According to Lz- RING/3 Garcia apologbhzed for having been delayed in recontacting LIKING/3 and explained that he had been traveling on business. LI=ZING/3 told Eo«ton that he reported to Garcia that everything was going szoothly in con- nection with the flower business, but that things were held up at the mo- ment pending approval by the Secretariat of Cozserce end Industry of his application for an import license. He added thet once this license was Granted he, LixlhG/;, mignt nave to return to vuatenaia Listy to work Gub final orrangements with Angelo arvanitis. Garcia replied that he himself expected to be in Guatemala in about ten days tine and would like to xnow the date LISIKS/3 might be making the trio. LIAING/3 surzested that they meet again within the coming week so that he could let Garcia know more precisely what his plans were. Carcie promised to revisit LIRING/3 at his home late in the evening before the end of the following week ( probably 26-28 May}. LIRING/3 told Howton that he had briefed LIRITIG/4 concerning Garcia so that in the event that the latter arreared when he was not at home, LIXING/4 could take a messaze and/or entertain his. until he returned. 2. Rowton stressed the need to identify Garcia since he zeit that future serious work involving Garcia could be prperly evaluated and controlle only if Rowton and LIRING/3 knew the persen with whom they were decline. Rowton explainadd that he was in a position to cet a quick look at the photo graphs in Governacién of the Guatenalans on the black list, and might be able to identify Garcia provided he could get a look at him during one of hig meetings with LIRING/3.. The latter agreed with Rowton on this point and promised to arrange a rendevous with Garcia at some public place,such. as a restaurant, at a predeternuined time, so that Rewton could pass by and get a good look at Garcia. LIRING/3 said that he felt certain he could do tais when Garcia returned to his apartzent the following week. 36 LIRING/3 stated that he again nentioned to Garcia the outstending bill. for the medicines and radio tubes (/240.00) and Garcia again reassured hia that he would liquidate this debt in the immediate future. ae Regarding the internal situavicna in PAR, Garcia connented that matters their last meeting.

Ancterding to LIRING/3 Garcia remained cautious in his comments throughout the conversetion, and appeared pene- really phlegnatic in bis reacticns to LIZING/3's a4iscreet attempts to eli- cit inforzating, excest at one point waen LIRIIG/3 mentioned the PAR pro} paganda responsible at the University. According to LISING/3, Garcia scowed in terest in why LIRING/3 hed brought up this person, stating that he hine self di net personally xmow of such a person and commenting that ze felt disseminating propsgenda for 7ik at the University would be a risky and counter-productive activity.

At the same meeting LIZING/3 reported to Roxton that unfortunately his friend Serzic Vaidez had not réeppeared at his home as he had promised, but he expected him any day. LIRING/3 ventured the cuess that Yaldez was soze= : how involved with the Guerrero and Senora disturbances and aight even be eut of town.

Valdez added that both he and Charles knew tuat his (Valéez’) studio was under police surveill:nce and for that reason Valdez bad cautioned LIS™NG/3 not to visit his there. ; _. 6.

