It has been ascertained locally that Identity B and her husband, a PBPRIME national, own a modest home located 300 yards west and 25 yards south of the Jefetura Politica in San Juan de Tib&s, a suburb of San Jose. ‘The house is currently occupied by the mother of Identity B and by Identity C, 2. Due to the smallness of the neighborhood in which the house is located, it was not deemed operationally secure to attempt to make any neighborhood inguir- ies concerning the family. Identities A, B, and C are all known to the under. signed who met them first in another Central American country in 1954. The name Pedro MARZAL was never mentioned by any of them during any conversation with the writer and the report that Identity B had been married at one time to MARZAL came as a surprise. It is entirely possible, however, that if she had been married before there was no reason why she or her husband should tell writer of that fact. 3e A check of all available indices eanasne those of the Costa Rican government revealed no information on Pedro His name is not listed in the current telephone directory. Discreet inquiry of a cleared station informant concerning MARZAL proved to be negative. He had never heard the name before, ~ 4, It has been ascertained that Identity B applied for a United States tourist visa at the local United States Consulate on 4 April 1957. In her ; application for the visa, Identity B indicated that she had not been divorced but was married-to Identity A. In all of the papers-conceriiing her-wisa-ap= pitcation she gave no indication that she had been married previously. Her application for the visa indicates that she was born on 15 March 1915 in San | Jose, Costa Rica and that she holds a valid Costa Rican Passport. Discreet inquiry of an Embassy employee who is in the confidence of this office provided little information on Identity B. She is known slightly to the employee who advised he had never heard Subject voice any opinion on politics, either dom- estic or international. 5« Identity C, until recently, was employed as a beautician by a local’ - beauty shop named Bordalos, It is known that she requested a week’s leave of . absence from her job in order to take Identity B’s two children to her in an-. other area, Her employer refused to grant the leave and Identity C was forced | to resign her position in order to take the youngsters to their mother and father, , Identity B returned to San Jose only recently from this trip and since that time has been seeking employment without success. ena . waniaeg 91-28 A | | - ee ee 7: _— - 53294 Docld:32399322 Page 3

It has been ascertained that Identity C also applied for a United States visa on 4 April 1957. In her application, she indicated that she wanted to accom- pany her sister and the latter’s children to the United States in order that they might all join the husband of Identity B. It later developed that the trip was not made and the visa application cancelled. Her visa. application shows that she was born .on 2 July 1925 in San Jose, Costa Rica, and that she holds a valid Costa Rican passport. 7, Writer recalls that Identity B once told him (in 1954) that during World War 11 she and Identity C had been employed by one of the Post Exchanges 4n the Panama Canal Zone. Identity B, at that time, said that due to the fact she was so dark she was paid from the Silver Roll (for Panamanians only) but ‘that Identity C was paid from the Gold Roll (for white, Americans) at the same time. Identity Bis quite dark, has thick lips, is short and quite plump. Even with the passing. of ten years, it is difficult to picture her as a dancer during World War I. 8. A check of the files of the local Guardia Civil, Traffic Department, and Detective Bureau failed to reveal any arrest record on either Identity B or Ce a yee E.
