(a) HKi=w=1607, 30 Karch 1956

(b) HKH-n-1505, 28 December 1955

DATE 17 April 1956

Regarding reference (a) the Station concurs fully with the proposed pronotion

of Arthur G. Vaivada and desires also at this tine to bring to the aucention

of Headquarters the merits of granting Vaivada steff status either

concurrently with the promotion or as soon thereafter as may prove feasible.

The agent himself has expressed a keen interest in acquiring such status,

for a number of obvious reasons.

As a contract agent, Vaivada has not been

entitled to the standard step increases that accrue to regular iS employees •

Horeover he has not had the benefi of recent legislative increases in basic

salary rates,

such thai his salary, originally set 16 August 195u at the then

W-9 level,

is still $5050.00 per annum.

Perhaps of more importance than

the foregoing considerations is the fact that this agent has been and is

losing out in terms of the retirement, health insurance,

and other nore long-

tern advantages availicle to staff personnel. The agent has several times

expressed to the case officer his concern, as a family nan, over the fact that

he is not receiving retirement credits with his years of service. Vaivada's.

expressed career interests lie in continued employment by XUBARK, nore

especially in the area of unofficial cover assignments in the field, and in

view of his qualities of character and nigh level of performance for Ki BARK

the Station has no hesitation in recoumending to Headquarters that he be

awarded the desired conge in status.

In view of the agent's present salary level it is recommended that the

prosotion iron his preseni grase be to the equivalent of a GS-10 at a per

anmin salary_of_5,915.00. If Headquarters concurs-in-the-recommendation-

that the agent be granted staff officer status, the agent kould nove up to

the GS-ll grade at-tbat time.

Argentina, with thon contact is paintained, for the purpose of attempting to

assist agent at that end in having the proper entry permit issued. He also

indicated the possibility of returning to Costa Rica and rhile in that area

being plausibly and legitinately enployed while awaiting another Agency

assignment.

Inasmuch as a combination of factors lead to the conclusion

that it rould be unrise to attempt to exert other influence in an atienot

to have BIRDIAL granted an Argentine visa, and for other cover consicerationg

as vell as the time element which may be involved, the matter ras discussed

rath other representatives of it who desired to take the Agent over in

connection with PB Success.

Arrangements were set up for Agent to meet the Chief of the Guatamalan

Station. Subseguently, on 8 December 1953 Agent SIRADIAL tas introduced

Intediate future be handling EIRADIAL in connection with certain operaticnal

matters and as of 1 December 1953 BIRADIAL Will be chargeable to PB Success.

to be very cooperative and his attitude ras comendable.

When he first

learned that he had been denied entry to Euenos Aires,

he tas screwhat

chagrined since he appeared to be set on an attempt to do a good job in

a "tight" area.

He had not given up hope to obtain proper authorization

and tas rilling to pursue the matter further since he felt over a period

of time he mould be allowed proper ertry authority. Ee suggested several

possibilities.

8.

Agent also expressed a desire to go to Cuba or anywhere else the Agency

felt he could be of best service to the gency regerdless of the difficulties

rithin reason, which nay have been imposed on him and his faily.

9. In view of Agent's past successful record with this Igency, in view of his

attitude, his future possibilities and his coparatively limited salary:

it was suggested to r. Hobbing that he might consider a raise in Agent's

salary.

10. The Buenos Aires kission was on 7 December 1953 advised that Agent was

denied entry to Argentina.

I. It should be noted that Agent has indicated that his wife has been maintaining

contact with her distant relative in lar De Plata who is expecting Agent and

his wife to go to Argentina.

In this connection, Agent on ll December 1953

L DOC. NIgRO. 552 ]

The above-named individual is Chief of the

Commercial

Department of the Ministry of Finance on a full time

he is also the coce

and cipher specialist within

the Costa Rican Government and personally provided the coces now

being used by the Foreign Office and Seguridad Pública.

latter responsibility apparently süems from his hobbyd working. with

codes and ciphers and the absence of any better-qualified expert

on this subject.

