1. Al Thompson recently asked me for my opinion
of Hargrave Secret Service, 6 West Randolph Street,
Chicago, insofar as Cover potential is concerned.

2. Chicago Field Office files contain no infor-
mation on the company. The Chicago telephone directory
reflects the company was formed in 1888 and has offices
and/or representatives in the principal cities of the
world. (See attached Redbook ad).

3. Local FBI contacts had no information concern-
ing the company. Albert Johnson, an ex-FBI man who has
operated a private detective agency in Chicago for years
told me that George R. Hargrave is sole owner and is
the son of the founder. Mr. Johnson described Hargrave
as a big, 250 pound man who has been married five times.
In business, he is the type to put on a big show and is
not averse to putting more men than necessary on a job
in order to charge his client a higher price and profit
accordingly. Mr. Johnson said that, although Hargrave
advertises offices throughout the world he doubts that
these are any more than investigative correspondents.

4. A casual inquiry put to Richard Cain, Chief
Investigator, Cook County Sheriff's Office, brought forth
the comment that Cain distrusts Hargrave. He said he
knows him personally and does not regard him as a discreet
person.

5. In view of the above, Cover may want to reconsider
using Hargrave.

The day after her husband's arrest, 16 September 1960, Mrs. Christ
said her husband suffered a "nervous" collapse, to be alleviated by an American
physician. Mrs. Christ was asked not to discuss her husband's case with that
physician.

Mrs. Christ said very little knowledge of the functions or activities
performed by her husband, and very little of his experience in the audio
surveillance fields. Moreover, conversations, security and audio
surveillance were relatively new to her.

Mrs. Christ was advised that her husband was Chief of the Audio
Operations Branch, and that this branch carried out requests within the
organization for the surreptitious installation of microphones and other
listening devices. She was given a breakdown of this branch, including
all personnel assignments and particular assignments undertaken on a world wide
basis. Mrs. Christ was established as knowing that her husband's assignment
in Havana was clandestine and dangerous. She knows that the technicians
subsequently to prison were "technicians", not U.S. citizens. Mrs. Christ
was reminded that subsequent to the Bay of Pigs Agency fiasco, Mrs. Christ
was told that her husband, two other employees of the organization, a
State Department employee and an agent were apprehended by the Cuban Castro
Government and told that the State Department employee, Robert D. Asmus (phonetic)
(believed by Cuban counterintelligence was actually the Russian officer under
State Department cover). Although the name of the agent (Fordson) was
not mentioned at this time, Mrs. Christ read about him in various news
paper accounts at the time of the trial. Mrs. Christ was also told
that the operational indulgence that her husband represents, if disclosed
to the Cubans, would not only cause considerable damage to the United
States Government, but would also entail extensive and probably brutal
interrogation of her husband by the Cubans and probably the Russians as
well. She was not advised of other operations involving her husband.

Mrs. Christ was shown as much information as possible about Mr. Christ's
career history. He was employed by a "cover" organization, "Vachats Associates",
located in New York City and had been provided with alien documentation,
such as a driver's license and a Social Security number. Christ under-
stood the reasons for this "cover" since it was easier for her husband to
pass as a bachelor than to absorb the appearance of a family. At no time
were the movements or activities of his Washington to London travel, prior to
their arrest, been discussed with Mrs. Christ. Mrs. Christ was informed.

that in the event of danger the technicians planned to escape to an
apartment which was occupied by an unwitting State Department secretary.

Since the initial interview, Mrs. Christ has gradually picked up
additional information, mostly from newspaper articles, about the opera-
tion and subsequent trial. It is believed that Mrs. Christ has not
obtained any clandestine information about the operation other than that
told to her by Agency in this interview. At the present time, she does
not seem too interested in the operational aspects of the case, nor the
motives for her husband's actions. At the time of the trial, what little
"highly parental" and "highly technical" information was previously
discussed with
her, she was reminded of the fact that (Fordson) possessed a double identity. Rather,
that she has been instructed not to seek any "breakdowns" about his actions per his
present whereabouts.

Mrs. Christ was informed that Mr. Kessler, who was the Department of
State Welfare Officer in Havana at the time of the technicians arrest,
had contacted the prisoners shortly after their arrest. She was told
that Mr. Kessler was advising the technicians from morality and was
able to verbally transmit their statements, since their bail.
Mrs. Christ spent some moneys through Kessler to her husband, prior to
the severance of diplomatic relations. She was also aware of Kessler's
activities in behalf of the technicians and knows that he expended monies
with obtaining money, cigarettes, clothing, candy and other items as requested.
She was told that Kessler hired Dr. Colomer, a Cuban National, to serve
as the technicians attorney. In May 1961, Kessler visited Washington, D.C.
to consult with Agency officers on the conditions in the prisons
of other Government employees.

Mrs. Christ also knows that Dr. Colomer left Havana with his wife
in June 1961 and had has been brought to Washington, D.C. was associated
with Government personnel. She has been told that another Cuban attorney
was hired by Dr. Colomer to represent the technicians and handle the case
when the appeal is heard. It is not indicated that Mrs. Christ should
know about the Washington attorney, Mr. Gusky, but she appears to be
acquainted with the name.

Mrs. Christ has learned from newspaper articles that there are
about 20 American prisoners of Wa Ta's of Flores and that conditions
at the prisons are extremely poor. She also knows that food is brought
to the technicians by a Cuban prisoner who occupies a cell with the
technicians. She can recall that Dr. Colomer saw the technicians a
few days prior to his departure that they were in good spirits and
that Mr. Kessler constantly worked in the prison.

In defense knowledge of specific operations undertaken by the
organization to obtain her husband's release, Mrs. Christ has heard of

only one direct approach. She was told that the Cuban attorney
offered to exchange medical supplies for the release of the three
technicians and that the offer has never acted upon by the Cubans.
She also knows that we have tried several other successful operations,
but she is unaware of any details of these attempts. Mrs. Christ knows
that rumors of the operation new in progress, which contemplates utilizing
personnel in Honduras. On several occasions when the organization secretly
considered a given operation, and for instance, for an action in
Honduras. For example, when Castro prepares "conconging tractors for prisoners,
Mrs. Christ can usually question him as to what action we may take to
include the technicians in any exchange. She also had numerous ideas as
to how this should be carried out. Yet, she would only be told that the
negotiations were being clearly monitored and that there would be no
interference in behalf of her husband, unless the political climate was
favorable.

