SUMMARY
1. During the reporting period the LIANCHOR leftist
writer press service produced 35 individual articles and
serialized political feature articles which were distributed
to 20 newspapers throughout Latin America and are known to
have been published regularly by at least 12 newspapers.
Despite this acceptable production rate, the project has not
achieved the objectives set for it by the Mexico Station and
in the Project Outline.
2. Prior to submission of a project renewal request in
late June, 1968, the Mexico Station will attempt to convert
the LIANCHOR operation into a more effective and politically
more leftist operation. Four of six LIANCHOR press service
writers will be dropped and P/A (LINLUCK) will be replaced,
hopefully by Identity-1, a respected o independent leftist
Mexican editorialist for the prestige center-left daily
"EXCELSIOR". If by the end of June, 1968, the operational

Formal Organization of LIANCHOR Press Service:
a. The Reference "A" project proposal reports all
significant incidents in the development of the
LIANCHOR press service by LINLUCK) and the Mexico
Station through the first week of December, 1967; when
0 LINLUCK) set about bringing together the candidates for
membership in the cooperative press service. As Head-
quarters will recall the project involved paying a
salary of U.S. $700 per month to LINLUCK in return for
which he was to persuade a number of leftist and center-
left writers to join together as contributors to the
LIANCHOR (Identity-2) press service. The contributing
writers or members of the press service were to agree
to waive fees for a trial period during which the press
service was to develop paying clients among Latin
American newspapers and periodicals.
b. (LINLUCK) held three meetings of candidate members
of the press service during December in the home of
Identity-3. The meetings were unruly but everyone at
the meetings agree to contribute material to the press
service and submito editing and control of the material
by (LINLUCK) Of Hower, what with the 20 day Christmas
festivities which paralyze all Mexicans from 15 December
to 5 January of each year, none of the LIANCHOR members,

of 1966. He spent much of his termination bonus on
sending his family back to France (the wife is French)

in South America accepted the book but would not send
0 LINLUCK) his share of the sales, which was to be used
to repay WOFIRM the cost of publishing the book.
the late fall of 1967 (LINLUCK) spent six weeks in
Guatemala where he reached agreements with the Guate-
malan Defense Minister, Rafael ARRIAGA Bosque, whereby
the Defense Ministry was to pay (LINLUCK U.S. $4,000
for the right to publish 10,000 copies of his first
book. The U.S. $4,000 was to be paid by, LINLUCK) to
WOFIRM as partial reimbursement of the costs of pub-
lishing the JMROD book. During the visit to Guatemala,
O LINLUCK) was told by ARRIAGA and other Guatemalan
government officials that he could expect a consular
appointment by the summer of 1963.
b.
Headquarters and the Mexico Station were agreed
that as soon as he could organize LIANCHOR and find a
suitable replacement (LINLUCK) should be terminated and
leave Mexico. Following the receipt of the LIANCHOR
project approval in early 1968, the LIANCHOR case officer
told (LINLUCK) that he was expected to find a replacement
meeting WOFIRM approval and be ready to turn the opera-
tion over to his replacement by the end of March, 1968.
LINLUCK) proposed Identity-4, who had shown the most
interest in the LIANCHOR press service and had been the
first to submit articles. By accident the case officer
was forced to listen to an hour's conversation between
Identity-4 and LINLUCK after Identity-4 came to (LINLUCK'
home, interrupted a meeting between the case officer and
of (LINLUCK) and the case officer sat trapped in a separate
room unbeknownst to Identity-4. From the conversation
the case officer observed that Identity-4 was actually a
political rightist, believed ②LINLUCK to be an LNHARP
agent, had grandiose plans for using LNHARP funds to
mushroom LIANCHOR into a continent-wide anti-Communist
movement and was married to a neurotic woman who had
hired a private detective agency to check on her husband's
activities (LINLUCK) was instructed to quietly ease
Identity-4 out of LIANCHOR, to cease holding group meet-
ings of LIANCHOR writers and to try to prevent further
contact between Identity-4 and other members of LIANCHOR.