He is a member of the American Cryptogram Association,

is a "ham" radio operator, an expert photographer,

and in amateur

chemist, among other things.

During the 1948 revolutica, he pro-

vided the rebel forces with code systems and broke a cose being used

bo the incerent adore stration during times of emergency,

On other occasions he has fursished codes

Officers of the Comercial Section of the Embassy.

have had cordial and cooperative relations with subject on comercial

and economic matters for some time.

Recently one of these officers

informal inquires con-

denning the possibilitie technical dice and assistance

from the Embassy or the Department of State with a view to improving

the cipher system of the Foreign Oriice.

It was suggesied to subject

that an official request to the Embassy for such infortation would

probably result in a polite rerusal?

but that one of the Embassy

officers, RUSSO,

had had experience in codes and ciphers while

serving in the Arny,

and that perhaps an unofficial discussion would

be kelpful.

On this basis, a luncheon date was arranged at which

time subject

stated that the Foreign Minister had recertly questioned

him for several hours on the security of the Foreign Office codes and

possible means of improving them, and had instructed subject to study

the problem.

According to subject, the Foreign Minister then indicated

serious concern over the threat presented by local and international

Communist activities-and-speculated-on-various-possibilities of cover=

ing their activities.

Subject then digressed

from code and cipher talk to the

subject of

their use,

and potentialities and possible

nethods of detection.

inks He indicated that he was interested' in establish-

ing a secret censorship of suspect mail coming into the country,.

particularly the mail of known Communists,

inquired whether

assistance could be offered in this field of secret writing detection

and clandestine censorship techniques.

So. In view of the fact that this sudden turn in the con-

versation struck uncomfortably close to the HUMAlfOID-1 and HUMANOID-2

operation, we attempted to discourage subject by pointing out that

such a proposal was illegal and would have drastically dangerous

political

and legal repercussions if it were attempted and leaked out.

We asked if Foreign Minister LARA had approved this censorship

proposition and also inguired how the Foreign Office could possibly

interest itself in a matter which would seem to come under the

jurisdiction of Seguridad Pública.

POVEDATO replied that it had not

been discussed in plain words with LARA,

but that he would discuss it

with him in order to determine whether the matter shoula be dropped

or explored further.

He was cautioned not to tell LARA of his

conversations with the Enbassy officers.

Several days later subject advised that he had discussed

the matter fully with Foreign Finister LARA and that the latter had

been extremely interested in the proposal.

However, LARA pointed

out that the Foreign Office had no jurisdiction in this regard and

told POVEDANo to discuss the proposition with Lt. Col. Gonzalo SEGARES,

Oficial Mayor of Seguridad Pública.

According to POVEDANO,

SEGARES became very enthusiastic

about the idea and authorized subject to carry out further study and

collect the necessary technical data and equipment. SECARES offered

to provide funds for purchase of required chenicals, etc., for ex-

perimentation in secret ink detection and instructed subject to make

plans for the training of several additional persons in the procedure.

Subject indicated to SEGARES that he would use his home darkroom and

laboratory for this training and possibly even for the eventual

processing of suspect correspondence.

With this official authorization and support,

again inquired whether it would be possible for us to assist him ir

obtaining pertinent manuals, background literature, reference material,

and technical advice on mail censorship procedures and secret writing

detection.

In view of subject's apparent official backlog and

personal determination-to-continue-his-inquiries,-we_decided_to-make

a gesture of assistance on a confidential, unofficial basis with a

-view-to-controlling-and-possibly-directing-nis activities.-

9.

Accordingly, RUSSO described a personal friend in the

Division

of Communications and Records of the Department who had had

considerable experience in censorship work and offered to make in-

quiries of this individual for any available material.

It was also

Indicated that this person.

would be asked to

comment on the probable

reaction of the Department to an official

confidential request from

the Costa Rican Government

for assistance.

It was sugrested to subject.

that he not discuss this matter with any other individuals pending

a reply to our inquiries, to which he agreed.

