FBI - HSCA Subject File: Lydia Dymitruk (page 9 in the file, page 7 of the Report)
On December 3, 1968 the FBI interviewed a George Bloodworth, who was a Warrant Officer Candidate in the U.S. Army Helicopter School in Mineral Wells, Texas. He met George Bouhe in the apartment of Alexander Kleinlerer. Bloodworth had formerly been in the Marines and had been stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia. He was very security conscious. Kleinlerer left the apartment to buy some food at a delicatessen, and Bloodworth and Bouhe got to talking. While they were talking, Bloodworth got the impression that Bouhe was “one of us”, meaning an Army Intelligence Agent.
I was looking around for something else and stumbled on this.
A couple of things:
1) Please excuse the gibberish. This is the OCR ASCII text rendering. I tried to clean it up, but got tired.
2) I have read before that Lydia Dymitruk was suspected by some as being a Soviet Agent. See how closely her biography parallels Marina Oswald's.
3) Is George Bouhe a double agent or was he just testing Bloodworth? Is there another reason that Bouhe and Max Clark took the Oswalds under their wings?
4) The concern Bouhe expresses over the radio. I got the feeling that Oswald was very protective of a radio when he moved into Mary Bledsoe's house. Was it the same kind of radio?
5) George Bouhe knew that Oswald had moved into the house on Elsbeth as early as November, 1962. James Hosty said he didn't learn of that fact until March, 1963.
Bouhe is way out ahead of Hosty.

C) Between August and October 1968, Source (George Bloodworth), was a flight student at the US Army Flight Center (USAFC), Fort Wolters, Texas. On one occasion during this period (nfi), Source and his wife, Vivianne, visited a casual acquaintance at this individual’s apartment in Dallas, Texas, address not remembered. Source initially met this individual at a Jewish seminar held at Fort Wolters and was subsequently invited to visit him at his apartment in Dallas. Bloodworth commented that although he knew that this individual was French he could not remember any further identifying data concerning him at this time. During the cited visit. Source and his wife accompanied the Frenchman to another apartment, address unknown, of an unidentified elderly Russian couple (nfi) and introduced them. Later in the evening, the Frenchman and Source's wife left the apartment to purchase some items at a local delicatessen (nfi), leaving Source alone with the Russian couple. The Russian male prepared Source two cocktails mixed from a powder which Source was told was Tom Collins mix. Source felt no effect from the first drink; however, shortly after consuming the second, he became semi-conscious and mentally confused as though he had been drugged. He recalled that during this time the Russian couple asked him several questions concerning the performance capabilities of US Army tactical aircraft. Source does not recall the specific questions and in his confused state could not recall his responses. When Bloodworth's wife and the Frenchman returned from the delicatessen. Source insisted that they leave immediately. Because of his physical and mental condition, Source's wife was forced to drive from Dallas to Fort Wolters. The following morning Source related the incident to US Army Intelligence (USAI) officials at Fort Wolters. Approximately one week after reporting the incident to USAI, Source was questioned by an unidentified special agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and once again provided the details of the incident at the Russian couple's apartment. Several days later. Source was again contacted by the special agent, who assured Source that he had nothing to worry about because the individuals were already under investigation by the FBI. The agent mentioned that the Russian couple was known to be acquainted with the wife of Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of former President John F. Kennedy. Source felt that this incident and Tismer's request for a photograph of him when he was younger may have been related.

