http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2005/site...3203_train.html Appropriately, Train's family fortune came, in large measure, from the 19th-century profits of Enoch Train and Company, a clipper-ship firm that served as a junior partner of the British East India Company in the Far East opium trade. Train's grandfather on his mother's side was a founding partner of JP Morgan. Born in 1928, John Train was educated at Groton, Harvard, and The Sorbonne. In 1951, Train founded the Paris Review, a project of the Anglo-American intelligence community's postwar cultural-warfare front, the Congress for Cultural Freedom. The publisher of Paris Review was Train's Harvard roommate, Sadruddin Aga Khan. The magazine promoted such dregs of Fabian cultural perversion as the poet and British intelligence operative W.H. Auden; British literati spook Stephen Spender; British counterculturalist Aldous Huxley; propagandist-for-Weimar Christopher Isherwood; and Archibald MacLeish. ...By 1956, Train returned to the United States, working for two years for Wall Street speculator Imre de Vegh, before launching Smith Train Counsel, his private investment fund....in 1984, Smith Train Counsel was partly bought up by the London-based English Associate Trust, which was, in turn, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Swedish banking giant, PK Banken, a joint venture of the Swedish government and the notorious Erik Penser. ---------- From The American Conservative magazine February 16, 2004 In this environment, the American jeunesse dorée of Peter Mathiessen; his stunning wife, the writer Patsy Southgate; George Plimpton; and Paris Review managing editor, John Train, Sadruddin Aga Kahn’s roommate at Har- vard, flourished. ------------ It appears that George Ames Plimpton was also part of the same New England Brahman class. http://www.smith.edu/library/libs/ssc/newsames.html http://www.twenga.co.uk/book/mad-ducks-and...s_50215065.html George Ames Plimpton was born March 18, 1927. He was educated first at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, and then spent four years at Harvard majoring in English and editing the Harvard Lampoon, followed by two at King's College, Cambridge. ...Plimpton also served as a volunteer for Robert Kennedy's 1968 presidential run and was walking in front of him as the candidate was assassinated in the kitchen of a Los Angeles hotel.

http://forum.alexanderpalace.org/index.php...ic=10393.0;wap2 Archduchess Assunta of Austria Prince_Christopher: Does anyone have any information on the life of Archduchess Assunta of Austria (1902-1993), daughter of Archduke Leopold and Blanca, Infanta of Spain? She was the younger sister of Archduke Anton who married Ileana of Roumania. Assunta married a Dr. Hopfinger and spent most of her life in the United States. grandduchessella: In 1946, the Archduchess sued Betina Harding for her portrayal of her as queer, eccentric and immoral in Harding's book The Last Waltz. MarieCharlotte: Quote from: José on October 14, 2007, 10:24:00 AM Are there any pics/photos of the family ? This wonderful book contains two rare pictures of Assunta as an adult. On the first one she is dressed as a nun and on the second one you can see her with her husband Dr. Joseph Hopfinger with whom she had two daughters. If you compare her pictures to those of her sisters, Assunta was the most beautiful daughter of Leopold and Blanca. There are also a lot of family pictures showing the ten children of Leopold Salvator - which means Assunta and her siblings - in earlier years. You could have a look at worldroots for example. MarieCharlotte: Quote from: Svetabel on October 14, 2007, 01:29:56 AM Some info from the wonderful book by David McIntosh "The Unkhown Habsburgs" : "Assunta entered a convent in Barcelona with the intention of becoming a nun, but was forced to flee when the convent was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War in 1936...At the age of 37 Assunta married a Doctor, Joseph Hopfinger, who originated from Galicia. He was Jewish and as remaining in Europe at that time was unsafe, they emigrated to the USA. The couple, who had 2 daughters, Maria Teresa and Elisabeth, divorced in 1950. Assunta spent the rest of her life in Texas and died in San Antonio in 1993." Some additions: Assunta entered the convent of the Carmelites of the Holy Teresa in Tortosa which is in the southwest of Barcelona in 1924. She stayed there unil the end of 1936 when the nuns had to flee for Roma. Because there were too many nuns in the monasteries, Pope Pius XI. released those who had relatives from their vow. On 16 (civil) / 17 (religious) September 1939, Assunta married Dr. Joseph Hopfinger in Ouchy in the south of Lausanne (CH). Hopfinger was born on 14 March 1905 as the son of Aron Hopfinger and Sara Rachel Roth. Their daughters are Maria Teresa (born Barcelona, 12 May 1940) and Juliette Elisabeth (born New York, 30 Oktober 1942). Juliette changed her name "Hopfinger" into "Habsburg-Bourbon". Assunta and Hopfinger got divorced in San Antonio on 25 July 1950. Assunta didn't marry again and died at Saint Teresa's Academy (San Antonio, Texas) on 24 January 1993. She was 90 years old. After the divorce, Hopfinger married a woman called Helen N. He also changed his name into Joseph Hoppin, but I don't know when. He died at Charleston (South Carolina) on 23 August 1992 aged 87. Prince_Christopher: Quote from: MarieCharlotte on October 17, 2007, 01:59:13 PM This wonderful book contains two rare pictures of Assunta as an adult. Forgive me, but two books were mentioned on this thread. MarieCharlotte, are you referring to The Unknown Hapsburgs or The Last Waltz? Prince_Christopher: I wonder what the family situation was like. Anton is the only one of ten siblings who made an illustrious marriage, and wasn't he working at a gas station at some point? Another brother became a factory worker in the US. And it seems I remember reading that Leopold had a grocery store. Were some of the other daughters nuns? Did Assunta keep in touch with her royal relations? *** MarieCharlotte: Oh sorry, Prince Christopher! I was refering to The Unknown Hapsburgs - I don't even own the other book! ;-) If you are interested in these two pictures, I can post them, of course. Britt, I got the information from one of Alois Jahn's books. I think we've talked about them before. Eurohistory: Archduchess Assunta's granddaughter wrote a memoir of her grandmother for the EUROPEAN ROYAL HISTORY JOURNAL. It was published by us about 4 years ago...a very nice and touching reminiscence.

