At this time DEAN had one arrest by the Detroit Police

'Department

for disturbing a religious meeting and two arrests for using

indecent and obscene language.

He was

also AWOL from Fort

Knox, Kentucky, in 1949.

In December, 1960, DEAN again called this office to

report that he had been residing in Detroit for the past two

months.

At that time he said he was living in Chicago but he

refused to divulge his local address.

He continued to

telephonically contact this office on several occasions until

June, 1961.

He furnished information concerning Cuban nationals

connected with the 26th of July Movement and on local persons

connected with the EPCC.

He was last contacted by two agents

of the Chicago

Office on June 7, 1961,

at which time he was told that this

office did not desire his assistance.

Former CG 6403-S advised in August, 1960, that DEAN

was a white male, age about 25 (in 1960), stocky build, and

black hair.

While DEAN voluntarily furnished information to the

Chicago Office over a period of nearly a year, he was never

considered a PSI or

this office. He advised that

he had been in contact with a

ED SWABECK, 1716 St. Michaels, Chicago, Illinois, telephone

number Wh 4-6445. He stated that he had originally met SWABECK

in Cuba

this past summer. He said that SWABECk invited him to

a meeting in his home on the evening of December 7, 1960 at

7.p.m.

DEAN stated that

that this

this is a meeting of a Fair Play For

Cuba Committee (FFCC) group and that he intended to attend.

He said that from they SWABECK talked it is his belief that

this group is trying to out due other groups re the FPCC and

thus cause a split in the group.

He also said that SWABECK

made mention of a letter that he received from TABER which

stated that EDDIE SHAW of Detroit had been moved into a position

similar to that of a regional director of the FPFCC.
