# SECRETMEMORANDUM FOR FILESUBJECT: HUMANOID 28 Sept. 531. During the debriefing of HUMANOID in Washington in August-September 1953, his wife mentioned an individual whom she had come in contact with while in San Jose.2. This person was first seen in the Argentine Embassy where she was arranging papers for their travel there later. She had seen him previously around in San Jose, dressed in sport clothes and apparently a "playboy." He injected himself into a discussion between the Argentine Consul and HUMANOID's wife, showing great knowledge of Argentine visa regulations. This occurred in early July 1953.3. HUMANOID's wife again saw the same individual in Panama on 22 August 1953, at which time she pretended at first not to know her, and then "recognized" her, but did not mention their meeting in the Argentine Embassy in San Jose.4. Her description of the person is as follows:height: about 6'age: apparently 30hair: receding at templeseyes: not brown or black, probably hazel or greycomplexion: ruddy, young looking face, which was long and thincharacteristics: Smokes heavily, with dark stains right fingers. Top tooth on left side chipped. Wore dark glasses. Considered self quite a ladies man.languages: Speaks Spanish with Argentine accent. Speaks English well since seen talking with U.S. soldiers in San Jose5. When was seen in Panama, he was dressed as a common laborer and told HUMANOID's wife that he was working on a "fertilizer ship" there.6. At no time did HUMANOID himself see this person.7. A picture of Hugo Ramiro RODOLFO, the ex-argentine labor attache in Panama, was shown to HUMANOID's wife who stated positively that he was not the person she saw in Costa Rica and Panama.501-168881

# SECRET## SECURITY INFORMATIONFile BIRADIAL18 September 1953MEMORANDUM FR FILESUBJECT: HUMANOID1.  During the time that HUMANOID was at Headquarters on TDY in late August and Early September, he raised the question of the citizenship status of his wife, who has not yet taken out her first papers but wished to do so if possible. His question was whether it was operationally desirable on our part, which I answered saying it would be XXX (after talking with Mr. Heyn). Actually, there is no strong advantage, but at least it should be started sometime, and there is no advantage to us in having her remain a Costa Rican since she will be an American citizen at sore date in the future.2.  When HUMANOID left on his vacation, it was understood that I would be checking with Mr. Heyn about the means by which his wife might be able to start her papers while HUMANOID is in training at Headquarters. My understanding is that she would have to leave the country and reenter as an immigrant quota since she is presently on a tourist visa and cannot as such apply for citizenship even if her husband in a U.S. citizen.3.  Mr. Heyn informed me that there is a section which handled these questions of citizenship for people we are interested in, and said he would be checking with that person. I told HUM NOID that the next person who handled him would be able to give him further details on this whole matter.4.  I would recommend that HUMANOID be given all help possible to have his wife started on her papers before they go our under BIFADIAL, since they will be gone for two years at a minimum and will be delaying her citizenship that much longer if nothing is started while they are here in the country.Decided not to try for30 day citizenship dueto Cover ProblemsWife would have toreturn Costa Rica andre-enter U.S. anyway.SECRET201-16881

SECRET10 Sept 53MEMORANDUM FOR RECORDSUBJECT: Interview with Arthur G. VAIVADA1.  On 9 September 1953 subject was again contacted at his apartment and the new contract was signed. Subject was told that the contract clause dealing with additional commitments not included in the contract was standard agency protection against unauthorized promises by persons contacting him, such as the case officer. He was told, however, that the case officer's personal experience has been that the agency makes all possible efforts to act in good faith and with common sense if contract problems arise at a later date.2.  The "offset"provisions of the contract was explained, emphasizing the agency's view that any future cover business activity on his part would be possible only because of the salary we pay. Therefor, modest profits, if any, would be offset against salary due to him. It was pointed out that the case officer's understanding was that if subject's diligence resulted in sizable profits, the agency would probably consider revising the contract to allow subject a share of the profits. However, subject agreed that this question was really subordinate to the main purpose of a cover activity, which would be to obtain cover, not profits.NOTE: Subject's questions appeared motivated by the contract form, which was more complicated and "legalistic" in appearance than the new written in the field under which he has been operating for the past four years. His attitude at all times was most cooperative, and he agreed that the spirit in which the contract was carried out, on both sides, was as important as the provisions. It was carefully explained to him that the contract served the double purpose of defining the rights and obligations of both himself and the agency, and for that reason may at points seem more "legalistic" than regularly necessary. However, subject stated several times that he had had nothing but the best of relations with the persons who have directed him so far, and it is the case officer's opinion that he has the utmost faith in the good intentions of the agency.3.  Subject was informed that "Career" status, in which he has expressed interest over the past two years, would be considered at the end of the present two year contract, and would depend on his operational success during that period and his ability to provide durable cover which would enable hi to continue working for us.4.  The subject's travel reimbursement is being handled by Hanke (x3504), and will be ready for him when he returns to Washington on or about 2 October. Subject went on vacation effective 10 September and will be at the following addresses during his vacation:September 10-14: Fran Williams5846 Access RoadPage ManorWright-PattersonDayton, ChicSeptember 15-25: Mr. L. E. CrozierRR No 2Harton, Illinois201-168575.  Subject will contact the case officer on his return to Washington. He has been given the following address in case he wants to contact us before that time:    Paul F. Brandon, P.O. Box 262, Mt. Rainier Station, Md.(Signed) J.G. Hauke

-2-SECRETSecurity Informationd. Subject will use a cover story while in Weshington that he is studying at George Washington University in the field of Economics.d. Subject's wife has a clsoe friend in Argentine who is married to an Argentine army sergeant. Her nore is Alicia Castro de CRUZ, 25 de l'ayo #5327, l'ar del Plata, Argentina. This name has been given to the Argentine Corsul es a charecter reference.f. Subject has 6-7 months of GI bill eligibility left for Argentine studies.g. Due to the fact that subject's wife has been witting of his general activities, it was carefully explained him that the agency had certain reservetions considering this point. Emphasis was put on the point that good operational security practices in his future assignment would be of extreme importance for obvicus reasons. It was pointed out that this interir period in Washington vould te an ideal time to sererete his activites from home life since his wife would no longer be in a community where she and her husband were well known. He was frank in admitting that he realized the dangers also, and would cooperate to the fullesteatent.NOTE: Subject is sensible in his aprreech to security and appears to think through each problem on its own serits. The extent of his wife's knowledge was to know that he was "going out to (a section of San Jose) for business reasons". She wes . wit' ing of his conrection with Communist activites, since on several occasions she was able to contact persons when it was not suitable for him to do so. At no time has she pressed him for information, and his general feeling is that she should be told only enough to explain urdue al sences from home. He was cautioned that his future superiors whold take a dim view of his wife's perticizetion, even to the limited extent he has indicated did occur in the past. He agreed that being in a new community with no local friends of long standing would make tissit easier for them io start on this new basis.It is the case officer's opinion that subject has carefully controlled his fife's knowledge and acted prudently in matters involving security. His operational achievements are evidence that his security practises have been sound, and it is believed that four years of covert contact with a well-known Communist in San Jose with no security breaches are sufficient proof of his wife's security consciousness.
