Counter-intelligence rettersCounter-intelligence matters constitute the major I portions of this of this Station's melated Mission Directive and it has contributes more leads and general information on the Sovict aspect of this subject than all other Station sources contined. The following reports arc cited as examples of many of this type of reports and information developed in this category:a. 111:-1953, HMM-2266, describing contacts between arciso DASOLS, leading Mexican pro-Communist, a.d Viktor GLOTOV, his Soviet case officer who appears in LIST under the name of "LOEZ."b. 0-2218, H.-2262 and 11: 1336, dealing with the contacts between the leading Venezuelan Comunist, Carlos Auston and his Soviet case officer, Doris ?.

Double Agent CheckingDuring the past year, as in previous jears, a number of this Station's double agents have been moritored through LIFAT in contact with the Soviet Embass, thus enabling the Station to verify certain portions of weir reports and hence leading to a letter chance to evaluate the agento. Anong those heard in the past year wore LIBEL FE, Lil's son, LILEYOKADE LEACE and LINSTOCK-1. In each case LAT tended to confirm the Station's zexi opinion of the agent. on the other hand, several recent contacts former Statior agent LIVELOCK-3 and the Soviets indicate that LIVESTOCK-3 may be "plajing" with the Soviete or endeavoring to do so.8.

Intentions and Activities of the lexican LovermentDuring the early part of 1957 LIFFAT erabled the Station to assess reports it was receiving from another source concerning the changing and hardening of the Mexican government's attitude towards foreign Communists.

