Don't know much about Kaminsky, sorry. Can anyone else address this question?
Bill,
I meant to ask B.A. what list he was referring to.

Paul,
Someone who is in a position to know has told me that the Heads of 90% of MID's were Colonels.
They were very "staff heavy", with very few support staff like clerks and such. Some did have Top Sergeants, or Sergeant Majors.

I'm pretty sure it's a different William Westbrook, since the Captain who was the Head of DPD's Personnel Bureau was named William R, but the coincidence is spooky.

Thanks for the ACSI Colonels article. I think the most cogent section is this:
"The headquarters of the Special Services unit was not at City Hall, but at the Dallas Fair Grounds, where Crichton’s underground Emergency Command and Communications bunker was also located. Pat Gannaway, the head of the unit, was also a Army Reserve officer, as were most of his men.
In that vein...
Take a look at this write-up of the Dallas Civil Defense Emergency Operations Center in Fair Park? It was linked to national, state and local authorities.
Chief Pat Gannaway's Special Service Division was based in Fair Park, and also linked to these same authorities.Bill,
Look who's names are on this Emergency Operating Center 1961 dedication. I learned just the other day that both John Mayo and Boise Smith were also Colonels in the U.S. Army Reserves:
See this statement by Mayo decrying the artists being displayed at the Art Museum
"In March of 1955, Col. John W. Mayo, commander of the Dallas Metropolitan Post No. 581 of the American Legion, sent a communication to the Trustees of the Art Museum decrying many of the Museum’s policies and saying that the Post objected ‘to the Museum patronizing and supporting artists … whose political beliefs are dedicated to destroying our way of life."
In this same website, it says, " An online exhibit by the Dallas City Hall provides the following historical summary of WRR, the station-of-choice for Dallas-Fort Worth highbrows since 1964, when it switched to an all classical format. Until the departments had their own internal support, WRR supplied and maintained all radio equipment for Police, Fire, Park and Recreation, Water, Public Works, and the former Health Department. At its peak it furnished dispatching services for Dallas County, Cockrell Hill Police Department, and private ambulance services (in the days before 911). WRR discontinued these adjunct services in 1969."
Then, there is this:
Stringfellow and Biggio were working the police radio at the Fairgrounds on 11/22/63
“Army Apparently didn't tell Commission of Oswald's Alias”
Dallas Morning News March 19, 1978
in the Weisberg Collection
“However, (Bill) Biggio, who was directing police intelligence communications at the Fair Park office the day of the assassination...,” Former Dallas police Capt. W. P. Gannaway, who commanded the special service bureau in which Biggio worked, said if Army intelligence in San Antonio or Dallas "had any information pertaining to Oswald, we didn't know about it." “Don Stringfellow, a fellow police intelligence officer working with Biggio at the Fair Park office, was named as the source of information in a secret cable the night of Nov. 22 from Army intelligence in Texas to the U.S. Strike Command at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida. The cable said that information "obtained from Oswald revealed that he had defected to Cuba in 1959 and is a card-carrying member of the Communist Party." THIS CABLE, containing false information, was sent to an Army-Air Force operation set up three years earlier to provide a quick-reacting strike force in case of enemy attack. “

Jack Ruby's dinner partner - Lawrence Meyers - on either 11/21 or 11/23...Meyers had a son, Ralph, who studied at the Army Language School in Monterey around 1958 (the same time LHO might have been there). & Ralph went on to serve in the Army Security Agency (ASA). Coincidence?
Bill,
So did Dennis Ofstein, who worked with LHO at Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall:
DENNIS HYMAN OFSTEIN
http://jfkassassination.net/russ/testimony/ofstein.htm
Mr. OFSTEIN. I was in the Army, sir.
Mr. JENNER And when did you go in and when were you discharged?
Mr. OFSTEIN. I went in in August, I believe, in 1957, and I was discharged November 1960.Mr. JENNER Did you take any work in the language school out in California at Monterey?
Mr. OFSTEIN. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. What language did you study there?
Mr. OFSTEIN. Russian.
Mr. JENNER Tell me how that came about?
Mr. OFSTEIN Well, when I went in the service I was interested in radio--I was a disc jockey at the time, and the closest thing my recruiting sergeant said that I could get to radio would be possibly with the Army security agency, so I signed up, and after basic training I went to Fort Devens, Mass., and was held there on a temporary status while the agency determined what type training I should have, and I was given a language ability test and passed that and had a choice of three languages to take, and Russian was my first choice and I was sent to Monterey to study.Steve Thomas

