I went to the "La Jolla History Room" at the La Jolla library the other day and did some research on the phone call that David Ferrie made to La Jolla, California on April 19, 1962-- (714) 459-4311. http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/ferriephone.txt

 

The 1962 "La Jolla Bluebook" phone book says that that number was to Security First National Bank (which later became Security Pacific National Bank).

It's interesting that he would call a bank in La Jolla, given the fact that Clint Murchison owned the Hotel Del Charro here in my hometown, and that Hoover and Tolson would stay at the Del Charro during the Del Mar Turf Club racing season which starts in early July and lasts through early September. (I remember seeing Nixon during the summer of 1968 in the La Jolla Presbyterian Church, fwiw.)

The number that Ferrie called on 4/19/62 differed from the Hotel Del Charro's number by one digit: (714) 459-3311. Hmmm. Maybe he was trying to call the Del Charro and mis-dialed?

I guess my theory that Ferrie miss-dialed the number to the Del Charro and reached a bank by mistake doesn't make much sense. If he had tried to call the Del Charro but called the bank by mistake, it's reasonable to assume that his next call would have been to the Del Charro. But it wasn't. In fact this call to La Jolla on 4/19/62 was the only time I know of that he called anyone in La Jolla from that phone. (Doh!) So now I'm wondering why he called the bank...

I am interested in La Jolla because Hal Collins, Jr. sent a telegram from there on Nov., 24, 1964, to the Dallas City jail in support of Jack Ruby.

http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=16815&view=findpost&p=219128

Collins's sister, Mary Ann, had married Tom Clark's brother Robert, in 1957, and she lived in La Jolla. I found a source saying Robert Lanier Clark died in 1963, so I do not know if Mary Ann Collins Clark purchased the La Jolla property before, or after Clark's death.

Led to More Deals

For Webb, the Flamingo experience led to a series of deals

with other developers including Henry Crown of Chicago and

Arnold S. Kirkeby of Los Angeles.

Crown, now 80, a Chicago financier who owned the Empire State Building

from 1954 to 1961, became a close adviser to Webb. He was a longtime ally of

a Chicago Democratic boss, the late Jacob M. (Jake) Arvey, and a business associate

of Tucson developer Sam Nanini, another Chicagoan with acknowledged mob connections....

At the time of the WC's investigation, Arvey's former law partners, David Bazelon was chief judge of the DC appellate court, and Paul Ziffren was a year away from seeing his son Ken appointed by Earl Warren as his law clerk.

The 1964 candidate for president was close to one of the four Chicago hoodlums Maury Hughes had worked to parole from federal prison.:

Goldwater attended Bioff's funeral in 1955, but he denied knowledge of Willie's true identity. Still, reporters learned that Bioff had known Goldwater since November 1952, that he loaned Goldwater $10000 for a California farm investment...

John McCain's and Barack Obama's political careers owed much to James Hensley, associated with Bioff's wire service and Flamingo Casino crony, Kemper Marley, and in Obama's case, to Lester Crown.

Michael F. Wendland - 1977 - 276 pages

....What happened next wasn't. For according to the records, on the very same day

that Zerilli's combine made its initial purchase-July 21, 1955—it sold 975 of

the acres. Zerilli's selling price on his newly bought land was $1,258 an

acre, or almost double the per-acre price he had just paid.

Who was the buyer foolish enough to pay so much? None other than one Arnold

S. Kirkeby of Los Angeles. Kirkeby was an international financier with big

mob connections. Before his death in a 1962 plane crash, Kirkeby was linked

to Chicago mob interests. He was also the former owner of the National Hotel

in Havana, Cuba, where mob moneyman Meyer Lansky had his office and operated

the hotel gambling casino. Kirkeby and Lansky also knew Zerilli....

