OO mye n - > ee hoy f “ ; Ae MM 2-387 MM 977~S, the Dominican Consul General in Miami, said no visas had been issued, would not be issued, and no Cuban exiles were needed or wanted in the DR. GERALD PATRICK HEMMING has been investigated by the Miami Office for over five years, is of known unreliability and has never been able to send an expedition out of the U. S. MM 639-S, a close associate of HEMMING, on June 21, 1965, said that HEMMING is no longer interested in the DR and is now working on a plan to bring South Vietnamese into the U. S. to serve as training troops in a Florida National Guard training program. Informant said that the entire story of sending troops to the DR is a figment of HEMMING's imagination. It is not based on fact but just another one of HEMMING's many impractical and illogical dreams. ; On June 23, 1965, JULIO ATON CONSTANZO PALAU‘ was interviewed concerning Miami files 105-2528, "LUIS — GOMEZ VARGAS, IS — CUBA" and. also "DENIO CANTON, IS - CUBA". In these two cases ATON was the orginal complainant concerning these two subjects who reportedly are CASTRO agents. On interview on June 23, 1965, ATON furnished information concerning two more Cuban exiles in Miami suspected of being Cuban government agents. During this interview, ATON said of the two unidentified suspected CASTRO agents is known . as king Kong", true name unknown, but that this person signe “up to fight communism in the DR and filled out an application form with complete background information. This application form was located at ATON's house. ATON said / he would locate this form and make the information available to interviewing Agents. ATON explained that he had more than 100 such forms containing the identities of persons he recruited to fight in the DR but so far he had been given no money, no uniforms, no arms and there were no plans to leave the U. S.

In view of comments to SAC, Miami, in referenced Bureau letter, no attempt was made to interview \ATON about his plans for the DR or ALEJOS' activities. No questions were asked concerning these matters and no arrangements were made to interview ATON later about them. For the information of the Bureau, ATON is a countryman, farmer-type from Cuba with little education. He works in Miami as a day laborer, is obscene, loud, but apparently courageous. He does not know about Federal laws dealing with expeditions and arms and considers himself as a natural ally of the FBI in the fight against communism. For this reason, he proudly talked about his anti-communist plans and wants to be of any service to the Bureau in investigations of CASTRO agents in this country. Miami Office feels this matter has received undue importance and alarm because of CIA reporting and classifying such material "Secret". The Miami Office, from previous experiences with HEMMING, and a quick check with established sources, feels this entire matter was the result of one of HEMMING's day-—dreams. MM 639-S, who has been in daily contact with HEMMING., since June 18, 1965, advises that the whole idea about sending volunteers to the DR has been abandoned by HEMMING who is now working on a plan to bring in South Vietnamese. The Miami Office feels that further adequate coverage will be afforded by MM 639-S and there will be no necessity for interview of participants. A letterhead memorandum suitable for dissemination 4 will be submitted and contact maintained with MM 639-S. \I og. . \ SURAORES i | Docld:322952711 Page 3