As the Agency-American political atmosphere changes and specific
acts occur, such as the hi-jacking of J. A. airplanes, Mrs. Christ may
ask ideas or approaches regarding the method we might use to affect any
release of her husband. Of course, about the same time, we are usually
considering a change of facility.

Mrs. Christ has been verbally advised of the contents of the commages
we have exchanged with the technicians and knows that these have been few.
She knows that over 1000 pesos were left by Dr. Colomer
with the Cubans and that this amount is being supplemented through Dara.
She also knows that we recently requested the Cuban lawyer to forward requested
tax package and requested the period which to send to the techni-
cians were not received by the fail, and therefore no further package
will be sent.

The operational details which have been discussed with Gen. Taylor,
but not with Mrs. Christ are of such a nature that little damage would
be done if they were inadvertently revealed to Mrs. Christ. The main
points which should not be discussed with her are:

1. The name of the Washington attorney handling the case.

2. Details of present or future operations designed to
effect the release of the men.

employment as a Type A part time employee. In August 1958 Subject
advised that she was divorcing her husband and wished to be reinstated
as a regular staff employee. Her reinstatement was approved and in
November 1959 she was transferred back to Washington, D.C., PCS.
During her employment in (Panama) she was under DAC cover. Back in
Washington she was assigned to DDP/WH, Support Staff, Logistics

6. In April 1960 Subject legally resumed her maiden name.

7. In May 1960 Subject was certified to the State Department
in connection with ninety day proposed TDY in Havana, Cuba with
JMARC; and in October 1960 she was transferred from Havana to
Guatemala.

8. In November 1960 Security was advised that according to
information from "the Project" (presumably JMARC) Subject had,
while in Cuba, allegedly been having affairs "with the three people"
who were "incarcerated in the Cuban jail". This allegation very pos-
sibly was exaggerated and from information in the file may have been
untrue. However, a Security officer on the Project seemed definitely
under the impression that she had been having an affair with one of
them, i.e.: (Dave CHRIST) and was of the opinion that her "immoral"
behavior was" a probable contributing factor" to then recent arrests
of Agency personnel in Cuba. According to another version, appar-
ently hers, she went out one evening with (CHRIST) and on other oc-
casions had group social contact with him and with two other TSD
technicians who arrived in Havana three days before she left to go to
the United States on leave. On the Saturday night prior to her depar-
ture on Sunday, she and her two roommates, she said, entertained
these three men in their apartment.

9. In Guatemala, Subject met and dated a Ronald Stanley
DAVIC, an American who was "wanted" by the FBI for car theft and mail
fraud. According to Subject she found this out by checking "the files"
and reported it to her superiors. Also according to Subject, "It was
decided" that there was "no real harm" in continuing her relationship
with this individual "as long as I kept on guard"; and she continued to
date him until the day he suddenly disappeared from Guatemala City
on 24 January 1961. She had, in fact, expected him for dinner the even-
ing of the day he disappeared.

SUBJECT: Bremmittal of (Blasemura) Ordinary Passport in Alias for Use by AEAL-1 - AB Case No. 6937

REFERENCE: HR Memorandum dated 5 April 1963, same subject

1. Transmitted herewith for use as outlined in Reference are the following two documents issued in alias for AEAL-1 Stangمص( Ordinary Passport No. 85701 and U.S. Migration and Naturalization Form 1-94 (stapled in the passport, page 9). Also furnished herewith is a travel itinerary on which AEAL-1 should be briefed before he applies for the Argentina visa in New York.

2. In keeping with arrangements made by TOD/AD, the Medical Office is preparing, for direct delivery to 1/4, the International Vaccination Certificate in alias to be used with the above documents. This certificate should be checked for accuracy as to place and date of issue. It is also understood that AEAL-1 will have received a bona fide smallpox vaccination prior to departing from the U.S.

3. TD/AD prepared the above Nicaragua passport on the strength of information that DIOGENESIS) could instruct an Argentine Consular post in the U.S. to place a visa in the passport. The document was prepared in one week from date of request because of operational urgency. The requirement specified use of a Central American passport to avoid ple placing a long, time-consuming simulated itinerary in the passport, it was given a recent issuance date, which necessitated issuance on the basis of one more issuance early one year earlier (the most recent issuance available). This short itinerary also would seem to make application at this time in the U.S. for an Argentina visa somewhat unusual. Since we are now informed that AEAL-1 is to obtain his Argentina visa without DIOGENESIS) assistance we wish to avoid the limitations of the documentation provided for this operation, and agreed to by Mr. Manini, matter of record. This confirms discussion with Mr? Fabrini. A telephone check with the Argentine Embassy by LI indicated that a Nicaraguan transient in the U.S. can obtain an Argentina visa in this country.

4. It is understood that the passport will be pocked for about six months, following which it is to be returned to AD/AB. Should further operational need exist for this document beyond that time, it must be borne in mind that the expiration date is 7 March 1959 and that some revalidations are needed from that time forward. Any such revalidations would have to be entered by TD/AD. Also, use of this passport for travel other than that originally intended (direct from U.S. to Argentina and back within six months) will require careful scrutiny by SSD/AD of the situation at the time of the intended future travel.

5. In accordance with verbal arrangements between Encore. Fabrini, please pass on to TD/AD details of AEAL-1's procurement of the Argentina visa and any other travel control events of significance in the use of this passport so that TD/AD may profit from the experience of this agent in the use of this alias document.

6. Any further questions concerning this case should be referred to the undersigned or to Miss Fina Japtine) on extension 1531.

I am certain that if given onough time I can obtain a great deal of infomation on the backgrounds and activities of rary of his associates.