DATE SUBMITTED: 2 May 1977 3 CONTROL SYMBOL or file number: 23 Sep’.76 4. REPORT OF FINDINGS On 2 May 1977, a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) report, dated 31 December 1968, was reviewed concerning an incident involving SSG George C. Bloodworth, a former member of Headquarters, 66th Military Intelligence Group (MIG), McGraw Kaseme (Barracks), Munich (PU9135), Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), APO New York 09108, which occurred in October 1968 while he was assigned V to Fort Wolters, Texas. The review of the FBI report revealed substantially the following pertinent Information: ... On 3 December 1968, George C. Bloodworth and his wife, Vivians Astrid Bloodworth, nee: Hayoun, who resided at 516 Southwest 17th Street, Mineral Wells, Texas, were interviewed by a Special Agent of the FBI. Bloodworth, then a Warrant Officer Candidate, was assigned to the 10th Warrant Officer Candidate Company, US Army Primary Helicopter School, Fort Wolters. Bloodworth stated that on 5 October 1963, he and his wife met Alexander Kleinlerer at an unidentified Jewish Synagogue in Fort Worth. Bloodworth and his wife accompanied Kleinlerer to his apartment located at 3542 Kent Street, Fort Worth to give Kleinlerer various unidentified articles, which he was to deliver to Mrs. Bloodworth's mother who resided in Paris (nca), France, while on a business trip (nfi). I (S) Upon their arrival at Kleinlerer's residence, Bloodworth and his wife met George Bouhe and Lydia Dymitruk. Bouhe allegedly resided in Dallas, Texas and Dymitruk resided in the apartment next door to Kleinlerer's apartment. Later that evening, as Bloodworth and his wife were preparing to depart Kleinlerer's apartment, Kleinlerer told Mrs. Bloodworth that a good delicatessen was located near his apartment and Mrs. Bloodworth would be able to purchase food items which she would not ordinarily be able to find In "this country". At Kleinlerer's suggestion, he and Mrs. Bloodworth went to the delicatessen to purchase some of the food prior to Mrs. Bloodworth and her husband's return to Fort Wolters. George Bloodworth, who was having a drink, remained at the apartment with Bouhe and Dymitruk. (S) Bloodworth became engaged in general conversation with Bouhe and Dymitruk Bouhe asked Bloodworth about his duty in the Republic of Vietnam. Bouhe further asked Bloodworth his opinion concerning the U.S. commitment to Vietnam. During the conversation with Bouhe, Bloodworth stated that he had served in Vietnam as a "gunner" on helicopters. Bouhe then asked Bloodworth questions concerning the types of helicopters used by the US and the armament capabilities of these helicopters. Bloodworth initially thought Bouhe might have been an Army Intelli¬ gence Officer, and was testing Bloodworth's security consciousness, and therefore Bloodworth was very careful in answering Bouhe’s questions. However, Bloodworth also believed that Bouhe was possibly a foreign intelligence officer, although Bouhe gave Bloodworth no indication of this, either by action or word. Only Bouhe asked Bloodworth questions. During lulls in the conversation, Bouhe and Dymitruk conversed in the Russian language. (S) Kleinlerer and Mrs. Bloodworth returned to the apartment approximately 30 minutes after they had departed. Upon their return to the apartment, the conversation drifted off to normal conversation. Bouhe observed a radio in the apartment and asked Dymitruk why Kleinlerer had to purchase a new radio when the one that he had given Kleinlerer would receive Moscow. Because of the conversa¬ tion, Bloodworth became suspicious of Bouhe, and as such felt that the conversa¬ tion should be reported. Bloodworth believed that the answers to the questions asked by Bouhe could have been obtained through the news media and aviation magazines, and may have been used as a lead-in for later questions. Bloodworth and his wife were invited to visit Bouhe in Dallas, but had not done so at the time of their interview by the FBI. (S) Based on information provided by Bloodworth, the FBI conducted investi¬ gations concerning Dymitruk, Bouhe and Kleinlerer. The results of the FBI investigation are summarized below: (S) A coded government agency which conducted security type investigations revealed to the FBI that Lydia Dymitruk was born on33 April .1926 in Rostov USSR. In approximately 1942, she was deported by the Germans to a work camp in Germany. When the war ended, she entered a camp for displaced persons in Duesseldorf, Germany, where she met and married Karel Lodwi.jk Verhelst, Belgian citizen ^nfi). On an unknown date, she entered Belgium with her husband nd resided In Antwerp (nca), Belgium. She was alleged to be a member of the Union of Soviet Patriots in Belgium from 1948 to 1952. In 1952, while still married to Verhelst, she began living with Vasiliy Gavrilovich, also known as Pavel Kostenko, in Brussels (nca), Belgium. She was divorced by Verhelst in November 1953, and continued living with Gavrilovich until late 1954 or 1955. Gavrilovich was allegedly born on 5 September 1922 In Tula (nca), USSR. He served n the Soviet Army in World War II prior to joining the "Vlassov Forces" in fighting on the side of the Germans against the Soviets. After the war, he lived in Germany and Belgium and was active in several anti-communist Russian emigre organizations including the National Labor Alliance (NTS). In 1955, Gavrilovich " was identified as a Soviet agent in clandestine contact with the Soviet Embassy in Brussels. In February 1957, he was expelled from the NTS and left Brussels for Moscow (nca) on 20 August 1957. Prior to leaving Belgium for the USSR, Gavrilovich reportedly revealed that he had worked for Soviet intelligence since 1942 and that he was trained in the Soviet Union for intelligence work and dispatched to the West as a Soviet agent (nfi). In a radio broadcast from East Berlin (UU9220), on 17 September 1957, sponsored by the Soviet Committee for Return to the Homeland, Gavrilovich bitterly attacked Russian emigre organizations in the West. (S) On 27 June 1956, in Ixelles, a suburb of Brussels, Lydia Dymitruk married Pavel Dymitruk, who was born on 28 February 1924 in Stariye-Dorohl (nca), USSR. On an unknown date, possibly prior to his marriage to Lydia, Pavel Dymitruk immigrated to the US. It was reported that in July 1957, he returned to Belgium to attempt to expedite a visa for Lydia to join him in the US.