Tom, I think you have summarized the research quite well here. Terry is correct in stating that EIR, the LaRouche organization, has zeroed in on John Train as the operator of a "salon" which targeted Lyndon LaRouche after he sponsored the publication of the first Dope, Inc edition. Jeff Steinberg, Anton Chaitkin and others have been working for decades in an attempt to destroy the drug-running network that funds these so-called aristocrats who kept the cold war so wound up in order to use the power of the US government to protect their narcotics and gambling incomes. That was where the real money was; the oil infrastructure was the facade behind which they hid their real cash cow--vice, which seems to lure so many scions of wealth into the vise of their power. The Bush family was lured into this vise first, as far as I can tell, by the wiles of the second wife of the Rev. James Smith Bush when he was in mourning for his first wife. But that's another story.... The second publication of Dope, Inc. expanded the research and came much closer to exposing the British and Canadian connection to show how the drug money was laundered through Caribbean banks--almost all being run by British bankers through Canadian auspices. What we are seeing now in your research, Tom, is how these bankers, operating out of London, manipulated and maneuvered their pawns, including the Kentuckian oilman Warner L. Jones, descendant of the founder of the Kentucky Derby, and friend and horse-breeding partner of Humble Oil/Exxon scion Will Farish III, whose family was completely tied up in the Anglo-American investment bank of Brown Brothers Harriman, as was Prescott Bush and his sons. The term "investment banking" is a polite euphemism for using governmental power to advance the wealth of the non-working jet-set classes by corrupt intelligence operations. The focus should not be on the "Central Intelligence Agency" per se, because this agency is merely a tool of the international banking establishment which has always made its biggest profits from vice. That is history, as propounded by the LaRouche organization, which has taken its research all the way back to the Roman Empire, to Venice; from there to the Bank of Amsterdam and the Bank of England. In order to really understand what has been happening all along, we have to understand the mentality of the banking class that existed in 1776 in England which had been making money from the slave trade and moved into financing transportation of convicts to Australia and to forcing the Chinese government to allow them to bring opium from India to China. It was that trade in China which taken over by the British government for a time after it removed the monopoly granted to the BEIC in order to pay for the two Opium Wars which occurred at about the same time the British bankers lost their investment in what was then Mexico (now Texas). The bankers had made huge loans to the government that had thrown out Spanish conquerors in 1821. (For an overview of the aftermath of this period, see When Mexico Had the Blues: A Transatlantic Tale of Bonds, Bankers, and Nationalists, 1862–1910 written so well by STEVEN C. TOPIK: "When Maximilian von Habsburg's gilded coach first entered Mexico City in May of 1864 to an enthusiastic greeting, the future appeared as glittering as his livery. French troops would help the Austrian prince resurrect Mexico's past brilliance. But Maximilian needed more than just soldiers to build his New World empire. The emperor needed gold. He turned to the Paris stock market, where the French regime of Napoleon III put its prestige behind bond issues of 1864 and 1865 worth some 534 million francs, in a stroke tripling Mexico's foreign debt...Today's globalism is not new. During the "hundred years' peace" before World War I, international capital flowed freely over most of the globe....Cooperation between financiers of different nationalities was just as common as competition. Indeed, family allegiance among members of international financial diasporas was just as strong as their patriotism. The international banking houses were precursors of today's multinational corporations... Mexico's little blue bonds lived a most cosmopolitan life. They provide a wide-angle lens to study the mechanics of international history. To write the biography of the "petits bleus," we must follow the sage advice Deep Throat gave Woodward and Bernstein in the movie—"Follow the money."") More on this later.