While visiting his apartment I observed that both Court and his father are interested in in a large number of Communist Publications. These included "U.3.S.R." "The Worker", and "mary Prop. pamchlets that were obviously published in Englend. Court is an extreme Leftist in his political views and he believes fanatically in Castro's Cuba

Mr. Wood mentioned to me that he and several of his friends are making plans to enter Cuba in Juna; illegally if necessary. He apparently wants to becoraja tenorm for the Castro government and to make his permanent home here, Members of the "26sh of, July Movomont" are in close contact with Court and they are envolved in this proposed move to Cuba.

Mr. Kennedy,

Several months ago I wrote you a letter concerning the Fro-Castro centi-
ments of Court Wood, son of Foster Wood, a local attorney. Since that time I've
seen Court only once, on March 3,1961, and he appears to be actively engaged
in the organisation of a local chapter of the FAIR PLAY FOR CUBA COMMITTEE.
Complete with beard, Court has been meeting with "Interested groups"and lect-
uring to students in several eastern cities. He specifically mentioned Baltimore,
Philadelphia, and New York. Apparently there are a number of students envolved
in this activity; I met David Lacterman from George Mason High School in
Falls Church, Va.and Walt MacDonwald, a fellow student of Courts, and both
are obviously active.
What action, if any, should I take in regard to my relationship with
Court and his father?

Please include this statement in my permanent record.

THANK YOU

SUBJECT: COURT FOSTER WOOD
INTERNAL SECURITY - CUBA

Reference is made to a 25 March 1961 and a 6 July 1961 in-
vestigative report on captioned Subject which have previously
been furnished to this Agency.

Michael Weimer Stratton, born 21 January 1941, Austin, Texas],
who is a current Agency employee, has recently been interviewed
concerning his knowledge of Court Foster Wood whom [Stratton] had
known since mutual attendance in high school. Attached is a de-
tailed report of the information furnished by [Stratton] concerning
his knowledge of Wood.

Since [Stratton] personally has sufficient reason to question
the activities of Wood and the activities of the associates of
Wood, [Stratton] has been advised to discontinue any further contact
with Wood.

It would be appreciated if your Bureau would furnish this
Agency any additional information brought to your attention con-
cerning Court Foster Wood and of particular interest would be any
information received by your Bureau concerning past association
of Court Foster Wood with Michael Weimer Stratton]

The above information is for your use only and should not be
disseminated outside your Bureau.

SUBJECT: Court Foster Wood

RETYPED FROM UNREADABLE
COPY.

Michael Weimer Stratton has recently advised that Court
Foster Wood was a relatively close high school friend of [Stratton]
during mutual attendance at George Mason High School, Falls Church,
Virginia, during 1957 to 1959. Stratton described Wood as an
average high school student who had no particular problems with
the exception that there were domestic difficulties between the
father and mother of Wood.

[Stratton] became acquainted with the parents of Wood and made
occasional visits to their home during the above period of time.
The father of Wood, Foster Wood, is an attorney who was then living
in Falls Church. Some time ago the father and mother of Court Wood
split up and Court Wood and father moved into an apartment on
Columbia Road, Washington, D.C.

Stratton advised that after graduation from high school in
June 1959 he lost any close contact with Wood who then started to
attend George Mason College, where he seemed to have an interest
in philosophy. [Stratton] started to attend a military school and
Wood expressed extreme opposition to military schools.

[Stratton] married in 1960, which also helped to move [Stratton]
somewhat out of the social circle of Wood. [Stratton] believed that
for approximately a year, during 1959 to 1960, he did not actually
see Wood but advised that after this period in which he did not
see Wood he has had a number of contacts with Wood, many of which
occurred during mutual attendance at the University of Virginia
Extension School (night school) in early 1961. On one occasion
[Stratton] attended a party at the apartment occupied by Wood and
father at the invitation of Wood, and on this occasion came into
contact with the "new set of friends" of Court Wood, whom [Stratton]
described as being "beatnik types." Girls in attendance at the
party, according to [Stratton], appeared to be of the "street pickup"
type.

After the above party Wood occasionally telephoned [Stratton]
and about Christmas 1960 Wood called and stated that he was going
to Cuba under the auspices of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.
[Stratton] called on Wood after the return of Wood from Cuba and at
that time Wood lauded Castro very highly. The father of Wood was
also present and [Stratton] obtained the impression that the father
was also in sympathy with Castro. [Stratton] recalled that he again,
at a later date, had visited the Wood apartment, this being an
occasion when Wood had been visiting somewhere in Falls Church
and contacted [Stratton] to ask [Stratton] to take Wood home. On this

occasion [Stratton] stayed at the Wood apartment for approximately ten minutes,
and advised that on this occasion he observed some communist propaganda.

by DAVIS for men to work in a lumber business with which he was
connected in Guatemala. The men stayed at a home near Lacombe,
Louisiana. When the FBI seized dynamite and other explosives
nearby, the men became disgruntled and were unwilling to proceed to

BROWN FOUNDATION

There is no OS subject file on the BROWN Foundation but a reference file contains a memorandum dated 30 January 1967 to the Deputy Director, Plans

SECRET
GROUP 1
Excluded from automatic
downgrading and
declassification

from Chief, Central Cover Group concerning the threat of exposure of Agency operations and concludes that the BROWN Foundation of Houston, Texas was one of the most vulnerable to exposure because public records reflect direct ties from Agency funding instruments identified by Congressman PATMAN in 1964 to legitimate foundations and Agency projects they have sponsored.

VERNON FUND - #69000-573

The VERNON Fund (HEEMUDWEED) was created by the Agency in June 1958 as an ostensibly private philanthropic foundation legally incorporated under the laws of and with an office in the District of Columbia. It is used as a cover and funding mechanism for Project DILAMPREY. The objective of this project is in the development of organizational and individual assets capable of strengthening the unity of non-Communist teachers and their organizations throughout the world. These objectives are carried out through the active support by the Agency of the international programs of the National Education Association (NEA/INTERN) and the World Confederation of Organizations of the Teaching Profession (WCOTP) with which NEA is affiliated. In March 1967 because of exposure of the Vernon Fund in news media, the Board members were contacted and advised as follows:

Each Vernon Fund board member is being advised that he will receive a copy of the NEA and WCOTP letters regarding press allegations, he will acknowledge his membership on the Vernon Fund board if confronted with the facts he will acknowledge that the Vernon Fund has supported CORE and that it made a few small grants to NEA; he will decline any further comment on the origin or operation of the Vernon Fund, on sources of Vernon Fund money, on whether the Vernon Fund received money from the Agency, or any other aspect of the Fund; he will be informed that the Vernon Fund records are not available to the public, short of subpoena; he will be asked to return any files or papers relating to the Vernon Fund; he will be told that Dr. CARR (William George CARR) has not yet had to identify any board members but will probably have to; he will not comment on the creation of the Vernon Fund and how initial contacts were made.

