2 May, 1966Subject: Sallace B Eowton Contact with Carlos Jurado.1. At about 1830 on 2 ay, 1966, Roston dropped into the Salon de La Fiastica Mexicana in the hope of running into Subject so that he could renew contact more or less casually.2. Fortunately as soon as he stepped into the door he found Subject engaged in conversation with the receptionist and another person (probably a Mexican employe of the Salon). When Subject spotted howton he brcke off his conversation and moved away to greet Rowton cordially. He said that he had himself just arrived at the Salon and was very hapy to run into nowton again. After a few griff remarks, he invited Roston to coffee in a nearby care. howton accepted and they both left the Sa-3. Reaton remained with Subject in conversation over coffee for about 45 minutes. Subject expressed gratification in having zet Rowtón and several times reassured Boston that he enjoyed conversing with him regardless of whether he made an sale of his painting or not. Roston reverted to the theme that he had a genuine interest in subject's future and hoped in some way to provide Jubject with the means of becoming relatively independent so that he could travel and carry on his art work freely. Roston added that he had given much thought to the idea of using Subject to help him in his economic research, since this would justify Rowton's patsing Subj ct on his ex; ense account. He then questioned Subject on his possible connections in Mexico, but Subject confessed that he had only limited contacts that probably wo ld not be useful to Roston. Rowton then moved into the target question. He stated that most of his clients in England, Frence and Greece were interested in Cuban requirements and perhaps Subject was in a unique position to prepare a report on what the Cuban econcas required at the moment. Subject responded without bestitation that he could do something on Cuba without too much ifficulty. He explained that he knew official Cubars in bexico City, including those in the Commercial Dission, and could travel into Cuba if necessary.4. Roxton then stressed that he really did not need too many statistics on the Cuban economy nor contact with the Cubans but wanted somehow to Justify helping Subject financially. He explained that he could easily assemble some data himself, but wanted subject to do something concrete so that he would remain in the picture ang koton could consider him inatt Fits 4MMA 28875

2. a sort of stringer in reporting of economic developments.. Jubjectreplied that he understood and did not see that such a task would betoo difficult.5. Roston then asked Subject how he was coming in locating a new aprt-   ment/studio. Subject replied that he had found a desire le place near   Chapultepec, and hoped to be able to nove soon. Howton then commented   that he might have to leave for Paris in the next few days and would be   away for about two weeks on business. He stated that he might be able   to help subject with the rent on his studio provided it had a phone.   Rowton explained that he was at present paying 350 pesos monthly for   secretarial service and could just as well pay Subject something for   taking telephone messages. Jubject replied that he would be glad to   be of service to Rowton without compensation ( "mi casa es suya")on   such a matter.6. Rowton then turned the conversation to Subjects wife and family.   Subject revealed that his wife's maiden name ( apellido) was the   Chinese translation of "Flor de Durazno". He pronounced it in Chinese   for Rowten but Rowton made no attempt to transliterate it and at this   point cannot recall the phonetic pronunciation. Subject added that Chi-   chay is a Cuban corruption of the Chinese given came. In reply to How-   ton's direct query, Subject stated that his fe's father mother is in   Cuba but her father is in New York. de added that her father did not   agree with the revolution and left but the rest of the fasily remained.   He also stated that her mother has not remarried and lives with her   brothers and sisters. Subject added that his wife feit no bitterness   toward her father and in fact the father whites regularly once a woek   from New York. wowton did not press for an adress at the time, feeling   that it Rould be more discreet to wait for en orening at a subsequent   meeting(when he could allege that he was planning to stop over in Kew   York).7. nowten took the occasion of his alleged impending departure to ask   for Subject's home address so that he could write from Curope. Subject   stated that since he might move it would be better for Boston to write   to him care of the Salon rather than to his present address.8. On leaving subject Ro ton promised to pass by the Salon again before   he left so that he could say goodbye to Subject.Wallace & Howton'