Pavel Dymitruk was born on 28 February 1924 in the USSR. Lydia Dymitruk was formerly married to Karel L. Verelst and that marriage was terminated by divorce on 10 June 1953. From April 1952 until October or November 1955, Lydia Dymitruk lived with "Vasiliy Kostenko". Kostenko was a known Soviet agent. (S) The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), Dallas, Texas, advised the FBI that their records reflect that on 3 December 1958, Lydia Dymitruk I submitted an application to enter the US. Dymitruk gave her address as 56 Rue 1 Americane, Ixelles, Belgium. The INS file further reflected that Visa Petition I Number 825385 pertaining to Lydia Dymitruk had been approved by the INS, Detroit, I Michigan on 7 January 1957. The petition was made by her husband. Lydia Dymitruk had a Belgium passport number C033463/6572, issued on 28 September 1956. On 29 January 1959, she was granted Immigration Visa Number 1044 under the USSR quota by the US Consulate in Antwerp, Belgium. Lydia Dymitruk entered the US on 4 March 1 1959 at New York City, New York. . ; • (S'). The Domestic Relations Court, Dallas County, Texas, advised the FBI that on 15 December 1960, Lydia Berdjanskaja Dymitruk filed a divorce suit against Paul (Pavel) Dymitruk. The divorce petition reflected that they were married on 27 June 1956 in Brussels, Belgium. The petition further reflected that they had resided in Dallas for more than one year and had separated on 13 December 1960. There were no children as a result of this marriage. On 12 May 1961, Judge Beth Wright of the Domestic Relations Court, Dallas County, Texas, granted the divorce. .. 5. TYPED NAME AND ORGANIZATION OF SPECIAL AGENT DAVID R.

Bloodworth was married to the former Viviane Astrid Hayoun, whose mother, a terminal cancer patient, was residing in Paris (nca), France. Bloodworth's wife had visited her mother on two occasions, once in December 1966 and again in May 1967. (C) On 2 October 1968 Bloodworth and his wife attended services at a Jewish Synagogue near Harris Memorial Hospital in Fort Worth, where they met Alexander Kleinlerer, a Frenchman. The Bloodworths were introduced to Kleinlerer by an unidentified man in the congregation who was described by Bloodworth as having a large beard which covered most of his face, 35 years of age, approximately 70 inches in height, 180 pounds, and very friendly toward everyone at the congrega¬ tion. The unidentified man seemed to know almost everyone in the congregation. Bloodworth could provide no further information concerning this individual. Kleinlerer was immediately attracted to Bloodworth and his wife when he learned that Mrs. Bloodworth's mother resided in Paris. Kleinlerer, who stated that he made frequent trips to Paris, and was planning to visit Paris during the week of 14 October 1968, stated that he would try to visit Mrs. Bloodworth's mother. At Mrs. Bloodworth's request, Kleinlerer agreed to deliver a few articles to Mrs. Bloodworth's mother. The articles consisted of clothing and a small souvenir type camera. Kleinlerer told Bloodworth and his wife to bring the articles to his apartment on 5 October 1968. Bloodworth believed Kleinlerer's address to be 3052 Kent Street, Fort Worth.

