reported Use of Yacht Potomac by Alpha 66

1. On 20 Nov 62 LAFO received an unsolicited telephone call on the
listed telephone number. The caller wanted to advise that there was reportedly
in the harbor at Long Beach a vessel., formerly used by the late Theodore
Roosevelt, called the Potomac. This vessel, according to the informant, was
being used by the Alpha 66 organization. She was believed taking on a carge
of weapons crated as Argentine beef, and destined to leave soon for Seattle.
He added that a Wes Davis had just signed on as an engineer, and there was
another character named Cliff Roberts on board. Both were described as bearded
adventurers.

2. The caller refused to identify himself, claiming that he did not
know whether contact with the Agency would be approved by his employer, and
further did not know whether or not the information was valid or of interest.
LCDR L. Lessing-
Lessing Long Beach,

3. In response to a call to the Intelligence Officer, UUCG, it was learned
that ther is a vessel, the Potowac, formerly one of the 155' USCG cutters.
For some time it had been used by the late F. D. Roosevelt as the presidential
yacht. Later it had been disposed of to the Maryland (State) Fish and Game
Commission, and more recently it had been acquired by the Hydra-Capital, Inc.,
41.0 West Coast Highway, Newport Beach, California (OR 5-1549).

4. USCG advised further that an investigator for the Los Angeles County
Prosecutor, D. L. Wheeler, had accepted an assignment (taking leave of absence
to do so) to bring the Potomac from the Barbados to California. The plan,
supposedly, was to make her a floating museum of some sort. On his arrival
in Bartados, Wheeler is reported to have found the craft in foul shape, with
only a single engine operative. He refused the job and returned to Los Angeles.
The craft later, however, did turn up in San Diego in October and was later
observed tied up in Cerritos Channel; Los Angeles harbor area; and subsequently,
she was moved back to San Diego, where it is presently in a shipyard. She
has since been painted, and appears to be undergoing some modifications to
her hull.
us Dept of Juskee - Frd. Beds I 4, Cal

5. The unidentified informant (paragraphs 1 and 2), subsequently identified
as Asst. US Attorney Bill Spivaky was re-contacted by telephone. It was
suggested to him that in the event any more information concerning the Potomac
and the likelihood of her use in any foreign activity came his way, we would
appreciate another call. On this occasion, Spivak volunteered the statement
that it was his understanding that the Cliff Roberts he had referred to pre-
viously had come from Barbados with the vessel. This was Spivak's first
reference to Barbados.

6. The above is for your information only. The sketchiness of the material
presented LAFO as well as the circumstances of its origin militate against its
credibility. As a consequence, no follow-up is anticipated unless requested.

**SUBJECT:** Robert Prachett/ Cuban Counterrevolutionary Group, Alpha-66
SECK
ADA(S) 3235549
BINY 45002
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
DATE: 31 August 1962

1.  We came in contact with a new source who will be a continuing one, known as Robert A. Pratchett, a US citizen with 27 years experience in Cuba who is currently in direct contact with a Cuban counterrevolutionary group in the US known as Alpha-66, and who is also in contact with anti-Castro Cubans wor ing in Havana. He will give us more detailed information during the coming weeks, and represent to us the ambitions, operations and proposed sabotage activities of Alpha-66 so that they can either be controlled, encouraged or discouraged, as the case may be from the viewpoint of those interested in Cuban action groups.

2.  Bio data on Prachett, for any prior clearance or interest in him, based on what he may present to us for consideration, is as follows:

    Date & Place of Birth - Oct 1918, Havana, Cuba (US citizen by birth)
    Education - University of Pennsylvania, 1940
    Employment - 1961 - Present H. H. Pike Co., New York and Havana
                 1958-1960 Brando and Co., Havana
                 1946-1958 Paramount Pictures International, Havana
                 1941-1945 US Army (Rank of Major)

    Present Address - 35 Walton Ave., New Providence, New Jersey

3.  Prachett, who appears to be a mature and loyal US citizen, 18 interested in being of the best possible service to the US Government in a non-pay status, in assisting where he can in terms of his detailed knowledge of Cubans, Cuba, and the Spanish language, which he speaks perfectly. Other than observing the plans of the Alpha-66 group as a potentially successful sabotage group, he is not affiliated with any counterrevolutionary group, but is now in business for himself as a private investor in a firm he owns and operates, called/PREFIXT Business Forms Inc., 60 East 42nd St., New York. He indicated that Alpha-66 plans were to blow all the power plants in Cuba.

TO : Chief, Contact Division
ATTN: Support Branch (Crowley)
FROM : Chief, Minneapolis Office
SUBJECT: Cuban Refugee Group
DATE: 31 August 1962

1. Enclosed are three names provided by George Hauer
of Cleveland, Ohio. These apparently are the leaders of the
Cuban group which you and I have discussed in some detail.
For the record, Hauer got in touch with me because we had
some rather extensive debriefing sessions in 1959, and
apparently he prefers to continue that relationship for the
present. Headquarters' records will show, however, that
he was interviewed by Gene Rittenburg in September 1960.