c. Identity-5 was selected as the next candidate to
Identity-5 was technically,
linguistically, intellectually and professionally well
qualified to head LIANCHOR. During the period of develop-
ment and assessment of Identity-4 by LINLUCK), ol Identity-5
wrote an excellent article on Soviet intellectual piracy.
However, Identity-5 proved difficult to contact and
control and turned out to be leading a personal life
which would have detracted seriously from his ability
to administer LIANCHOR ( (LINLUCK) was told to keep in
touch with Identity-5, but to look for still another
candidate.
ol
d. In early April ARRIAGA Bosque was exiled to Miami.
With the Station's concurrence (LINLUCK) went to Guatemala
during Easter to confer with Guatemalan President, Julio
MENDEZ Montenegro, and the new Defense Minister concern-
ing his own future. The President said he had not
forgotten (LINLUCK) but would not be able to give him a
consular post until the outset of 1969. The President
also said he would not be opposed to LINLUCK's) returning.

Upon (LINLUCK's return to Mexico he asked whether
there was any possibility that he could be kept on after
30 June 1968 for an indeterminate period as LIANCHOR P/A
until some outside job showed up. The case officer said
he would discuss the matter with Headquarters, but felt
that in the interests of LINLUCK's family and his own
career it was high time that LINLUCK strike out on his own.
Replacements were again reviewed and it was decided that
the best candidate would be Identity-1, who had turned
down membership in LIANCHOR because he wanted immediate
fees for anything he wrote. Identity-6 of the LIANCHOR
group, a friend of Identity-1, was queried as to Identity-l's
personal life and, as far as can be discovered, Identity-1
lives a quiet life with his wife and family and is highly
respected in Mexican intellectual circles both as an author/
editorialist and as an independent leftist. Reference "B"
and "PLANS" below report the Station's plans for possible
recruitment and subsequent utilization of Identity-1 as
P/A of LIANCHOR.

Production of Articles and Features by LIANCHOR:
Separate cover attachment "B" contains a translation of a (LINLUCK)
report written 1. May 1968 on articles and feature articles pro-
duced and distributed during the period 15 December 1968 to
30 April 1968. Case officer comments are included along with
information about articles prepared and distributed in May.

7. LINLUCK) Involvement in Covert Action Operations Targetted
Against Soviet Poet Yevgenyi YEVTUSHENKO (March-April 1968):
In March (LINLUCK) drafted an open letter to Soviet
a.
poet Yevgenyi YEVTUSHENKO asking the Russian to use his
influence to persuade the Soviet government to end the
persecution of Soviet intellectuals, artists, writers and
poets. LINLUCK managed to obtain the signatures of stu-
dents, professors, actors, dancers, writers and intellec-
tuals for his open letter and then persuaded the publisher
of his books to print thousands of copies, which were
A
distributed by other assets of the Mexico Station.
copy of the open letter was published in "EXCELSIOR" on
the day of YEVTUSHENKO's arrival in Mexico for what was
originally billed as a personal trip. Because of the
open letter and critical press coverage of YEVTUSHENKO's
rude behavior towards the press on arriving at Mexico
City airport, the Russian Embassy called a special press
conference the evening of the day of the poet's arrival.
At the press conference YEVTUSHENKO spoke with outrage
of the open letter, carefully dodging a number of questions
asked by the letter, and chided the signers of the letter
for claiming there was absolute literary freedom in Mexico,
asking how there can be freedom anywhere in the world as
long as there is no freedom in Vietnam. YEVTUSHENKO's
remarks about the open letter left no doubt that he had
come to Mexico as a Soviet propagandist and not as a rebel
poet
이
b. (LINLUCK) also produced a handbill quoting the
telegram by Soviet intellectuals to the "Consultative
Conference of Communist Parties" at Budapest, asking for
an end to Soviet persecution of intellectuals in the USSR.
The handbill featured two pen and ink drawings of imprisoned
Soviet poets Sinyavsky and Daniel. He also arranged for
the printing in Spanish of an authoritative study of inci-
dents surrounding the Galanskov-Dobrovolsky trial in
brochure form. Thousands of copies of the handbill and

