William Kelly Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) In reading the HSCA testimony of Col. Jones, it is interesting that he claims that there were eight to a dozen Army Intelligence officers in plain clothes working in Dallas on the day of the assassination, including Powell, who said that he was not working officially but took off that day and was there on his own. Another Army Intel officer who was working, Coyne, was at the breakfast with ATF agent and Hosty discussing the Masen gun case. Also significant, I think, is Jones failure to even know the identity of Whitemyer, the US Army Reserve Officer who Limpkin invited to sit in the Pilot Car at the last minute. Whitemeyer was with the 488th, an Army Reserve Unit with many Dallas police officers, that was apparently primarily a training outfit for the Dallas area. Jones on the other hand, was the commander of the US Army 112th Military Intelligence Group at Fort Sam Houston from June 1963 to 1965, which encompases and area that includes Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and other states in the Southwest. Although both the regular US Army and the US Army Reserves are under the Department of Defense, they are essentially two different armies, one an active command, the other a Reserve Unit that is only called up for active duty when needed, the Weekend Warriors as they are called. It's still hard to believe that Jones, the commander of the 112th, wouldn't know the commander of the 488th, which is in his district. http://www.jfklancer...RobertJones.htm lhttp://www.history-m...jones_0001a.htm Edited February 4, 2011 by William Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Graves Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) See post How did the police first learn of 1026 N. Beckley? By Steve Thomas [/url] http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=2331 and from PDS's Deep Politics & the Death of JFK: p. 276 The Plot and the Coverup – Deep Politics and the Death of JFK by PDS ...two minutes earlier by Jack Alston Crichton, a right-wing Republican, oil operator, member of Army Intelligence Reserve (9 WH 106), and head of "a local Army Intelligence Unit" (WCD 386, SS 1058). Crichton knew Mamantov personally as a fellow petroleum geologist. He also knew him because Mamantov was a precinct chairman o the Republican party, for which Crichton became the 1964 candidate for governor of Texas. It is not known how many Dallas policemen were also (as is apparently a widespread practice) members of the U.S. Army Reserve. One such reservist was Detective Adamik (7 WH 203), a member of the party which retrieved the rifle-blanket from the Paine garage and later reported what he overheard at Mamantov's interview of Marina about the rifle ("She said that it looked like her husband's rifle. She said that it was dark"; 24 WH291). Another member of Army Intelligence Reserve was Captain W. P. Gannaway, Revill's supervisor as head of the Dallas Police Special Service Bureau (WCD 1426.26; 19 WH 120); Gannaway's secretary was reported by an out-of-town police chief to be "closely connected" to Jack Ruby (WCD 86.151). This story was plausible, given the close connection between Ruby and the SSB, including men who participated in the search of the TSBD and the arrest of Oswald. Since the protection of visiting dignitaries was one of the SSB's responsibilities (5 WH48), Gannaway was involved in the meetings arranged by Secret Service advance man Winston Lawson for the Kennedy visit (5 WH39; 7 WH 580). According to a news story in FBI files, in 1963 both Captain Gannaway and his subordinate Lieutenant Revill were assigned a special responsibility for "espionage and subversive activities" in Dallas. This was in conjunction with Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, military intelligence teams from the army, navy, and air force, and other federal agencies with investigators operating from headquarters here…The job of [Revill's] intelligence section in Capt. Gannaway's bureau…requires the closest cooperation with these other governmental agencies gathering intelligence on subversive groups suspected of espionage…With membership in a national police intelligence organization known as LEIU (Law Enforcement Intelligence Units) the local officers are able to get information almost immediately on suspected subversives when they move into Dallas. This information is exchanged by police units as these persons move from city to city…Employes in [industrial] plants are carefully screened by security conscious personnel officers, and in key jobs are given strict government security clearances. Industry is taking great strides to upgrade security practices. One such group in this area is the American Society for Industrial Security. 10 The possibility that Oswald was an informant for this centralized security team would explain his visit to the Dallas American Civil Liberties Union, a liberal group being investigated by Revill's intelligence section, in the company of an extreme right-winger (Michael Paine). 11. One can see how easily a false legend for Oswald could have been generated in the shared files of this coordinated security campaign, involving the Dallas SSB, FBI, military intelligence, and the American Society for Industrial Security. Such a centralized file system could be the source for the recurring (and unexplained) inversion of Oswald's name, as Harvey Lee Oswald, in the files of the Dallas police (e.g., 19 WH 438, 24 WH 259), FBI (e.g., 23 WH 207, 23 WH 373), Secret Service (16 WH 721, 748), army intelligence, and navy intelligence. 12. The most intriguing "Harvey Lee Oswald" document is Jack Revill's list of employees at the Texas School Book Depository, compiled right after the assassination, before Oswald had been apprehended for the Tippit murder. For some unexplained reason, Oswald's inverted name ("Harvey Lee Oswald") was at the very head of that list, accompanied by an address, "605 Elsbeth," that slightly misrepresented the address (602 Elsbeth) where he had resided a year earlier (24 WH 259). 13 The Elsbeth address does suggest that Oswald's data had been parked for some time before the assassination in an intelligence file, not hitherto identified. One possibility would be the files of the LEIU, the Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit, the intercity police-intelligence organization of which Revill as the lead local representative. LEIU's files, unlike ordinary police files, cannot be given to any civilian authorities and are treated as exempt from the Freedom of Information Act. As we shall see, it was also a frequent practice for the LEIU member intelligence units to collaborate with army intelligence. 14. Another army reserve officer in Dealey plaza may have been Winston Lawson, the White House Secret Service agent responsible for the choice of the Kennedy motorcade route (4 WH 318). Lawson's first three reports of what happened on and before November 22 raise considerable questions about his performance…… [emphasis added by T.