He also agreed that

the best approach to this whole project would be to proceed only with

training and planning activities at this time and not attempt to

initiate actual censorship until an emergency arises, such as a

Communist armed uprising or a third world war.

However, on this

•latter point it is believed probable that subject would

prefer to

begin the activity regardless of whether an emergency arises, in order

to obtain coverage of current Comnunist activities..

10.

As is obvious from the above conversations, a number

of operational possibilities (and hazards) are presented

to us and

headquarters comments and guidance are respectfully requested.

Depending

on headquarters desires and policies, we could possibly

graquadly aiscourage suoject from ever initiating his project prior

to an emergency while at the same time assisting him with pertinent

written material provided by headquarters for his planning ana train-

ing purposes.

This would have the advantage of facilitating the

organization

of a competent crew on a stand-by basis who could be put

to work if a world war were to break out.:

We could tap this govern-

ment censorship activity.

However, in view of our presently only

a more attractive opportunity might be

sincerely to assist subject,

limited post office coverage insure his development of a secure project,

and substitute our present coverage by an all-Costa Rican operation.

• It appears that we could control such an operation either by working

through subject or by dealing directly with Colonel SEGARES.

chis latter situation,

we could probably expand the activity to provide

coverage of cable traffic, and possibly international telephone calls.

*A danger here is the traditional lack of security consciousness of

Costa: Ricans.

11. In any event we are faced with a situation which

presents a potential security threat to our current post office

censorship activity.

Headquarters comments are requested as soon as

possible on at least the following points:

a.

censorship methods for passing to-POVEDANO as though it

were obtained from a friend-of-RUSSO? In_this connection

we have in mand possibly unclassified Army instructional

manuals, etc.

b. Will headquarters approve our accepting POVEDANO'S

invitation to work with him on an unofficial basis in

his planning and

experimentation

activities, thus keeping

ourselves informed

of his progress?

Is headquarters interested in the possibility.

of replacing our presently incomplete post office coverage

with an all-Costa Rican operation which we could tap either

through POVEDANO or directly through SEGARES?

Inless advised to the contrary, we will continue

our present HUrANOID-1 and iNUMANOLD-2 activities during

this period despite POVEDANO's project. HUMANOID will be

alerted, however.

Is headquarters interested in our casually

returning discussion to the subject of codes and ciphers

with a possible view to assisting Costa Rica obtain systems

to which we might retain a key?

Could headquarters provide an opinion as to what

the reaction of the Department of State would be to a formal

request from the Costa

Rican Government for assistance on

either codes and ciphers or clandestine censorship?

It is to be noted that POVEDANO knows RUSSO as just

another Embassy officer.

In all our discussion with him we have

stressed that this is a

subject which RUSSO cannot aiscuss in his

he acad day cotta be arrected ke to the coa persona

but would like to help on a personal basis because

POVEDANO has

apparently accepted this relationship and assures that he has not

indicated to LARA Or SECARES that he has talked with RUSSO, merely

informing them that he, POVEDANO, would attempt to obtain reference

naterial through friends in the American cryptographic society ano

elsewhere.

13. One lest comment. If headquarters decision is to stay

cleer of this whole proposition,

it is earnestly requested that some

overt-publications_on-the-subject-be-furnished_us_to_pass_to_POVEDANQ

for the purpose of indicating a reply has been received to our inquiries.

The continued

good will of POVEDANO is deemed of operational value as

he appears to be well connected in high government circles.

Also, in view of the fact subject will be questioning

us continually as to what we have learned, and will be suspending

other action pending our advice, we ask that an immediate answer,

however, as

reported previcusly, HUANOID is beset with financial

problems which unicubtedly detrict from his full

wörking efficiency on matters of interest to us.

His

GI subsistence is currently terminated during the

school vacutions and a certain portion of his time is

devoted to odd jobs in an effort to augment his

income.

The former Chief of Station recomended an

Increase from 1,000 to 1,500 colones in July, 1951, a

recommendation in which the writer concurred.