2. The Cubans listed on the enclosure are the leaders
of a small group which is shuttling back and forth to Cuba
for the purpose of establishing reception groups, taking in
medical supplies, ammunition and weapons, and to bring out
other Cubans who wish to leave the country. As you know
from our discussions, they are seeking help in the form of
supplies, etc. (Hauer understands that no help will be given
without some measure of control by our Agency, and he
agreed to provide the names for Agency consideration. The
third man on the list is of urgent consideration. Hauer
specifically requested that we treat any on-the-street
investigation with great care.

3. Please expedite any checking you might do and give
me your expression of interest as soon as possible. Hauer
is not an exceptionally patient man, and I certainly expect
to receive an inquiry from him in the near future. I believe
he is genuinely motivated and quite capable, and in his
present position of recruiting executive personnel for
Ernst & Ernst he could be quite useful to the Agency.

Subject: Specific Information concerning Lam A
ACTION REQUIRED None
In answer to request of Gregory G. SAMMAS, the following is a composite
of information from P. ALE (TOFU) (IFN 1) and VERALL N. ANDREEV
(IFN 2) concerning Lam A.

1. Description of subject: Between 30 and 40 years old, about 6 feet tall,
rather bald, well spoken, very strong and vigorous, Mao shirt taste, Jewish.
Speaks English and French. He is married and has one 9 or 10-year old daughter.
He has a sister in Nam Khart who is a materialized American citizen. May
always speak French; some English; has an impressive library; reads continuously
and paints very well.

2. Early during the war he was deported as a Jew to a German concentration
camp (tattooed prisoner's identification number on right forearm--0976), there
he spent several horrible years and survived only by luck. Since 1949 he has
spent part of his time in Laos and was apparently in intelligence or related
activities most of the time. (Former reports indicate that former map is located
1930-1932 connected in Laos by an officer from SDECE to neutralized operations and
was shortly afterwards declared persona non grata by the French).

3. Subject took part as a civilian in the Atlantic Operation, AO. According
to one report, was in this work as a means of money to make propaganda, buy off the
opposition, etc. (Lassa D) and MARKEN (LAM) collaborated in Lam A's
accomplishment in Central Viet Nam among the few notable achievements in that
area, particularly in respect to his contribution to the Vietnamese pacification
program which he coordinated throughout the course of Operation Atlantic.

4. Subject is an old friend of Col. Jean Gardeneral, former chief of UNIS
at Da Lat (Sam-1999). In one National Security Division, during
which time he proposed to VILLIEM joint operations--postal resources and experience
(similar to Banoi proposal, above) but VILLIEM refused, considered proposal pre-
varication resource.

5. March-April 1954, subject approached Station and USOM/ID for military
support for program to support smallness of a people's militia (month militia)
in the Hua Hong area. Information and correspondence on this proposal will be
sent upon request.

1. INTRODUCTION. As a follow up to reference, Maj. Watlington arrived in Miami on 6 June 1962. After Maj. Watlington had an op- portunity to discuss the local situation with Lt. Col. Carlos Causes the local ACSI representative, arrangements were made for a lengthy session on the subject of Agreed Activities. It was agreed that this discussion would take place at 1000 hours on 7 June 1962 at a JLWAVE safehouse facility. This meeting subsequently took place as scheduled and was participated in by Lt. Col. Causes, Maj. Watlington, Dudley R. JENTONS, Charles B. WIESINGER and Andrew K. REUTEMAN. The specific points which were outlined in this discussion are covered in the following paragraph.

2. DISCUSSIONS. In the course of the 7 June 1963, conversations with ACSI representatives the following topics worthy of recording were discussed.

a. Opa Locka Refugee Referral Procedures. Maj. Watlington made the point that in accordance with the agreements which had been reached between ACSI and KUBARK, local procedures were to be agreed upon in order that ACSI might obtain refugee referrals from Opa Locka which could be used as a basis upon which to mount OB collection operations. Maj. Watlington under- scored the point that ACSI had no interest or charter to run other than OB collection operations. At the came time if any of their operations produced intelli- gence on subject matter other than OB, this intelligence would be reported via existing ACSI reports channels. REUTELLAN indicated that JMWAVE, acknowledged the validity of ACSI's mission in the OB field, and we were therefore willing to cooperate fully in this regard. On the other
lung vē Hổlieved that it was essential that certain

