MM 105-9027 Socialist. She said he told her he subscribes to "USSR" and "China Today". She said that a member of the Internal Security ‘Sub-Committee who had a foreign sounding name (probably A. L. TARABOCHIA, an. investigator for Senator JAMES 0, EASTLAND of Mississippi) had contacted her concerning MOODY and had informed her that a check had been made of the U. S. Marine Corps and that that service was unaware of MOODY's Socialistic sentiments. oa Mrs. HOGAN advised she had no knowledge of MOODY's involvement with Cuban exiles and regarded this possibility as. extremely remote since he is reportedly a paraplegic. She said it is her understanding that his condition is not a result of military service but rather a result of "bends" developed while skin-diving.

A MM 105-9027 F) The present sympathies of REYNOLDS MOODY are a matter of conjecture based on reports that he writes liberal political views to Miami newspapers and reportedly receives the magazines "USSR" and "China Today". It is anticipated that interview of REYNOLDS MOODY would resolve. whether or not he is identical with the COLONEL MOODY, who has been reported by TP 139-S as being involved in some type of operation against CASTRO in May or June (1964). It is recalled that TP 139-S had advised that at a picnic held on 4-26-64, by members of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, _ Tampa Bay Chapter, ROBERTYBRAUER had mentioned in general conversation that'lne had heard from a COLONEL F/ay MOODY in Miami and MOODY had informed him that there would be some type of operation against CASTRO in May or June. On 7-30-64, the Tampa Office advised that -pecontact with TP 139-S resulted in no additional information which would identify MOODY or the operation other than BRAUER had quoted. MOODY as naming the action "Operation Condor". TP 139-S advised that no one asked BRAUER any questions concerning this matter, and BRAUER did not elaborate. TP 139-S said BRAUER gave the impression that MOODY was a personal friend. Tampa advised that COLONEL MOODY is not known to Tampa indices or other Tampa sources. In addition to resolving REYNOLDS MOODY's knowledge of or involvement in the alleged operation against CASTRO, it is anticipated that information will be elicited concerning - any knowledge or association he might have with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee and ROBERT BRAUER in particular. - With respect to any mention that will be made of BRAUER, care will be exercised to protect the identity of TP 139-S. 4, AW 54464 Docld:32316607 Page 3
