4. Turnover to Rodigast. After getting S/1's unhesitating agreement   to an LCFLUTTER examination and his signature on a Secrecy Agreement   on 2 June, Tiffany introduced him to Rodigast, under the alias   "Paul Weller" on the morning of 3 June. It was explained that Rodigast   would serve as S/1 point of contact in the future. S/1 and Rodigast   hit it off well from the outset, the latter's knowledge of Paris and   Tangiers-based American beatniks and other intellectuals serving him   well in the rapport-building process. Rodigast has laid firm   meeting arrangements for Paris and has discussed arrangements for   meeting S/1 at least twice during the summer outside Algiers. Final   agreement on a mid July meeting will be made in Paris to conform to a normal   pattern by S/1 and arrangements which S/1 succeeds in developing in Lausanne and   Paris. In the process of discussing communications Rodigast is also   imparting instruction in good security practices on the part of S/1.   Rodigast will instruct S/1 in the use of SW in Paris. Hopefully,   Rodigast will be able to spend a day or two with S/1 in Paris, even   though we want S/1 to get to Algiers as soon as possible.5. Financial Arrangements. After discussing all possible alternatives,   it was decided that the most secure arrangement would be to give S/1   an advance of the equivalent of $200 for his-travel London-Brussels-   Lausanne- Paris and per diem and his an advance of the equivalent of   $600 for his June salary plus non-accountable expenses. These advances   were made and signed for on 3 June. One important reason for   the large cash advance was the fact that S/1 was completely   broke, and he had to make some funds available to his wife to meet   expenses and pay off a 65 pound Sterling debt to his brother-in-law before   leaving on his trip. (S/1 will explain the funds as the last of the   advances and payments for articles by *Encounter* and other publications.)   For essentially the same reason (poverty) we agreed to make S/1's July   and August salary payments in advance (to be paid into his Swiss bank   account on the first of each month). We recognize that this procedure is
[104-10217-10221.pdf — page 54]
-3-somewhat irregular, but we went ahead with it principally on the grounds that this was necessary to head off the security and morale problems posed by an irate wife.6. In the course of his initial talk with S/1, Rodigast pursued the matter of the allegations nade at various tires in the past to the effect that S/1 is or was a "CIA agent" or "FBI agent". S/A explained the situation as follows:a. 5/1 was a schoolmate of William Gardner Smith, and with Smith's encouragement came to Paris and worked with Smith on the English desk of Agence France Presse. 5/1 took over the left bank apartment of Ollie Harrington, American Negro cartoonist and CPUSA member. S/1 had a falling-out with Harrington over the apartment (rent), and in what he describes as a moment of weakness he sought revenge by forging a letter with Harrington's signature which indicated support for the FLN (Algeriah nationalists); at that time the French were extremely sensitive to the subject, of course, and S/1's act was designed to hurt Harrington, and perhaps his friends as well. S/1 was found out, and questioned by the French police; his break with William Gardner Smith and that crowd dates from this noment. S/1 had been forced to write an apology to Farrington, confessing to the forgery.b. S/1 believes that Jacques Vergès obtained the letter of apology (to Harrington) from Smith or from Ellen Wright (an American, white, widow of the Negro novelist Richard Wright; she continues to reside in Paris as a literary agent handling books of writers connected with Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir; S/1 says that she is a friend of Harrington). As for Harrington, S/1 believes he is now in Ghana or in East Germany; in East Germany he has American friends: a Negro singer Aubrey Pankey and his white wife Kay; she is an editor of the East German publishing house Seven Seas (which prints books in English), and is close to Shirley Grahan Dubois.c. The CPUSA knew of the Harrington forgery and
[104-10217-10221.pdf — page 55]