DICK, Albert Blake, III - #0178333 (Vernon Fund Board Member)

Albert Blake DICK, III, President, A. B. DICK Company, Chicago, Illinois, was granted a Covert Security Approval for his witting use in connection with the funding of Project TPFOMART.

CARR, William George - #540038-B and #116332

William G. CARR was granted a Covert Security Clearance on 22 April 1955 for unwitting use under Project DIPILLAR and on 21 November 1967 he received a Covert Security Approval to permit his use under Project DILAMPREY in his position as Secretary-General of the World Confederation of Organizations in the Teaching Profession.

REA, Bryce, Jr. - #149438

Bryce REA, Jr., attorney for the Vernon Fund, was granted a Covert Security Clearance for his use on a cleared attorneys panel on

15 November 1956 and on 19 September 1958 he received another covert security clearance to permit his use as a Leases Cut-Out in the procurement of domestic safehouses.

World Confederation of Organizations of the Teaching Professions
(Funded by the Vernon Fund)

In April 1967 a discussion was held between an Agency representative and John THOMPSON and Ray SAKS of the WCOTP (World Confederation of Organizations of the Teaching Profession) concerning future funding for WCOTP. Because of publicity concerning the funding of WCOTP by the Vernon Fund WCOTP leadership promised its membership that no further Vernon Fund money would be accepted until the status of the Vernon Fund was clarified. John THOMPSON felt that the best solution would be a one-time only infusion of money by sterile check into the WCOTP bank account to be backstopped by a letter from the attorney for the Vernon Fund, Bryce REA, who would attribute the money to members of the Vernon Fund Board who anonymously wished to provide WCOTP with sufficient funds to cover expenses until other sources could be found.

In May 1967 John THOMPSON of the WCOTP described to an Agency representative an interview he had with Mike MacMANUS of TIME magazine on 1 May 1967 who wanted to discuss the effects of newspaper publicity on WCOTP operations. MacManus was especially interested in any economies forced on WCOTP and a request for proof of the value of WCOTP operations to individual teachers. THOMPSON felt that MacMANUS did not succeed in gaining sufficient additional information from the interview to warrant writing his projected article.

EMIKE, Raymond Joseph - #476091

Raymond Joseph EMIKE was granted a Covert Security Approval on 10 July 1957 for use as a witting employee of Project HIFILACER and on 19 May 1962 he received a Covert Security Approval for his use by Project JELACEPOD as Coordinator for African Activities in Washington, D.

American Friends of the Middle East #1340.377 and #65300

American Friends of the Middle East (Project ZICINDER) was created in May 1951 with the purpose of employing aggressive propaganda to promote

SECRET

the friendship of peoples of the Near and Middle East toward the United States and to combat Communism. It was incorporated as a voluntary, non-profit membership corporation under the laws of New York State. Dorothy THOMPSON, columnist, was elected as Chairman. In early 1967 AFME received a good deal of newspaper publicity concerning its Agency affiliation including articles in the Soviet press, TASS and USSR INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS. Syria was the only country in which AFME is active that raised the question of the organization's continued existence in the light of allegations of Agency financial support although, there were rumblings in Iraq.

San Jacinto Fund

There is no OS subject file on the San Jacinto Fund. The attached memorandum dated 30 January 1967 from Chief, Central Cover Group to Deputy Director, Plans - "Threat of Exposure of Agency Operations" - stated that RAMPARTS has expressed intense interest in the San Jacinto Fund, and its sources of income in particular, because it funds 5 HBEPITOME activities (youth affairs).

M. D. ANDERSON Foundation

There is no OS subject file on the M. D. ANDERSON Foundation but OS indices reflect a file on the M. D. ANDERSON Hospital and Tumor Institute.

A study program to determine the effects in diverse Biological Systems resulting from exposure to high intensity coherent radiation was contracted with the M. D. ANDERSON Hospital and Tumor Institute, University of Texas, Houston, Texas in October 1963 but as of 16 April 1964 there was a hold order against going ahead with the contract because of a question as to why the Agency should bear the whole cost of the contract which was to be for inter-departmental use. In May 1967 a note in the file indicated that M. D. ANDERSON Hospital and Tumor Institute will be engaged in classified work for the Agency. There was no record of a clearance issued.

MARSHALL Foundation

See attached memorandum dated 30 January 1967 from Chief, Central Cover Group to Deputy Director, Plans - "Threat of Exposure of Agency Operations". The MARSHALL Foundation of Houston, Texas is considered one of the most vulnerable to exposure.

A "New York Times" article for 26 February 1967 disclosed that the MARSHALL Foundation of Houston, Texas channeled funds from the Agency to the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University from 1961 to 1963.

Allen SHIVERS, Governor of Texas, was a signer of a statement appearing in the NEW YORK TIMES for 20 October 1949 sponsored by the Iron Curtain Refugee Campaign of the International Rescue Committee. The IRC was described as basically good, humanitarian organization but many individuals of questionable loyalty have been associated with it.

A NEW YORK TIMES clipping for 12 February 1954 stated that Allan SHIVERS, Governor of Texas, said he planned to ask his Legislature to make membership in the Communist Party a death penalty offense. He was quoted as saying "In politics we often speak of bipartisan issues. I can think of nothing that should be more bipartisan than catching a Communist. There can be no valid issue between Americans over Communists. Americans are either pro-Communist or anti-Communist."