safeguards bo built into any Opa Locka referral in order that we could minimize the possibilities for duplication of effort and/or wire crossing. This concept was readily accepted by Maj. Watlington. It did not, however, strike a totally responsive chord in Lt. Col. Causes. This was noted but in order to proceed with preliminary arrange- ments, REUTENAN put forth the proposal that ACSI register a list of ugent requirements with Opa Locka and that this list could then be used as a basis upon which refugee screenings could be conducted. It was suggested that Col. Kail would be the logical point of reference in Opa Locka through which the referral system could be managed. In this connection it was pointed out that once Col. Kail identified an individual whom he considered to be pri- marily of ACSI interest, he could arrange for this indi- vidual to be referred to Lt. Col. Causes' covert unit. At the same time Col. Kail would make arrangements to pass to KUBARK representatives at Opa Locka and to Station JMWAVE a copy of the Opa Locka debriefing of the individual who had been referred to ACSI. Upon receipt of this in- formation KUBARK representatives at Opa Locka and at Station JMWAVE would review the referral. If this review revealed that the individual was not of operational interest to JWAVE and his primary access was not in fields other than OB, no objections would be expressed relative to ACSI retention and full exploitation of the body. Maj. Watlington expressed satisfaction with this proposal and stated that he would be prepared to discuss it further once he had an opportunity to personally review the func- tioning of the Opa Locka center.

b. Antonio CUESTA Valle. Lorn 13 June 1926. Lt. Col. Causes asked if we could clarify the current status of our relationship with Cuesta. As this name did not ring a bell with any of the JMWAVE representatives, Lt. Col. Causes was asked for further details. This produced the statement that ACSI was interested in Cuesta, and wanted to use him in an infiltration operation. ACSI had allegedly previously traced Cuesta with Station JLWAVE and had re- coived the reply that KUBARK had been in touch with the individual but had terminated him because he was unreliable. In view of this response Lt. Col. Causes wanted to know whether we would recommend the reuse of Cuesta by ACSI. We responded to this by stating that we would review our files and would forward a written reply to Lt. Col. Causes within the next few days.
c. RE. 40 by another 45. Agency June 1 Lt. Laureano BATISTA Falla. Born 1 May 1935. Col. Causes asked if we still retained an operational interest in Batista If we did not ACSI was interested in using this individual in an infiltration operation and as a result wanted JLWAVE's opinion as to Batista's capability and reliability.

d. Antonio ORDONEZ Hernandez. Born 24 August 1918. Lt. Col. Causes asked if we were currently in touch with Ordonez. As this name rang a bell with REUTEMAN we reny- sponded by stating that subject tas of interest to us. In this connection we indicated we were willing to reexamine Our relationship with Ordonez in order to determine his full potential or capability, and if his capability was greater in the OC field than in fields which were of interest to us, we would certainly consider relinquishing our interest reexamine 24

Lt. Col. Causes stated that he felt that he had established his equity in Ordonez through the name trace procedure. Despite this, he had found that Ordonez had disappeared from circulation; and, there- fore, he assumed that we were debriefing this man.

REUTEMAN asked the
Third Country Diplomats. e. ACSI representatives whether they were currently in touch with any third country diplomats. Liaj. Watlington stated that LACSI had previously tried to harness the 24 capabilities of the Spanish, Uruguayan and Canadian diplomatic pouches. Coordination of these activities with KUBARK had resulted in ACSI's being denied the use of these facilities. As a result Maj. Watlington stated that at the present time ACSI was not in touch with any third country, diplomats. On the other hand, ACSI was interested in pursuing the third country diplomatic channel is a means of establishing communications with inside assets. At this point Lt. Col. Causes stated that he was very disappointed at KUBARK's refusal to allow him to use the facilities of the Spanish, Uruguayan 24 or Canadian pouches. It was indicated that KURARK under- stood I. Col. Causes' reaction; however, the KUBARK position was based on sound security principles and could not be altered. The additional explanations which were made relative to the security implications which were inherent in the use of third country diplomats and how misuse could affect long standing government to government or service to service agreements between ODYOKE and free world countries did not make any impact on Lt. Col. Causes. This gentleman was predisposed to interpret KUBARK's refusal to allow him to use certain 24 diplomatic pouch channels as a clear indication that Fone-of KUBARK's primary responsibilities in the Miami area was to restrict and inhibit ACSI operational activity. Once this attitude was identified no further attempts were made to persuade Lt. Col. Causes that our actions had been taken in the best interests of the intelligenco community.

f. Maritime Infiltration of ACSI Agents. A dis- cussion of those support services which KUEATK might render to ACSI operations revealed that Lt. Col. Causes was still interested in having JIWAVE infiltrate two of his agents into PBRUMEN. In this connection the point was made by ACSI that under optimum circumstances they would prefer that JMWAVE assume responsibility for the agents in the Miami area and then deliver them through a secure mechanism to liavana. If this were not possible ACSI would reluctantly accept infiltration of their agents into any point in PBRUMEN. Lt. Col. Causes was told in very precise terms that JIWAVE would not undertake to infiltrate any of his agents into Havana. On the other hand, we would consider any proposal for the infiltration of selected agents to a beach area in PBRUMEN. The point was made that in this connection Lt. Col. Causes had to understand that our maritime capabilities were limited and we were currently committed to the full exploitation of these assets for at least six weeks in advance. As a result any operational plan which he might submit to us should be koyed to the assumption that approximately six to eight weeks would pass before we could realistically consider the servicing of his request. Lt. Col. Causes agreed to project his operational plans within this frame of reference.