2 May, 1966Subject: Wallace B. Rowton Contact with Carlos Jurado.1. When Rowton arrived at the entrance to the Bellas Artes Building at 1100 on 30 April, as planned, he found Subject waiting on the steps. Subject greeted Rowton cordially and sugested that they take a taxi since the Ministry of Education building was a little too far to walk to. He then hailed a taxi and instructed the driver to take them to the Secretaria de Loucation Publica on Calle Argentina.2. On arrival he escorted Rowton through the court-yand of the building and explained the murals of Diego Rivera. He commented that he felt the murals were superior to those at the frado Hotel and commented since they had more "social meaning". He stressed the hardship under which Rivera had worked, which included some physical danger from certain elements opposed to his socialist ideas. Rowton picked up this theme in relationship to Subject's own situation in an attempt to elicit as much information as possible concerning Subject's financialstatus and position vis-a-vis the Mexican government.3. In the course of conversation Subject stated that he had received relatively little understanding and sympathy frca the government of-ficials as a whole but did receive some sup ort from the Instituto Kacional de Bellas Artes. He explained that he was able to earn enough money from teaching assignments to be relatively independent, and not depend on sales of his picutres to make a living. In reply to Rowton's comment to the effect that perhaps his wife could find some employment to help Subject, the latter replied that his wife could not work because of her status. He quickly added that he pro-bably would not find it difficult to procure working papers for her, but he preferred not to do so at least at the present time.4. After completing his tour of the Secretariat of Education uilding, Subject invited Rowton to view the murals of the Supreme Court Buil-ding on fiño Suarez, which de described as superior even to those of Diego Rivera, especially because of their open defiance of official opinion. On the way Rowton continued to put discreet questions concerning subject's personal life. Subject replied by revealing that
[104-10266-10138.pdf — page 390]
2. he lived with his wife and three-year-ol. child in a very small apartment near Jan Angel and shared a studio with another artet.) He added that he was paving 650 pesos menthly rent which he considered very high for what he has getting. He also complained that the artist with whom he was sharing the studio was a dil ettante who was more interested in the atmosphere of the Latin Quarter then in art for its own sake. He said he found it difficult to paint with guitars playing and cocktail glasses clinking in the ackground. Subject then stated that he was looking for a more suitable arrangemont, perhaps in a condominio and preferably in the Tacubaya area.5. In connection with his own future hopes, Subject stated that he wanted very much to travel to gain as much experience as possible so that his style could be crystalized. He commented that he could move easily to Cuba since his wife's family lived there and he could get along with the Cuban authorities, but he felt lexico was botter for him at the moment. He expressed preference for Sweden, Korth africa and Greece. In reply to kowton's queries, he stated that he did not feel that his daughter would present a problem, since he could leave her in the care of his or his wife's relatives. He added that she was currently attending a Jardin de Niños in the mornings and doing very well despite her tender age.6. Subject commented also that he likedtravel so much that he had joined the Mexican Navy to see the world. He added that he had been able to visit almost all the potts of the east and west coasts of North and Central America but had not succeeded in seeing Europe as he had hoped. Since Rowton was posing as a Greek, Subject expressed great interest in visiting Athens and the Middle East, and at one point asked Howton how much money he would need to live in Athens for a month as a tourist.. Subject also stated that both he and his wife were anxious to leara English and French so that they could absorb as much local culture as possible in their travels.7. After inviting Rowton to coffee at a nearby restaurant, subject stated that he had to meet his wife and some friend's for lunch and left Row-ton at about 1335 in front of the Cathedral. He promised to telephone Rowton again so that they could get together before Rost n left the country.Wallace B howton

27 April, 1966Subject: Wallace B Rowton Contact with Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Jurado. (from LITA WT-2)1. Following a Station lead to the effect that Mrs. Chichay Jurado, who is employed by the Cuban Consulate in Mexico City, is the daughter of a Cuban residing in New York City, Rowton visited the Salon de la Plastica Mexicana, Calle Havre 7, where Carlos Jurado's paintings were on exhibit. After several unsuccessful attempts to meet Jurado by chance at the salon, Rowton left his alias and telephone answering service number with the receptionist on 14 April, 1966, and asked that Jurado contact him for a meeting. On 18 April Rowton again visited the salon (having received no message through the answering service) and fortunately met Jurado who had dropped in to pick up messages from the receptionist.2. Rowton explained that he was interested in Jurado's style, particularly for a mural that might go well in a New York night club owned by a friend of his. Jurado was, of course, immediately interested and commented that he was most anxious to visit New York to see the Museums. In answer to Rowton's query, he stated that he did not have any relatives in New York and had never been outside Mexico. Rowton invited Jurado and his wife to dinner the following evening so that they could discuss the proposed mural. (Rowton planned, if pressed, to use the "La Chansonette" night-club restaurant owned by his Greek friend Rita Dimitri as the prospective client).3. On 19 April at 1930 Rowton met Jurado at the Salon as planned. Fortunately Jurado had brought his wife Chichay along as Rowton had suggested. Rowton invited them to dinner at the Restaurante &
[104-10266-10138.pdf — page 392]
2. "El 77" at Calle Londres 77. Neither had eaten there previously and appeared delighted at the opportunity to enjoy a good dinner.4. In the course of conversation, Jurado stated that his wife Chichay was born in Cuba and that they had a three-year old daughter. Neither he nor Chichay made any reference to her employment at the Consulate and "owton did not feel it wise to press too hard on that subject. Howton again asked whether Jurado had any relatives in New York in the event it might be advisable for him to travel there in connection with the mural, but neither he nor his wife responded in the affirmative.5. Later in the evening, Jurado and his wife strolled clone Niza Calie Niza and Reforma to the Fotel Hilton with Rowton. This gave Rowton an opportunity to sound them out on politics with specific reference to Cuba. Rowton pretended to be of Greek-Irish parentage and more or less neutral in his own politicel views with respect to Cuba. Chichay Jurado stated that she felt Cuba was doing well and that the relovution was the only answer to the corruption that had existed previously. Carlos Jurado agreed, commenting that the "Dorthamerican" position with regard to Cuba was unfortunately erroneous and short-sighted. Rowton placed much of the blame on the former Batista regime but lamented the fact that in the meantime the Cuban people ware suffering from the mistakes of the politicians.6. While walking along Reforza, Carlos Jurado commented that his wife's father was Chinese but did not indicate where he was then residing. Chichay Jurado stated that she had learned some Cantonese as a child, but did not consider herself proficient in Chinese.7. Before leaving him for the evening, Carlos Jurado invited Rowton to visit some of the better murals in Mexico City on Saturday, 23 April, and promisedd to telephone Roxton to set the time and

He asked Routon to obtain as soon as possible the measurements of the proposed mural and photographs of of the owner so that he could make a sample painting.Wallace B Routon
