It 1s reuested that the restrictions imposed uros project

It is felt that the forter cut-out lucKlacle, who handled

H'ANOID unt11 1 June 1949, was sosevhat inept in his operational

dealinis, valch possibly nay account for viat seera to be a lack of

productivity in tbe BUNAHOD 4 project. HUHANCID-4 bEs an intinate

relationahip vith active CP DanDers 11 Costa Rica, both on a 101 and

HUNANOII-2 has deconstratod the juailtiea of villineness, discretion,.

(a) As to the principal sent of Project HUMANOID, the

umintaicably the value of this project, end its contribution

to tha successoul activities of tho San Jose Station.

His handling of these agents is carried out in

a professional and efficiont ennner, and his personal consente

and corrections on thali reporte, based on hie long acqualatance

with local parimalitica and conditions, are of considerable

valua. Els attitude renaina enthusiastic and villine.

by the duenta being handled by HUANOID 1s of great value

to the station. In addition to his on production, this

CONNaiLS - Deapite the fact that AUWANOID has bech vorking under

station continues to be of major importance. In additlan to the tangible

and sensureBble infarsation produced by and through bis, EUlAFOID bas

Chies ol Station. These "briefing seetings" represent an incanzible

recommended

that subject te considcred for career agent stutus.

though TRSA-1056 furnished certain of the data requested by head-

quarter forth with a view so facilitating a final evaluation of the

the following additional informatinn, queries and comments

project.

pursuant to the approval contained in TRSW-655,

dated June 29,

1951, HUMABOID has been and is currently acting as

cutout for HUMANIST-2

as vell as for HUMANKIND-d and HUMANKIND-3•

It is therefore not clear whether paragraph 2.b. of TRSA-685 is to be

interpreted

as a new restriction on his activities which is to be placed

Into effect

at this time.

In other words, is headquarters' approval

of the suggestions contained in TRSA-950 now withdrawn?

As discussed In TRSA-950, assistance was extended

HUMANOID in setting up a photography and photocopy shop on the fringe

of the downton area.

Funds formerly used for rental of a safehouse

were applied instead

as rental for his photo shop, with the purpose

of providing a sare meeting place between HUMANOID and HUZLAWIST-2 and

so provide a nore accessible spot for the processing of HUMANKIND

material.

Farly in July 1951, after two or three weeks experience

with photostating HU!ANKI'D material at the studio demonstrated the

unsuitability of the arrangement, HUMANOID resuned his plotostatic

work in his own hore.

Tre studio has continued to serve as a meeting

place for HUMAMIST-2. fre following considerations entered Into the

decision to discontinue processing HUMANKIND-l and 3 material at the

photo studio: 1): The conspicuous nature of the equipment in a suall

shop; 2) the security risks caused by the presence in the studio of

HUMANOID's local employee; and 3) the lack of any secure storage

space for comprosising naterial

SUBJECT:

HUMAVOID; Career Status

1.

I do not feel that this man's position in the political

and

social life in Costa Rica lends itself to our need for a

career agent in that area. His financial position negates. his

accessibility to high-level information; and our requirements

for Costa Rica should not be satisfied through outright subsidí-

zation of an agent in order to place him in a position of influ

ence.

His wife's knowledge of his work for us is lamentable and

her Costa Rican background with substantial local political ties

should be sufficient reason to belay any further consideration on

our part for increasing his knowledge of our operations. Admit-

tedly, he has performed a satisfactory service for the San jose

station, but his efforts are not so vital that his termination, in

the event he decides to sever connections with us because of his

failure to achieve more pramanent status, would be a permanent blo

to our effectiveness there. • With respect to his knowledge of

future possibilities with us, we cannot be held responsible for

unauthorized commitments that may have been made by the previous

Chief of Station.

confined his activities mostly to cutout and

however, It is believed that rich additional freedom he

could

sucerssfully enrape in spottin?, recruitment, reneral inves

tigation, and independent recorting.

Subject has discussed his desire to send

his wife and tro

for a bi day visit:

He wouln then like to travel to che

United States hinself in late Decenher for a sricf visit

alch his parents in Illinois.

This would be his first visit

tunity and cover for heacquarters contact, either in liiinois

or iast:1n,t03,

at wich time forralities and necessary

training could be accorplished. (MOTE:"

developed; but experience has shown thit procuction irce

In connection vith Parapraph e. above, it is to be

noted that the travel plans of subject's wife hive been complicated

by advice fron the E-bassy Consular Section that the Immigration

authorities at the sort of entry into the United States may cenand a

$500.00 U.S. bond in substantiation of her intent to return to Costa

$500.00 in orier to enable hin to present the

bond if it is denanded and to obriate the possibility of nis spending

several hundred sollars in travel money for his wife to a port of

entry und return to costa rica if entry vere denied. This coney

would not be used by subject for any other purpose and would be re-

turned to station funds after successful entry of his wife into the.

United Stetes.

Berlous security considerations.

2. It 1s therefore requested that headquarters

consider furnishing a snall wall safe with & combination lock for

installation in the above-mentioned dark ross.

It would be possible

to sink the safe into the concrete wall, and even if complete con-

cealment were not possible, the safety of the material would be

greatly ent.anced.

Suitable safes are not available locally, but

It isknown that Remington Rand markets a

small strong box with a

combination lock (price about $20.00) which would be ideal.

3. I would appreciate receiving your opinion in this

matter Inasnuch as other measures must be taken in the event a safe

cannot be nade available.

Inasmuch as Humanoid Is aware of the proposed salary

ralise recommended by the forner Chief of Station in the Quarterly

Report dated Aupust 17, 1951, Inforration as to the status of this

recommendation is requested.