6. Documentation. A discussion of the documentation problem relative to agent infiltrations revealed that at the moment ACSI did not have any documentation problems which they felt warranted discussion at this session.

h. Coordination Forms. The discussion of opera- tiopal coordination revealed that ACSI was willing for JLWAVE to coordinate locally those operational proposals which might be received from Lt. Col. Causes. Once this coordination was effected and if there were disagreement, then the operation could be referred to the Washington headquarters of both ACSI and JMWAVE. Maj. Watlington stated that the forms for effecting coordination in ac- cordance with procedures which had been agreed upon at Washington would be sent to both JMWAVE and the ACSI unit in Miami in the near future. In view of this Maj. Watlington suggested that we not initiate the coordination mechanism until these forms were on hand circa 1 July 1962.

In
1. W/T Assets. The discussion of the use of W/T facilities in terms of PBRUMEN operations revealed that the Miami ACSI unit did not have any W/T assets in PBRUMEN at this time. On the other hand, Lt. Col. Causes was interested in establishing W/T assets in PBRUMEN. view of his he asked if JMWAVE would continue to assess, polygraph and train those individuals that ACSI thought were suitable W/T candidates. It was indicated that we were certainly prepared to review all appropriate cases and would render whatever support was required. This then resulted in a discussion of whether JMWAVE would be willing to monitor ACSI W/T transmissions from PBRUMEN in those instances where the W/T operator had not been assessed, polygraphed or trained by KUBARK. We indicated that we would be glad to moniter,such transmissions if we were told in advance of the date, time and frequencies on which the broadcasts were to be made. This then led to a dis- cussion of whether JMWAVE would be willing to transmit C/W messages for ACSI agents. Here again, we stated that we would favorably consider any requests for C/W trans- missions providing that we knew the content of the message, the identity of the agent who was to receive it, and the agent's location and equipment which he might be using. Lt. Col. Causes stated that in view of this discussion we could anticipate that he would be levying requirements on us in the near future for support in the W/T field.

j. Secret Writing. A discussion of S/W techniques revealed that if a request for the issuance of S/W were recoived from their Miami representative it would be re- viewed, and if ACSI approved the operation KUBARK would be asked to issue a system. If JMWAVE agreed via local coordination that the operation in question required the use of S/W, then this recommendation would be cabled to our Washington Headquarters where coordination would be effected with ACSI. Once this was accomplished, KUBARK Washington would cable to JMWAVE the number of the system which was to be issued. JMWAVE would then issue the system to the ACSI representative in Miami.

3. COMMENT. At the conclusion of the above discussion arrange- ments were made for lunch, but Lt. Col. Causes chose not to partici- pate in the luncheon session. During the luncheon conversation Maj. Watlington indicated that he did not believe that Lt. Col. Causes would cooperate within the spirit of the DCID's. As a result he asked that JMWAVE be extremely patient with ACSI until such time as Lt. Col. Causes retired and could be replaced. Maj. Watlington

indicated that the retirement was scheduled to take place at the end of September 1962. At the end of the luncheon session ar- rangements were made for JENTONS to take Maj. Watlington on a tour of Opa Locka. Based on this tour additional discussions vere to be held with Maj. Watlington particularly in regard to the development of procedules for referral of agents to ACSI from the Opa Locka flow.

4.
OPA LOCKA. Maj. Watlington and JENTONS subsequently went out to the interrogation center at Opa Locka. Here they had an interview with Col. Kail, the tenor of which was, on the part of Maj. Watlington, to assure himself that the ACSI repre- sentative, Francasi, was having adequate access to operational leads. Col. Kail said that operational leads were shared ac- cording to their abilities between the KUBARK representative and the ACSI man. However, there were occasional difficulties in assuring that the men best qualified received the body in question. In addition, he said KUBARK occasionally pulled a man out of the Center without his completing the full treatment which precluded the ACSI representative's getting his hands on someone who might be well qualified for their operations. Maj. Watlington believed that assurance that the ACSI representative got a fair deal might be achieved through a more complete briefing of Col. Trudencio Ulibarri, who is in charge of the preliminary screening so that he would more fully understand what was needed. JENTONS said that this would be a very good idea, but that it would be better if it were a dual briefing with a KUBARK representative being present as well. Maj. Watlington said that he would ask his headquarters for permission to have such a briefing given. Col. Kail expressed his opinion that the assignment of JENTONS to formal liaison with the ACSI representatives would do much to eliminate present difficulties and all present echoed this pious thought.