Bertita Harding--The Lost Waltz CHARLESTON D A I L Y M A I L . S A T U R D A Y E V E N I N G , M A R C H 2 3 , 1946 Author Faces Damage Action INDIANAPOLIS <AP>. — A suit filed in federal district court in the name of Assunta de Hapsburg Bourbon Hopfinger asks $100,000 damages from Bertita Harding on the allegation that Miss Harding's book, "Lost Waltz," depicts the plaintiff as a "queer, eccentric and immoral person." The "Lost Waltz" is written around the life of Archduke Leopold Salvator of Austria, a nephew of Emperor Franz Joseph. The book says Mrs. Hopfinger is the daughter of the archduke. Sunday Feb. 3,1957 Anniston, Alabama Star Books About Otto Since Archduke Otto's visit to Anniston has created so much interest in him and his family some books have been called for which give background to his life. The Hapsburg name came from the family castle in Switzerland, built in the llth century by Werner Bishop of Strassburg. Its name was Habichtsburg, which means Hawk's Castle." The first member of the family to become a ruler was Rudolph who was elected Holy Roman emperor in 1213. The last of the family to hold a throne was Charles I, who gave up his title at the end of World War I. Archduke Otto, his son, made efforts during World War II to get back the throne. Bertita Harding, an American biographer, has written a number of books on the Hapsburgs. From childhood her imagination was captured by the tragic story of the Hapsburg dynasty. Her grandmother and former ladies in waiting of the court told her stories of the royalty. Her books are the result of this keen interest and years of research. "Golden Fleece" is the dramatic retelling of the life story of Franz Joseph and Elizabeth. This book opens with the pre-wedding activities of the Emperor and his beautiful bride, and closes with his death. "Phantom Crown" is the chronicle of Napoleon III's attempt to rule Mexico through the agency of Archduke Maximillian, brother of Franz-Joseph. The first part of the book deals with his early life and marriage to Carlotta and with Napoleon's political plottings. The book ends w i t h Maximlllian's disastrous reign and fall, his death and Carlotta's return to Europe. The story of Archduke Otto's father and mother, Karl and Zita, is told in Miss Harding'g book "Imperial Twilight" The deeply human qualities of these two are pictured In a most interesting fashion. Theirs Is the story of heroic frustration and the author very dramatically pictures their plight. "The Lost Waltz" is the story of Archduke Leopold Salvatore. At the close of World War I the family fled to Spain, the native land of the Archduke's wife. They lived here until the Spanish Civil War. This branch of the family had its ups and downs too. The genealogy of the Hamburg family is charted In this volume. Tipton Daily Tribune - March 7, 1945, Tipton, Indiana "The Lost Waltz" Is Reviewed At Art Association Meeting Mrs. Vesta Larmore presided as the program chairman. She mentioned the fact that the book chosen for this March program, "The Lost Waltz," had recently been added to the list of best seller 'books. Mrs. Larmore then presented Mrs. Carl Graf who gave the life of the author, Bertita Harding. She is a most fascinating person with an exceptional gift of association, and because of her own personal background and travels, as an impressario she has found just the right manner to present the historical Hapsburg aristocrats to the modern public. Book Is Reviewed Mrs. Robert Nichols was then introduced, and she gave the review of the book "The Lost Waltz" which is probably one of the last Hapsburg excursion's. It is a memoir of the family of the Archduke Leopold Salvalor, of Austria, nephew of the Emporer 'Franz Joseph, who married the Infanta Blanca of Castile, daughter of the pretender to the Spanish throne. The Infanta Blanca was a tempestuous artistocrat," a brilliant woman, who had also the rare gift of common sense, and believed firmly in the institution of motherhood, 'presenting the Archduke with ten handsome, healthy children. This story, "The Lost Waltz" began in November: 1918 at the time of the Armistice at the end of World War I, -and continued to March 1944. It is the story of exile of the Hapsburg family from their home in Vienna, the gay prewar capital of Austria, [and they crowded -a variety of topsey-turvey activities and romantic excitements into their years in Italy, Spain, France, and the New World, and the postwar Austria which was also a foreign country. Their experiences while 'in exile might have been tragic to some, but through sheer force of personality, temperament, ingenuity and curiosity, they-made their own way, steadfastly holding to the humor of their situation, and with all good will accepted the transition from royalty to democracy, and they found in the dance of life, that the waltz did not go on forever. ------------- Daily Capital News - December 15, 1944, Jefferson City, Missouri Ten children were born to the Archduke and the Archduchess Infanta of Spain. Of this considerable brood, Franz Joseph, Maria Antonia, and Assunta come to the fore; extraordinary happenings were destined to follow them. The story begins with the end of World War I. Little Frail Joseph returns from the rigorous Boys' Academy of Stella Matuina to find his family in hiding. A mob was marching on his father's castle; the Habsburgs were deposed and hunted. Immediate flight was imperative, and carrying jewels, scraps, of food, and barely a change of clothing, they made their eventful escape to Spain via Trieste and a steaia which was ordered, by wireless, turn back with the fugitives. Happily ,the captain was carrying contraband and had reasons of his own for ignoring the order. Once admitted to Spain, life for the whole family, accustomed to having things done for them, became a struggle of doing for themselves. How well they took to it is a tribute to them, makes you feel that exile was a wind that blew good, and furnishes most enjoyable reading. Nostalgia for old Vienna is there, cannot be denied, but, "The waltz did not-go on forever; it faded softly, and was lost . . ."That the waltz ended was perhaps just as well, for the dancers made themselves new and useful lives in a world which would have daunted lesser souls. --------------- Name: Assunta L Hopfinger Address: 1038 Fair Av, San Antonio, Texas 78223-0401 (1993) ------------

Henry Alexander Salm was a crewman on the 50-foot sloop Angelique, belonging to Charles N.

From that point you seemed to digress without stating to whom you were referring. How does Olmsted and the others examined fit into this topic about Train, Cabot? I will attempt to answer my own question here. First, it seems the reference to the Train, Cabot partner must have been to GEORGE D. O'NEILL http://www.meriwethercapital.net/about.htm Prior to the formation of Meriwether [Capital in 1976], Mr. O'Neill held various positions with several financial institutions including Train, Cabot & Associates, Equity Corporation and Chase Manhattan Bank. Mr. O'Neill has served as a director of many companies including Rockefeller Group, Inc., Bell Aircraft and Wheelabrator. He was formerly a Commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Mr. O'Neill is a graduate of Harvard University. George D. O'Neill, a Harvard graduate, had married Abby Milton, a daughter of John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s daughter, Abby Rockefeller Milton, who, after divorcing him, later became Abby Mauze. George Dorr O'Neill--son of Grover O'Neill--and Abby Milton were married in 1949. In 1932 Wallace Groves formed Equity Corp. to take over Yosemite. A year later, according to Time Magazine (Jun. 12, 1933), he sold it to "David Meriwether Milton, a young lawyer who married Abby, daughter of John Davison Rockefeller Jr., shortly after he defended her on a speeding charge. He works for the comfortable old firm of Satterlee & Canfield but like his father-in-law his outside interests are real estate and finance. About the time that the father-in-law was launching Rockefeller Center, David Milton launched a swank East River apartment house for which Mr. Rockefeller loaned him $1,000,000. And about the time Mr. Rockefeller woke up to the fact that he was the biggest stockholder of Chase National Bank, David Milton bought an investment trust. It was a nice little trust with $400,000 in assets. Last January he picked up another. By acquiring Equity last week he became president of a $7,500,000 concern with the simplifying of Wallace Grove's ornate structure as his chief job." Time, Dec. 28, 1936: Mr. Milton last week went to Washington to explain to the Securities & Exchange Commission about the complicated maze of Equity Corp. Before going into the story of each of 44 companies which have been involved in the investment trust's activities, SEC Counsel David Schenker drew from Mr. Rockefeller's son-in-law the story of how he got into Equity Corp. For $41,000 cash and 19,000 shares of an inactive insurance stock, Mr. Milton and Ellery Huntington Jr. eventually acquired control of Equity, which managed companies with assets of $218,000,000. Mr. Milton's cash stake was $13,000. First he and his associate bought control of Consolidated Funds Corp., an investment trust which controlled Oceanic Insurance Co., which owned a quarter of Equity Corp. Then Underwriters Equities, a trust controlled by Mr. Milton, sold $900,000 worth of insurance stocks to a company managed by Equity, and the proceeds were used to buy control of Equity. Thus, a $13,000 cash buy into Consolidated Funds plus Equity's own money put Mr. Milton into Equity. Said Lawyer Schenker: ''[it's] a Van Sweringen operation in the investment trust field." After detailing various operations of Equity Corp., Mr. Schenker drew from Mr. Milton testimony about the formation of Merton Shares, a Canadian corporation, asked him why he had gone to Canada to insure success in a U. S. transaction. Apologized Mr. Milton: "I don't know, it could perhaps have been done some other way. It was a continual headache." ---------- (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 17, 1936.—David M. Milton, president of the Equity Corporation and son-in-law of John D. Rockefeller Jr., told the Securities Commission today he obtained control of companies having resources of $218,000,000, with $13,000 in cash and 6,300 shares of an inactive insurance company. Milton testified the cash and the stock—shares of the American Colony Insurance Company—were used to acquire control of Consolidated Funds of New York, an investment trust holding Insurance stocks. Consolidated Funds, in turn controlled the Oceanic Insurance Company which had a one-quarter interest in Equity Corporation which controlled a majority of the 43 companies which now make up the Equity group structure. Milton testified at the commission's general hearing on investment trusts. ---------