A-624001.-1769(2.4) is cited as containing a seemingly reliable report to the effect that in 1956 the Hexican presiucnt told the editor of one of Mexico's leaking newspapers that he should play down or omit anti-US articles and opinions.## 10. Infomation on the lexican Communist arts and Communist FontsDuring the past year considerable day to day detail was received from LILAT concerning the Fexican Communist Party and its fronts. The latter included the Circulo de Estudios ilexicanos (the intellectual author of which was covered in LEAT) and the Mexicar Fence Movement, society of friends of China and various art fronts (through coverage of an officer of those movements.) This information was of value in supplementing agent coverage of those orgmisations and occasionally provided information unknown to the agents. (C: 101-1657 and HMK-2285)## 11. Arcrican Communists in MexicoOne of the most extensive and productive coverages through LIFEAT in the past year was directed against American communists in Mexico. In this period several american targets were covertu at the request of OU VYard the production processed in part by then and in part by this Station. O assured the task of reporting most of the information on these subjects but provided the station with carton copies of their summaries of the pertinent reels and of the reports based thereon. The subjects thus covered for ODENVY were as follows, with a listing of the mumber of reels passed on each:a. Noah S30RR, possible American espionage agent for the Soviets (2) reels)b. Frederich Vanderbilt IED, Azerican Comunist, and his wife, Anita Boyer STLD (254 reels)c. Asa Colinski, American Communist agent(55 reels.)## 12. Of particular inportance in the coverage by LIFEAT was the Alfred Kaufmann ich was of particular interest not only to LAK butand Hartha Dodd STLR, caseAttachment to H-70639065 June 1957
[104-10188-10000.pdf — page 206]
also to ODENVY. This case was a part of the Jack S___es case; and LILEAT coverage of the STELIS has been outstandingly excellent. In fact, the Station has had three(3) commendations from Headquarters on the LILEAT coverage of this case and Edward P. SSSolm had a personal commendation from ASC.A on his work(LIFAT) on the case. Over ninety (90) reels have been produced by LILEAT on the STELIS between 9 February and 27 April 1957. Another interesting facet of this coverage is that on 6 February 1957 a cable from headquarters asked that the Station attempt to institute LILEAT coverage on the STELIS. At 1000 hours on 9 February 1957 LILEAT coverage had been completed and was producing.13. Miscellaneous CoveragesDuring the past year the following individual targets have been covered for periods of time varying from one month to a full year:a. Aaron Jose PSZISHA Margules, Jewish Communist leader. The coverage reflected the decline of the Jewish Communist movement and the relative inactivity of PSZISHA and was suspended.b. Noah SEBOKER, American Communist. He and his wife work for a travel agency and their traffic has reflected many details concerning the movements of Americans in and out of Mexico, many of them Communists.c. Samuel NAGID: Nagidin, Jewish Communist leader. This coverage confirmed the decline of the local Jewish Communist movement and the final liquidation of its headquarters. It reflected the names of the few active members who continue to meet informally. It was of especial value in covering the arrest of Chone SHEINRAUK, member of the Jewish Communist group, and in covering the deportation of Jacobo HURWITZ Zender, known Communist agent. From this coverage details were learned concerning the names of the lawyers used by the defendants, together with a considerable view of the methods and secondary contacts.d. Alfred K. (and Martha Dodd) SILK (see para 12), which was probably the most outstanding technical surveillance operation ever mounted by this Station and which is still continuing.e. Eduardo FACIO Morales, Venezuelan Communist. This coverage conveyed a host of details on the machinations and activities of the Venezuelan Communists in Mexico and to a lesser degree provided information on their contacts with the Soviets and Mexican Communists.f. Xavier GUERRERO. This coverage contained considerable detail on the Communist party, Society of Friends of China, Peace Front and other organizations of which GUERRERO was a member. It also contained details of great interest on various Latin American Communists and Americans with whom the GUERREROS were in contact. Information derived from this lineAttachment to [redacted]--7053[redacted]-9865 June 1957
[104-10188-10000.pdf — page 207]
was used in inducing the Mexican Government to deport Mario Sosa Lavarro and thus provided the Station with the means to test one of its more potent sources as well as check the accuracy of his progress reports.6. Narciso LASSOLS BASSOLS is a leading collaborator of the Soviets in Mexico. Coverage of his traffic showed him in contact with his Soviet case officer and gave details of interest on Mexican political matters and one important Communist front, the Circulo de Estudios Mexicanos, of which BASSOLS was the intellectual author though not a member.h. Asa ZAIZ Dolinska, American Communist mentioned above.i. Headquarters of the Liga Popular Israelita, Jewish Communist front. This coverage reflected that the Liga was almost defunct.j. Fernando Alberto KILLA, Argentino Naval Attache, who was covered briefly in connection with the proposed defection of a Soviet official with whom he was in contact.14. Microphone PhaseLIFEAT Project also includes the LICOOL phase. Reference is made to REMI 005 which describes a current BIOOL installation directed against a Soviet official.15. SummaryIn summary, LIFEAT constitutes one of Mexico City Station's chief assets; and it is the belief of COS Mexico that this operation(which is wholly BARA's and has no liaison or other service involved) is by far the best operation of its kind BARA has in the world.a. AccomplishmentsOn a general average over the past year LIFEAT has consisted of twenty-two(22) to twenty-three(23) simultaneous coverages, each of 24 hours per day. The targets covered have included major coverage of all those which rank highest in the Station's FND(Soviets, Poles and Czechs) as well as a large number of selected targets of opportunity. Approximately 15,000 pages of summary text have been obtained from the project. This information, though fragmentary at times and at times difficult to understand, is nevertheless documentary in nature. In detail, average coverage of the targets at the Station has been as follows:Soviets 8 Lines American Communists 3 linesCzeans 2 lines Remainder 8 linesPoles 2 linesAttachment to REMI-70639865 June 1957
[104-10188-10000.pdf — page 208]
# 14-00000## b. Planning for the FutureCurrent planning calls for the continuation of about 24 lines of coverage with bases and personnel being assembled to permit an increase to about 30 lines, local circumstances permitting. Basic coverage will be continued to the fullest extent possible on the Soviets, Poles and Czechs, which coverage of individual and targets of opportunity will be shifted so as to produce the greatest possible amounts of important information. At present it is believed that 30 lines is about the maximum the technical agents on this one operation. can mount and protect properly. In order to get more coverage, the Station will likely establish(if headquarters approves) a separate, independent LIFEAT-type operation, with new principals.## c. Performance of AgentsWhile in general the performance of the LIFEAT agents has been good in the past year, some of those connected with the group based on the family of former head agent James O. AYCALL have not been acting in a satisfactory manner. These are gradually being weeded out and new, more effective and fully compartmented base operators are being substituted for them. The Station's problem in this. connection is difficult since it is hard to recruit persons who combine the following qualifications necessary for base house operations:1.  absolute discretion;2.  willingness to cover the base 24 hours daily, year after year;3.  suitable cover;4.  willingness to obey complex orders to the letter year after year;5.  willingness to live in a situation of constant potential danger.## d. Status of Approved CommitmentsLIFEAT Project(as approved in HI--3740) contains most of the elements which will be necessary in Fiscal 1956. The main difference that will be noted in the attached Field Project Outline is that costs will be higher and one more base house will be added to the current list.Attachment to HI-A-70639865 June 1957

