GEORGE LANE stated that it was his distinct

impression from his contact with MARK LANE that MARK LANE

is an agitator who is interested in stirring up racial

disturbances, particularly in the Arcadia and Imnokalee,

Florida, areas. GEORGE LANE stated he has brought the above

information to the attention of DeSoto County Sheriff

FRANK CLINE, Arcadia, Florida.

GEORGE and VIRGINIA LANE advised that during

their meeting with MARK LANE and CAROLYN MUGAR, they

received the very definite impression that MARK LANE and

MUGAR are romantically involved, although MUGAR appears

much younger than MARK LANE. MUGAR appears to be a "wild,

'hippie'"

type, and during conversation she indicated that

she assists MARK LANE as a photographer.

GEORGE and VIRGINIA LANE advised that besides the

interest which MARK LANE and MUGAR evidenced in the

RICHARDSON case, they also appeared very interested in any

trouble spots in Florida, such as Negro unrest and

mistreatment of Indians.

On October 29, 1969, a confidential source abroad

advised that during the month of October, 1969, an organization

known as the "English Language Committee"

France, with the objective of opposing the continuation of

the war in Vietnam, as well as the following additional

objectives: (5)

1)

Opposition to nuclear armament;

2)

Opposition to American imperialism;

3)

Action in favor of recognizing Communist China;

October 29, 1969

Another Government agency which

conducts investigations abroad advised

that on

November 14, 1969, MAKK LANE was the main speaker at a

teach-in against the war in Vietnam held at the University

of Munich, Munich, Germany. This meeting was attended by

400-600 individuals, and in his speech LANE likened the

atrocities of the Nazis at Dachau, which he had visited, to.

those allegedly committed in Vietnam by American soldiers

and South Vietnamese supported by American soldiers.

LANE

played a tape-recorded interview with an American deserter,

the grandson of General JOSEPH STILWELL. LANE also

discussed alleged resistance within the U.S. Army to the

war in Vietnam, claiming that the "brass"

was going to

extremes to stifle dissent. LANE asked his German audience

to assist those soldiers who want to desert or fight the

Army "brass" from within. Finally, he decläred that he was

returning to the United States within a month, although he

feared possible prosecution for providing assistance to

deserters.

On December 3, 1969, a second confidentil source

abroad furnished the following information concerning

MARK LANE: S)

The Communist-front organization "International

Association of Democratic Lawyers" (IADL) held its 8th Congress

in Budapest during the period March 30-April 3, 1964,

attended inter alia by a delegation from the Danish Section

named JORCEN JACOBSEN, ede erate washe Comeress, haahyer

to the Congress, had

collected

some material concerning the assassination of

President KENNEDY.

This material was to be used for a

draft resolution to the effect that the Congress was to

advocate unbiased incuiries into the circumstances surroun-

ding the assassination and the sequel to it. S

At the Congress, JORGEN JACOBSEN met the American

lawyer MARK LANE, who in his capacity of chairman of the

"Citizens! Committee of Inquiry" was working on an

independent inquiry into the murder, balls

the material prepared by the Dallas

Sonfidence in

Between JORCEN JACOBSEN and MARK LANÉ cooperation

was established on this draft resolution, which, incidentally,

was adopted by the Congress.

This cooperation

was developed

further, and led to the establishment in Denmark of a so-

called "Mark Lane Committee" for the purpose of collecting

all available information on the assassination of the

President and informing the public of any hushed-up or

suppressed details concerning the murder. (S

Following the Congress, however, MARK LANE himself

went to Denmark, where, in the "Lawyers' Debating Club,"

the "Students'

Association" in Copenhagen, and the "Students'

Society" in Arhus, he told about his inquiries so far, aiming

at proving that reactionary, fascist circles were behind the

assassination. of President

KENNEDY. (S)

The Danish "Mark Lane Committee," which may be

considered as

long

since dissolved, comprised a total of 16

individuals; the founder, JORGEN JACOBSEN, is known as a

Communist,

whereas the others mainly belonged

to cultural,

left-wing literary circles.

However, the activities of the

committee, mainly

based on

MARK LANE's inquiries in the

United States, failed to bring forth any sensational

disclosures. The work of the American authorities on the

ase was, on the other hand, criticized and the report ol

ine "arren Commission has denounced as a fraud.

In connectin with the references of the Danish

press to this matter, in November, 1964, the "Berlingske

published an article, the contents of which MARK LANE

considered defamatory. The result was a libel action against

the neusparer, and on forember 11, 1965, the High Court found

the statecents of the raper ill-founded. The responsüble(5)

claim for damages to the amount of no less that 5000 D.kr.

was rejected.

In this case JORGEN JACOBSEN acted as counsel

FOr MARK LANE. (5)

In 1966, MARK LANE, who in the meantime had

married a Dane and

temporarily settled in Denmark, published

a book entitled Rush to Judement, the substance of which is

that the murder of the President was not the work of a single

individual, but a conspiracy. Based on this book, a

documentary film was subsequently produced. Moreover, in

the course of the years since the assassination, MARK

LANE

a great number of lectures about his inquiries and his

opinion of the events in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

(5)

MARK LANE, who is

currently residing in the

United States, does not

appear to have attracted notice in

connection with the activities displayed in Denmark

assist American deserters, and so far, no connection was

noted between him and Danish deserters' committees. In

July, 1968, however, an IAD meeting took place in Grenoble,

France; an item on the agenda of this meeting concerned the

legal basis of refusing to take part in wars of aggression.

The identities of the participants of this meeting are not

known, but the fact that the IADl dealt with the subject and

that the two former IADL delegates are personally acquainted

and associated with this Communist front organization seems

to indicate that, some time or other, the idea arose between

them to bring American deserters to Denmark in order to

onfront the authorities of a NATO country with a con

equest for political asylum for American deserters. (fer