I think it is completely fascinating. With Lumpkin presenting LHO’s boss RoyTruly to Fritz as the first instance of suspicion that Oswald was involved in JFK’s death...combined with Gannaway falsely claiming there was “a roll call” of the employees in the minutes after the shooting...that puts Army Intelligence chiefs at the center of the frame-up of Oswald.
Bill,
Memorandum by SS Agent Roger Warner and Elmer Moore dated 12/1/63
These became the SS copy of the Dispatch Tapes found in CD 87 beginning on page 636 and running to page 644.
Page 5.
“On November 29, 1963, SA Warner conferred with Chief Lumpkin, Police Department, relative to reports of Police dispatches covering the arrival of President Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, the subsequent assassination and removal of President Kennedy to Parkland Memorial Hospital. These broadcasts were transmitted on Channel 2 which was an auxiliary channel used by the Police for special occasions. Also Chief Lumpkin provided for transcription on our tape the Police recordings of Channel# 1, the standard Police band which on the date of the Presidential assassination contained the Police broadcasts relative to the capture of Lee Harvey Oswald and the shooting of Police Officer Tippit.”
Someone who is better at this than I am would know if key dispatches were left out of this set of transcripts. Didn't the WC judge them to be "inadequate", and demanded better copies?

And man, its really something that Campbell was not deposed. Its really hard to think such a thing occurred.
Jim,
I don't know about being deposed, but James Leavelle did take a statement from Campbell on February 17, 1964.
(A lot of good that would do)
You can read it at the DPD Archives Box 3, Folder# 19, Item# 4 http://jfk.ci.dallas.tx.us/box3.htm
In his statement, he said, "I did not know Oswald."
Oswald could hardly have said to Harry Homes, "...his boss stated he is one of our employees.", if he was talking about Campbell.
PS: Campbell told Leavelle he thought the shots came from the grassy knoll.

Thanks Steve. I take your point about Kaminsky. So Jarman was wrong when he said it was the same police officer who stopped him and Oswald. Jarman was stopped by Barnett and Oswald possibly by Kaminsky. Although I note that Holmes doesn't mention that Truly was identifying employees so that part at least doesn't gell.
Vanessa,
I think he did.
If, during his interrogation, Oswald said, "his boss" was the person identifying those being stopped as being "one of our employees", who else but Truly, could Oswald have been referring to?
And, Oswald could not have known that there was a policeman stationed at the front door taking names unless he was there to witness that happening firsthand.
My question has always been: if Lumpkin didn't arrive back at the TSBD from Parkland Hospital until at least until the few minutes before 12:49 in time to plaace Kaminsky at the front door; if Oswald was the shooter; it's not why Oswald left the TSBD so quickly, but why did he wait around at the scene of the crime for so long?
In my mind,
1) Oswald did not leave the TSBD immediately after the shooting; and
2) He was not the only employee missing; and
3) Truly totally failed to mention his actions at the front door when he testified to the Warren Commission.