5. AGREEMENT. When JENTONS turned Maj. Watlington over to Lt. Col. Causes after the meeting at Opa Locka, the two ACSI representatives said that they believed that, for the time being, it would be better to continue the system as at present, pending JENTONS' permanent arrival at the beginning of July 1962. As. Lt. Col. Causes is obviously skeptical about the outcome, this was agreed to as a stopgap measure.

1. The Information Council of the Americas (INCA) of 620 Gravier Street,
New Orleans, Louisiana, was recently opened as a source of foreign intelligence
information on the radio broadcasting industry in Latin America. The current
program of INCA is primarily concerned with the dissemination of taped record-
ings of anti-Communist material, called Truth Tapes, to certain radio broad-
casting stations in Latin America and North America for use as a weapon against
Communist penetration in the Americas. Its headquarters are located at 620
Gravier Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130. You will find the names of its
officers, directors, and consultants given on the enclosed letterhead of the.
organization.

2. We have been in recent contact with Edward Scannell Butler, Executive
Vice President and Staff Director, and have received his assurances of whole-
hearted cooperation in our agency's mission. Yesterday we examined all of the
files of correspondence between Mr. Butler and personnel of various radio
stations in 16 Latin American countries. In order to build up a market for
the Truth Tapes program in Latin America, Mr. Butler first obtained from the
appropriate consul in New Orleans a list of the radio stations in operation in
his country. He next wrote the administrative personnel of these stations
about the anti-Communist purpose of INCA and offered to supply each station
with Truth Tapes. Those stations requesting them were then provided with a
series of the tapes. One or two years later, Mr. Butler sent the participating
station a questionnaire designed to elicit information about audience response
to the Truth Tapes program. Copies of the first questionnaire and of a revised
one are attached for your information. Judging by the responses we read, the
INCA correspondence files will provide a limited amount of information, dated
1964 and 1965, on the identification of radio stations in Latin America which
are broadcasting Truth Tapes, their addresses, the names of key personnel, the
identification of stations not responding to the INCA offer, sizes of audiences,
and their responses. In the case of Uruguay, the exchange of correspondence
between Mr. Butler and Dr. Martin Migueo-Narancio Contained information about
the political orientation of key radio personnel in Montevideo/110-106717.
This example, however, is an exception, since the files contain virtually no
detailed political information of significance.

3. Mr. Butler mentioned yesterday that, inasmuch as he was again revising
the questionnaire, he would welcome our sugestions about additional topics. We
suggested questions designed to elicit technical information about the station
and its equipment, such as descriptions (manufacturer, type, model) of trans-
mitter, receiver, antenna type and power, frequencies and frequency range, reli-
ability of equipment, normal and emergency power sources, remote pick-up arrange-
ments, etc. We stressed of course that none of these topics should be introduced
into the questionnaire unless Mr. Butler was convinced of their suitability for
his immediate purpose as well as for the long-term propaganda aim of his organi-
zation. He stated that our suggestions were entirely proper and, in his opinion,
were reasonable requests that would not arouse the station manager's curiosity.
We pointed out to Mr. Butler that, while information about key personnel and
their political orientation, about the station's administrative policies, etc.,
was of prime importance to us, these subjects obviously could not be introduced
into the questionnaire. He agreed that it would be better to elicit such infor-
mation in another manner, as he had done with Dr. Miqueo-Narancio, but because
of his very heavy responsibilities, he did not have time to develop similar
sources of information in each of the other 15 countries.

4. It occurs to us that you or a possible consumer could assist us by
suggesting other appropriate topics for Mr. Butler's consideration in the revision
of the questionnaire. We shall appreciate whatever help you can give us in this
regard.

5. In the meantime, as soon as all of Mr. Butler's current correspondence
has been properly filed, we expect to extract the appropriate information from
the folders and to present the material in a series of 00-B reports.

1. A source of this office has just advised us that he received
a Christmas card (1962) from Maurice Halperin on which the return address
was given as: "Apt C-2, Calle 12, no 103, Miramar, Habana, Cuba." The
only message on the card was one of Christmas greetings. Helperin and
our source have known each other for a number of years and they always
exchange Christmas cards. This is the first one Halperin has sent with
a Cuban address on it. The last time that our source saw Halperin was
in Moscow when he (the former) was visiting in the USSR during August-
September 1961 as part of an official US delegation.

2. In view of Halperin's past activities and associations, we are
making this information known to you. Our source comments that Helperin
always seems to show up wherever there is some sort of activity going
on.