However,

in the event current operational restrictions are

renoved, it is desired to recouend at this time an

Increase

to sixteen hundred (1,600) colones per month.

The additional one hundred colones permonth is

sugrested in view of the fact that subject has

borrowec coney in recent months to meet hospital bills,

and because he has been aware of and probably counted

on the raise recom.endation of the former Chief of

Stätion.

further,

if the restrictions are lifted, 1t

1s desired to utilize subject's time to the fullest

advantuge without the handicap of his having, to seek

other outside employment.

In an effort to evaluate more accurately subject's

agent-handling ability, the writer monitored a

spocially arranged 45-ninute contact, between HUMANCID

and Hl'ANIST-2.

Fron a concealed vantare point less

than three feet from the participants, the writer was

able to hear and see HUANCID's handling of this sub-

VAIVADA appears to be a hard, conscientious worker. He is quick and

alert of mind and possesses maturity of judguent. Subject studied the

training material with enthusiasm and expressed the desire to improve

himself. VAIVADA displayed an excellent understanding of tradecraft

techniques as portrayed in his written work. He has the ability to apply

theory to practice.

His goal was to improve himself to the best of his

ability, as his past experience in the field had been on a trial and

error basis.

His experience in South Averica might account for his

unhurried thinking and action, but it will undoubtedly assist him in his

future operations as he simply refuses to become ruffled or panicky.

It

Is the belief of this instructor that VAIVADA 1s well qualified for his

MEMORANDUM FOR:

Special Deputy, WH

SUDJECTS

Mr. ROSs CROZIER

4 December 1953

By pre-arrangesent through fr. Smyser I had an interview ith Mr. Ross

Crozier in my room at the Hotel kaleigh on the night of ? Decenber 1953

for the purpose of getting an impression as to whether it was possible

that he could be used to advantage in our prograt.

Mr. Crozier has been a contract agent in Costa Rica for approximately L

He is married to a Costa Rican and has 2 children, ages 2 and 4o

reporting done by the station in Costa Rica and the indication of sources

of information in reports fron that station, I an inclinea to think that

he very ably handled hingelf.

In addition,

I was very much impressed

with him during the course of

the interview ard feel that he is an ex-

cellent type, having all the necessary qualifications for giving sub-

stantial assistance to our program. He has 7 ronths remaining under the

GI assistance bill for educational purposes and it can be

satisfactorily

arranged by him to complete his education at San Carlos University,

Guatemala. Under the Guatenalan Law his wife, being a Costa Rican,

becomes a Guataralan citizen upon her establishment of residence in

Guatemala and this is a distinct advantage.

Ee has a valid U.S. passport on which his two chiliren are carried but

It cill be desirable that he enter Guatemala as a tourist, either with a

tourist visa in his passport or on a tourist card.

The children could

also be issued tourist cards.

The use of a to rist card elininates

the necessity of his reporting to the police.

He can stay 6 months and

then obtain a renewal of the tourist card without leaving the country.

Within a relatively short time he unquestionably coild be of distinct

advantage to us on reporting on activities and attitudes of students and

other elements.

He could act as a cut-out. I feel that he is qualified to actually

develop a penétration into the Communist Party, a feat with which he

had sone success in Costa Rica. He could handle an important PP opera-

tion with Enrique SALAZAR Liquens(also knoim as Oscar H. CARTA In

station files), which operation is presently being handled through

Donald 0. Hediger. Irrespective of whether Hediger continues with

Guatanala or 13 siven assigmant outside the country, I believe that 1t

a that se

1s important to have Crozier with us in Guatemala. We can find plenty

for him to do.

SUEJECT: EILADIAL

On ilednesday 18 lovember 1953 subject was introduced to John Heyn.

The

introduction vas desned advisable, inasmuch as it would probably facilitate

sibsequent meetings

in Buenos Aires there it is anticipated that subject mill

be operatings providing his visa is granted.

BIR/DIAL, Indicated he had not heard fron the Argentine Embassy of Costa

Rica, bance is planing to have his rife write to follow this matter Innediately.