A solo practitioner, he focused his Dallas practice on taxation and investments. Earlier in his career, he was an attorney at the U.S. Treasury Department and in the Tax Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. He was a director of the Dallas Council on World Affairs and helped raise $1 million for the establishment of the Manley O. Hudson Chair of International Law at HLS.

Averell Harris, Irving B. Harris You'd have to read carefully the Paul Hellmuth thread and mull over the names and connections in my last post in that thread.: http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=10776&st=0&p=242851entry242851 You'd have to ask yourself why a lawyer partnered with Paul F. Hellmuth at Hale & Dorr, Joseph N. Welch, would be dragging himself and several of his colleagues down to Washington to represent the U.S. Army, pro bono? Was the Army indigent, incapable of paying for legal counsel? What do you make of the spectacle of Roy Cohen and G. David Schine? Their antics triggered Welch's decision to take on the Army as a charity case. Schine was as at least as vigorously and absurdly portrayed by government/media as an anti-communist extremist as LHO was portrayed as a marxist extremist. I see a recurring pattern, Tom. It involves less than fifty people, and less than a dozen are at its core. http://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&tbo=1&q=+paul+hellmuth+%22malcolm+dooley%22&btnG=#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&tbo=1&tbs=ar:1&tbm=nws&source=hp&q=%22Dorr+partner+%28and+later+revealed+as+a+conduit+for+CIA+funds%29%2C+became+a+key+sponsor+of*%22&pbx=1&oq=&aq=&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=30aacb60a5189cbc&biw=1173&bih=736 The first idealist-hero of the TV age Pay-Per-View - Boston Globe - Jul 18, 1997 In late 1958, lawyer Paul Hellmuth, a Notre Dame alumnus and Hale & Dorr partner (and later revealed as a conduit for CIA funds), became a key sponsor of Dooley's projects. http://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&tbo=1&q=+paul+hellmuth+%22malcolm+dooley%22&btnG=#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&tbo=1&tbs=ar:1&tbm=nws&source=hp&q=conrad+hilton+dooley+&pbx=1&oq=conrad+hilton+dooley+&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=s&gs_upl=638l638l16l2106l1l1l0l0l0l0l0l0ll0l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=30aacb60a5189cbc&biw=1173&bih=736 Engineer Quits Job to Aid Dr. Dooley Los Angeles Times - Dec 18, 1959 The plane was pur- chased for Dooley by hotel man Conrad Hilton. Euster's previous service in the Oril- cnt was as military pilot in. After that, its basically a game played again and again by the same core players. In the 1980's Bush roommate Robert Macauley played the Tom Dooley part, and the boosters were still the same, CIA WR Grace/Knights of Malta, Hellmuth's Independence Foundation co-trustee, David B. Stone's brother, Robert G. Stone, Jr., and Allen Quasha. Leading up to Nov., 1963, Robert G. Stone's wife's brother, Godfrey A. Rockefeller, has a recent employment history with Bell Helicopters in Dallas, and goes on to a much longer association with Bell and its acquirer. In the mid 1970's, Stone's daughter married William HG Fitzgerald's son. Thomas J. Devine is Bush's partner, Stone's partner, and had the ssame best man as Nancy Bush, Wm. B. Macomber, Jr. Rockefeller heads the WWF, with Devine's buddy, Bohlen, under Rockefeller. Bush is acquainted with De Mohrenschildt through Ed Hooker, and probably through George Kichel. Devine met with De Mohrenschildt in May, 1963 and reported to the CIA about the meeting via a "secure line". Fitzgerald's best man, Byfield is linked both to Henry Crown and to Jack Ruby. Fitzgerald's usher, Hammonds, becomes Jack Crichton's accountant and co-director. Crichton just happens to almost instantly produce an interpreter for LHO's wife. Joseph N. Welch's wife grew up in tiny Washington, GA, and if Welch and his partner, Hellmuth were working for Army intelligence, at some point in the 1950's, after 40 years of marriage, Welch could have imparted to Hellmuth, Army Intel, CIA, or all three, details of "Little Alek" Stephenson and his secretary, William Hidell. Tom, I hope you would agree it would be odd enough if the only coincidences outlined in this post were that Byfield was at least acquainted with a close friend of Jack Ruby, and his mother leased Glen Ora to JFK, and Bush knew LHO's "best friend," DeMohrenschildt. But that does not happen to be the case. Byfield is an Army officer in the same small, top secret project, commanded by the same OSS Lt. Col. as Nancy Bush and Devine best man, Macomber. But, it turns out that Bush's sister's best man was investigating LHO in late 1960, and Hellmuth's co-trustee, David B. Stone, had a brother in business with Tom Devine, and the best man investigating Oswald was also Devine's best man, and the Stone brother in business with Tom Devine administered a Harvard fund that turned around the business fortunes of Bush's son, George, setting him up to be a multi-millionaire, and that Tom Dooley had identical backing and similar mission as Robert Macauley did, 22 years later.

