APPROVED BY A

Mexico City active

Wex 18 and Nex laare part of a calor 4 Individual in

in communist circles

'in affairs of FPCC.

one of these individuals is Charles Small who

in Decenber and

January, told the informants that he was worried about possible

narassment by Mexicon police as he considered it possible Oswald

nay have visited his jewelry store when in Mexico..

• No info has

been developed to establish that such was the case and Small has

not indicated to sources that he, in fact,

knew or met Oswald.

Small claimed to sources that he was out of Mexico during Oswald's

trip to Mexico City; however,

the sources report that Small returned

to Mexico,

exact date not states, Ericr io the

reportedly left Mexico a are of commission seese interest

in identifying all places visited by Oswalo in Mexico City,

we

regard it as likely they will ask that Small be interviewed.

Legat's 4-9 airtel recommended against this as interviewing

him

about oswald and a possible visit to Small's store would point to

the informants as sources Furthermore, Small has heart condition

Believed advisable to aleft Legat to possibility of request for

interview of Small and to have him thinking as to bést means to

show Small was in Us during J-day period Uswald was in Mexico

may forestall request for interviev of Small. *Informants believe

that Small's fear of Mexican police harassment was part of the

generas concern de members of the American communist

Mexico after reading that Oswald had been in Mexico.