No clearance was requested or issued for SHIVERS. His file contains reference cards only.

from Chief, Central Cover Group concerning the threat of exposure of Agency operations and concludes that the BROWN Foundation of Houston, Texas was one of the most vulnerable to exposure because public records reflect direct ties from Agency funding instruments identified by Congressman PATMAN in 1964 to legitimate foundations and Agency projects they have sponsored.

VERNON FUND - $69000-573

The VERNON Fund (HEMUDWEED) was created by the Agency in June 1958 as an ostensibly private philanthropic foundation legally incorporated under the laws of and with an office in the District of Columbia. It is used as a cover and funding mechanism for Project DILAMPREY. The objectives of this project is the development of organizational and individual assets capable of strengthening the unity of non-Communist teachers and their organizations throughout the world. These objectives are carried out through the active support by the Agency of the International programs of the National Education Association (FBLINTERN) and the World Confederation of Organizations of the Teaching Profession (JELACEPOD) with which NEA is affiliated. In March 1967 because of exposure of the Vernon Fund in news media, the Board members were contacted advised as follows:

Each Vernon Fund board member is being advised that he will receive a copy of the NEA and WCOTP letters regarding press allegations; he will acknowledge his membership on the Vernon Fund board if confronted with the facts he will acknowledge that the Vernon Fund has supported WCOTP and that it made a few small grants to NEA; he will decline any further comment on the origin or operation of the Vernon Fund, on sources of Vernon Fund money, on whether the Vernon Fund received money from the Agency, or any other aspect of the Fund; he will be informed that the Vernon Fund records are not available to the public, short of subpoena; he will be asked to return any files or papers relating to the Vernon Fund; he will be told that Dr. CARR (William George CARR) has not yet had to identify any board members but will probably have to; he will not comment on the creation of the Vernon Fund and how initial contacts were made.

World Confederation of Organizations of the Teaching Professions (Funded by the Vernon Fund)

I In April 1967 a discussion was held between an Agency representative and John THOMPSON and Ray GEMS of the WCOTP (World Confederation of Organizations of the Teaching Profession) concerning future funding for WCOTP. Because of publicity concerning the funding of WCOTP by the Vernon Fund, WCOTP leadership promised its membership that no further Vernon Fund money would be accepted until the status of the Vernon Fund was clarified. John THOMPSON felt that the best solution would be a one-time only infusion of money by sterile check into the WCOTP bank account to be backstopped by a letter from the attorney for the Vernon Fund, Bryce REA, who would attribute the money to members of the Vernon Fund Board who anonymously wished to provide WCOTP with sufficient funds to cover expenses until other sources could be found.

In May 1967 John THOMPSON of the WCOTP described to an Agency representative an interview he had with Mike MacMANUS of TIME magazine on 1 May 1967 who wanted to discuss the effects of newspaper publicity on WCOTP operations. MacMANUS was especially interested in any economies forced on WCOTP and a request for proof of the value of WCOTP operations to individual teachers. THOMPSON felt that MacMANUS did not succeed in gaining sufficient additional information from the interview to warrant writing his projected article.

the friendship of peoples of the Near and Middle East toward the United States and to combat Communism. It was incorporated as a voluntary, non-profit membership corporation under the laws of New York State. Dorothy THOMPSON, columnist, was selected as Chairman. In early 1967 AFME received a good deal of newspaper publicity concerning its Agency affiliation including articles in the Soviet press, TASS and USSR INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS. Syria was the only country in which AFME is active that raised the question of the organization's continue d existence in the light of allegations of Agency financial support; although, there were rumblings in Iraq.

San Jacinto Fund

There is no OS subject file on the San Jacinto Fund. The attached memorandum dated 30 January 1967 from Chief, Central Cover Group to Deputy Director, Plans - "Threat of Exposure of Agency Operations" - stated that RAMPARTS has expressed intense interest in the San Jacinto Fund, and its sources of income in particular, because it funds 5 UBEPITOME activities (youth affairs).

A study program to determine the effects in diverse Biological Systems resulting from exposure to high intensity coherent radiation was contracted with the M.D. ANDERSON Hospital and Tumor Institute, University of Texas, Houston, Texas in October 1963 but as of 16 April 1964 there was a hold order against going ahead with the contract because of a question as to why the Agency should bear the whole cost of the contract which was to be for inter-departmental use. In May 1967 a note in the file indicated that M. D. ANDERSON Hospital and Tumor Institute will be engaged in classified work for the Agency. There was no record of a clearance issued.

MARSHALL FOUNDATION

See attached memorandum dated 30 January 1967 from Chief, Central Cover Group to Deputy Director, Plans - "Threat of Exposure of Agency Operations". The MARSHALL Foundation of Houston, Texas is considered one of the most vulnerable to exposure.

Allen SHIVERS, Governor of Texas, was a signor of a statement appearing in the NEW YORK TIMES for 20 October 1949 sponsored by the Iron Curtain Refugee Campaign of the International Rescue Committee.

A NEW YORK TIMES clipping for 12 February 1954 stated that Allan SHIVERS, Governor of Texas, said he planned to ask his legislature to make membership in the Communist Party a capital penalty offense. He was quoted as saying "In politics we often speak of bipartisan issues. I can think of nothing that should be more bipartisan than catching a Communist. There can be no valid issue between Americans over Communists. Americans are either pro-Communist or anti-Communist."

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Security
SUBJECT : Herbert Itkin/Mario Brod et. al.

1. Reference is made to your instructions concerning this
case and my attached memorandum concerning research on whether
or not Itkin was ever, in fact, utilized by this Agency prior to his
contacts with Brod.

2. All available sources in the Agency reflect no record of
Itkin or of Philip Harbin, who was allegedly his case officer. Harbin
has been checked both as a true name and as an alias. Although the
name is not registered in the Agency, this of course does not mean
that some Agency representative did not make this up and use it
without telling anyone.

3. My visceral reaction is that Itkin is lying about his
contacts with Mr. Dulles and Philip Harbin. However, since there
appears to be a possibility of an extreme "flap" if Itkin gives the same
story to the newspapers that he gave to Mr. Houston, I would recommend
that, with the concurrence of Mr. Helms, Mr. Dulles be interviewed and
asked if he remembers anything about this case.