By Steve Thomas [/url] http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=2331 and from PDS's Deep Politics & the Death of JFK: p. 276 The Plot and the Coverup – Deep Politics and the Death of JFK by PDS ...two minutes earlier by Jack Alston Crichton, a right-wing Republican, oil operator, member of Army Intelligence Reserve (9 WH 106), and head of "a local Army Intelligence Unit" (WCD 386, SS 1058). Crichton knew Mamantov personally as a fellow petroleum geologist. He also knew him because Mamantov was a precinct chairman o the Republican party, for which Crichton became the 1964 candidate for governor of Texas. It is not known how many Dallas policemen were also (as is apparently a widespread practice) members of the U.S. Army Reserve. One such reservist was Detective Adamik (7 WH 203), a member of the party which retrieved the rifle-blanket from the Paine garage and later reported what he overheard at Mamantov's interview of Marina about the rifle ("She said that it looked like her husband's rifle. She said that it was dark"; 24 WH291). Another member of Army Intelligence Reserve was Captain W. P. Gannaway, Revill's supervisor as head of the Dallas Police Special Service Bureau (WCD 1426.26; 19 WH 120); Gannaway's secretary was reported by an out-of-town police chief to be "closely connected" to Jack Ruby (WCD 86.151). This story was plausible, given the close connection between Ruby and the SSB, including men who participated in the search of the TSBD and the arrest of Oswald. Since the protection of visiting dignitaries was one of the SSB's responsibilities (5 WH48), Gannaway was involved in the meetings arranged by Secret Service advance man Winston Lawson for the Kennedy visit (5 WH39; 7 WH 580). According to a news story in FBI files, in 1963 both Captain Gannaway and his subordinate Lieutenant Revill were assigned a special responsibility for "espionage and subversive activities" in Dallas. This was in conjunction with Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, military intelligence teams from the army, navy, and air force, and other federal agencies with investigators operating from headquarters here…The job of [Revill's] intelligence section in Capt. Gannaway's bureau…requires the closest cooperation with these other governmental agencies gathering intelligence on subversive groups suspected of espionage…With membership in a national police intelligence organization known as LEIU (Law Enforcement Intelligence Units) the local officers are able to get information almost immediately on suspected subversives when they move into Dallas. This information is exchanged by police units as these persons move from city to city…Employes in [industrial] plants are carefully screened by security conscious personnel officers, and in key jobs are given strict government security clearances. Industry is taking great strides to upgrade security practices. One such group in this area is the American Society for Industrial Security. 10 The possibility that Oswald was an informant for this centralized security team would explain his visit to the Dallas American Civil Liberties Union, a liberal group being investigated by Revill's intelligence section, in the company of an extreme right-winger (Michael Paine). 11. One can see how easily a false legend for Oswald could have been generated in the shared files of this coordinated security campaign, involving the Dallas SSB, FBI, military intelligence, and the American Society for Industrial Security. Such a centralized file system could be the source for the recurring (and unexplained) inversion of Oswald's name, as Harvey Lee Oswald, in the files of the Dallas police (e.g., 19 WH 438, 24 WH 259), FBI (e.g., 23 WH 207, 23 WH 373), Secret Service (16 WH 721, 748), army intelligence, and navy intelligence. 12. The most intriguing "Harvey Lee Oswald" document is Jack Revill's list of employees at the Texas School Book Depository, compiled right after the assassination, before Oswald had been apprehended for the Tippit murder. For some unexplained reason, Oswald's inverted name ("Harvey Lee Oswald") was at the very head of that list, accompanied by an address, "605 Elsbeth," that slightly misrepresented the address (602 Elsbeth) where he had resided a year earlier (24 WH 259). 13 The Elsbeth address does suggest that Oswald's data had been parked for some time before the assassination in an intelligence file, not hitherto identified. One possibility would be the files of the LEIU, the Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit, the intercity police-intelligence organization of which Revill as the lead local representative. LEIU's files, unlike ordinary police files, cannot be given to any civilian authorities and are treated as exempt from the Freedom of Information Act. As we shall see, it was also a frequent practice for the LEIU member intelligence units to collaborate with army intelligence. 14. Another army reserve officer in Dealey plaza may have been Winston Lawson, the White House Secret Service agent responsible for the choice of the Kennedy motorcade route (4 WH 318).
