# CONFIDENTIALDirector, Domestic Contact ServiceC. DelaneyChief, New York Field Office177 104-6615 February 1966Inquiry Concerning CIA Connection of Herbert Itkin,New York Lawyer1.  A call received on the listed telephone of the New York Office on the afternoon of 15 February 1966 concerned claims by Herbert Itkin, a lawyer now practicing in New York City, to the effect that he was closely tied in to the CIA.2.  The call was made by Mr. E. Kent Kane, R.D. #1, Rome, Pennsylvania. Mr. Kane is a prominent attorney in Pennsylvania, Naval Reserve Officer (USNR 152547), a Republican politician who gave the present Governor and Senator Hugh Scott as references.3.  Herbert Itkin is a former son-in-law of Mr. Kane's. Itkin allegedly claimed that he had been of considerable assistance to CIA in Haiti and elsewhere. The implication was that he was a trusted CIA informant or agent, not a staff employee.4.  Mr. Kane contacted this office for two specific reasons:(a) He wanted to warn CIA that Itkin was not at this time a desirable CIA contact because of doubts concerning his reliability, discretion, ability to meet his financial obligations, and mental equilibrium.(b) He (Kane) did not wish to proceed any further in pursuing his (unspecified) course of action against Itkin if there were any substance to Itkin's claims. Put in another way, Kane is planning to take some action against his former son-in-law, and he wants to disprove the latter's claims of some CIA affiliation or backing before proceeding further.5.  Mr. Kane phoned the New York office from a room at the Hotel Drake, New York City, prior to his departure for
[104-10218-10013.pdf — page 39]
CONFIDENTIAL-2-SY 104-6615 February 1956Florida. He thought perhaps this office could clear up his problem. Recently, Itkin phoned Kane from New York and put on an alleged CIA staffer, who identified himself only as "Charley" and who dutifully confirmed Itkin's value to the Agency. Kano is suspicious of the whole business.6. He explained that it would take some time to have our headquarters check this out. Although Kano would have liked an immediate response, he agreed that a written advice to his Kane, Pennsylvania, address within two weeks would satisfy him. Such a reply could be quite cryptic and need not be signed. We assumed that it would originate in Washington rather than in New York. Mr. Kano did not ask for our name and was given no name.Jay B. L.

# Chief of Station, Port au PrinceFROM:Chief, INSUBJECT:Conversation with IDEN-A on 3 October 1963 with WGS fan (Isidro Alias)1. I called on IDEN-A at the home of his son-in-law in ZRITTAL. IDEN-A remembered me from our previous meeting in May of this year, and his greeting was cordial. He said that he was in ZRITTAL and was going to New York for the purpose of raking the situation of his followers known and to see if he could obtain support for maintaining his activist following in the DR.2. IDEN-A believes that it has now been proven that no reliance could be placed on any of the Haitian military: EVLUSH/1 is obviously finished; EVLIFE/1 is unwilling to act without positive guarantees of CDYCEE support; Colonel Arrand is able but weak; and General Foucicault lacks courage. Colonel Biambi is a good man but is being supported by the Dominican government. If anything effective is to be done, it must be done through non-military personalities. Only a national leader who has the support of the people can do anything effective. Had he been in charge of the EVLUSH/1 effort, the peasants would have rallied to the invading forces, but they will not do so to a force under the command of a military man.3. IDEN-A's camp is still in existence in the DR and contains about 70 men at present. Among these are EVLUTE/4 and Henri Clermont. He said that EVLUTE/4 is able but somewhat erratic and he (IDEN-A) fears that he would accept support from any source including the Communists, though he knows that EVLUTE/4 is not himself a communist. He likewise mistrusts the EVLUTE group because it's leadership is too far to the left. Again, he does not believe that the members of EVLUTE are themselves Communists, but they attempted to obtain support from Mexican Communists.4. IDEN-A concerned at the moment in obtaining support to enable him to continue feeding the men in his camp. He said that he has been informed that the former followers of EVLUSH/1 are now flocking in, thus placing an intolerable burden on his slim resources. He needs a few thousand dollars for food supplies and hopes to get some help in New York from CARE or some other philanthropic organization.5. IDEN-A regrets the overthrow of the Bosch government. He says that he is aware of Bosch's shortcomings as an administrator, but that he had the interests of the Dominican Republic at heart and had demonstrated his sympathies for IDEN-A and his followers. Nevertheless,CONTINUED201-24045311 OCT 19339 October 1963

COORDINATION OFDISPATCHSEC A.TINFO 607- believes that he will be able to have a friendly relationship with the people. He has an appointment to see Ambassador Jese and hopes to obtain his support. He also is a close friend of and believes this will stand him in good stead. He thinks that the new government must be recognized within 60 days.6. He has received some aid from PATRIE friends and from Cuban and Dominican private individuals. He did not further identify them other than to say that they were not the same persons who had supported EVLUSH/1 who had been counting on the support of Masferrer. This support had not been forthcoming due to the fact that certain of the Haitians and Cubans that Masferrer was supposed to provide, refused to work with Masferrer. IDEN's Cuban supporters' aim is to use Haiti as a base against Cuba. He agrees this should be done.7. IDEN-A is certain that Garrido informed EVHAYA of EVLUSH/1's plans. He said that Garrido was greedy and would take money from any source.8. IDEN-A says that ODYOKE plans to send a new ambassador to Haiti will greatly strengthen the government. He said this fact is known and has caused considerable disappointment among exiles. (I made no comment on this.)9. IDEN-A had wanted to bring these matters to the attention of IDEN-B. He has no selfish ambition. In outlook, he is a Catholic and a capitalist who wants to do what he can for his country. This is his sole reason for wanting to be President. I explained that his views would be made known to IDEN-B and other interested senior officials. IDEN-B regretted not being able to talk to him personally, but was prevented from doing so at present due to the many demands on his time caused by the present critical situation in the Caribbean.10. Car parting was cordial and IDEN-A said that when he returned to the DR in the next few days, he would be glad to establish contact with one of my associates should we desire to do this. I told him that should it be necessary to get in touch with him, the person chosen would identify himself as my friend.END OF DISPATCHDistribution:Original & 1 - Fort au PrinceIDENS (U/S/C)CLASSIFICATIONPAGE NO.SECRET