BIRADIAL mentioned the fact that his wife's relatives, and with thon he

may dell when he first noves to Buenos hires, may be in a position to assist

in obtaining a visa for subject.

He indicated that having a native of the

country render sone assistance in this regard may be the solution to any possible

difficulties.

It apuears logical, horever, he was inforred not to make any

approaches at this tire.

He agian noted that inasmuch as it will be necessary to stop in Costa Rica

to pick up his visa when granted, he sugrested the possibility of leaving for

Costa Rica shortly following the terrination of his covert training. As previously

indicated he felt that nis presence in Costa Rica, where he can plausibly naintain

himself and his farily, and where he ray be in personal touch with the Argentine

imbassy, may be to his advantage in securing his visa.

On 24 November 1953, subject called to inforn he had received a letter

fron the Argentine Erbassy in Costa Rica informing him his visa had been denied.

He informed he still felt he could obtain it but it may be necessary to seek

assistance fron his wife's relatives in iuenos Aires or it nay be necessary to

go back to Costa Rica for a short period to finaiize the matter. Too, he

suggested that in the event he cannot obtain the appropriate permission to enter

Buenos Aires the Agency may desire to send hin some where else in Latin Aerica,

possibly Cuba (he mentioned specifically) or sone other country.

In this

connection, he felt that cover rise he and his fanily would be in a more secure

position if they mere in Costa Rica rile ataiting placenent.

I plan to see EIRADIAL On 25 liovember 1953.

SUBJBCT: BIRADIAL (202-2723)

On Monday, 5 October 1953, the writer met sith subject at his apart

ment to deliver

the necessary "credentials" allowing his proper entry to

covert training facilities.

During this neeting he informed that he was too late for entrance

to George Washinaton University. He was. then in the process of making

Irquiry at American University.

He also nentioned that he upened an account with a bank in Alexardria,

Va. I'm not so sure that this was such a good idea--but the account has

been opened.

He had had an account with the Chase lational Eank; however,

he has closed this account since he claims he received guch poor service

from this bank while at his previous station.

He stated he would like to

have an account established with a large banking institution which has a

brench affiliation in Buenos hires where he will be assigned, so that his

pay may be deposited in the l'. S. securely by us.: It is suggested this

be worked out sith Finance.

On Wednesday 8. M. subject called to inform that his home phone number

is now TEmple 6-3651. He has enrolled in merican University and will attend

classes daily from 9:30 a. M. to 11:30 a. M. He is studying Corporate Finance

and other enaljeis courses.

During the conversation he expressed amazenent

at the cost of $93 for schooling for one semester. Although he aid not

request reimbursement for this amount, it was inferred that he would undoubtecly

appreciate it if this expenditure could be absorbed by us.

In tien of subject's past excellent performance in behalf of this Agency,

and inasmuch as he is not highly paid, it is recom-ended that Agent be

reimbursed for this expenditure even if it neans anending the project.

Agent has not been paid for the month of September. I shall check

w1th Finance and deliver Agent's salary to hán.

George rashirgton Eniversity in the field of Econcmies.

Subject's wife has a clese friend in Argentine uhe 19 carried to an Argentino

arry sergeant.

Her nore 1s Alicia Cas'ro de CPUZ, 25 de l'ayo #5327, l'ar del Plata,

Argentina. This nore has been given to tre Argentine Corsul es a charecter

refererce.

Subject has 6-7 norths of GI bil eligibility left for frettire studies.

Due to the fact that subject's wife h's been witting of his general activities,

It was carefully explained ir him that the agency hed certsir resertions

considering this point.

Emphasis was put on the point that good oreretional

security prectices in his futuro assignnent would be of extreme importerce

for obvious reerons.

It was pointed cut that this irterir period in kashington

would to an ideal time to sorerete his activites from tone life since his wife.

would no longer be in a commirity where she and her jusband were well

inown.

