John Garrett UNDERHILL Ir. (1) Prior reference: Memorandum, subject: Ramparts: John Garrett UNDERHILL Jr., Samuel George CUMMINGS, and INTERARMCO, 19 July 1967. (2) Involvement in Garrison's investigation: Ramparts of June 1967 claimed that UNDERHILL, now dead, was ‘on intimate terms with a number of high- ranking CIA officials -- he wae one of the Agency's
14-00000 ‘un-people' whe perform special assignments. " Ramparts of January 1968 adds, “Immediately after the assassination, a distraught Underhill told friends that a sermi-autonomeus GIA clique which had been profiteering in narcotics and gun-running was implicated in the aasagesination." The close Garrison-Turner association and Garrison'a vouching for the accuracy of the Samperts account euggest that Garrison may make similar assertions when hie case comes to trial. (3} DCS relationship: UNDERHILL was an infrequent contact of the DCS New York office from late 1949 to the mid-1950's. He was not employed by that office. The purpose of contact was te obtain positive 5. Group HE {total of 14) a. Valentine ASHWORTH (201 -337656). 41} Prior references: None. {Z) Involvement in Garrison's investigation: On 9 Octeber 1962 ASHWORTH sent a letter from Leesville, Lovisiana, to the Cuban Ambassador in Mexico. He offered information about the “Guban Raider Gommand" and the “People's Revolutionary Movernent" im exchange for help in defecting to Cuba. He said that GIA did not have the same information. Arrested on 16 May 1966 for investigation of auto theft, ASHWORTH teld an FAI special agent that he had participated in several raids on Cuba, that he was a pilot and an expert in explosives, and that CLA waa aware of hia activities and could provide information about them. Arrested - . again on 26 April 1967 for possession of a stolen autornobile, ASHWORTH was sent to the jail in Lake Charles, Loulelana. A fellow inmate, one Richard PHILLIPS, wrote the FBI to say that ASHWORTH claimed to have shared an apartment in Chic with Lee Harvey Qewald, that Oswald and he belonged ta a group of New Orleans Cubans who killed President Kennedy and “were supposed to kill Castro at the same time, that
14-00000 “Oswald was a patsey (sic) and didn't fire a shot; that “Kennedy's assins (sic) were, as was Oewald, trained by the CIA", etc. . On 13 October 1967 a deputy sheriff advised the FBI that an unidentified assistant district attorney on Garrigon's staff had ceme to Lake Gharles one month earlier and had interviewed ASHWORTH for an hour. According te PHILLIPS, Garrison's representatives have questioned ASHWORTH about four times and have asked him if he was a member of GIA. The U.S. Marine Corps advieed on 3 January 1968 that ASHWORTH enlisted on 24 December 1952, was honorably discharged on 18 March 1953, reenlisted the next day, and then served until 3 December 1954, when given a bad conduct discharge following a general court-martial at which he was found quiity of unlawful absence and failure to obey lawful orders. - (3) CIA relationship: None. b. W. Guy BANISTER (1) Prier references: Memorandum No. l, 26 April 1967, Enclosure 3; Memorandum No. 2, 8 May 1967, Enclosure 3. (2) Involvement in Garrison's investigation: Ramparts of January 1968, p. 47, states that a former Minuteman named Jerry Milton BROOKS had said that BANISTER wae the “head of the Antl-Communism League of the Caribbean.’ Ramparts asserts that thie “league" was “assertedly an intermediary between the CLA and Caribbean insurgency movements.“ (3) CIA relationship: None. According to our - vgecords, Maurice Brooke GATLIN Sr. (see below) was legal counsel not, as Ramparts says, te the “Anti- Communism League of the Caribbean" but to the "Anti- Coramunism Gommittee of the Americas". FHI reporting clearly indicates that GATLIN was the sele member of this national group. An FBI report of 14 February 1961 quoted BANISTER as saying that he had never been an officer or member of the "group", GATLIN's claims to the contrary notwithstanding.
es ted oe CAMS Ba ps , ee sO ar ¢. Maurice Brooks GATLIN Sr. (201-53454}. (1) Prior references: None. (2) Involvement in Garrigon's investigation: Ramparts of January 1968 quotes one Jerty Milton. BROOKS (see preceding sub-paragraph) as clairaing . to have been a “sort of protege" of GATLIN. BROOKS elaimed that about 1962 GATLIN, “in a acli-important manner", remarked that he had $100, 000 of CLA money earmarked fer a French rightewing clique that wae going to attempt to assasainats General De Gaulle. GATLIN died in Panama in 1964, at the age of sixty-one. FBI reports on him cite sources who knew him well a@ Gaying that he was insane and should have been committed. He duped Eduarde A. Morales, Consul General of the Dominican Republic in New Orleans, out of relatively large aume in the late 1950's. Morales seeme te have considered him an egent representing the interecte of Trujillo, although GATLIN was not se registered with _the Department of Justice. GATLIN used the elfages Edward FAIRCHILD, Janies COGHRANE, Robert WATSON, . and Charles EVERETT. A typical eplacde occurred in November-December 1957, when GATLIN went to Eugene, Oregon, because he had a theory that Jesus De Galindes (commonly believed to have been kidnapped in New York _ by Trujillo henchmen) was hiding out among Basque sheep-~herders there. On 2 December 1957 GATLIN presented himself to an FBI special agent in Eugene and gaid that “if he was found dead in Bugene it was murder, not suicide". (3) CIA relationship: None. An OO report of 19 December 1953 states that on 13 October 1953 GATLIN ~ <° "called on an OO office, eaid that riots were scheduled to eccur in Guatemala, and added that he thought seme CLA representatives there might be in danger. “He euggested that he be furnished the names.of agenta who were posing &¢ membere of the Gommuniat organization so that he could prevent their being sasaseinated in error." He also suggested that CIA give him $75,060 to fund the assaasination of 15 tep Communist leadera in Latin America.