From that point you seemed to digress without stating to whom you were referring. How does Olmsted and the others examined fit into this topic about Train, Cabot?

Can you find anything about who these real people were and what they were doing? What I'm assuming is that John Train handled their accounts at his investment company, which was given the code name WUSALINE by the CIA. It was this proprietary company for which WUBRINY was an asset. Question is how George de Mohrenschildt and Lee Harvey Oswald fit into that scheme. http://www.joanmellen.net/truth.html http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...amp;relPageId=3 Report written by C. Frank Stone III about a meeting between his contact, WUBRINY/1 and George DeMohrenschildt at the WUSALINE office (Train, Cabot). This is discussed by Russ Baker beginning on page 103 of Family of Secrets. On page 106 he indicates WUSALINE was Train, Cabot, and that WUBRINY/1 was Devine. A few days later these men met with Col. Howard Burris "military adviser to Vice President Lyndon Johnson, with the prospect of meeting LBJ himself." The footnote following that sentence (fn 47) appears at page 510 and states: "When George de Mohrenschildt came to Washington, he was accompanied by his wife Jeanne. LBJ's private secretary at the time of their visit was Marie Fehmer. According to Marie Fehmer's oral history, she was recruited to be Vice President Johnson's secretary in 1962, directly from her college sorority. She claimed not to have known him, to be surprised by the offer, and to be somewhat reluctant to accept it (see Marie Fehmer oral history interview, August 16, 1972, LBJ Library and Museum, Austin, Texas). But she was not unconnected herself. Her father, Ray, worked for D. Harold Byrd's military contracting firm LTV. And her mother, Olga, worked at Nardis Sportswear with Jeanne de Mohrenschildt and Abraham Zapruder. After working for LBJ, Marie Fehmer joined the CIA, where she became one of the top female supervisors; see William Marvin Watson with Sherwin Markman, Chief of Staff: Lyndon Johnson and His Presidency...p. 39."

I just found something in Ancestry.com about the first husband of the woman Rodney married and the father of her two children--or at least the father of that husband, Glenn Frederick Richardson.

http://books.google.com/books?id=_9sImYb5e...lt&resnum=2 Nazi plunder By Kenneth D. Alford ---------------- http://www.spiritone.com/~gdy52150/goldp11.html One of Goring’s field Marshall batons was taken by General [boris] Patch. Upon his death it was placed in the West Point Military Museum. Lieutenant Eckberg took Goring’s second baton along with other items and mailed them to his mother in Chicago. Eckberg remained in Germany. His mother sold a gold medallion to a jeweler, who then placed an ad. The US Customs read the ad and recovered the medallion, the baton, and the other items the lieutenant had mailed home. Many other personal items were pillaged by soldiers, such as Goring’s dagger and sword. However, Lieutenant Colonel Willard White was probably the most prolific looter at the Berchtesgaden. He helped himself to a large collection of Hitler’s silverware and crystal items, mailing them home to his wife, the sister of Ladybird [sic] Johnson.91 ========== http://www.geneseo.edu/~leary/1269thECB/history.html The battalion was activated at Camp Chaffee, AR on 30 March 1944. A senior cadre was organized under the command of Major Willard White, and in April a core unit of 18-year-old ASTP volunteers and Army Air Corps trainees arrived for five months of engineer basic training. Many of that group were promoted to round out NCO cadre vacancies, after which replacements were brought in to fill the unit to T/O strength. The battalion moved by train to Camp Kilmer, NJ, arriving 18 Oct. 1944. The battalion sailed unescorted from New York harbor aboard a converted luxury liner, the SS Mariposa, on 27 October, docking in Marseille, France on 6 Nov. 1944, after passing through a great storm. The unit marched to CP 2, a Mistral-buffeted, miserably cold staging area near Aix-en-Provence, spending three weeks in advanced training, demolitions mostly, (in which one trainee was killed) while waiting for equipment and vehicles. The battalion was now part of the U.S. Seventh Army....The 1269th was now functioning as combat arm of the Alsos Mission, the Military Intelligence assault force, commanded by Colonel Boris Pash, which was directed against the Nazi atomic weaponry program. In the final rush to seize the German atomic research center at Haigerloch, Alsos and the 1269th ECB, less Company B, crossed through the French First Army's spearhead column (which was moving on Sigmaringen and Stuttgart, contrary to Sixth Army Group command.) On 22 April at Haigerloch, and for six days thereafter in the towns of Hechingen, Bisingen, Tailfingen, and Thanheim, the 1269th ECB participated in taking atomic scientists into custody, seizing laboratory records and equipment, and securing uranium, heavy water, and other items and materials important to the U.S./British Manhattan Project. Leaving the Alsos Mission on 28 April, the battalion became one of the first combat units to enter Munich, advancing with Company C, 30th Reg't., of the 3rd Infantry Division. Elements of the battalion were among the first troops to come upon the concentration camp at Dachau. ...