Ee eel § EGRET 40K - Kay 107 * Subject: Anelysis of LIPEAT Treffic Relating to LIAING/3 Cperatipn, for the Pericd 7-22 Ha7,1967. . | 1. During the period indicated LIFS.:T traffic was recuced drastically since LIRING/3 was no lerger residing in the safelouse with his wit and child. Several important conversations, howver, took place, prior to afid after LIRING/3's meetiugs with hoston, revea.ing that during the first week . of Hay,1967, LE=ING/3 was consiczring breasing off his relationship with Rowton, or at least cutting off contact on a regular tasis. . 2. In SAN 19 (5.2) on 8 Hay,19€7, LIRING/3 tells his mistress Serta “vise siger that he is doing everything possible to "liberate hims.1f" from "those people". Ee is obviously referring; to Keston since elsexenere be states that “he has dust talked to "seme veonle™ ( He talked to sra. Sissizer at 1345 and had seen Rowton that morning from about 1000 uctil 1200). LIRING/3 continues that he is "no longer interested"in their proslems and hes fulfilled every- thing he hed to do. de adds that he had teld them that he will withdraw. He bas to find ensther cerson to taxe over but he thinks even this tay not be necessary. LIRING/3 then informs sra. Wissiger that he has thoight ebdout ac- cepting a position in Jalapa, ard explains thet re prefers to go to Jalapa for three months to "cut off this watver forever, this is, up to a certain point.* 3. LIRING/3 then placed a long-distance celi to the Escuela de artes Flasticag in Jalapa and spoke with a certain Rogelio Naranjo, apparently a teacher at the school. He indicates that he had seen sr. iiaran3e on or about 4 May ,1957, (probaily in Mexico City} end talked to him about the possibility of a job at the dJalepa school. In the conversation LIEING/3 states that he plans to leave Mexico City at about 1400 on 11 May and arrive in Jalapa at 4800 that same day, so that he could be inzerviewed by the Dean on 12 May. LIRINGS3 apparently planned to return to Hexico City by the evening of 12 May, since his next scheduled meeting with Rowt:n was at 1000 on 13 Hay 51967... &, In view of this unexpected development Rowton paid an unannounced visit . ne to LIRING/3's home at 1430 on 11 Fay, with the suitebdle excuse] that he wished | to give LIRING/3 samples of unassecbled plastic flowers to subait to the Secre- teriat of Comserce and Industry along with his application for! an import li-~ cense. To Rowten's surprise LIRINS/3 answered the door and gave no indication that he was preparing to leave on a trip.

Sor, LISIKG/3 revealed his plan to taze the tacnicg jub in Jalupa, es pars of ion overall he situation and his relationsnip with nowton (zeported | bona | separately <2 2 contact report}. “hen LIAING/3 mentioned this, Without any reassessrect of ¢ elicitetion cm the part of Rowton, he commented, “es I told you before*. Zowten dces sot recell LIZINS/3 ever centioning his intention to ‘accept a teaching pesicvicn in Jelapa, so he must conclude thet LIRING/3 was attezpting to smooth tis matter over as best he could. In his "reassesszent"L1xI83/3 confessed trast he was cseply cisturbed cver the fact that ne hed becoze eal- cost totaliz depenient unom aowtcn financially and thet he or his part had produced alncst nothing concrese except "te make the picture nore confused". Ee stated thet he hac rot, ror would he in the future, ask Rowton what his “ultimate objectives" were in his calationship with LIZING/3, but he felt an acute sense of enilt in accepting mosey for so relatively little results that ke could interpret as useful to towton. Ee concluded that he wanved to work with Howten cre or less as a partner, earning at least some par art of tne ex- psenses invcived. He explained that for, this reasen he nad accepted the idea of the gob a=. dalapa, cesoite the distacpe involved and the relatively 26W 7 Pa od a o Gl & we ‘salary ( net about 2,750 pesos _Per month). LIRING/4 Later that day (43/5/67) confirmed this in a private taik with Rowton, stating that L/3 bed thousht of ‘going to valaca but had finally cecided azainst it, because “he did not want to break of% nis collaboration with Rowton." : | 6. Rowton feels that two factors contrivuted to LISTiG/3's apparently ‘strange behavior. Cae was the fact that Rowtcn had begun to express ccubts as to the veracity of his reporting, particularly concerning the false’ birth~ce-tificate and Enrique Korales. Gn 4 Hay, sxowton had said thet he would, prepare @ series of questiors to present to LIXING/3 on 8-9 May, so that he could clear up alli the doubts in his mind ( this was done in anticipaticn of an SGSsTRL examina- tion which dic not materialize). Perhaps even more important, however, was the fact thas as a result of LIEING/4‘s action, contact/baresen ong and L/4 was resumed suddenjy and surprisingly cordially. L/3 confessed to Rowtos that he was perplexed by the eagerness of Rarire Abreu to resums post daily con- tact: and tha: he was taken so by surprise that it was difficult for hia to understand wast was happening. He explained that he was still not fully re- covered fren the hurt (lastisar) he had suffered at the hands of the Ss during his last trip to davanea, and,if it were not for Rowtcn, he would, not have received Abreu into his home. ( It is possible that LI2-NG, suspects that Abreu's atteztions ere to LISING/4 were more amorcus than dfficial). on