immediately following YEVTUSHENKO's departure, a con-
densation of the MICHELENA critiques of YEVTUSHENKO were
published in the leftist political illustrated magazine
"IMPACTO" by LILISP-E.
d. Identities 3 and 6 of the LIANCHOR group also
published articles against YEVTUSHENKO in the rightist
daily "EL SOL", but the Station felt the articles were
too vitriolic and unobjective to be a credit to LIANCHOR.
In fact, because of these articles the Station plans to
remove both Identities 3 and 7 from LIANCHOR; for it is
obvious that both persons have long since lost all traces
of their former leftism and are extreme rightists.

8. Views on LIANCHOR Effectiveness by Owner/Director of
Guatemala Dally "EL IMPARCIAL":
.
+
a. During (LINLUCK's Easter visit to Guatemala City
he was told by the owner of "EL IMPARCIAL" that the
newspaper was only interested in publishing (LINLUCK
articles. The newspaper owner stated that (LINLUCK) was
a well-known personality in Guatemala and also wrote |
interestingly. The owner also said that he had pub-
lished one series by Identity-4 because Identity-4 was
However,
a Guatemalan who at one time had been important.
the owner pointed out that the other LIANCHOR writers
were unknowns and did not write well. He singled out
Identity-3 as being a "menace to journalism" because much
of what she wrote amounted to libel or slander.
b. The "EL IMPARCIAL" owner said that he received
the newspapers "EL DIA" of Honduras, "LA PRENSA GRAFICA"
of El Salvador, "LA PRENSA" of Nicaragua, "LA REPUBLICA"
of Costa Rica, "LA ESTRELLA" of Panama and "ULTIMAS
NOTICIAS" of Caracas and had noted that these newspapers.
all published ①INLUCK's) articles but had not, to his
knowledge, published articles by any of the other LIANCHOR
writers.
C.

When (LINLUCK) explained the cooperative nature of
"LIANCHOR, the "EL IMPARCIAL" man told (LINLUCK) that he
could never hope to collect fees for his news service
until the service became both famous and sought after.
The "EL IMPARCIAL" owner advised (LINLUCK) to find writers
better known in Latin America. He suggested that if
0 LINLUCK could not afford to pay his writers fees, he
should persuade first class writers to contribute to
LIANCHOR purely for the prestige of having their material
published around Latin America.

press group. Of nine persons who belonged to the group
as of 15 January, three subsequently dropped out because
of differences of opinion which developed at group meet-
ings. In addition LINLUCK) learned that persons he had
selected partly because of their leftist records (Iden-
tities 3, 4, 7 and 8) had long since ceased being leftists
and were prone to submit manuscripts with texts politically
harmful to the image of LIANCHOR. Confused political
thinking and poor writing resulted in rejection of over
20 manuscripts during February-April by LINLUCK) and the
case officer. Rejection of manuscripts in turn angered
and insulted some of the writers.
b. The personalities and character of some of the
writers have presented problems to (LINLUCK in directing
and developing the LIANCHOR group into a productive unit.
Identities 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 had to be goaded continually
by LINLUCK to turn in manuscripts on assigned themes.
Both Identity-3 and Identity-7 turned out to be emotional
extremists, suffering at times from deep melancholy and
at other times from inexplainable rages which were re-
flected in their writings. As of this writing the Station
feels that the only reliable members of the group are
Identities 6 and 9, who should be kept as members of the
group as long as LIANCHOR is run as a group cooperative
press service. The unreliable but brilliant and versatile
poet/writer/lexicographer Identity-5 should be continued
as a contact of LIANCHOR for occasional emergency use
provided (LINLUCK's replacement can obtain any cooperation
from Identity-5.01 In summary the LIANCHOR group composed
of Identities 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 has proved ineffective and
not too productive and the ineffective members should be
replaced.

