The New Orleans States-Item of 3 March 1967 stated that New York radio station WINS said that it had learned from reliable’ sources that GARRISON believes that President Kennedy was assassinated by "'a group of plotters directed from Cuba."'

The following additional information has been obtained since the date of reference: > a. The New Orleans Times Picayune of 19 April 1967 states __ that Gordon Duane NOVEL (see Enclosure 19 of reference), then living in Columbus, Ohio, was the subject of extradition charges signed 17 April 1967 by Acting Governor C.C. Aycock. The charges concern _ couspiracy to burglarize the munitions bunker at Houma, Louisiana, in 1961. On 18 April 1967 NOVEL stated in an article copyrighted by the Dallas Daily News that GARRISON is conducting his probe to further his political career. "The whole GARRISON investigation thing is fiction," NOVEL added. "I know the full story from working. as the prosecutor's security chief." GARRISON, however, has. said that NOVEL never worked for him. NOVEL added, "I think GARRI- SON will expose same CIA operations in Louisiana." | b. The New Orleans States-Item of 25 April 1967 states that NOVEL “has told a number of friends and intimates he was a CIA operative and will use this role to battle GARRISON's charges... if he is returned to New Orleans to face accusations that he burglarized an oil service company's munitiong bunker in nearby Terrebonne Parish," Steven PLOTKIN, attorney for NOVEL, refused te confirm — er deny his client's statements. Sergio ARCACHA Smith (see En- closure 2 of reference) is also accused by GARRISON of helping to plan the theft of the munitions. The article adds, "To friends and associates, NOVEL has said that the munitions burglary was no burglary at all -- but a war materials pickup made at the direction of his CIA contact."" He has described the Houma bunker as a CIA cache for munitions destined for use in the April 1961 invasion at the ‘Bay of Pigs, NOVEL has claimed that he worked for CIA in New Orleans before April 1961, "Part of his job, he contends, was to operate the Evergreen Advertising Agency as a front for CIA communications. With funds funneled to him by the CIA, NOVEL yt ara : 2 oh
says he prepared special radio commercials used on 300 stations in the U.S. and Canada. Their cryptographic messages, he claims, were to alert agents to the invasion date. The commercials adver. tised aluminum Christmas trees, he says, and the key alert code names were ‘Star Christmas Trees’ and ‘Holiday Trees'. In late 1960, $72, 000 worth of radio time was placed by the agency. On the . day the munitions were to be picked up, he says, he was called by his CIA contact and told to join a group which was ordered to transport munitions from the bunker to New Orleans. ... He says he made the trip in his own automobile, a Lincoln, and met several people there -- all of them allegedly acting for the CIA,. He identifies | . them as FERRIE, ARCACHA, several Cubans, and another figure in the case. Thay loaded the boxes of ordnance on trucks, he continues, | and returned to New Orleans where the explosives were dropped in three spots -- FERRIE's home, NOVEL's office building, and the office of . . . former FBl agent. . . Guy BANISTER, {see Enclosure . 3 of veference), NOVEL claims the munitions were eventually taken by boat to Cuba for‘a diversionary Bay of Pigs operation, GARRISON, however, says the burglary occurred three months after the Bay of Pigs. He adds that the Houma bunker was leased by the Schlumberger Well Services Co. cf Houston, Texas. "Schlumberger officials say they know nothing of any CIA operations in connection with their / Magazine, where oil field service equipment and certain low-yield explosives are. stored." - ~* c. An AP wire dispatch of 26 April 1967. from New Orleans adds, "In Columbus, NOVEL said today that ‘the statements that. I worked for the CIA are absolutely incorrect. . .. The events of . 1961, the Bay of Pigs invasion, are none of anybody's business, including Mr. GARRISON's, '"' 3. RI has no record of the Evergreen Advertising Agency. There is, however, a record of "Evergreen Enterprise," listed aa “cover for illegal activities", The pertinent document will be obtained and studied.