During this time Bouhe and Lydia asked Bloodworth numerous questions concerning the types of helicopters in use by the US and about the armament capabilities of these helicopters. During the questioning, Bouhe and Lydia also engaged in conversations between themselves in a language other than English. In response to Bloodworth's questions, they informed him that they were speaking in the Russian language. Bouhe asked Bloodworth what he thought about the Vietnam War and how long he thought it would take before the war ended. Bloodworth thought it strange that two civilians would be asking questions about helicopter armament and only answered their questions when he knew the information was unclassified and could be read in any aviation magazine or newspaper. Bloodworth was not questioned about his background. Bloodworth overheard Bouhe and Lydia talking about two radios that were located in the apartment. Lydia stated that Kleinlerer had bought another radio and Bouhe immediately asked why, because he (Bouhe) had given Kleinlerer a radio that would receive "Moscow." Bloodworth noticed two radios located on a table in the rear of Kleinlerer’s apartment, however could provide no positive identifying data on the radios because they were encased. When Kleinlerer and Mrs. Bloodworth returned to the apartment, Bouhe stated that he knew some French and Tunisian people residing in Dallas whom he would like Bloodworth and his wife to meet. Bouhe wrote his name and the phone number TA1-3244 on a piece of paper and gave it to Bloodworth, stating that Bloodworth and his wife should visit him in Dallas. Bloodworth provided the following description of Kleinlerer and Lydia LNU: a.

(C) On 8 October 1968 the records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Dallas Mercantile Building, Dallas, Texas, were examined and revealed the following information concerning George Alexandrovich Bouhe: (C) Bouhe first came to the attention of the FBI in 1953, when he was reported to the FBI as a foreigner who sent packages to Europe and made frequent trips to Europe. Bouhe's file contained no information concerning a follow-up of this report. Shortly thereafter, the FBI received an inquiry from the Immi¬ gration and Naturalization Service (INS), to determine if Bouhe was in any way connected with subversive elements. The results of the INS investigation were not indicated. The INS inquiry indicated that Bouhe was born on 24 February 1904 in St. Petersburg (nca), Russia, and was naturalized as a US citizen in New York on 30 September 1935. Bouhe was employed in March 1952 by the American Liberty Oil Company, Dallas, Texas. (C) Bouhe next came to the attention of the FBI during the investigation of the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy. In November 1963 Bouhe was interviewed by the FBI concerning his alleged contact with Lee Harvey and Marina Oswald. Bouhe stated that he had read of Oswald's return from the Soviet Union in 1962, in a Fort Worth newspaper, and expressed an interest in meeting Marina Oswald because she might have been from his area of Russia. A man named Gregory, not further identified (nfi), had invited Bouhe to a dinner for Oswald, where Bouhe became acquainted with the Oswalds. Bouhe later visited the Oswald's apartment and found that they were almost destitute. Bouhe pro¬ vided the Oswalds with groceries, baby clothes and a baby crib. Bouhe did not see Oswald after December 1962. Bouhe's name appeared many times in the files of the Oswald case because he was an acquaintance of Marina and Lee Harvey Oswald and because of his having been born in Russia. The FBI interviewed Bouhe in late 1963 to determine the reason for his recent trip to Mexico. He explained the trip as a vacation to the satisfaction of the FBI. Page 3 of 7 Pages 5.