Ho was frank in edni: ting that he reslized the dangers also, end would cooperate

to the fullestentent.

TOTE: Subject is sensible in his arrraech to secutity and aprears to think through

etch proclem on its own perits.

The er'ent of his wife's knowledge was to knots

that he was "going out to (a section of Sen Jose) for business reasons". She wes

see wit'ing of his conrection with Commnist activites, since on several occasions

she was able to contact persons when it was not suitable for his to do so. At no

tise has she press-d him for in'orration, and his zenerel feeling 1s that she

should be told only enough to explain urdue ai sences fron rome.

He was cautioned

that his future superiors whold take a dim view of his wife's perticipation, even

to the limited estent he has iniicated did occur in the rest.

He agread thet

being in a new corrunity with no local friends of long standing would meke this it

easier for them is start on this new basis.

It 1s the cas. officar's opinion that subject has carefully controlled his

fife's knowledge and actid prudently in ratters involving security.

operetional achievements are evidence that his secutity prectises have been

sound, and it is belleved that four years of covert contact with a well-known

Cortunist in San Jose with no security breaches are sufficient prooß of his

wife's security conscdousness.

the most valuable agent of the san Jose Station.

directed and exuloited a high-level penetration of the Cuminist

„Party of Costa Rica.

Anong otber accomplishments, he recruited

to rail intercept agents, processing the take hinself, zad has

recruited three additional agents presently being used; ne also

set up safe-houses and vas in charge of the monitoring post in a

technical surveillance.

In the latter instance, his quicir thining

in renoving the equipzent prevented its discovery, when tbe opera-

tion was blown due to circunstances unrelated to his bancling of

the operation.

Hore recently, BRADIAL personally entered the. Con-

mmist Party headquarters surreptitiously during the lay Day cele-

bration and carried off nore than 75% of their official records.

His case officers have been impressed with his initiative, security-

mindedness, and ability to exercise good judgement under operational

stress.

BIRADIAL's transfer fron Costa Rica to another area has

becose necessary due to the expiration of his cover status as a

student there.

4. BIRADIAL has already created his cover for the first year

of his new assignent in Buenos dires, having been acceptad as a

student at the University of duencs Aires for the tern beginzing

March 1954.

During this period he till develop & small paotographic

business, in which he has had professional experience, to cover his

activities in Argentina after completing his university studies. No

funds for this purpose will be required from this igency.

The project's objectives are the develnoment of penetrations of

the Cornist Party of Argentina (FCA), 1ts front organizations and

Chief, Wi Division

SUBJECT

: Humanoid

1. At the request of Yr. Caldwell, I ret with Humamid on the

occasion of his visit to Hashington last lovember and made cemain oral

cormitments on behalf of the Division.

to cormitment, borever, was very

specific and all were cleared with the Division in advarce.. Xy partici-

pation in

the matter was, of course, oxing to the fact that I had

recruited funanoid originally and enjoy his confidence.

2.

Hunanoid in the past has pursued his activities on behalf of

this organization as somewhat of a profitable avocation. His perfomance,

nonetreless, has teen outstanding fron the point of vier of iritiativi

production and understanding of operational principles.

He kould now

like to make it a career but lacks sufficient irfomation upon which to

base a decision and, being partially aware of the uncertrinties involved,

insists upon maintaining an alternate vocation.

In pursuit of this latter

objective, he plans to move to Fuenos hires in June or July of 1953 and

establish hirself there on a perranent basis.

His inquiries were to

ascertain what effect these plars would have upon his present and future

relationship with this organization.

3. I advised Fumanoid to continue with his plans as outlined above,

stipulating only that he remain in his present location until after the

forthconing elections and assured hin that as a consequence of his past

tion at lcast equal to trat w...

He Is aresents receiving.

l. I then explained that our participation in his move would

necessarily have to be deternired at a later date but requested him to

keep us inforted of his plans on a contiming basis, assuring hit. that

It would do no ham to request such assistance as he might need. In this

connection, I advised him to request foral training,

which he has never

had, implyirg that this would be grarted, and suggested that a formal

contract, future conpensation, travel experse and so forth could best be

negotiated here at that time.