Summary

4. AMFAUNA-1 is a Cuban national who was recruited and trained in
the United States and returned legally to Cuba(in March 1961 to serve as 24
resident agent in Havana.) Since then he has built a net (of over twenty 24
sub-agents and has sent back 140 S/W messages, from which upwards of
fifty intelligence disseminations have been made. He is highly
motivated for his work and under effective control by JMWAVE. The
quality of his production is, for the most part, very good and improving
although he is at times distracted by an understandable interest in
para-military operations. Operationally he is very skillful; however,
he has been known to take unnecessary risks. There is no reason to
think that he is under hostile control nor that the operation is likely
in the future to be turned against us. There is, however, the real
risk that he may one day fall into a G-2 trap baited with the Escambray
guerrillas. If so, this will be due to the fact that contact with the
guerrillas was his first assignment and, although he has been re-
directed to intelligence collection, he sometimes seems to feel that
he has failed in his primary mission. This, plus the fact that he
evident believes that the end is now very close, is apt to make him.

skillful in the practice of security. He has built a false identity
which he uses wherever possible in his operational contacts, he is
usually selective and cautious in his choice of collaborators, he
takos pains to check on the security of his sub-agents, and he uses
a system of cutouts for much of his work.

name of "Julie ROJO"TE ROJO7Evidently he is now living the part of (Julio 07

one of his S/W messages he asked that the widow of AMCUSP-1 be warned
not to reveal that ("Julio") is in Cuba. Since AMFAUNA-1 is in Cuba

that she should not reveal that AMFAUNA-1 and ("Julio ROJO") are07.

7. In recruiting sub-agents, AMFAUNA-1 relies primarily on his
own judgment and intuition. If he approves of a person, he will
recruit him. However, he has shown himself to be very cautious in
granting his approval. He has reported two persons whom he does not
completely trust because, while otherwise well qualified, they drink.
too much and are indiscreet. For two other examples, AMBOA-1 and
LITAU-5 approached him separately and revealed their relationship with
KUBARK, hoping to collaborate with him; AMFAUNA-1 treated them both
with reserve while he checked them out with JMWAVE. He has submitted 04
the names of other contacts for checking. In the case of AMFAUNA-4, Go
whom he recruited without prior checking because time did not permit
it, he put his misgivings in writing: "Right away AMFAUNA-1 arranged
for a personal interview, taking utmost precautions, since we have
had sad previous experiences with members of CASTRO's armed forces."

an independent eye on the former's security. On more than one occasion
he has reported that one of his sub-agents is under G-2 surveillance,
and that for the time being he is staying away from him.

9. In general AMFAUNA-1 seems to trust in the efficiency of his
security precautions. On 25 February 1962 he reported that Identity
11 had been caught, but that he was in no danger because he had been
compartmented from her. This compartmentation is achieved by the use
of five cutouts: AMFAUNA-2, AMFAUNA-3, AMFAUNA-4 AMBOA-1, and
AMFAUNA 5, who maintain contact for AMFAUNA-1 with most if not all of
his sub-agents. Chart A, which shows AMFAUNA-1 in direct contact with
AMFAUNAS 7 through 13, may be in error on this point. It would be
more in keeping with AMFAUNA-1's known modus operandi for him to have
cutouts between himself and these sub-agents. If there is a cutout or
cutouts here, their identity is not yet known. There may also be an
unreported cutout between AMFAUNA-1 and AMFAUNA-4.

AMFAUNA-1 has not been explicit on this point, but it is
believed that he shares his favors between them. If so, he has the
best of cover for his relations with them. It also clarifies the
otherwise puzzling picture of a legal resident of Cuba sleeping in a
different bed each night. This practice must certainly reduce the
possibility that the C-2 will pick him up for routine questioning.

Communications:
11. The bulk of AMFAUNA-1's communications come via S/W. His
méssages to JMWAVE are sent to accommodation addresses serviced by
AMPAN-2 and AMCUTLER-1. JMWAVE's messages to him are addressed to
AMFAUNA-14. AMFAUNA-1 can also(diplomatic couriers) for sending

ly defected. AMFAUNA-1's last mention of her was on 15
November when he reported that she had given him a map show-
ing artillery installations on the south coast of Las Villas,
It is possible that AMFAUNA-1 has broken contact with her,
but since he has not reported having done so it is considered
1961 as his cutout to Identity-14, (a a Cubana Airlines Pilot)
more likely that she remains his cutout to two Cubana Airlines 08

him.

time as AMFAUNA-18. Although AMFAUNA-1 did not
explicitly say so, it can be inferred that he and

that the identities of all these people have not yet been
reported, but they seem to be effective. On 29 May 1962
AMFAUNA-1 reported the arrival of an undocumented Soviet plane
at Rancho Boyeros, and forwarded the passenger list which he
said one of his agents had obtained clandestinely. Following

of the German Intelligence Service. The JMWAVE case officer who

children, all still in Cuba(as of March 1961) However, it is noted
that the two children have different matronymics, that neither of them
is his wife's last name, and that all three dependents have different
addresses. It is assumed that this is his third wife. Since AMFAUNA-1
has never mentioned her in any of his S/W correspondence, it is also
assumed that she has gone the way of her two predecessors.
01.
18. AMCUTLER-1) who was questioned on this point, said that his
Drother is living in (Guanabacoa) with his present wife, that he has been
married only once before and has only one child from the first marriage

directly contradicted by AMFAUNA-1's PRO Part I which he wrote him-
solf, but it is included here for what it may be worth. AMCUTLER-1)0/
added that his brother has no sexual relations with his sub-agents
except what is considered normal and acceptable by Cuban standards.

