suspicious that he has turned it over to the FBI. The conversation was then concluded.15. Shortly thereafter, according to Mr. HUGHES (also confirmed by Mr. FAY), a person who identified himself as Gordon NEVILLE, NEVEL OR NOVEL called the FBI Office and said he registered in Room 551 at the Ambassador East and that he was in Chicago on a matter involving James GARRISON and a legal action against Playboy Magazine for defamation of character or some such vague explanation. Agent FAY was recontacted by CFO regarding the above telephone call, but he was unable to add to, or clarify the details of the call. Agent FAY said he prepared a brief memorandum on the case and closed it.16. Mr. HUGHES said he has suspected all along that the telephone calls were either made by, or instigated by one Gordon NEVIL, NEVILLE or NOVEL (HUGHES professed only phonetic spelling; however, Headquarters, after an indices check, later said that it was probably Gordon NOVEL, who had previously owned a bar in New Orleans and who had previously claimed an affiliation with the Agency).17. Mr. HUGHES said that he has a little background on Gordon NOVEL and it may have a bearing on the recent events. Mr HUGHES said that about three years ago, he met one Abbey MULLIGAN a native of Tennessee, who was then working as a bunny in the Playboy Club in Chicago. Abbey has also worked at Playboy Clubs in New Orleans, Cincinnati, London and other places. A few years ago, Abbey married NOVEL, whom she met in New Orleans. Since that time, Abbey and NOVEL have made their home in the Columbus, Ohio area. They have had a lot of fights and arguments and have been separated on several occasions, Abbey has filed for a divorce. Presently, Abbey is living in Columbus with her parents, the John MULLIGANS18. Mr. HUGHES further related that NOVEL lives by his wits and is not to be trusted; that NOVEL engages in "private oye" work of questionable practices; that he (NOVEL) reportedly taps telephones, "bugs" rooms and takes photographs, all of which are in connection with questionable activities; and that NOVEL, in the past, according to Abbey, has claimed working for the Agency.19. Mr. HUGHES further related that he has no romantic interests, such as marriage, with Abbey and looks upon her as a good friend. Last summer, Mr. HUGHES arranged for Abbey to spend a few weeks in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Mr. HUGHES was there also. Mr. HUGHES said that he made elaborate procautions to make sure that Abbey couldn't be traced directly from Columbus to Florida. He had Abboy fly to Chicago and then catch another plane to Florida. Somehow, MI, HUGHES further related, NOVEL found out about their trip to Florida, according to Abbey.

20. In conclusion, Mr. HUGHES said that NOVEL is a very, very shady character who is not to be trusted. Mr. HUGHES has never met NOVEL. Based upon what he knows about NOVEL, he believes NOVEL would engage in extortion, bribery, blackmail, etc.21.

The confidential source    further related that he has always wondered about the source    of HUGHES' money. HUGHES has various business investments,    Including somo Apartment buildings and an interest in the    Maryland Hotel. The source pointed out that the Maryland    Hotel has always been identified as h having ownership in the    Chicago syndicate. The source speculated that HUGHES may be    a front man or have some support from the Syndicate; however,    he (confidential source) has never known HUGHES to be involved    in any Syndicate operations or activities.

13-00000SECRET14 August 1968SUBJECT: GUGAS, ChrisSubject is identified as a California investigator who administered a polygraph test to Edgar Eugene BRADLEY who has been charged with conspiracy by GARRISON.Subject was born 12 August 1921 at Omaha, Nebraska. He is a former Agency employee who EOD in October 1949 as a GS-9 Intelligence Officer. Subject resigned his staff status in February 1951 and became a staff agent with Project ENDOMORPH in Turkey from March 1951 until July 1952. (His wife Anne Claudia GUGAS nee SETARO was granted a covert security clearance in February 1952 for use in a clerical capacity in the Middle East.)In his assignment with Project ENDOMORPH in Turkey, Subject was a source of constant embarrassment in his contacts with Turkish police officials. He was boastful, indiscreet, lacking in sound judgment, knew little or nothing in the fields in which he was self-professedly an expert and was guilty of security breaches in failing to maintain his cover. In one incident he made recommendations of police reorganizations to be made by province governors in Turkey whereas, in Turkey, the Police Department is a national organization and not subject to the dictates of the province governors. This caused much ill will and friction with the Turkish police.Subject professed to be an expert in his knowledge of the polygraph machine and claimed he had two years' experience with the Los Angeles Police Department prior to his employment with the Agency. However, it was developed that instead of this claimed experience, he had actually spent one or two weeks in a detective school connected with the Los Angeles Police Department where he received below average grades.In October 1952 he approached an Agency employee regarding a new type of technical equipment and this conversation led to the disclosure by Subject that he was employed by the Agency in a covert capacity; that he was teaching lie detection techniques to foreign police departments without being authorized or competent to do so. Subject was briefed in December 1952 with stress placed on the importance of living up to his security responsibilities and exercising utmost precaution in protecting the covert interests of the Agency.In spite of the strong warnings given him in this interview, Subject again became involved in an incident of official embarrassment to the Agency.SECRET> [Figure: Stamp with text "CROWN 1 Excluded from automatic downgrading and declassification"]Уутс

