MICRO. SER.1. Forwarded under separate cover are twelve reports prepared by Wallace B. ROUTON on the activities of LIRING-3, LIRING-4, and contacts of the latter.2.  The main topic covered in ROWTON's reports is LIRING-4's efforts to obtain help in getting LIRING-3 out of jail in Guatemala as soon as possible. LIRING-4 is almost penniless (ROWTON has made only token payments to her after 15 June) and has been moving from one apartment to a cheaper one living on the sale of paintings left by LIRING-3 and small loans from leftist contacts. In the hope that she may be able to do something for LIRING-3, LIRING-4 has resisted all of ROUTON's efforts to get her to undertake a clandestine mission to PEZUTEN, a mission, as Headquarters knows, was planned long ago. As a foreigner, LIRING-4 cannot work in Mexico without taking the chance of being deported, if caught. Although she has not tried it, she would probably be refused a visa to go to Guatemala to visit LIRING-3. She might also face difficulties in Guatemala including possible detention and interrogation if she succeeded in obtaining an entry permit to that country.3. By mid-September 1968 LIRING-4 had received very little help from her Mexican leftist or outright Communist friends. In spite of promises to try to bribe the Guatemalan judge scheduled to try LIRING-3 all LIRING-4's "friends" succeeded in doing was to print several articles in the local press (some of then with LIRING-3's photo) claiming that LIRING-3 was unjustly imprisoned, that he was about to be executed, etc. If anything, thesecontinued . . . .Attachments: reports u/s/c #1Iden rpts u/s/c #2Distribution: Orig & (2) C/WHD w/attscopy filed in 201-798301LIRING-3201-818842S/c att:CROSS REFERENCE TOCS COPYDISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBERHMA - 35502DATE26 September 1968CLASSIFICATIONSECRETSOS FILE NUMBER201-798301

Forwarded under separate cover are eleven contact reports on the activities of LIRING-3 and LIRING-4 for the period 1 April to 10 May 1968 prepared by Wallace B. ROWTON.2. The main points covered in ROWTON's reports are:a. LIRING-3's association with Guatemalan rebels in Mexico City, his departure for Guatemala and his arrest and sentencing there;b. The reaction of friends of LIRING-3's and LIRING contacts to the news of his arrest;c. LIRING-4's efforts to "case" the offices of the LIRING Consulate, particularly the "safe rooe", and;d. The obvious provocations of LIRING-4 by Sergio VALDEZ.Continued.....Attachments:Reports (under separate cover)Distribution:Sk Att. 1 3 - C/WHD w/atts (under separate cover)B201-818342CS COPY201-798301HMMA-3468217 May 1968SECRET201-

CONTINUATION OFDISPATCHSECRETEMMA-346823. The product of LIZING-4's efforts to ease the LIRING consulate will be reviewed in a separate dispatch which will also transmit floor plans and drawings of that LIRING component. There is little question that the news of LIRING-3's arrest in Guatemala gained LIRING-4 the sympathy of various members of LIRING including LIRING-3, -9 and -16. They seem to understand LIRING-4's desire to postpone her departure for PBRUMEN after having received her long awaited PBRUMEN visa. The problem now is to have LIEING-4 leave for PBRUKEN while LIRING-3 is still incarcerated in Guatemala. As mentioned in a recent cable, ROWTON has encouraged LIRING-4's plans to try to visit LIRING-3 in jail in Guatemala City as ROWTON feels that LIRING-3 will probably urge LIRING-4 to spend in PBRUMEN at least some of the time he has to spend in jail. As for the conduct of Sergio VALDEZ (see ROWTON's reports dated 19 April and 6 May), it appears that the latter has deliberately been provocating LIRING-4. As this Station sees it, VALDEZ's purpose was to try to "shake up" LIEING-4 in the absence of LIRING-3 to test her reactions. It is doubtful that he acted on his own.There is no indication that he may have been doing this for the PBRUMEN'S (although this is no doubt a possibility). The Station is looking into the desirability, at this point, of placing VALDEZ under surveillance. The claim that ROWTON in alias offered Carmen LOZADA a certain sum of money for intelligence information in PERUMEN has no foundation.for/Willard C. CURTIS