4. I also spoke with Harry Mason, x5231, in Finance who
handles OS budgetary matters and is a personal acquaintance. Without
giving him any names I asked him if it would be possible to track down
the receipt that Itkin claims he gave Harbin for the $5000.00. Harry
says if the case was handled properly and the account is still outstanding
it will be fairly easy to find the receipt. I have done nothing further on
this, pending your instructions.

ITKIN, Herbert

Subject States:
When he was first admitted to the bar in 1953
he was employed by the firm of Delson, Levin & Gordon
in New York City. (Now Delson and Gordon.) Itkin
alleges that one partner, Levin, had close ties with
Alger Hiss, Cyrus Eaton and other of similar persuasion.
Because of the viewpoint of the law firm, Subject states
that he began passing information to Senator Joseph
McCarthy. However, in the Spring of 1954, Senator
McCarthy told Itkin that he was getting into trouble and
allegedly reported that he had passed Itkin's reports to
CIA. Itkin then states that a meeting was set up for
him either in June/July/or August of 1954 with Mr. Allen
Dulles. This meeting was at the Bellevue Stratford in
Philadelphia. His contact was reportedly a man known
as Philip Harbin.

At this time, Itkin says he was able to report on
matters affecting U Nu, then the Premier of Burma, the
Indonesian Foreign Minister; and the owner or editor
of the New Delhi Times. Itkin also claims to have had
personal contacts with Luis Gutierrez, Consul General
of El Salvador, and with a number of other people who
had Guatemalan contacts. Itkin says the only money he
received from Harbin was $5,000.00, which was supposed
to be repayable and for which he gave a receipt, he believes
sometime in 1957. He said the money was not repaid.

Itkin states that he met Mario Brod in 1961 and
that Brod was represented to him as a former Colonel
in the OSS who had intelligence connections. From then
on his contact was Brod and apparently Harbin dropped
out of the picture.

Agency Files reflect:

No record of Herbert Itkin in Office of Security
records, other than newspaper clippings.

No record of Herbert Itkin in RI files.

No record of Philip Harbin in Office of Security.

No record of Philip Harbin as a DCS alias.

No record of Philip Harbin in OS pseudo files.

No record of Philip Harbin as either a pseudo or
a registered alias in RI/CRYPTO.

No record of Philip Harbin in RI files.

The file of Mario Brod reflects no information concerning his
contacts with Herbert Itkin and reflects no information concerning a
Philip Harbin.

During Itkin's meeting with Mr. Houston he mentioned that the
law firm had a negro lawyer named Thomas L. Roberts, #193026, who
had very useful contacts with the United Nations. Itkin stated that
Roberts was a very presentable and intelligent negro who left the firm
and now had a law practice in Dakar.

The Office of Security file concerning Roberts reflects that:

Mr. Roberts is a current employee of this Agency
under deep cover in Dakar. In January of 1968 Roberts
furnished this Office with an extensive summary of his
past association with Herbert Itkin. He also mentioned
that he and Itken had associated with Mario Brod at a dinner
party in 1965 and had had lunch with Brod in 1967. There is
no indication, however, that Roberts is aware of any use of
Itkon as a CIA informant during the 1950's.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

FROM : Chief, SB/2 Desk

SUBJECT: COVER, NONOFFICIAL) - GENERAL
(Proposal for A&E Assessment of Potential
REDSKIN Agent Candidates)
#90682

1. Reference is made to my previous memorandum pertaining
to the subject as captioned, ending with the Memorandum for the
Record dated 21 February 1961.

2. As indicated in the referenced memorandum, CCG feels
that the PSYCHOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT ASSOCIATES) (see copy of SR
memorandum-dated 3 February 1961 and my memorandum dated 21
February 1961) should not be utilized. This decisionvas made
as a result of a conversation between Mr. Howard OSBORNE,
Deputy Chief, SR Division, and Mr. Jack SOUTHARD, Chief, CCG/NC.

3. A meeting was called on 27 February 1961 to determine
the type of cover organization that should be substituted for
this purpose. After considering the matter at length, it was
ascertained that the Agency has a cleared (employment) service in
Pittsburgh which could possibly be utilized as an initial
A&E assessment. This firm, the EMPLOYMENT SERVICE COMPANY
is located in the Union Trust Building, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,)
and is managed by Margaret A. KEARNEY) (see SSD File 95018).
It was agreed that if the EMPLOYERS SERVICE COMPANY could
provide the needed cover, two OTR psychologists would be docu-
mented in true name with that firm in Pittsburghio CCG (Frank
O'MALLEY) will make a trip to Pittsburgh in the next few days
to determine whether Miss (KEARNEY) is amenable to the proposed
arrangement. The two psychologists selected were Doctors
BRADT and McKEF) on whom credit checks were recently completed
th negative results as to Agency employment.

4. It was further ascertained at this time that Mr.
Howard OSBORE desired that all training and assessment of
REDSKIN Agents who pass the initial screening be conducted

outside the Washington, D. C. area. lHost of the training will
be conducted in an SR safe house in New York. The SR represen-
tative will probably request a safe house in Baltimore for the
final assessment and processing of those REDSKIN Agents that
are cleared in the initial screening by either BRADT or (MCKEE) 06
It should be noted at this point that SR Division plans to
process thirty or thirty-five REDSKIN Agents this year. Time
is, of course, of the essence, in view of the fact that these
people will have to be assessed, security-cleared, briefed,
and trained, and arrangements for grants made before the summer
season.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

FROM : Chief, SB/2 Desk
SUBJECT: COVER, NONOFFICIAL)- GENERAL
(Proposal for A&E Assessment of Potential
REDSKIN Agent Candidates)
#90682

1. Reference is made to my previous memorandum pertaining to the proposal to initiate a change of policy with respect to the processing of potential REDSKIN Agents.