Mrs. Birge Davis (Lucia Johnson) Alexander Address: 2508 Jarratt Av, Austin, Texas 78703-0801 (1993) Her husband was Birge Davis Alexander, born in 1912 in Minnesota. His father was Kay Lambert Alexander, Jr. who was a civil engineer doing road paving (like Herman Brown) living in Uvalde in 1930, but in 1920 Birge and his siblings lived with Kay's unmarried sister Donna Alexander while their father was working as a painter in Oklahoma. He died in Travis County (Austin) in 1989. Birge's aunt Donna Alexander was born in Kentucky in 1879. In 1900, however, she lived in Travis County, Texas where her father was a surgeon. Her mother was Mary E. Alexander, born in Kentucky in 1853. She had a younger sister named Lillian/Lillie, whose married name was Law and who also lived with the family. They lived in the same precinct and district (south of Riverside between Lamar and S. Congress) in 1900 as the family of Polk Shelton: John E. Shelton, a lawyer in 1900, would likely have been in the same social group with Dr. Alexander's family, the grandfather of the man Lucia Johnson married in 1933. Polk Shelton was born in October 1900; possibly Dr. Alexander, a surgeon in the area at the time, delivered him. The Sheltons lived many years west of S. Congress on Live Oak Street just north of W. Oltorf. In 1930 Polk was married to Nellie and living at 2107 Newton in the same precinct. The Sheltons are mentioned in Robert Caro's biography. ----------------- Fitchburg Sentinel June 27, 1967 Navy Nephew AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) - Rodney White, a nephew of President Johnson, has joined the Navy Reserve for a six-year enlistment. White, 19, is the son of the late Col. and Mrs. Willard White, according to the Austin Naval Reserve Training Center which made the announcement Monday. His mother was the former Josefa Johnson, the President's sister, the Navy records showed. He will serve on active duty for two years after a year of intensive training at the center. ------------ By Garth Jones, Associated Press writer, Sept. 29, 1967 AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) — President Lyndon B. Johnson's side of the family has a predominant family trait: They let him do the talking, all of it Despite the millions of word printed and broadcast about the President, many persons do not know that he has two sisters and a brother. Most of those who do, know very little more than that. "It's nobody else's business what the President's family does," said an Austin spokesman for the President when asked merely where a kinsman of Johnson now lives. A close relative said Johnson's sisters and his brother feel that the President is the newsmaker and they should stay out of the picture. Most queries to the White House staff about details of the LBJ family are answered with: "That is considered a private family matter." Johnson's parents, Sam Ealy Johnson Jr. and Miss Rebekah Baines, were married Aug. 20, 1907, at Fredericksburg in west central Texas. They set up housekeeping in a small house on the north bank of the Pedernales River near Stonewall, about 16 miles east of Fredericksburg. The first of their five children Lyndon Barnes Johnson, was born there Aug. 27, 1908. The others, in order of birth, were Rebekah, now Mrs. Oscar Bobbitt of Austin; Josefa, who died in 1962 as Mrs. James B. Moss of Fredericksburg; Sam Houston Johnson of Austin, and Lucia, now Mrs. Birge Davis Alexander of Memphis, Tenn. The President's father died in 1937, his mother in 1958. The remaining members of the President's family shy away from publicity. In a rare interview last year in Columbia, S.C., Mrs. Bobbitt remarked: "Everywhere I've gone, I've had the problem of being Lyndon's sister. Since he's gotten to be President, I've given up—it's bigger than both of us." Mrs. Bobbitt does not see much of her famous brother. There usually are a couple of visits to the White House each year and a family reunion and Christmas at the ranch, Mrs. Bobbitt's husband is senior vice president of KTBC Television in Austin, which is owned by the Lyndon B. Johnson family interests, and also is radio station manager and general sales manager. He has been with KTBC since 1950. The Bobbitts own a large hilltop house in one of Austin's most expensive neighborhoods and are (prominent in civic and social affairs. The Bobbitts' 19-year-old son, Phillip, attended Princeton University but left to join Volunteers in Service to America—VISTA. He was severely beaten by a gang of youths soon after being assigned to a VISTA job in Venice, Calif., earlier this year and returned to Austin for medical treatment. Phillip refused to discuss the attack in detail and went back to Venice as soon as his doctor allowed. Mrs. Alexander's husband is area manager for the Federal Aviation Agency in Memphis. Memphis reporters say they can't even obtain Mrs. Alexander's telephone number. Newsmen were told by Alexander that his wife "guards her privacy and refuses under any circumstances to discuss her brother, other members of her family, their private life or such that might be published." The President's only brother calls Austin home; but residents seldom see or hear of him. One published account says he received a law degree from Cumberland University at Lebanon, Tenn., but never practiced law. He became a member of his brother's congressional staff in 1937. About 1958, Sam Houston Johnson suffered a fractured hip in a fall. The injury resulted in a physical disability and led to his retirement. Newspaper files show the brother was divorced in 1963 from Mary M. Johnson, whom he had married at Vera Cruz, Mexico, in 1955. They had been separated since 1960. There were no children. Sam Houston Johnson lived with the Bobbitts for several years after 1960. The Austin spokesman for the President said recently that he "just couldn't say" if the brother still lived with the Bobbitts. In 1964, he was reported to be in a hospital at Myrtle Beach, S.C., suffering from pneumonia and a kidney infection. ------- A Sept. 26, 1958 story which appeared in the San Antonio Express concerned the son of Samuel Houston Johnson (born in Austin on 10-9-1942) from an earlier marriage. His mother had divorced Sam Houston Johnson after their separation during WWII and changed the boy's name from Samuel Summers Johnson to Creighton Summers George when he was legally adopted by his stepfather. His mother was Albertine Summers, who had been a congressional secretary. They also had an older daughter named Josefa Roxanne. According to this article, the daughter had been named in honor of Sam Houston Johnson's sister, "now Mrs. James B. Moss, wife of a Fredericksburg, Tex. minister." The story also states that Sam's new wife is the former Mary Michelson of Austin and San Antonio. The boy had learned of his real father and had come to Washington, D.C. to visit--staying in the Potomac Plaza Apts. with them. -------- Rebekah Luruth Johnson Marriage to Oscar Price Bobbit, Jr. Monterey, Mexico --1941 10 May at Age: 30

