INDERNAL SECURITY - RUSSIA

DECLASSIFY ON: 25X

This reviews an article concerning the assassination df

President Kennedy in the March,

1964, issue of "Saga" magazine by

neE Special Agent William W. Turner (E.O.D. 2-5-51 - Dismissed

7-19-61 ) who is presently appealing his dismissal before the Circuit

Court 12 the District.: Turner's self-centered, embittered, illogical

astitude is well know to us and his article is what we might expect

22on hin.

SUMMARY

should be laid

Turner attempts to argue that the blame for the assassination

to FBi bungling by way of not prewarning the Secret Service

of Oswald's potential as an assassin and that the cause of this was

lack of cooperation and communication between the Bureau and the

a.

Secret Service.

In the lead paragraph of the article, Turner claims

that he went to Dallas "just a few hours" after the assassination to

conduci & personal FBI-type inquiry as he sensed that "there were too

nady questions unanswered, too much information concealed."

This is

patently crystal-ball nonsense and at the outset shows his

motivation.

In light of his stated conviction that Oswald was indeed

the assassin and that he acted on his own without left wing,

right wing

or crime syndicate plotting, the article is particularly vicious in its

euggestion

chs deed.

that someone other than Oswald is basically to be blamed for

Jurner's case is pure sophistry the basic premises of which

are heroinafier reviewed point by point.

His argument consists of part

IocE, lnrgely inaccurate and irresponsible newspaper reports and

oucright falsehoods.

He endeavors to lend credence to his argument

by inading on his past experience as a Bureau Agent and it is in this

zeals that he clearly lies in discussing Bureau investigative techniques

He concludes his article with a four-point appeal to

*Îfecü that 1. Presidential appearances henceforth not be in open cars

and that the President be required to wear a bullet-proof vest when

appearine in public.

2.

made a Federal offense.

That an attempt on the President's life be

3.

not be publicized and 4.

That President's route in andout of city

That a permanent Federal Commission be

established to insure proper cooperation and communication between

agoncies such as Bureau and Secret Service and that the Commission be

Memorandun to Mr. Sullivan

Re:

LEE HARVEY OSWALD

105-32555

SECRET

Statement:

Oswald prudently transferred his political activities to

New Orleans (date not indicated) as Dallas is a city that

leans to the right and because of local Dallas police

vigilance against communist-type activity.

Fact: Oswald left Dallas and traveled to New Orleans in late April,

1955, as he was out of work and at the urging of his wife due to

having attempted to assassinate General Walker on April 10,

1963. The inference that Oswald feared Dallas police vigilance

is nonsense for he returned to the Dallas area five months later

to live.

Statement: It is FBI responsibility to make dissemination to

Secret Service but there is historical evidence that proper

dissemination is not always made at the Washington level.

In support he cites that in 1945 the Royal Canadian

Mounted Police (RCMP) told the Bureau about Klaus Fuchs

Who they suspected was a soviet agent, however, the FBl

took no action:

He also cites: that in 1960 the FBI

collected damaging information about Bernon F. Mitchell

and Willian H. Martin, National Security Agency (NSA)

employees, and again failed to alert anyone after which

Witchell and Martin fled to Cuba thence to Russia where

they compromised U.S. secret codes throughout the world.

Fact: The nome of Fuchs and his British address came to attention of

after arrest of Israel Halperin in

February, 1946, as a

result of the disclosures of Igor Gouzenko, Soviet Code Clerk

who defected in Canada in 1945.

Halperin, a Canadian, was

named by Gouzenko as a member of a Soviet military intelligence

network in Canada.

Fuchs' name and his address in England were in

an address book and diary in Halperin's possession. The book

and diary were furnished to the Bureau on 3-12-46 and names and

addresses of Anericans appearing in the documents were furnished

to the field.

The documents were furnished by the Canadians to

the British and no action was taken by the Bureau with respect

to individuals living abroad. Fuchs first became an espionage

euspect in 1949 on the basis of Bureau Source 5 information (not S

to be disseminated).

We, however, advised the British and in

january, 1950,

Fuchs confessed in

England to his espionage

activities.

When Mitchell and Martin defected to the Soviets

in June, 1960, we had never conducted any investigation.of

them nor had we received any allegations concerning them.