2. As will be noted, it was initially recommended that potential REDSKIN Agent candidates be provided with an A&E assessment by CTR prior to disclosure of Agency interest in them and prior to the disclosure of any classified information. This assessment will be conducted utilizing a nonofficial cover. It was initially suggested that TSD's Psychological Assessment Associates firm now used by Dr. GITTINGER be used for this purpose. If the A&E assessment were favorable, Security would be requested to conduct a full investigation of the Subject and he would be subsequently contacted under alias CIA credentials. At that point, he would be requested to perform a mission for us and would be given requirements for same if he agreed to accept such assignment.

3. Attention is invited to the attached memorandum dated 8 February 1961. A copy of this memorandum was furnished to the writer with the verbal request that credit checks be conducted on all the staff A&E members mentioned. Prior to the initiation of credit checks, it was verbally agreed between the undersigned and Mr. Thomas STRANGE, CCG/NC, that no credit check would be conducted on Jacob GOLDER, in view of the fact that it was known the latter was recently surfaced as an Agency employee. The requested credit checks were completed on or about 16 February 1961 and the results verbally transmitted to Mr. Thomas STRANGE.

4. As of this date, CCG feels that they may have to establish another notional cover for this program. It is understood that this cover will be utilized in addition to utilizing the Psychological Assessment Associates. Pending a further request in this matter from CCG, no further action is contemplated.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Security 4 May 1967

SUBJECT : MORGAN, Edward P.

1. I first met Ed Morgan in about 1952 or 1953 through our
association with the Society of Former Agents of the FBI. Both Ed
and I served on the Executive Committee of the Washington Chapter
of that Society in 1953-54 and both Ed and I were interested in having
the Ex-Agents National Convention in Washington, D. C. At that time
Jim McInerny was President of the Washington Chapter.

2. I went overseas in 1955 and I have seen Ed possibly four or
five times since my return in 1957. While I have been active in the
Society, Ed Morgan has not been. The last time I saw Morgan was
in January 1967 at an Ex-Agents dinner. All of my association with
Morgan has been through the Ex-Agents, and I have never been in
contact with him socially other than through the Society.

3. The following information is hearsay concerning Ed Morgan.
I have reason to believe that all the information is true, but I do not
know it on a first hand basis. Ed Morgan served in the Bureau from
1940 to 1947. He is a tall, personable, nice looking individual and in
the Bureau he ended up in the Training Division. He used to give
lectures to the new Agents classes and the National Academy classes,
and through his speaking ability he came to the attention of Director,
J. Edgar Hoover. At the end of the war Morgan left the Bureau to
enter private law practice.

4. According to rumor, Morgan entered the field of Federal
Communications practice. His firm became well known in this field
and the firm name is Welch, Mott & Morgan. Rumor is that he obtained
TV franchises for a number of oil men in the Middle West, and took
his pay in oil leases. He made a great deal of money in a short period
of time and is reportedly worth at least a million dollars.

5. At the time of the Korean War, Morgan accepted an
appointed position in the Office of Price Stabilization. He headed
the investigative and compliance unit of OPS and in this position he
hired a number of Ex-Agents. It was in this job that he reportedly
ran afoul of the Bureau. Morgan apparently proselyted a great number
of Bureau Agents at higher salaries than the Bureau made and this
made Director Hoover furious. A few years later a rumor was
started that Morgan hoped to replace Hoover; the Director was even
more furious. I do not know this for a fact, but it has been speculated
that Morgan is persona non grata with the Bureau.

6. Morgan continued active work in the Society of Former Agents
between 1955 and 1957. In 1957 he ran for the office of National
President of the Society. He was defeated in his bid for this office
and was very bitter about his defeat. For the past ten years he has
not attended more than two or three local meetings, and he does not
participate in Society activities. It was rumored that Morgan blamed
his defeat on the Bureau, stating that he was defeated because the
Bureau had black-listed him.

7. According to rumor Morgan moves in fairly high circles in
the District of Columbia. I believe he belongs to the Touchdown Club
and I also believe he belongs to one of the more exclusive country clubs
in the area. He drinks, but I have never seen him intoxicated. Other
than the items mentioned above, I have never heard anything unfavorable
concerning him. There are a number of people in the Agency who knew
him and worked with him at the Bureau. I feel certain that (Frank Holmes)
would know him fairly well, as well as Bill Harvey, Ron MacMillan,
Herman Horton and Glenn Fields. Lyon L. (Slug) Tyler, who has been
(utilized by Central Cover) for a number of years, formerly worked for
Morgan in his law firm, but broke away from the firm because of some
disagreement. Tyler would probably know a great deal concerning
Morgan's personal habits. It should be remembered, however, that
because Morgan's law practice is primarily an administrative practice
before the FCC, most of his business associates would be in the broad-
casting and news business.

SUBJECT: MAHEU, Robert A.

1. Robert A. Maheu, a personnel relations executive and
former F. B. I. Agent, has been utilized by the Office of Security
on many sensitive assignments since the early fifties. He has
also on several occasions been cleared for use by the DD/P in
various capacities. He does business as Robert A. Maheu, Asso-
ciates, and maintains offices in Washington, D. C., and Los
Angeles, California, where he is now residing.

2. It has come to our attention that the Senate Subcommittee
investigating wiretapping activities (Long Committee) has expressed
considerable interest in Maheu. He has never been asked to per-
form any technical surveillance on our behalf.

3. The first inkling we had that the Long Committee was
interested in Maheu came to our attention through the OGC.
Mr. Lawrence Houston advised that Walter Yeagley, Assistant
Attorney General, Internal Security Division, had casually mentioned
to him that he had been advised by Raymond A. Taggart, an AID
employee, that he may be called upon to testify before the Long
Committee regarding his activities while employed by Maheu (1954-55).

4. The only significant association the Agency had with Maheu
during that period involved the struggle between two Greek industrial
giants, Stavros Niarchus and Aristottle Onassis. Maheu had been
retained as a trouble shooter for Niarchus. Onassis had just con-
cluded a pact with King Saud which would allow him to control approxi-
mately 90 percent of the oil shipments out of Saudi Arabia. In con-
sumating the deal, he allegedly employed every trick in the book.
His achievement caused much consternation among the British,
German, and American interests. Niarchus also realized as a
result of this the balance of power and influence weighed heavily in

SECRET
EYES ONLY

favor of Onassis in their own private battle. It was this mutual
concern of the United States and Niarchus that set the stage for
a joint venture. Niarchus supplied the money, personnel, and
documents; the Agency furnished the communications, courier
facilities, and direction in the form of our Commo channel, pouch
system, and the NEA Division's expertise and guidance.