Good work, Tom, but I doubt anyone who hasn't already followed these threads will not appreciate it because of your lack of writing a summary of what it all means. What it means to me is that all intelligence operations in America are controlled by wealth, which is centered within the banking establishment. Olmsted is a character I discovered several years ago at the end of several trails of research. One trail had to do with Financial General Bancshares, which had constructed its headquarters in Washington, D.C. in the same building which later housed the offices of the Mullen Company, which seemed to be a pivot for hiring recently retired agents (whether FBI or CIA--like James McCord and E. Howard Hunt--for the Watergate caper), if I recall correctly. The research developed from checking into the address of that building, which had originally been built by Olmsted's bank. Olmsted had been the person many decades earlier who had charge of the insurance fund for veterans. I followed one trail along that line, remembering that David Atlee Phillips had created an organization to lobby for former intelligence agents. I tried to figure out who invests the pension funds of these intelligence agents, who uses those funds to invest as venture capital and then hires former intelligence operators to protect that investment. It all seemed to fit.

I'm not sure who Francis was, but Prescott's grandfather's name was JAMES Smith Bush.

Her son's name was Rodney Baines White but was sometimes called Moss after Josefa and Willard White divorced and she was remarried to Jim Moss of Fredericksburg, Texas. It was sometimes stated that Rodney was adopted by Josefa, that he was actually the natural son of Sam Houston Johnson. All I can find is that he was supposedly born in Biloxi, Miss. between the years she married White and Moss. Very little is know about LBJ's younger brother Sam Houston, though it has been reported that he was in O.S.S. during WWII.

John, At the time of Josefa's death, wasn't she married to James Moss? Moss I believe had a curious ability to know where to drill for oil. James She was but they did not marry until 1955. What can you tell me about Moss? http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKjohnsonJ.htm Not a lot unfortunately. I remember reading about this almost psychic ability Moss allegedly possessed to know where oil was untapped. I believe it was in a column (Tolbert's Texas) written by Frank Tolbert. James Josefa married in 1943. Her husband was Willard White, who had been an engineer in Victoria, Texas before she married him. He was already married when he lived there to a woman named Edith Mae Rowe. They had a daughter named Beverly White, who later married someone named Conditt. Beverly Conditt was mentioned in a book by socialistic anthropologist Leslie A. White as his niece. Victoria, Texas is in South Texas and was the small town in which one of Brown & Root's subsidiaries was located--Victoria Gravel--the entity through which much of the illegal campaign funds were transferred to LBJ by the Brown family corporation that later was sold to Halliburton. Willard White's father was also an engineer, who raised his family without their mother, according to the biography of Leslie White. Much rumor and innuendo has been tossed around about Josefa's wild and woolly shenanigans as a drunk or prostitute at Miss Hattie's Place in south Austin. It was a favored hangout for Texas legislators when the lawmakers were in biannual session, but Miss Hattie also had a place in Cuero, not far from Victoria. If Josefa worked for her, it's possible it would have been there rather than in Austin, and she may have met Willard at that locale. Both places were eventually destroyed by fire and Hattie died, leaving a fortune to a daughter who was a nun. As for Josefa, she did live for a time in Austin one street north of where her sister, Mrs. Birge Alexander, lived. Birge was regional head of the Civil Aeronautics Board based in Fort Worth before he retired to Austin. In 1945 a San Antonio newspaper (rival of one for which a Johnson relative, George W. Baines, worked) mentioned that Josefa had given a dinner party featuring linens and silver that had been looted from Adolph Hitler's castle in Berchtesgaden, Germany. The article has been uploaded to another thread in the forum relating to Boris Pash, who was Col. Willard White's commanding officer in the 1269th Combat Engineers, which was the fighting unit involved in the Alsos Mission to capture German uranium and other materials related to the atomic bomb.

Another newspaper article about Josefa Johnson (Mrs. Willard) White appeared in 1943, shortly after she married and was living in Camp Shelby, Mississippi. There is insufficient space to upload it.