# PROJECT OUTLINECRYPTOLYM LIFSATFIELD CASE OFFICERSThras J. URUAKT1. Area of Operations Mexico City, lexicoLatthew S.DIGIHarvey R. Dennholz(Open)CHIEF OF STATIONWillard C. CUTTIS2. PurposeTo mount various types of technical surveillance operations, mainly telephonic, against the Soviet, Caech and olish diplomatic missions in Mexico; against important contacts of those instalations; and against leading Hexican and non-Mexican Communists and Communist sympathizers.3. DackgroundThis project was first approved 3 October 1950 and has been extended each year thereafter. Actual operations began 18 January 1951 and have been continuous, with small breaks for security or other operational reasons from that date. The project was last approved in H--3740, 19 November 1956.LIFEAT has been run since its inception without liaison and no plans now exist to change this arrangement.Over the past 6 years and 3 months LIFEAT has expanded from coverage of one (1) line to average of an average of atout twenty-four (24) lines, each being covered 24 hours per day. In all, over 40,000 pages of documentary information-on-prime-station targets has thus been obtained from this operation.4. ReferenceH-3740 19 Hoverber 1956, contains the last renewal of this project.a. This project has been one of the outstanding KUARK operations in the world. Certain elements at Headquarters recognize this. Chief, SR/CE states to this station during his visit in January 1957 that this was the only "LIFLAT-type" operation which was wholly KUBARK's and he said it vasPage 11Attachment to H--70639665 June 1957

# CLASSIFIEDthe best such operation. From Mexico has, it is shown that (unless something has developed very recently) is the best operation of its kind which KUSA has.b. Headquarters has stated:1. In DIR-03195 of 18 Feb. 1957, WIHS commands Station prompt and effective coverage and handling this case;2. In DIR-09958 of 29 March 1957, "Good work";3. In DIR-11936 of 12 April 1957, "ODULVI and we(as) are most gratified by initiative and success your coverage".All of these referred to LIFEAT coverages.c. The Director has personally commended the Station officer for his work in one line's coverage in this operation; and has orally stated to COS, Mexico that this is an excellent operation.5. ObjectivesTo carry out this Station's obligations in conformity with its Related Mission Directive, through technical surveillance operations. The product from this operation is coordinated with other Station operations, with especial attention to Soviet, Polish and Czech activities.6. TargetsPrimary targets covered in this operation are:*   Soviet Embassy and residences of Soviet officials;*   Czech Legation;*   Polish Legation; and*   Alfred Kaufmann.(and Martha Dodd) STIU.Secondary targets are:*   Soviet, Polish and Czech agents;*   Mexican and foreign Communists; and*   American Communists.7. Tasksa. To maintain and operate existing project facilities and establishments;b. To support similar coverage when need or opportunity arises;Page 12Attachment to -70535 June 1957

c. To recruit, train and administer such agents as the project requires;d. To issue such reports as are deemed necessary, based on material acquired from the project;e. To coordinate information obtained from the project with other Station operations;and f. To provide EUIOT with operational information and reports on experience obtained from the project.8. CoordinationLIFEAT information is very closely coordinated with all other operations at this Station but does not require operational coordination with any other area. However, when the project yields information of interest to other areas, these areas are informed.9.

Set forth below is a discussion of the cover of the non-diplomatic personnel in the operation.1. David L. WESIED: Partner in small family-run machinery business. His Mexican documentation is complete and legitimate.2. Ralph RAFAELI: Fully documented employee of LIFROCK, who has in the past provided similar cover for undercover agents.3. LIEMATER: His natural cover is of employee of the local telephone company, which he has been for a number of years.4. LIEMATER-1: Enjoys natural cover as a telephone company employee.5. LIEMATER-2: Enjoys natural cover as telephone employee.6. LIMESTONE-1: She is an elderly person and hence can logically have income from family estate. Does not attract attention.7. LIMESTONE-2: Brother of LIMESTONE-1 and resides with her. Is elderly and can pass as a poor relative and retainer.8. LIMESTONE-3: Has been engaged in obtaining small government contracts and moves in and out of various government offices. Unfortunately his cover is not really good and steps must be taken to improve it if he is to remain in our employ.9. LIMESTONE-4: Elderly woman who has had large business enterprises in the past and who does not need to explain her source of income for this reason.10. LIMESTONE-5: Father-in-law of LIMESTONE-3 and ostensibly dependent on him.11. LIMESTONE-7: Widow of James O. McCALL, who was widely regarded as a man of means. Hence she ostensibly lives on his estate. This woman has a tendency to live beyond her means, however, and is a cause for anxiety.Page 16Attachment to HCL-4-70639865 June 1957