Bloodworth provided substantially the following information: (C) Bloodworth was assigned to Fort Wolters on 3 August 1968 and resided with his wife and two children at 416 S. W. 17th Street, Mineral Wells, Texas. Mrs. Bloodworth's mother, a terminal cancer patient, resided in Paris, France. In December 1966 and May 1967, Mrs. Bloodworth traveled to Paris to visit her mother. This travel was accomplished on a space available basis via Military Airlift Transport planes on orders published by United States Marine Corps, Paris Island, South Carolina. (C) At the time Bloodworth met Kleinlerer, Bloodworth was attired in his US Army uniform as WOCs were not authorized to wear civilian clothing while in training. During the conversation which Bloodworth had with Bouhe and Lydia LNU on 5 October 1968, Bouhe asked Bloodworth numerous questions. The conversation centered upon Bloodworth's recent tour of duty in the Republic of Vietnam (RVN). When Bloodworth stated that he had worked with helicopters in RVN, Bouhe began asking questions about the armament, guns, rockets, guided missiles and mini guns, carried by helicopters. To the questions on rockets, guided missiles and mini guns, Bloodworth replied that he knew nothing about this equipment. Bloodworth did, however, answer questions concerning the machine guns used on helicopters, which was public knowledge and appeared in various publications. (C) Bloodworth learned from his wife that Kleinlerer did a great deal of traveling for Loma Industries, Fort Worth, where he was employed as a research engineer. Kleinlerer had told Mrs. Bloodworth that he did not particularly want to make his upcoming trip to France, and appeared to be worried about something,. Kleinlerer further told Mrs. Bloodworth that he had two passports, one for the USA and one for France, and that while in France, he traveled under a different name (nfi).

Joseph--do you think Oswald would have kept a gun there? I don't. I've rented a room in a place with no lock on the room. I saw that house and it had 10 renters. I don't believe for a second that there was not snooping and I think Oswald would know that. I don't know how he got the gun he had, but I just doubt it was kept on Beckley.
Robert,
I'm awful glad I never had to rent from Mrs. Johnson. She was perfectly willing to violate her tenants' fourth amendment rights.
Either the police lied to the Johnsons, or the Johnsons lied to the Warren Commission.
Mr. BALL. Did you ever know his true name was Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mrs. JOHNSON. No; not until we saw his picture flash on the television as the officers were out. Those particulars was found in his pocket after he killed Tippit, after his arrest.Mr. JOHNSON. "Well, uh--after he was--uh--apprehended out there, they searched him and found my address in his pocket
Mr. BELIN. Your address of 1026 North Beckley?
Mr. JOHNSON. That's right.Mr. BALL. When they came out there, did they have a search warrant?
Mrs. JOHNSON. Yes, surely.Mr. BALL. Did you permit them to search his room?
Mrs. JOHNSON. Yes; they taken everything immediately out of his room.“So I came from the restaurant, I guess 1 or 1:30, and these officers were there 1:30 or 2, something like that, anyway, it was after this assassination, and as I drove in, well, the officers were there and they told me that they was looking for this character and I told them I didn't think I had anyone by that name there but we went through the register carefully two or three times and there was no Oswald there and I had two new tenants, rather new tenants, so we had carried them around the house to show them and we was going to start in the new tenants' rooms...”
At 2:40 PM, W.E. Potts, B.L. Senkel and Lt. E.L. Cunningham were dispatched to 1026 N. Beckley. Potts wrote in his after-action report (Box 2, Folder# 9, Item# 32) http://jfk.ci.dallas.tx.us/box2.htm that after he finished taking some affidavits, Fritz dispatched them to the Beckely St address at 2:40 and they arrived at Beckley at 3:00PM.
Detective B.L. Senkel also said in his after action report (Dallas Police Archives Box 3, Folder# 12, Item#1) that they arrived at 1026 N. Beckley at 3:00PM.
They checked the register and found that Oswald had been living there since October 14th.
They did not search the room on Beckley until Detective Turner, David Johnston, and Deputy DA Bill Alexander arrived with a search warrant at 4:30 or 5:00PM (Potts, Dallas City Archives - JFK Collection)Steve Thomas