The list of articles and features by
under Separate Cover Attachment "B" is by no means the
measure of the agent's writing and production capability.
After the agent dusted off and mailed out several of his
old article series in December 1968 the case officer
instructed LINLUCK) to reduce his production in ratio to
the manuscripts of other LIANCHOR writers which were
mailed out. The case officer was concerned that LIANCHOR
would appear to potential client newspapers to be primarily
a vehicle for LINLUCK's lengthy political essays in con-
trast to the statement in the LIANCHOR prospectus that
LIANCHOR was a press service combining articles on cultural,
educational, economic and social as well as political topics
by many writers. During the agent's two final months of
service he has been given authorization to write as much
as he can on the Vietnam issue and other topics for the
purpose of building up his name in Guatemala before he
returns there to enter politics.

because LIANCHOR cannot properly be run from Guatemala,
6 LINLUCK will describe to Identity-1 the problems which
he has had in developing LIANCHOR and, in asking Identity-1
to take over control of LIANCHOR, will suggest that
Identity-1 use the LIANCHOR name and established publica-
tion outlets to broaden his prestige in Latin America
without any thought of trying to warn fees. (LINLUCK) will
also suggest that Identity-1 retain Identities 6 and 9 to
help fill out the service, but that he gradually try to
draw in personal writer friends of definite leftist fame
and persuade them to contribute to LIANCHOR purely for
the reward of increased prestige. Finally) (LINLUCK) will
offer to continue to contribute material from time to
time from Guatemala which Identity-1, through his good
standing in the Mexican press, perhaps can publish in
Mexico.
b. If Identity-1 rejects recruitment, the next candi-
date for LIANCHOR chief is Identity-10, who has already
told LINI.UCK) that he is prepared to take over LIANCHOR
on a pro 01.ionary basis to see whether it will enhance his
reputatio.. The Station feels that Identity-10 would be
easier to recruit than Identity-1. However, Identity-10
is not too well known in Mexico and is totally unknown
abroad. One of Identity-10's virtues is the fact that he
never formally quit the Communist Party and has done nothing
to irritate the Party. As economic and general reporter for
"EXCELSIOR" he offers placement potential. If Identity-1
does accept recruitment, the Station still intends to try
to recruit Identity-10 as a singleton under Project LIANCHOR,
possibly steering Identity-10 to Identity-1 and the LIANCHOR
press service after due consideration. The Station is also
interested in the possibility of recruiting Identity-10 in
order to send him to the World Youth Festival at Sofia,
since it is believed by:RK (LINLUCK) that Identity-l still has
access to some worthwhile contacts in Central American
young Communist circles.
16.
Testing for Indications of Effectiveness to Determine
Future Direction of LIANCHOR Project:
a.
It is estimated that it will not cost over U.S.
$200 to hire clipping services in Buenos Aires, Montevideo,
Santiago and Bogota for a three month trial period to test
whether newspapers which receive LIANCHOR material in those
cities are publishing the LIANCHOR material. The clipping
services will be asked to watch for articles with the
LIANCHOR by-line, the by-lines of LIANCHOR writers and the
headlines or titles which are assigned by LIANCHOR to the
articles mailed to the newspapers.
b. If the clipping service tests show that newspapers
or periodicals in two of the above cited countries are
publishing LIANCHOR material, Station will continue to
pursue the development of a small and responsive leftist
writer group as one phase of the LIANCHOR operation. The
rationale behind this decision is that there is little
justification in operating a press service, even a cheap
one, with a readership limited to Mexico, Central America,
Venezuela and Bolivia. However, if the press service can
acquire, or has acquired, readership in any two of the
countries in 16-a above then it is felt that the total
area coverage is significant and worth maintaining.
17.
Conversion of LIANCHOR to Temporary Roof Project for

service tests the decision is reached not to continue develop-
ment of a leftist writer group press service, LIANCHOR will be
converted to a roof project for the administration and funding
of singleton writer agents. Identity-1, if recruited, will be
told to use the LỊANCHOR stationery and list of publishing
newspapers to develop his own prestige and readership abroad,
but he will not be ask to find additional writers for the
press service. At the end of FY 1969 the LIANCHOR project will
be terminated as such and its funds and such agents as have
been developed under LIANCHOR will be documented under Project
LILISP-E for FY 1970.
