CON-YENTIAL

Possible Cuban Connections

With LEE HARVEY OSWALD

On November 30, 1963, CG 6491-C advised SA ROBERT J.

TOMPKINS, Ir., that during December of 1960, he was engaged in

investigating

the activities of BEN JAFFE (who is presently the

subject of an Anti-Racketeering case under the Criminal Intel

ligence Program in Chicago; however, he resides in Las Vegas,

Nevada, and is the owner of the Tropicana Hotel).

He advised

that during this investigation he had an occasion to converse

with

Rev. BILL BEENY of St. Louis, Missouri, concerning BEN JAFFE

while in Del Rio,

• Texas in December, 1960.

He advised that he

read in the Chicago "Tribune" newspaper dated November 27, 1963

that the same Rev. BEENY of St. Louis, Missouri, reportedly a

candidate for governor of Missouri, had offered a home and job

to MrS. LEE OSWALD.

He advised that he conversed

with BILL BEENY regarding

BEN JAFFE inasmuch as BEENY was leasing radio time on Station XERF,

which is located in Ciudad Acuna,

Mexico directly across the river

from Del R1O,.

Texas and is allegedly owned by BEN JAFFE.

He advised that the nominees of JAFFE regarding the

Owner-

ship of this radio

station were ARTURO GONZALEZ and

his partner (ONU)

well-known residents

of Del Rio, Texas.

He advised that he

suspected GONZALEZ to be a Communist and closely associated with

Cuban activities. He advised that CONZALEZ is married to a Cuban

and has made numerous trips to Cuba before and after the Castro

revolution.

CG 6491-C further advised that WILLIAM BURNES of txternatiönal

Advertising Agency, San Antonio, Texas,

is also familiar with BEENY as

he,

i, BURNES,

was

engaged in securing radio time from station XERF on

behalf of BEENY.

CG 649I-C is characterized as a Dun and Bradstreet inves

tigator as well as operating as a private investigator and is con.

sidered extremely reliable.
