# McCarthy Suggests BordersOf Nation Be Closed to CoeBy G. Milton KellyAssociated Press ReporterSenator Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis) suggested yesterday that the State Department "immediately close the borders" to Frank Coe, saying the former secretary of the International Monetary Fund should not be allowed to leave the country."I think he is an extremely dangerous man," McCarthy said after Coe, a former Federal financial expert, refused to say whether he is a Communist or was a Communist spy while holding his $20,000-a-year job with the Monetary Fund.Coe protested what he called McCarthy's "command" to the State Department.McCarthy told him he had not commanded the State Department to do anything but had suggested that Coe be forbidden to leave the country.> [Figure: Portrait of FRANK COE]> Associated Press Phote> FRANK COE> ... in exchange with McCarthyThe exchange came at a hearing by McCarthy's Senate investigations subcommittee.Coe was called before a televised public hearing of the subcommittee to answer testimony that in 1949 he had tried to block a revaluation of the Austrian currency opposed by Communist Czechoslovakia.He came with a lengthy prepared statement in which he denied he had a hand in any such intrigue.The currency matter was scarcely mentioned, however, as the Senate investigators went over his record and fired questions at him about Communist Party membership and espionage.McCarthy asked Coe if he had contacted any member of the Russian secret police on a recent trip to Mexico.Coe replied that he saw a great many people in Mexico. But so far as he knew none was a member of the Soviet secret police.Asked if he had met with any members of the Communist Party in Mexico, Coe refused to answer. He said that to do so might tend to incriminate him.Were any of the persons he met there members of an espionage ring? McCarthy asked. Again Coe replied that so far as he knew none was.It was at that point that McCarthy suggested to L. M. Drury, a State Department security officer present as an observer, that the borders of the United States immediately be closed to Coe.Coe, 46, is a witness McCarthy's group has been trying to get before it for a long time.Coe, who showed up Wednesday, denied he was a fugitive. He said he had been looking into employment possibilities in Mexico, Cuba and elsewhere. He resigned his well-paid job with the Monetary Fund last December 2 atter refusing to tell another Senate group whether he was a Communist.Coe testified he is "not engaged in espionage now and was not last December 2. But he refused, on grounds that the answer might tend to incriminate him, to say whether he was so engaged on December 1.

He introduced Z to GOMPERTZ (Hedda) -- Z relationship was casual -- shall excuse? ---where is Hedda GOMPERTZ? --Z and FIELD supposed to have been both members of party.'"The Z referred to an individual whose name was blacked out. Defense Attorney Claude B. CROSS said he did not object to the document but thought use of the name would affect the reputation of a dead man."MOLOTOV, former Russian Foreign Minister, now is Deputy Premier."A Hedda GUMPERZ MASSING is a former wife of Gerhart EISLER, who fled the U.S. last spring after being identified as the No. 1 Communist in this country."Mrs. MASSING has been described as a 'cooperative witness' in post-war American spy hunts."There was no clue to the identity of "FIELD" or the "Scott FERRIS" mentioned.

HISS was indicted for perjury when he denied ever giving CHAMBERS state documents or even seeing him after January 1, 1937.""HISS was tried for perjury last spring but a jury split eight for conviction and four for acquittal, and a new trial was ordered.""The second report in the form of twin memos on the underground was full of some of the names from Franklin D. ROOSEVELT's early New Deal. The individuals were described as 'anti-Administration' at the time.""The names came out in memos written by Raymond MURPHY, Security officer of the State Department, who made notes of two talks in 1945 and 1946 with CHAMBERS.""The underground's purpose was said in the memos to be 'far more important and cunning' than spying.""... each member (was) to advance as high as possible in the Government to shape legislation favorable to the program of the Communist government,' read the hitherto secret reports.""Named in the memos were: Alger HISS and his brother, Donald (HISS); Harold WARE, Lee PRESSMAN, Henry Collins, Charles KRAMER (KRIVITZKY), Helen WARE, Alice MENDHAM, Harry Dexter WHITE, Nathan KAPLAN, Rose WEINSTEIN, Nathan WITT, John ABT, Eleanor NIESCH, Nat PERLOW, and persons identified by their last names only, as CDIER, GLASSE AND COE.""The guiding genius of the entire underground was identified as Hungarian-born J. PETERS, a 'little dark fellow, small feet and wavy black hair.'""Top man and founder of the 10-man Washington cells was said to be the late Harold WARE, who died in 1936, and was allegedly succeeded by Nathan WITT and later by John ABT.""Immediately below him in order of importance, the reports charged, were Lee PRESSMAN, former general counsel of the CIO, and Alger HISS, later to become a top-level State Department aide.""The memos said HISS' job 'was never to make converts -- his job was to mess up policy.""The Government aides whom CHAMBERS accused were said in the memos to have 'arranged among themselves a program committing this Government to a policy in keeping with the desires of the Communists.'"}year:"