....his time, Henry Crown, a Chicago investor, bought 360 acres of land owned by

Martori a dozen miles from Arrowhead. The cost was nearly a million dollars,

or an unusually high $2,778 per acre. A week later, on September 22, 1966,

Martori and Goldwater purchased the main Arrowhead Ranch from Webb for just

$685 an acre, only $27 more per acre than Zerilli had paid for it eleven

years before.

All this led reporters to the ranch's current status. In November 1976, it

was a part of the giant Goldmar corporation, owned by Robert Goldwater and

the Martori family. Old Joseph F. Martori had died in 1973. Harry Rosenzweig,

the Goldwater brothers' chief business and political associate and the man

Berger had referred to as head of the Phoenix power structure, was a recent

member of the board of directors. So was John Curci, one of Detroit hoodlum

Zerilli's partners in the fruit brokering business originally set up in 1955

to market Arrowhead citrus. And Carl Jarson, an original co-owner of

Arrowhead with Zerilli, had bragged to Wendland that Goldmar was one of his

biggest customers. Thus, while mobster Zerilli, at seventy-three, lived in

Michigan and was ostensibly out of Arizona, some of his associates still had

business interests in Arrowhead.

Putting it all together, IRE had established links between the Goldwater

brothers and Rosenzweig and organized crime figures going back more than two

decades-associations which were still beneath the surface in the fall of 1976.

It was no accident that Bush V.P. Dan Quayle's grandfather, Eugene Pulliam, refused to publish the research gathered by the I.R.E. reporters convened to find the murderers of Pulliam's own reporter, Don Bolles.:

I guess my theory that Ferrie miss-dialed the number to the Del Charro and reached a bank instead doesn't make much sense. If he had tried to call the Del Charro (but called the bank by mistake), it's reasonable to assume that the next call on his list would have been from him to the correct number for the Hotel Del Charro, but it wasn't. The very next call on Ferrie's phonecall list was from someone in San Diego. His phonecall to the bank in La Jolla on 4/19/62 was apparently the only time he called anyone in La Jolla from that phone.

So now I'm wondering why he called that bank...

Barry Goldwater: the biography of a conservative

Rob Wood, Dean Smith - 1961 - 175 pages - Snippet view

It was one thing to be a big man in Phoenix where your family owned the city's most fashionable mercantile store. Or stroll the beaches of La Jolla, California, where you owned a summer home. It was something else to be a giant on the national political scene... It was win, Barry, or get the hell out of the game...

I'm planning to spend some more time next week at the La Jolla Library, where they've got La Jolla Bluebooks (phone books, most with "Homeowner's Directories" in the back) going back to 1936(!) plus lots of other juicy resources regarding people who have lived in La Jolla over the years. Right now I'm trying to figure out who "Hal and Pauline Collins" were and what their backgrounds and associations were here in La Jolla as well as nationally.

Anyone got anything on Hal Collins of La Jolla, California (or any other "person of interest" from the San Diego area)?

Thanks, :)

Mary Ann Collins was Hal's sister, she married Tom C Clark's brother, Robert, in 1957. From post on first page of same thread as I am posting in :

Robert Clark died in 1963, and the post linked directly above includes a news report of a robbery at Clark's widow's La Jolla home in the mid 1960's.

Good stuff, Tom. The 1963 La Jolla Bluebbok doesn't show a Hal Collins, but maybe he had a vacation home here which wasn't listed. Or maybe Murchison was in town during the assassination and Hal and Pauline were visiting him? Or maybe a friend in La Jolla sent the telegram for them, but why go to all that trouble unless it was just to make it look like they were here? Couldn't find a listing for a Robert Clark or a Mary Ann Clark or a Mary Ann Collins, either, but I only had enough time to look in a few Bluebooks today, including the one from 1963.

Tom,

Thanks for including that, Tom!

I noticed that the list of footnotes is quite long (as, of course, one would expect seein' as how the subject matter is Jack Ruby). Pray tell, which ones do you recommend reading in regarding Hal Collins's connections to Ruby, the Mafia, the CIA, the FBI, etc etc?