19. The elements of AMFAUNA-1's motivation, then, include an
adventurous spirit and a taste for clandestine work. Although "anti-
Communism" may be an overworked expression, it would seem to apply in
the case of AMFAUNA-1, gif his former membership in the Falange) and the
(German Intelligence Service)can be taken as indicators. Also included
should be the loss of a (freight forwarding business) which started out
promisingly in 1959 but folded up after a year of CASTRO's revolution-
ary government. Finally, although these factors did not yet exist
in January 1961 when he was recruited, AMFAUNA-1 is certainly affected
now by the death of AMCUSP-1 and the imprisonment of his father.)
Control
이
08
20。 It is evident from his S/W messages that AMFAUNA-1 derives
great personal satisfaction from his work against the CASTRO regime.
His connection with KUBARK provides him with the means to do this work.
This is believed to be a strong element of control. There have been
many opportunities to test this control, by ordering AMFAUNA-1 to do
something or to desist from doing something else, and the control is
believed to be effective.
Previous History of the Operation - January to May 1961:
21. AMFAUNA-1 was engaged in some form of clandestine work against
the CASTRO regime as early as (December 196009 As with so much else in
this operation, details are lacking, but it is known that he already
had an understanding with Identity-29 whom he had known for twenty
Vears.06 In December 1960, Identity-29 introduced AMFAUNA-1 to Identity-
27, Can MAR coordinator from Matanzas, who had been introduced to..
Identity-29 by one of the members of her group, Identity-28. Identity-
37.in in turn brought in Identity-26, (a fellow MAR Coordinator.

22. In January 1961, AMEAUNA-10 came legally to the United States
together with AMCUSP-1) and AMCUTLER-1) and looked up their old friend
AMJAG-4, who at that time was heavily engaged in work with the
resistance groups. AMJAG-4 introduced them to a JMWAVE case officer
who instructed them to return to Cuba, to form contacts with as many
resistance groups as possible, and to report their progress through
CAMRUNG-1) who was JMWAVE's principal agent in the paramilitary field.
Also imlthe JMWAVE area at this time were Identity-19 and Identity-23

HEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT:
Backstopping of Cover by the Research Institute of America

1. Pursuant to conversations between Mr. Rose and Mr. Engels of
CIA/ope and Mr. Travis of 00/Contacts, an appointment was made for Mr. Ross to see Mr. Leo Cherne, Executive Secretary of the Research Institute of America, 292 Madison Avenue, New York City, to explore the willingness of Mr. Cherme to backstop the cover story of a proposed agent in training. The appointment was made, and kept, for Wednesday. morning, 23 January 1952 in New York City in the presence of Mr. Clark of the New York branch of the Contacts Division.

2. The proposed story of the agent in question, who had bein employed on the economic research side of ECA specializing in Italy, was that he wished to resign from ECA and take up an offer to be extended to him in civilian employment. Since the Research Institute of America ssamed to fit in naturally with his background and activities in ECA, Mr. Cherne was asked:

a. If he would backstop the agent's story that he was quitting ECA to take employment with the Pesearch Institute of America during his three months period of training with CIA, and

b. Whether he would in fact employ the agent and send him as a representative of the Institute to Italy at the conclusion of his period of training.
Hr. Cherne replied that unfortunately the latter was impossible inasmuch as his company did not send personnel overseas in any capacity. As regards the immediate backstopping of the agent's story, however, Mr. Cherne said that he would be happy to oblige for a period of training only, to wit, three months, after which other cover would have to be sought. Mr. Cherne requested that he be furnished at an early date with more complete information as to what was to be expected of him in his role as a backstop and further stated that he would like to meet the agent personally as soon as could be arranged. This has been communicated to Mr. Engels, the case officer, who will oblige at the earliest opportunity.

1. This will confirm Mr. Rose's verbal request that the
Contact Division/00 ask its Boston field office to arrange
appointments for Mr. (Edward Rose of Cover Division, PLANS/со,
to see Mr. William A. Barron, Chairman of the Board, Gillette
Safety Razor Company, and Mr. John E. Toulmin, Senior Vice
President of the First National Bank of Boston, at their con-
venience on Wednesday May 21, 1952. The purpose of the visit
is to explore the willingness of these gentlemen to act as
ostensible donors of funds to support a current operation.

