Doold} 32362279 18 June 1976- MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Security Analysis Group SUBJECT . STURGIS, Frank Anthony AKA: FIORINI, Frank SFH353 459 1. As you are aware, Frank Anthony STURGIS, one of the convicted Watergate burglars, has repeatedly and falsely claimed affiliation with this Agency. Attached to instant memorandum are copies of two articles from the New York Daily News by Paul MESKIC, dated circa April 1975 and 13 June 1976, specifying. that one Marie LORENZ was involved with Frank STURGIS and Alex - RORKE in 1959/1960 in anti-CASTRO activities. Furthermore, the articles again allege that STURGIS and RORKE were acting om behalf of this Agency. The 13 June 1976 article further alleges Marie LORENZ has claimed that at the direction of STURGIS and RORKE (and the Agency and the FBI) in 1960 she went to Cuba to poison CASTRO. The poison was given to her by STURGIS. In the first article Marie LORENZ alleges that E. Howard HUNT, known to her as "Eduardo" was the paymaster for STURGIS and RORKE. ~ HUNT has publicly claimed not knowing STURGIS until at least the late 1960's. 2. Alex RORKE, +> identical with Alexander I. RORKE, Jr. (SF#427 955), was a free-lance writer, photographer, and soldier of fortune who disappeared in September 1963 while flying in Central America. There is no evidence in this file that RORKE was ever, affiliated with this Agency. There is evidence that RORKE was involved with STURGIS in anti-CASTRO activities in the early 1960's. 3. Relative to Marie LORENZ, initial Office of Security traces in this name were negative in April 1975. Additional research relative to the June 1976 article has revealed a positive identification. Composite information from the attach- ments would suggest that Marie LORENZ is of German father/ American mother birth, born circa 1940; that her father was Heinrich LORENZ, a former German Navy Captain who in February 1959 was the captain of a luxury liner "Berlin'; and that in 1959/1960 she was Living with her brother at 344 West 84th E2 IMPDET CL BY 063994 Page 2