Bill, I thought you might be interested in knowing that Lyndon Johnson's sister, Josefa, who died mysteriously after attending a family Christmas party with the Johnson family in 1961, was married in 1943 to a man named Col. Willard White, brother of a sociologist named Leslie A. White. Willard was the second in command to Boris Pash in the Alsos Mission in Germany. http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/w/h/wha3/1269/history.html (note: see photos at this url to see their involvement in looting Nazi gold and treasures) http://www.geneseo.edu/~leary/1269thECB/history.html Book: Ports of Call By Cecil L. Milliner http://books.google.com/books?id=Ge992z8fd...lt&resnum=3 http://sneakers.pair.com/roots/b164.htm Another newspaper article about Josefa Johnson (Mrs. Willard) White appeared in 1943, shortly after she married and was living in Camp Shelby, Mississippi. There is insufficient space to upload it.

Or have you heard of Pash's subordinate, Col. Willard White, who was married to LBJ's sister Josefa for a number of years?

You can't understand who the DeMenils were without understanding who Jesse Jones was. Dominique Schlumberger deMenil became part of Jesse Jones' artsy clique in Houston just after Jones and FDR parted ways because of FDR's favoring of Henry A. Wallace, whom many accused of being a communist. The Menil Foundation is a heavy presence in Houston "culture" today, alongside the name of Jesse's step-granddaughter Audrey Jones Beck and the names of family members of the original Humble Oil Company, of which Jones was initially a director when it was founded in 1917. It was that same year Jesse was recruited through the influence of Col. House, who was running intelligence operations for Woodrow Wilson, and placed in the Red Cross, alongside Morgan banker Henry P. Davison: "During the War, President Wilson called upon him to become Chairman of the Red Cross War Council, where he displayed his financial abilities by raising more than $100,000,000 in one campaign. The world of finance generally agrees that at the time of his death in June, 1922, H. P. Davison was the ablest partner in the Morgan firm. " (See http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/...0818-2,00.html) Together they worked to set up the funding mechanism for the highly secretive civilian intelligence service that in 1939 became the OSS. Jones' role in setting up the financing network for U.S. intelligence operations has never been fully appreciated because it is so secret and so off-the-books that there is no direct evidence about it. But circumstantial evidence of its existence abounds. http://www.houstonendowment.org/aboutus/Audrey4.htm [photo] Jack S. Blanton and Audrey Jones Beck breaking ground for the Audrey Jones Beck Building at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston - 1997 Today, the John A. and Audrey Jones Beck Collection hangs in the Audrey Jones Beck Building at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), and includes some of the finest paintings by the great artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. According to “Art News,” Mrs. Beck was among the world’s most important art collectors. Through John and Audrey Beck’s vision, effort and generosity, Houstonians are privileged to have these priceless paintings in their hometown. In addition to her position as a lifetime trustee of the MFAH, Mrs. Beck also was a founding trustee of the Houston Grand Opera and the Houston Ballet, and served as a Houston Symphony Society trustee. Mrs. Beck served on Houston Endowment's board of directors, where, until her death on August 22, 2003, she helped guide her grandparents' legacy for 42 years. http://www.houstonendowment.org/aboutus/Audrey3.htm After Audrey graduated from The Kinkaid School in 1939, she enrolled at Mount Vernon College near Washington, D.C., and spent many evenings and weekends with her grandparents at their Shoreham Hotel apartment and sometimes at the White House when her grandparents visited the Roosevelts. In 1940, Audrey transferred to The University of Texas and one year later met Ensign John Beck at Corpus Christi’s Naval Air Base during the opening of the Officers’ Club. Eight months later, they had the first military wedding at Christ Church Cathedral in Houston. As a war bride, Mrs. Beck followed her husband from assignment to assignment, and once he was released from service, the couple made their home in Houston. Mr. Beck developed a booming business selling and leasing heavy construction equipment, and Mrs. Beck began studying and collecting Impressionist and Post-impressionist art. In the most recent catalogue of her collection, Mrs. Beck wrote, “My romance with Impressionism began when I first visited Europe at the age of 16 as a student tourist, complete with camera to record my trip. I paid homage to the ‘Mona Lisa’ and the ‘Venus de Milo,’ but the imaginative and colorful Impressionist paintings came as a total surprise. Works by these avant-garde artists, who had rebelled against the academic tradition of the day, were scarce in American museums at the time. For me, they were not only the epitome of artistic freedom, but a visual delight. I returned home with many pictures, but none taken with the camera. My images were museum reproductions.” http://www.houstonendowment.org/aboutus/Audrey1.htm Audrey Jones Beck was born on March 27, 1922, in Houston, Texas, to Audrey and [Martin] Tilford Jones, Mrs. Jones’s son from her first marriage. [Note: M.T. Jones, Jesse's uncle, had a son named William E. Jones, who left Houston in about 1920 and moved to San Diego. Will and his wife secretly divorced, and she claimed to be a widow, but Jesse was always in contact with his cousin, even after he married Will's former wife.] However, Jesse Jones was the only grandfather Audrey ever knew, and her grandparents treated her more like a daughter than a grandchild....She spent as much time with the Joneses as she did with her parents and had her own room in her grandparents’ Lamar Hotel penthouse on Main Street, in the heart of downtown Houston, where she grew up. [photo]Audrey Jones (Beck) with her mother, Audrey Thompson Jones It took a while to persuade her husband of their beauty and value. She married John Beck, a financier and owner of Boehck Engineering, in 1942. [Note: Her husband's real name was Boehck, but he must have changed it secretly after he married Audrey because he was from a German-American family.] As she tells her story in the catalog of her collection, "I told John of my dream to collect a representative group of Impressionist works for Houston. He thought his wife had gone quite mad." Dealers from Europe and New York visited Houston periodically in the 1950s and 1960s, bringing works for the consideration of collectors such as Beck, Sarah Campbell Blaffer and Caroline Wiess Law. [Two names in bold were daughters of two of the founders of Humble Oil (later Exxon)] Beck hosted soirées to display the paintings, photographing them and noting their prices. When her husband, "a strict businessman," saw how greatly the pictures appreciated in value, he exclaimed that they were doing better than his investments in the stock market. Thereafter both Becks engaged in the research and acquisition of art. "We made a great team," she says. The Becks were deeply engaged in the city's cultural growth. They opened their home and growing collection to students. Both served as trustees of the Houston Endowment, the philanthropic organization established by her grandfather, which contributed $20 million to the Beck Building's capital campaign; Audrey Jones Beck still does. She was a founding trustee of the Houston Grand Opera and the Houston Ballet and is a lifetime trustee of the MFA. John Beck served on the museum's board as well, and together they established a fund to help it acquire Impressionist art. [Jesse Jones' brother's son,] John Tilford Jones Jr. was born Dec. 2, 1917, in Dallas, the only son of John Tilford and Margaret Wilson Jones. When he was a child, the family moved to Houston, where he attended Montrose Elementary and Lanier Junior High and graduated from San Jacinto High School in the class of 1935. He also attended New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, and upon graduation was commissioned a second lieutenant in the cavalry. He later attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he met his future wife, Winifred Ann Small, the daughter of state Sen. Clint Small of Wellington in the Panhandle. They married in 1945 and moved to Pasadena. In 1941, Jones joined the 1st Armored Division. After serving in Northern Ireland and England, Jones was captured by the Germans in North Africa in 1943 as the Battle of Kasserine Pass was beginning. He was sent to the Szubin prison camp in Poland. On Jan. 21, 1945, Jones and 1,400 other American prisoners were marched through freezing weather from Szubin to Luckenwalde, a prison south of Berlin. After walking for 16 days, he finished the final five days of the journey in a crowded boxcar. Jones was liberated in May 1945 along with Amon Carter Jr., son of the publisher of the Fort Worth Star- Telegram, a fellow prisoner of war. The flamboyant elder Carter, then credentialed as a war correspondent in Europe, used his influence to have his son and Jones flown to Paris. They arrived in time to join the celebration there of the Allied victory over the Nazis — one of Jones' most cherished memories. Jones later helped organize and headed the Texas Prisoners of War Association. As a prisoner of war, he said, "I made some of the best friends of my life. There is a common bond that holds us together." After the war, Jones returned to the Chronicle, where he had held summer jobs during his high school and college days. Starting as a route man in the circulation department, he worked in the paper's major departments with an emphasis on editorial and retail advertising. Jones worked in the city room and served in the paper's Austin and Washington bureaus. "I made myself familiar with the Jones enterprises by the time-honored practice of listening a lot, sticking my nose into things and asking a few questions," Jones said. In 1948, he became assistant to the president and two years later, he became president. When his uncle died in 1956, he became publisher. Over a three-year period starting in 1960, Jones was one of the key figures in the dismantling of Jim Crow laws in Houston. He and other influential city players forced the opening of area businesses to blacks and kept it out of the news to minimize the possibility of segregationist reprisals. Jones basically strong-armed downtown hotel operators into integrating, telling them the Houston Endowment wouldn't renew their leases otherwise. Jones and his wife were among the last Houstonians to say goodbye to President John F. Kennedy . On the night of Nov. 21, 1963, after a dinner in Houston honoring longtime local congressman Albert Thomas, the Joneses accompanied the Kennedys to the airport, where the first lady gave Mrs. Jones a tour of Air Force One. The next day, Kennedy was assassinated. As head of the Houston Endowment, Jones also was a prime mover in initiating the plan to build the Jesse H. Jones Hall for the Performing Arts, a gift from the Endowment. Construction began in 1964, and the hall opened in 1966. Soon after it opened, Jones founded the Society for the Performing Arts, a nonprofit organization to bring musical artists and other attractions to Houston. Jones, president of KRTK-TV Channel 13 from its inception in 1954 until its sale in 1967, also was a director of the Houston Symphony Society and the Alley Theater. As publisher, Jones dramatically changed the paper — and his own future — with one move. Overtaken by the rival Houston Post in circulation, Jones brought in an editor from outside — William P. Steven from the Minneapolis Tribune — who fast changed the paper's approach from conservative to moderately liberal. The conservative members of the Houston Endowment were not pleased. Jones tried to defend his editor but finally got his orders: Fire Steven or face dismissal himself. In September 1965, Jones did so but resigned the following January to head the Rusk Corp., operators of KRTH radio and other properties. Jones died in 1994, at 76, of prostate cancer.