Thanks Sandy,
I agree that's the crux of the issue. A key issue here is the 'policeman' involved. The policeman who stopped Jarman was Officer Barnett. I don't think any of this behaviour describes anything Officer Baker says he did that day. Baker heard the shots and ran straight into the building. Officer Barnett didn't even go into the building.
Vanessa,
I personally believe that the policeman who stopped Oswald at the front door was Lieutenant Erich Kaminsky.
After the assassination, George Lumpkin returned to the TSBD and took command there.
DPD Archives Box 14, Folder# 4, Item# 10 page 22.
It was Kaminsky who Deputy Chief Lumpkin had positioned at the front door of the TSBD.
http://jfk.ci.dallas.tx.us/box14.htm
This matches exactly what Postal Inspector, Harry Holmes wrote in his Report of Oswald's interrogation on Sunday, November 24th.
See Warren Report, Appendix XI page 636
https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=946#relPageId=660&tab=page
According to the Dispatch Tapes, George Lumpkin had arrived at the TSBD by 12:49 PM
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/dpdtapes/
15 (Captain C.E. Talbert): “15 is at the scene. We... the building's the Old Purse Company on the east side of Houston. Somebody cut off the back side, will you? Make sure nobody leaves there.”
Dispatcher: “10-4, 15”
15: “15's in charge down here. Correction 5's (Deputy Chief Lumpkin) in charge.”
(It appears that Talbert had the wrong building in mind).
DPD Archives, Box 2, Folder# 7, Item# 28
http://jfk.ci.dallas.tx.us/box2.htm
Memo from K.E. Lyon to Chief Curry dated December 4, 1963. Lyon was a Patrolman on TDY assignment to the Vice Section of the Special Service Bureau. However, Lyon is not listed in the patrolmen assigned to the Special Service Bureau in Batchelor's Exhibit 5002 - https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh19/pdf/WH19_Batchelor_Ex_5002.pdf
“On November 22, 1963 at approximately 2:00 PM, Detective B.K. Carroll and I were instructed by Lieutenant E. Kaminsky to go to the Oak Cliff area where Officer J.D. Tippit had been shot.”
K.E. Lyon was in the squad car bringing Oswald back to the station from the Theater. Lyon is listed as one of the arresting officers on Oswald's Arrest Report.
He's a little off on his time. By 2:00 PM, Oswald had already been arrested and brought back to the station.
DPD Archives, Box 3, Folder# 2, Item# 52
http://jfk.ci.dallas.tx.us/box4.htm
Bob K. Carroll was a Detective in the Administrative Section of the Special Service Bureau. In a signed memo to Chief Curry, he wrote: “At approximately 2:00PM this date the undersigned officer were (sic) enroute to the vicinity of the 300 block of West Jefferson to aid in the search of the killer of Officer J.D. Tippit.” (Though the memo is undated, he writes “this date”, so it must have been written on the 22nd.)
Lyon makes the same mistake on time in his memo of December 4th as Carroll did in his memo of November 22nd. They also both spell Gerald Hill's name as “Jerry” Hill.
So, by 2:00PM, Kaminsky has left the TSBD where Lumpkin had stationed him at the front door collecting names, and had returned to Headquarters where he was able to instruct Carroll and Lyon to proceed to Oak Cliff.

Bill,
On pages 5-6, Rodriguez lists the officers of the Dallas Chapter of Alpha 66/SNFE. I know the FBI interviewed several of them in 1964; most notably in my mind, Raul Castro and Juan Francisco Quintana Maya.
Bill,
Along those lines...
http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?docId=11481&relPageId=215
see page 6
Wallace Heitman and W. James Wood interviewed Raoul Castro on May 14, 1964. Their Report is dated May 22, 1964. Castro told them that he had entered Aviation Cadet School in Cuba in June, 1959, where he met Juan Francisco Quintana Maya. They were sent to Mexico, where they spent seven months. They returned to Cuba in May, 1960, spent twenty days there, and were sent back to Mexico for “link training, and to finish their course in crop dusting”. ( I don't know what “link training” is). Castro told them that it was obvious that the training they were receiving was military in nature.
In my mind, that's the kind of thing an FBI informant would be relaying to the FBI.

Steve, do you know anything about Enrique Varona? He appears to be a Dallas resident - no reason to believe he is a relation to Tony Varona. But what groups was he with, that kind of thing? I am also wondering about my ID of Manuel Rodriguez Orcarberro as probably DL 282-S, if you have any thoughts on that. I would love to button it down, but I can't quite do it.
Bill,
Sorry, I don't remember anything about Enrique Varona at the moment.
I'm not sure why the letter to Dorothy Klein would be signed by Rodriguez as the "General Secretary of Alpha 66". He was the President of the Dallas Chapter.
As far as DL 282-S goes, it could be any one of a number of individuals. If you look at this document,

On pages 5-6, Rodriguez lists the officers of the Dallas Chapter of Alpha 66/SNFE. I know the FBI interviewed several of them in 1964; most notably in my mind, Raul Castro and Juan Quintana. Juan Francisco Quintana Maya and Raul Castro Baile were jointly interviewed by FBI Wallace Heitman at their home in Garland on May 14, 1964.

See here for an interview of Juan Quintana Maya:
http://www.maryferre....do?docId=69111On May 25, 1964, Manuel Rodriguez voluntarily appeared at the Dallas FBI offices and spoke to Wallace Heitman. He told Heitman that the members of SNFE met at bi-weekly meetings at 3126 Harlandale. (Although in his Report, Heitman spelled it Hollandale.)