# SECRETIn March 1953 he misrepresented himself as a polygraph operator with the "State Department Secret Police". This misrepresentation was made at a time when the Department of State was not authorized to have a polygraph machine and Congressional legislation was pending at the time regarding such authorization. As a result of this misrepresentation, Subject was afforded another security interview in March 1953. He explained that his cover company sold equipment to foreign countries through the Mutual Aid Program and supplied consultant services to the State Department but Subject denied that he ever represented himself as a State Department polygraph operator. After the security interview Subject was also assessed by an Agency psychologist (March 1953) and was found to be egotistical, emotionally unstable, possessed of a need to build himself up in the eyes of others and gave either exaggerated or completely erroneous information as to his past positions. His intelligence quotient was found to be comparatively low in relation to those of other Agency employees. In April 1953 termination of his employment was recommended.Subject resigned 29 April 1953 "to accept a position in California. Washington climate is not agreeable to his family."In April 1964 Mr. J. Kirk BAREFOOT, Director of Becurity, McKesson and Robbins, Skokie, Illinois, informed the Agency he had been a witness to unauthorized disclosures of classified information made by a group in a cocktail lounge in Omaha, Nebraske. The individual making the disclosures / about *ENDOMORPH* activities abroad under Agency sponsorship was identified as Leonard HARRELSON. Subject, who was then Director of Public Safety for the City of Omaha, Nebraska, was one of the group and it was believed that he was responsible for supplying the classified information to HARRELSON about *ENDOMORPH* activities.Leonard HARRELSON is a private investigator specializing in hypnotiom and the use of the polygraph machine. In 1964 he was employed by the Keeler Polygraph Company in Chicago, Illinois. In 1954 HARRELSON was in partnership with Lloyd B. FURR in a private detective agency known as the American Bureau of Investigation, Tower Building, Washington, D. C. Lloyd B. FURR is the polygraph operator who gave a lie detector test to Gordon NOVEL, hostile witness subpoenaed by GARRISON. The test received newspaper publicity as being given at "Mclean, Va." in March 1967. (Summery on FURR attached).HARRELSON is believed to be a person of poor morals. He was given a medical discharge from the Army as a psychoneurotic in 1949 and had been court-martialed twice for impersonating non-commissioned officers of a rank higher than he possessed. In his business partnership with FURR, HARRELSON would misrepresent himself as being with the FBI by covering the word "Americon" when presenting his credentials and just showing "Bureau of Investigation".Incidentally, the informant, J. Kirk BAREFOOT mentioned above, was disapproved for Agency employment in 1951 because of falsification of his FHS, and questionable maturity, judgment, discretion and honesty.SECRET

# 13-00000ANOVEL is Polygraphed by Lloyd FURR on Garrison's Charges.Gordon wane NOVEL, already a fugitive witness in the Garrison inquiry, is reported in the Washington press of 27 Marie 1967 as having been polygraphed the previous day on the case under investigation by Garrison. According to the press reports, NOVEL submitted to a polygraph examination conducted at McLean, Virginia by Lloyd FURR. In statemente to the press, FORR indicated there was no indication of deception to NOVEL's charges that Garrison's case is a fraud.## B. Lloyd FURR's Relationship to Richard L. BAST and REDEX.Lloyd FURR, a former District of Columbia policeman and now a private detective, is a self-proclaimed polygraph "expert" and sound device specialist. He has received publicity in the past for planting sound devices for the late Fulton Lewis, Jr. in the it. Mary's County vice case in 1953 and in 1958 when ha discovered listening devices being used against Bernard Goldfine. In 1964, information was received that a Washington, D. C. iteer REDEX, operated by FURR and Richard L. BAST, was attempting to sell electronic equipment to Communist China via an agent in Hong Kong. (TSD had unclassified contact with FURR in 1962 to see equipment offered for sale by FURR.)## C. Richard L. BAST and REDEX.Richard L. BAST, a Washington, D. C. private detective, gained notoriety in 1965 by turning up a missing witness, previously unlocated by the Department of Justice, in connection with the Lobby Baker case. He is known to operate at least four enterprises: 1) CAPITAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, a private detective agency; 2) REDEX VIETNAM, INC., a firm which imports a variety of commodities ranging from liquor to automobiles into South Vietnam, including, of late, U. S.-recruited Kors for a Saigon nightclub he is planning; 3) REDEX CORP., a firm which sells almost anything to anybody abroad, other than South Vietnam; and 4) CONSOLIDATED ARMAMENTS, a firm which sells small arms to foreign governments and private individuals abroad. BAST also produces and distributes audio and counteraudio devices in the U. S. and