5. I recommend, therefore, that furanoid be brought to headquarters

for a period of training and that a contract agent relationship contain

ing. the usual travel and allowance provisions be foralized at that time.

Basic compensation should certairly consider his past record and proven

reliability in addition to the initiative he has shown in laying

obr. cover. Although his future assigment is none of my business, I

would mint out that he has proven adept at smotting, recruiting airi

agent handling and suggest that his talents would be greatly circumscribed

11 assigned to direct exploitation of a specific target.

MENORANDUM FOR CHIEF, BRANCH IIT

SUBJECT: HUMANOID

1. Attached hereto is a letter received from HUMANOID by Hr.

Edward A. Harelius, row at Headquarters and the former Chief of Station

at Costa Rica, who recruited HUMANOID.

2. Particular reference is nade to Paragraph 6 regarding a change

in assignment.. Mr. Harelius thinks that when subject finishes his

school year in 1953 he should be brought to Headquarters for training,

and that be should be converted to Staif Agent for possible reassign-

ment in Latin America under deep cover. Mr. Marelius thinks that

HUMANOID will go stale in San Jose and that a change should be made to

better utilize his services. Although subject is the principal source

"in Costa Rica, he feels that arrangements could be made for an orderly

turn-over and departure..

3. Thile I tas assigned in Panana I net subject, at which time

he was contemplating moving to Panama, attending the University, and

norking for the Panama station:

He impressed me very well' and would

have been quite an asset, but the deal fell through due to the higher

cost

of living in Panana and the fact that he would lose considerable

credits in transferring.

La I do not know whether it can be worked out but I certainly

would go along with recomending that he be afforded training in the

•So and that he be reassigned, preferably to Argentina or one oi th

ther countries where he is irgently needed for additional unofficia

cover. Ibe question of his'converting to Staff Agent night be worked

Dear Ed,

The interval has been long enough for me to wonder If you are

still around 1 ilerl1

just go ahead

with this and nope for a decent

forwarding service at that end.

How are you and Betty these days ? 1'11 bet you miss the old

days in LA at tImes... but just remember this,

things are not what

they used to be l This place, (in spite of increasing political pulse)

is deader than Hell. Take it from me.

This is our beloved winter now.. you remember; dreamy, sunny

mornings... until about 1100... then swoosh ! Your walking around thru

another dark, clammy and moldy rainy season. - Well, I guess bitter

cold waves are not so pleasant eigher.

larco seems to be getting prematurely old. He's haalthy enough;

but 1 guess the country is just as boring for him as it is for me.

He still cannot pass up a chance to jump in carfor a ride now and then

and seems to be just about his Ne 1 thrill.

As fiT

the family here, everyone is fine. I belleve I had told

you that Lilliam Caridad was born June 195l so now we are quite salisfiec

vith the pair. They are both fat, dumb and happy (and how l envy then

for that). Ross A. is now over three years and

quite the boy..

As for me,

same old stuff. Fourth yoar at the U. with passing

grades and possibilities of the degree next year whereever It may be

undertaken.' I am pretty well fed up with the environment: (again) and

¡this time am sure to be gone sometime within the first quarter of 53.

I have very little idea where...-anama U. 'is once again encouragèng.

the high standard of liuing there. Even

Mexico would get me close enough to the continental US for more

frequent

visits which is hat I need at the moment. (That is actually Doctors

advice now.) At any rate, l feel that l might be able do do more somewhere

else. Do you have any ideas ? They would certainly be welcomed.

All the ald acquaintances are still around. Mary is well and

apcarently happy. judy is fine. I like Dave's new friend very much

and am reminded

of the old Marelius touch. We haven't many new

friends these days and its my impression that we had better be getting

a little more

social minded.

vell, going to cllp this short and head for the U. There's a petty

strike on

and one must keep up with the current at least. Best wishes

to you folks and hope to hear from you soon.