2. This will also confirm Mr. Rose's request that the
New York City field office of the Contact Division/00 arrange
an appointment for Mr. Rose to see lar. Leo Cherne, President
of the Research Institute of America at Ar. Cherne's conven-
ience on Thursday May 22, 1952. Mr. Cherne, who has for some
time been backstopping the activities of an agent in this
country, has apparently expressed willingness to provide
cover for this agent abroad. The purpose of the interview is
to discuss more fully Mr. Cherne's proposal. Cover Division
would be happy to have an 00 field office representative
present to insure continuity.

3. As a result of the above requests, Mr. Barron found
to his regret that he was unable to cooperate with the Agency
at the present time. Mr. Toulmin, on the other hand, was
most cooperative. Mr. Cherne, unfortunately, was out of town.
The New York field office has been asked to try to arrange a
meeting with Mr. Cherne, as outlined above, for Wednesday
afternoon, June 4, 1952.

Creltrinary Cebriefing
T...: 13 May 1955, 2030-2100.
1. Frior to my departure for New York to handle the preliminary
debriefing of THERIA LI, I discussed the following subjects with CNEA-5:
1) In view of the fact that THERIAULT's expenses on her recent
rip to India have been greater than was anticipated, 1,000
alditional funds have or are to be shortly deposited to her bank.
This will be done by sterile check. It is to be accounted for
under the terms of the original contract.
2) CIFA-5 suggested that take her reports up with me for
possible annotation and expansion. Upon examination on 14 May,
this apears unfeasible in view of the fact that there are CIA
comro indicators and RI symbols attached directly to the reports.
3) CNEA-5 surested that pursue with THEKTAULT the
possibility of developing an interest in Krishna Menon, utilizing
a cleared publisher who could request Menon to write a book. This
a proach to be based on Menon's acute susceptability to flattery.
4) CNEA-5 suggested that THE LAULT be asked to review the
areas of her influence in order to lay the groundwork for an
official invitation to visit this country being extended to the
Crime Minister in the future. He suggested Sen. George and
Chester Bowles as possible points of departure.
5) THERIAULT is to be informed that her reports have been
of it measurable assistance to the Ambassador and to the U.S.
Government vis-a-vis policy planning for India.
6) THERIAULT is to be asked to come to Washington for a day
or se in the very near future for further debriefing. This is
to be arranged at her convenience.
7) In view of the fact that THERIAULT has been unwitting
of the Agency's role in sponsoring her trip, I suggested that I
now make ner witting in terms of the security involved.
It
seemed advisable to me since it is likely that there will be
future contacts with TORIAULT. ONEA-5 agreed to this.
8) THER LAULT is to be advised that she is at liberty to
discuss any and all aspects of her trip with anybody with the
e: ception of the Agency's role in sponsoring it.

2) In view of the vast amount of work that must be done,
suggested that plan to spend two days 16 and 17 May -
If it becomes neces.ary. On previous trips to discuss
ESIAULT's mission with her, I found that she frequently
"ad other commitments which made it difficult to cover
adequately the material which I had amassed. If this is the
case on this trip, I should prefer not to press her. One
day's latitude seems the better part of wisdom. CNLA-5
agreed. We shall see, however.
100 In the event that it becomes necessary to reach me,
surgest that my wife be asked to get in touch with me,
08(Jackson 7-7018)) and that I be asked simply to call my

A very good project has recently bee: Launched. It is
criled The Delhi fraining and Orientation contro for
Foreign Technici: ne in India. This is the second time it
hne been held, held, I think. It begins today, Jan. 24. Contimes
for two weeks. (The first one worked out a fine short
bibliography on India, and a little brochure on "Foods
available in North India.) This second course covers
the Indian village, with visits out to villages, Indian
art, prchitecture, chitecture, dance; Indian history, religion, Islam
in India, other religions and philosophies; Indian family
life and customs, health problems and resuroca, educational
problems, urben problems, Fural unemployment and aid, tho
role of foreign sid in India, discussion of the Five year
Plan.
It is the kind of briefing that every foreigner coming to
Indid, shound have. It is open to all of then we were
invited simply es queste and shali attend many of the meetings.
Pilas are shown; trips to art galleries and museums eto.
Miss Hersey has had much to do with this; also Dr. Douglas
Esninger. And probably others, too. Indians will do most
of the briefing.

I shall write later about the Five Year Plan. Am still
studying it. Shall have a number of interviowa with the
plannere, or with a few of then. shall also go out on several
of the projects. This secns important to ne for social
changes, and how they are made broci politics. The political
picture oan cert-inly not be understood if the cultural and
social pictures are not studied and analysed carefully.
We are enclosing e fea excerpte of specahes made by
Mr. Nehru, ur. Menon, and Ir. Uhuber this poet wook at the
Congress Party big gathering.