5. Spyridon Catapodis, a Greek Broker, who had an ax to
grind against Onassis as a result of being manipulated out of a
handsome commission he believed due him for his intercession
with certain Saudi officials to secure oil rights for Onassis, spear-
headed a campaign to publicize Onassis' high-handed methods of
operation. This triggered off all sorts of international litigations
which erupted into suits and countersuits by all parties concerned.
Of particular note was the case of Catapodis vs. Onassis, which
suit was filed in New York State. While Niarchus was being exam-
ined before trial by Onassis' attorney, he claimed Government
privilege in answering certain questions. This tact was challenged
by the attorney and pursued to the point that eventually it was re-
corded in the briefs filed by both the plaintiff and the defendent that
CIA was, in fact, the Government agency of interest. Close coor-
dination was maintained during this period with Justice and State.
At our request a representative of the U. S. Attorney's Office in
New York monitored all of the Hearings. Mr. Houston is intimately
familiar with the actions in this case, and copies of his memoranda
pertinent to it are contained in his files.

6. The Security file on Subject contains a Covert Security
Clearance issued 16 August 1954 at the request of NE/2, Att:
William Miller, for Maheu's use on Project TWIXT. Other inter-
ested DD/P personnel were identified as William F. Rowland,
Acting Chief, NEA Division; George Prussing; Walter Snowden; and
Charles Williamson.)

7. Mr. Maheu was contacted to determine whether the Com-
mittee had been in touch with him. He stated he was not aware of
their interest in him. When the Taggart conversation was men-
tioned, he promptly replied that it must be the Onassis operation
they are looking into. He recalled that he had Onassis' New York
office "covered" sometime during the period. John Frank, a

former staff employee, and then a private investigator, was en-
gaged to arrange for the coverage. Maheu could only identify the
technician by the name of Leon. Presumably, this coverage was
done as a routine technique to keep the Niarchus interests informed..
on Onassis' movements. This was not initiated at the request of
any Agency component so far as our records indicate.

8. Subsequently, Maheu advised he had received a message
from one of the Committee's attorneys named Homme who wanted
to fly out to talk with him. Maheu fended him off by saying he was
tied up for the next several days. He then contacted his attorney.
Edward P. Morgan, of Washington, D. C., and it was decided that
Morgan would meet him in St. Louis on 24 May for a conference.

9. On Thursday morning, 26 May, Maheu called to advise
that he was at the Madison Hotel, Washington, D. C., and was
anxious to talk with us. At his request it was arranged to have
Colonel Edwards accompany a member of this office to meet with
him.

10. Maheu opened the conversation by announcing that he had
been selected to be the star performer on a planned TV hearing
which is scheduled to open within the next few weeks. He went on
to give the basis for this statement in the following detail.

When he first talked to Ed Morgan of the possibility
of his being subpoenaed, Morgan assured him that he
had nothing to be concerned about inasmuch as he was
a very close friend of Senator Long's personal attorney
who had considerable influence upon the Senator. The
lawyer resides in St. Louis, and he suggested that they
both go out and solicit his assistance. After the presen-
tation of the facts, all three flew to Washington where
the lawyer secured an appointment with the Senator.
Mr. Bernard Fensterwald was in attendance at the
meeting. He identified himself as the Chief Attorney
for the Committee. According to Maheu, Fensterwald
made it clear that Maheu was their ace in the hole and
without him the Hearings would have no appeal. He
implied that Maheu's clients and their opposition added

up to a very attractive package. Such headliners
as Niarchus, Onassis, Dave McDonald, and Howard
Hughes are hard to come by. Fensterwald further
referred to Maheu as the type who employed the
technique of cutting the Government in just enough
on his touchy operations to permit him to hide behind
their skirts if he were caught. It is the opinion of
the lawyer that, unless the Senator can be convinced
to the contrary, he will proceed with plans on schedule.

11. Maheu's most active account and, at this time, almost
exclusive client is Howard Hughes. In the past he did considerable
work for Dave McDonald, former president of the United Steel
Workers. So far as this office knows, the Agency never had any
interest in either of these clients. However, it should be noted that
the IO Division was granted a Covert Security Approval on 4 June
1959 to approach Maheu and advise him of the Agency's interest in
international labor. Maheu claims he never became involved in any
"bugging" operation for either of these accounts.

12. It is not believed that Maheu wants or expects us to front
for him in the Onassis tap matter. As mentioned previously, to our
knowledge this was not Agency sponsored. However, if exploited,
it would probably eventually lead to exposing our part in the Onassis/
Niarchus feud. As it is a matter of court record, it could not be
denied nor buried. Even though the details might be protected by
a declaration that it involved classified operational information, it
would set up a field day for the press and critics of the Agency.

13. Mr. Maheu is presently furnishing cover for a DODS staff
agent in his Washington, D. C., office. In this connection, two of
Maheu's employees have been cleared and witting. Other clearance
actions noted were: CSA granted FI/Plans, Cover Division on
30 August 1954 for use under LPHIDDEN; CSA issued to NE Division
on 7 October 1959 for Maheu's use in the United States and (Jordan)
inasmuch as he may be employed by the King of Jordan to handle
(Jordanian public relations in the United States.

14. In 1958-59, Maheu was used by the FE Division in two
sensitive operations targeted against Sukarno. Mr. Allen Dulles
was aware and approved of these operations. Mr. Joseph Smith
who was then Chief/PMI, is knowledgeable of the actions.

15. While none of our interests in Maheu relate to wire-
tapping, it is evident that the extensive and diversified use of him
makes us vulnerable to exploitation should he be interrogated in
depth regarding his activities.

16. Mr. Maheu is maintaining a cooperative attitude and
has promised to do all in his power to protect the Agency from
embarrassment or compromise.