Why don't we also consider that Texans have long had an interest in their neighbors in Central and South America, where they were involved in mining and oil drilling even before the CIA was set up. Keep in mind that Col. House was from Texas and put his friends, relatives and business associates in high positions in the Woodrow Wilson administration, while reserving foreign policy for himself, unofficially (secretly) of course. In those days just before and during WWI, House was working with British Intelligence's Sir William Wiseman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_G._E._Wiseman House lived until 1938, secretly engineering the political rise of FDR, whose mother introduced the two men. House and Sara Delano Roosevelt had been good friends for many years. It was during Wilson's administration that the Dulles boys' uncle, Robert Lansing, was groomed in the State Dept, and that he brought his nephews into intelligence operations, again prior to the existence of the OSS or the CIA, but in cooperation with the British. Back then U.S. intelligence was done through military G-2, ONI and a combination of FBI and Consular Service under the Dept. of State. It should be remembered in this regard that House had Wilson appoint as his secretary of agriculture a man named David F. Houston whose son Lawrence Houston, grew up in Washington, D.C., became an attorney and then the general counsel to the CIA for many, many years. He knew where all the bodies were buried, as did many of the military men stationed in San Antonio at Fort Sam Houston. It was to San Antonio where the Shah of Iran was brought when death was imminent. And it was a son of Col. Howard Burris who had become so close to the Shah's family that he married his niece. This is the branch of intelligence that was run by Kim Roosevelt, working with the British to get rid of Mossadegh in 1973 in order to protect primarily the British interest in the old Anglo-Persian oil fields of Iran.