Ref:

Memorandum given writer by Zachary I. Cady in Panara

1. Humanoid advised that his mother-in-law,

Sra.

Jora _calderon_ de CORDERO, -has no-relationshin with the family of

corner President Rafael Angel CALDERON Guardia.

Humanoid advised

that his mother-in-law was friendly with the CALDERON family years

ago, but has

had no contact with any of the fanily or the Calderonista

Party since the revolution. This woman immigrated to Costa Rica

as Dora INIKEN from Europe, and as it is custonary for immigrants

and illegitimate chilaren to take upon themselves the name of the

President,

Dora INITEN changed her name to CALDERON.

Humanoid stated

that she

has no political connections whatsoever ana is sympathetic

to whatever administration is in power at the time.

The infornation

in the referenced menorandum was originally written by Hunanoid

three years ago and has no application to the present.

2. Regarding Humanoid's associates, Sr. and Sra..

Miguel CORRALES, Humanoid stated that he has not

seen CORRALES for

over a year since CORRALES is in Guanacaste Province. It is true

that CORRALES was a Figuerista during the revolution, but he is no

longer sympathetic with FIGURES.

3. Humanoid's intelligence activities are known to

his wife, who has been of assistance to him in said activities on

various occasions.

However, Humanoid stated that his mother-in-law.

has no knowledge of these activities.

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. THARP:

-SUBJECT: a. -HUMANOID

b. Technical Surveillance in Costa Rica

HUMANOID is an American agent used as a cut-out in several

San Jose operations. He was employed in the technical surveillance on

the home of Juan Bosch, as one of the two monitors. He also handles

the photography incident to the HUMANKIND project, which work be

performs in his own quarters. (This may now be performed away from

his home, but until very recently it was done at home.)

HUMANOID's PHS shows the following points which Dave Wright

may be able to clarify:

(see IZP-A-365, Part I)

1. His wife is related, through her mother, to the family of

CALDERON. This might be a connection with the "Calederonistas" who

are alleged to be the group of Costa Ricans responsible for mysterious

bombings early this year.

2. Subject's mother-in-law, who resides with him, is described

as follows:

"strongly inclined to Sr. Calderon GUARDIA and Leo CORTES

during their respective regimes in Costa Rica, and she is now (Oct 1948)

enthusiastic about the Junta Government of Jose FIGUERES. However,

she takes no active part in politics. "

3. Other friends and associates of his wife are: Sr. and Sra.

Miguel Corrales (San Juan Tibas Costa Rica). Miguel Corrales was a

radio operator and intelligence operative for Jose FIGUERES during the

Costa Rican Civil War in the spring of 1948.

Jose FIGURES and Juan BOSCH were the target personalities

of the technical surveillance. FIGUERES made the statement that "one of

his boys told him all about the surveillance. "

From the above circumstances, it appears possible that HUMANOID's

intelligence activities are probably known to either his wife, his mother-in-

law, or his friend, CORRALES, and that one of the three could have been

the source through which the surveillance was blown. Would you discuss

this informally with Dave Wright, please?

Humanist claims he made no mention

2.. Humanist's claims also tally with the account of

his confession as given writer by Manuel VE!TURA, Presidential aide.

Humanoid has been on the alert and has noted nothing of a suspicious

nature which would indicate his activities being under observation

or investigation.

This matter of suspending his operations, as

suggested by headquarters, was discussed by writer with Ellio R.

Langtry during his recent

visit in San Jose

and the following

suggestions are made for headquarters' consideration:

Humanold at the present tlue

chief agent for Humanist-2, Humankind-1, and Humankind-3.

There

is no other agent at the present time to whom these contacts can

be given. It is believed that if these subagents are allowed a

vacation, they will become practically worthless when

picked up again and have to work for the money they have been

receiving, aside from losing interin information and developments.

In an effort to establish a nore secure, as well as a

comercial, cover for Humanoid, this office has acceded to

Humanoid's

desire to set up a photography and photocopy shop in

the downtown area, and has encouraged him in it by allowing funds

supplies Humanoid with a nore accessible spot and efficient means

to photostat mail intercepts and return them to the post office

in tine instead of com uting back and forth from his home in

the suburbs of San José.

Therefore, it is sugrested that Humanoid's semi-weekly

contacts with Huranist-2, instead of being cancelled,

be changed

to a weekly. letterdrop, and a live contact once a month to take

care of salary payrents and briefing:

This letterdrop can be

effected by Humanist-2 passing by the photo shop at night and

dropping his messages through the slot in the door usually used

for after-hours

delivery of films to be developed.

drop will be into a padlocked box, accessible only to Humanoid.

Reparding Humanoid's contacts with Humankind-1 and

Humankind-3, these are conducted in a thoroughly safe manner.

It is checked daily

and returned by him the same cay. 11

anyone is noticed hanging

around

and returns later when the way is clear.

Another factor has arisen since the last dispatch which

has made this post office operation more secure in that the

Director of the

Post Office is now beholden to Humanoid.

recent legal

squabble noted in the press which was raised by a

local Comunist conplaining about the government confiscating

his mail from abroad, the government desired to prove that this

mail was Connunist propaganda which they had a right to confiscate,

and the President therefore requested the Director of the Post

Office to furnisa samples to prove this point..

With this "heat"

on him,. the Director made a frantic appeal to Humanoid, who was.

able to procure these samples for him, which satisfied the

President, and for which the Director was truly grateful.

Therefore, no trouble is expected from this intercept operation

as long as the present personnel are being used,

and ample warning

mill be given Humanoid in advance of any change in the present

attitude.

Since it is believed that there is more to be lost

than gained by dropping contact with these agents,
