Dr: lic Daniel and Jones were conversing at a table and

Also, he did not know how or when Jones went to Cuba.

He thought Jones had a fairly good technical job in Cuba.

He

also thought that Jones said that he (Jones) had no passport.

Dr. Wallenmeyer said he did not pay much attention to Jones'

statements.

Jones impressed him as a person who was not

against what is being done in the United States but who thought

what was being done in Cuba was a good thing.

He seemed to

the executions by Castro, Jones defended Castro and

explained the executions in this way:

during the revolution

when the citizens of Cuba caught followers of Batista,

Castro told them not to take the law into their own hands

but to let the revolution handle those people.

If Castro

atrocities there and took military steps against Cuba.

Jones said that in Cuba, he was working for a lady

about thirty-seven years old. He aid he is a psychologist.

His boss there in Cuba is a fine woman dedicated to the

Cuba. Jones said the Batista Government had a large number

of exploiters.

Date

Dr. William A. Wallenmeyer,

Research Division,

Atomic Energy Comnission, Germantown, Maryland, furnished

the following Information:

On September 4, 1953, he was In Moscow, Russia,

for a scientific conference.

He attanded the opera that

evening and then returned to the Ukraine Hotel, where he

met Louis Jones through a colleague, Dr. Paul Me. Daniel.

Dr: lis Daniel and Jones were conversing at a table and

Dr. Wallenmeyer joined them for about fifteen or twenty

minutes, during the middle part of their conversation.

During this partof the conversation, Jones mentioned

returning to the United States to continue his education.

Also during this time, Dr. Mc Daniel asked Jones if he knew

he was in trouble with the State Department over his travel

to Cuba. Dr. Wallenmeyer's impression was that Jones

realized that he was, but he seemed to think it couid be

cleared up.

Dr. Wallenmeyer had no information that Jones had

knowledge of United States travel regulations before going to

Cuba.

Also, he did not know how of when Jones went to cuba.

He thought Jones had a fairly good technical job in Cuba.

He

also thought that Jones said that he (Jones) had no passport.

Dr. Wallenmeyer said he did not pay much attention to Jones'

statements.

Jones impressed him as a person who was not

against what is being done in the United States but who thought

what was being done in Cuba was a good thing.

He seemed to

think he was helping the Cubans and was helping himself at

the same time.

He did not talk against the United States,

and even mentioned that he wanted to come back to this country.

At the same time; he was not disillusioned about what was

going on in Cuba.

Dr. Wallenmeyer was not sure that he was

present when Dr. Mc Daniel. asked Jones if he was amember of

the Communist Party. He did have the impression that Jones

was not overly concerned that he was in trouble over his

travel to Cuba. He said he did not believe that Jones was on

a hate campaign against the United Sates during the

portion of the conversation he heard.

Mr. Wallenmeyer is willing to testify to his contact

with Jones in Moscow.

Dr. William A. Wallenmeyer, Research Division,

Atomic Energy Comnission, Germantown, Maryland, furnished

the following information:

On September 4, 1953, he was In Moscow, Russia,

for a scientific conference.

He attanded the opera that

evening and then returned to the Ukraine Hotel, where he

met Louis Jones through a colleague, Dr. Paul Me. Daniel.

Dr: lic Daniel and Jones were conversing at a table and

Dr. Wallenmeyer joined them for about fifteen or twenty

minutes, during the middle part of their conversation.

uring this partof the conversation, Jones mentioner

eturning to the United States to continue his education.

Also during this time, Dr. Mc Daniel asked Jones if he knew

he was in trouble with the State Department over his travel

Dr. Wallenmeyer's impression was that Jones

realized that he was, but he seemed to think it could be

Dr. Wallenmeyer had no information that Jones had

knowledge of United States travel regulations before going to

Cuba.

Also, he did not know how or when Jones went to Cuba.

He thought Jones had a fairly good lechnical job in Cuba.

He

also thought that Jones said that ha (dones, had no passport.

Dr. Wallenmeyer said he did not pay much aïtention to Jones'

statements.

Jones impressed him as a person who was not

against what is being done in the United States but who thought

what was being done in Cuba was a good thing. He seemed to

think he was helping the Cubans and was helping himself at

the same time.