Bart,
I need to pay more attention to the Dallas Council on World Affairs.
https://www.dfwworld.org/President-CEO
“In October of 1951, the Dallas Morning News reported on the founding of the Dallas Council on World Affairs. H. Neil Mallon, president of Dresser Industries and the Council's first president, was quoted on why he organized it: "The end purpose of the DCWA is to ask ourselves 'What can we do?" then to educate ourselves and understand." The newspaper said Mr. Mallon told the board of directors that "Dallas needed such a council because Dallas people must keep up with foreign affairs, which are becoming of greater importance daily."”
https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/dod04
Handbook of Texas Online
Dresser Industries by Darwin Payne
“H. Neil Mallon was selected as president and chief executive officer (of Dresser Industries); he held that position until his retirement in 1962. Under Mallon, a Cincinnati native and Yale graduate whose earlier experience had been in the canning industry, Dresser took advantage of its strong cash position to launch a program of acquisitions designed to survive a new threat to its coupling business-the introduction of welding for joining pipes together. Between 1930 and the entry of the United States into World War II, Dresser acquired various companies that manufactured valves, heaters, pumps, and engines and compressors.
After the war, expansion continued, as the company diversified into such products as oil derricks, blowers, drill bits, refractories, and drilling mud. Dresser was energetic in following new oil and gas markets around the world, even behind the Iron Curtain. Future United States president George Bush worked for the company in several positions after the war. His father, Prescott Bush, had been a W. A. Harriman and Company executive who had been involved in the conversion of Dresser to a public company, and he served on the board of directors for twenty-two years. In 1950 the company headquarters were transferred to Dallas to be near the nation's major oil and gas fields and also to take advantage of the central location for managing what by then had become a far-flung empire....
To comply with federal antitrust regulations, Dresser sold off its interest in M-I Drilling Fluids Company and Western Atlas International. Upon completion of the Baroid merger, Dresser became the third-largest oil-services company in the world.”

Steve, I could have sworn that you found a document some time ago which showed that the original source of the communication was a general message that had come out of the Army headquarters in Washington late that afternoon and that it was being recirculated among a number of headquarters as SOP. Seems like this was discussed at length then and that Jones was wrong other than the fact that it certainly did not originate in the 112th. It seemed to make a great deal of sense given that it reads like a headquarters message that would go to a number of commands. I had put it out of my mind after that exchange...should have saved something I suppose. It also made sense given that Strike Command was a virtual command, being largely a headquarters group and its assets were within field Army groups including the armored units at Fort Bliss and commands like the 101st - if I recall correctly.
Larry,
Yes. That's what the cable actually is. It's coming out of Washington summarizing an earlier phone call between a Captain Saxton at US Srikom and a Lt. Col Fons at DCSINTEL.
For those interested, it's in:
It's in the Weisberg Collection.
https://archive.org/details/nsia-ArmyIntelligenceJFK
If I remember correctly, the local 112th in Dallas didn't know anything about it, and the suggestion is that Stringfellow communicated his info about Oswald directly to San Antonio.
Stringfellow was manning the radio at the Fairrounds, and I think he talked directly to Fort Sam Houston. But how it got from Fort Sam Houston to McDill in FL. is a mystery - to me anyway.
Jones told the HSCA, "I take no pride of ownership of it."

52 minutes ago, Larry Hancock said:
As to Jones, I've written everything about him that I know, it appears to me he was selected by the committee to be interviewed (certainly not selected by the Army as a unit spokesperson) because his name showed up on some of the communications being exchanged with Dallas Police the day of the assassination. Of course given the questions they were asking they would have been much better off calling people from the local unit in Dallas but since his name was on messages actually relating to Oswald they probably just pulled Jone's name and that was it. Just a guess on my part.
Larry,
On pp 55 and 56 of Jones' HSCA testimony, Mr. Genzman is asking Jones about the cable sent to McDill AFB the night of the 22nd.
https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/hsca/unpub_testimony/Jones_4-20-78/html/jones_0055a.htm
Jones said it didn't come from the 112th, and speculated it might have been prepared by a Mr. Arthur Nagel on the staff of the Chief of Staff's office at Fort Sam Houston.
Do you have any thoughts on where that cable came from?