according to S/1 told the Cubans about it, since the CPUSA hoped to discredit S/1 and put their own people in teach with the Cubans. S/1 told the Cubans a tall tale which he hopes they believed (among those he spoke to was Roa): he said that during the French drive against the FLN various people were writing letters in support of the Algerians and signing prominent names to them, and that the Harrington forgery was carried out in this spirit.d. The hostility to S/1 from Ainslee and McGowan had as its origin their anger that Verges had given S/1 a job that should have gone to an Englishman (or woman); they felt that Africa was a problem of the British CP; and so they spread the story about S/1.e. Rodigast recalled that William Gardner Smith had once written a letter to the Paris Herald Tribune denying that a pro-Castro letter which appeared several days earlier signed W G Smith had been sent by him. At the time (perhaps 18 months ago) Smith told Rodigast, who questioned him on the matter, "Oh, that's an old story." Without indicating that he knew Smith, Rodigast raised the question of Smith's Herald Tribune letter to S/1, who said he had never seen it or heard of it before.f. Rodigast gave S/1 the recent clipping from Le Monde which indicated that Patricia MacGowan's husband or lover Carlos Lansa had been arrested by the Algerians in connection with the investigation of the Delgado killing. Rodigast warned S/1 that we did not know whether a charge would be made, or indeed whether Lansa had already been released along with others arrested at the same time. Nevertheless S/1 thought the clipping would be useful to show to those not terribly familiar with the details, but who might be favorably influenced by a report showing that the people who denounced 5/1 as a "CIA agent" had also sent Delgado to his death.7. Questioned on his residence status vis a vis French and Swiss authorities, S/1 said:a. He feels he can come and go to Switzerland without
[104-10217-10221.pdf — page 56]
problems. When Revolution was closed com by the Swiss, 8/1 was calledin and notified that he had three months to leave the country becauseof the undesirable nature of his activities; the Swiss told NilsAnderssen informally that should S/1 change to a "desirable" activityhe would be allowed to stay. Following his departure on what S/1considered very polite teras (i.e., the three-month notice period),S/1 traveled regularly to Switzerland (once a month, on Revolutionbusiness), although he tries to arrive by means which expose him tominimal border checks (train rather than plane, and Trans Europe Expressbest of all) and while in Switzerland lives with friends rather thanin a hotel to avoid having to fill out police cards. (S/1 was notifiedof his expulsion in September 1963 and left in December before thedeadline. His most recent trips were in January-February 1965.)b. S/1 was never arrested by the French, merelyinterrogated on the Harrington forgery charge. He has resided inParis since that time. During the early stages of S/1's suit againstVergès for payment of back wages, Verges' attorney said in open courtthat S/1 had been in France illegally (as he had no carte de sejour;he could not obtain one since Vergès never agreed to a work contractwhich would be required at the time of application for a carte de sejour).(In connection with the Verges suit: S/1's French lawyer PierreSchwarzenberg, has not pressed the charges; hés is a Communist andan old friend of Vergès, and told S/l he believed he could obtain asettlement through persuasion. S/1 has already paid Schwarzenberg'sfee (the money was obtained from S/1's brother-in-law), and does not.know whether he can whip up Schwarzenberg's enthusiasm. Should S/1win a judgement for the some $5000 owed to him, he could force Verges!bankruptcy (there is a printer in the same legal position who hasnot insisted on payment because he is reluctant to bring on bankruptcy).S/1 says that it is possible that if he engaged a first-class non-Communistattorney in France (who would have to be paid in advance) he night achieve
[104-10217-10221.pdf — page 57]
this goal, but it is not certain that he could get the original feeback from Schwarzenberg.8. For future contacts, Redigast gave S/1 "an alias I am using:   James Sunderland, c/o American Express, 11 rue Scribe, Paris 9, the   "c/o American Express" being optional. Rodigast will also look into   the possibility of emergency contact via want ads placed in Alger   Republicain or Le Peuple (the latter is preferred by 5/1), which Rodigast   believes will be purchased and read daily by LCPIPIT during the summer   anyway-- they arrive in Paris a day or two after publication. S/1   could advertise for a stenographer able to take perfect English shorthand,   for example.![Signature of Rufus F. Rodigast]Rufus F. Rodigast![Signature of Joseph S. Tiffany]Joseph S.