He did not talk against the United States,

and even mentioned that he wanted to come back to this country.

At the same time, he was not disillusioned about what was

going on in Cuba. Dr. Wallenmeyer was noü sure that he was

present when Dr. Mc Daniel asked Jones if he was amember of

the Communist Party. He did have the impression that Jones

was not overly concerned that he was in trouble over his

travel to Cuba. He said he did not believe that Jones was on

a hate campaign against the United States during the

portion of the conversation he heard.

Mr.

Wallenmeyer is willing to testify to his contact

with Jones in Moscow.

Date

October 9, 1963

Dr. Paul W. Me Daniel, Director, Division of Research,

Atomic Energy Commission, Cermantown, Maryland, furnished the

following information:

He was In Moscow during August and September, 1963, for

a scientific conference. On September 4, 1963, the night before

he left Moscow, he met Louis Henry Jones

in the Ukraine Hotel

in Moscow. At

this hotel one orders coffee at a serving

bar, then carries it to any available table.

On this occasion

Jones was occupying a table where Dr. Mc Daniel found an

empty seat.

He described Jones as about 28-30 years old;

slender face, and large prominent mouth. Jones has a

really

out-going, bubbling personality. He introduced himself and

told Dr. Me Daniel that he was an American citizen and lived

in Havana, Cuba.

Dr. Mc Daniel became interested then and

talked with Jones for about an hour, starting at lt p.m.,

September 4, 1963.

Jones said that he had not finished his

education and wanted to return to the Unlted States to do so.

Although Dr. Mc Daniel cannot recall the verbatim conversation,

there 1s no question in his minü that Jones was sympathetic

to communism. He asked if Jones was a member of the Communist

Party. Jones said he was

not a member of the Communist Party

but was fully sympathetic with the aims and goals of the communist

movement. This was almost an exact quote of Jones' response,

to Dr. Me Daniel's recollection.

Jones did not say why he was in Moscow. However,

he was greeted by a number of Spanish speaking people,

mostly women, who treated him with some deference as

repay him.

Jones described Castro as a humanitarian who

does not like violence. When Dr, Mc Daniel asked him about

the executions by castro, Jones defended Castro and

explained the executions

in this way: during the revolution

when the citizens of Cuba caught followers of Batista,

Castro told them not to take the law into their own hands i

but to let the revolution handle those people. If Castro

had not done this, thousands would have been killed.

Then,

although Castro did not like to do it, he had to execute

some to fulfill his promise to the people.

Jones was aware of Dr. Mc Daniel's position with

the

United States Covernment.

When asked if he did not

think he was in crouble with

the State Department over his

travel. to Cuba, he said he was sure ha was,

He said that

he expected to have serious trouble, but said this would be

on the conscience of the United States Government and not

on his.

he made several very carcgatory remarks about

the United States Department of State and the United States

Government generally. These remarks alleged that the

United States Government lied about Cuba, and about

atrocities there and took military steps against Cuba.

Jones said that in Cuba, he was working for a lady

about thirty-seven years old. He paid he is. a psychologist.

His boss there in Cuba is a fine woman dedicated to the

revolution.

Jones said he found it a wonderful opportunity.

He has a free reign to conduct researchgo,

Dr. Mc Daniel asked him why so many people left

Cuba. Jones said the Batista Government had a large number

of exploiters.

They knew no other life.

They ran cuba.

They were intelligent and important.

In the new

socialist

order they just did not fit and they left.

Jones said

this was for the betterment of the Cuban system.

He expected

the revolution to be a complete success and does not expect

many of these people to ever return to Cuba.

Jones said he does not have a passport. He did

not say how he left the United States or how he traveled

to Cuba, other than to say he went there on a vacation.

Dr. Mc Daniel asked Jones how he explained having

three servants during

this revolution.

He explained the

servants by saying that this was a transition period

in the revolution.

Although Dr. Mc Daniel cannot recall Jones' exact words, he

received the impression farm Jones Thor looked upon the

revolution in Cuba as the beginning of a great cause.

In Dr. Me Daniel's opinion, Jones' attitude towara

communism is an attitude one would expect him to have

if he had been born in Russia and had grown up under

communism.

Dr. Me Daniel had no information that Jones had

Knowledge of United States travel regulations when he

went to Cuba.