SECRET16 September 1975MEMORANDUM FOR: C/LA/COGSUBJECT: Letter from Mrs. Lourdes CUESTA, Ex-wife of Antonio CUESTA Valle, Formerly of Interest to JMWAVE Station1. Lourdes CUESTA, ex-wife of Antonio CUESTA Valle, currently imprisoned in Cuba, wrote to the Director of CIA on 4 August 1975. She requested that the Agency "give her some kind of verification that her ex-husband was not connected nor the CIA had any knowledge that he was preparing the raids mentioned in Attempts No. 21 and 22" cited in a 31 July 1975 Miami Herald newspaper article following Senator McGovern's recent trip to visit Fidel CASTRO.2. A carefully worded reply was prepared for signature by an assistant to the DCI; however, per instruction of the DC/LAD (from the DDO) it was requested that the letter not be sent, but rather that a DCD representative in Miami handle the matter with Mrs. CUESTA personally.3. ▲ DCD representative in Miami contacted Mrs. CUESTA and told her that the Agency preferred that the matter be handled with a personal touch rather than by letter. Mrs. CUESTA did not accept this and has subsequently phoned the DCD representative several times requesting a written reply. Mrs. CUESTA said that she plans to send a copy of the reply to Fidel CASTRO and one to Senator McGovern. According to the DCD representative, Mrs. CUESTA (a nat- uralized U.S. citizen of Spanish birth) works for a lawyer (name unknown) and perhaps is following legal counsel.4. On 11 September 1975 the AC/LA/COG phoned the DC/LAD and advised him of the foregoing. Sollowing the conversation it was decided that we would check out applicable maritime records in Archives, in addition to CUESTA's 201 file, and if we still un- covered no evidence that CUESTA was involved with CIA in the cited infiltration operations, draft a very brief letter of acknowledge- ment to Mrs. CUESTA and resubmit it for approval.SECRET

SECRET5. Antonio CUESTA came to the U.S. from Cuba on 31 May 1960 as a refugee. According to his 201 file, he has had the following U.S. Government association:a. As of February 1961 he was cited as a crewman aboard the M/V TEJANA. A POA was requested on 15 March 1961 for his use in PM maritime ops as a crewman on the vessel TEJANA under Project JMATE. Due to cessation of JMATE activities, processing of the clearance was suspended on 1 May 1961 until new interest was apparent. JMWAVE Station advised the Army of CIA operational interest in CUESTA on 26 May 1962. JMWAVE advised Headquarters on 5 June 1962 that CUESTA was not then being used and requested the basis of other Agency interest. There is no indication in pertinent maritime files or his 201 file that he was ever used on an operational mission by CIA.b. ISR records show that CUESTA was registered as an Army source on 22 May 1962. There is no indication that he was dropped; however, it is recorded that he was reinstated on 12 August 1965. He was dropped again on 10 May 1966, without prejudice. There is no further record of Army association. The specifics of his association with the Army are unknown to the Agency.6. From the time he came to the U.S. in 1960 until he was arrested by the Cuban Government, CUESTA was associated with the MRR, UR, Alpha 66 and Commando L organizations. The hit and run raids made by these groups were well-known to all government agencies and, in fact, openly known in Miami because of the propensity of the Cubans to talk. There were a number of discussions at the highest level (President) concerning what should be done about such raids. They were not sponsored by or connected with the U.S. Government. Two of these unauthorized raids are the ones referred to (attempts 21 and 22) in the article attached to Mrs. CUESTA's letter.7. Mrs. CUESTA was born 21 May 1936 in Madrid, Spain. As of 30 March 1963 she was married to Antonio CUESTA, had one small son, and reportedly resided with Antonio in Miami, Florida. She currently refers to him as her ex-husband, but particulars of a separation or divorce are unknown. She is also known as Mrs. Maria Viza CUESTA, Maria Luisa Viza Blanco and Mrs. Vincente CHESTA. Following are items of interest:a. Antonio CUESTA told the FBI that she lived with him in Miami, Florida as of 30 March 1963.-2-SECRET