We know that LBJ had two urgent needs: to stay out of jail and not to be removed from the ticket.
When a hearing about your corruption is being held on Capitol Hill on the very day of the assassination, that's really cutting it close.
Ron,
I figure there was either an urgent need, or it was a matter of revenge, and the timing was coincidental.
On a thread dealing with Lyman Lemnitzer, I wrote:
"Lately, I've been speculating lately on "revenge as motive" for the hit on JFK.
Not so much for what he "might" do with respect to getting out of Vietnam, or eliminating the oil depletion allowance, etc., but for what JFK "had" done; and looking at the people who had been "exiled to the frontier". So far, I've come up with Lyman Lemnitzer and William King Harvey, who was transferred to Rome after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Remember his handwritten ZR/Rifle to use Corsicans rather than Mafia. Being CIA Station Chief in Rome would make him pretty well positioned to find some.
I think they sat out there in the boondocks and stewed.
In ancient Roman times, wasn't it the generals who had been banished to Gaul who were always stirring up trouble, with this legion or that legion always seemingly ready to "cross the Rubicon" at any moment?
Although they weren't exiled, I'd add Allen Dulles and Charles Cabell, who were forced into retirement rather than banished to the frontier."

David Talbot posted this on Facebook today:
"So what, then, is protecting Trump?
To this crowd, JFK was jeopardizing the country's security (and their own power and wealth) by trying to forge peace with our Communist enemies and demilitarize the U.S.
So no matter how he (Trump) blows off steam on Twitter, there are significant factions within the deep state that are still cheering him on, or that at least find him a useful idiot.
Trump's high negatives, not to mention his mounting legal troubles, give his ardent enemies in the deep state sufficient confidence that he will be removed from office legally -- either through impeachment or by the ballot. These security forces would then be spared exercising the extreme and risky option of Dallas 11/22/63."
I'd be interested to hear your own theories on this taboo topic.
Douglas,
It's funny. I was just thinking about that this morning.
As much as Kennedy was hated by the upper eschelon, he was still adored by the masses.
Look at the crowds standing ten deep along Main St. in Dallas.Something Ralph Yarborough said has always stuck with me. He said that along the parade route, the people down on the street were clapping and cheering, but if you looked up into the upper floors of the buildings, the peoples' eyes were full of anger and hatred. I always took that as a metaphor.
So I was wondering, what couldn't wait for the regular election process to run its course? Why the urgent need to eliminate Kennedy now?
So far, I don't have an answer to that.

2.) Because of his revolutionary foreign policy in the Third World, Kennedy was very much up against it with the Power Elite, that is the Eastern Establishment power brokers who hated him for what he wanted to do in places like Congo and Indonesia. That is let the citizens there have access and the profits to their own resources.

Well,
This turned out to be a research bust.
The conference was held on December 1, 1963 and lasted for two hours.
Both the Texas State Adjutant General and the Commanding General for the Reserve Corps itself were there, but none of the people I was hoping to find signed in as conference participants: Logue, Castorr, Whitmeyer, Crichton, Brandstetter, etc.
I guess I need to keep looking to find out which branch of service these Colonels were part of.
I did find out how the Texas State Guard Reserve Corps was organized when it was first formed that I'll post just for curiosity's sake.

Any dingus knows that there is no "straight," non-tendencied biography of Oswald, because the obvious prejudices of the publishing industry and of the general public. There is only propaganda of one stripe or another, or research works that support one of several conclusions about Oswald. So any posing of the question is disingenuous, and a kind of baiting of the Forum membership.
David,
No biography is free of interpretation. Otherwise, all you're left with is a chronology.

steve - found this old thread after reading so many docs naming Jose Marie Andre Mankel as QJWIN. The link you posted ends with the statement that Mankel is not QJWIN’s real name, but other released details are correct. What do you make of that?
Incidentally I combed through the Nixon screenplay looking for anything. Strangely, in scene 76 Nixon compares Liddy to Martin Bormann.
Paul,
It's been a long time since I looked into this.
It looks like they are saying that virtually all data on Mankel - his background, etc. has already been released. The only thing that hasn't been released is his true name and they are wondering if they should contest that or not.
Back in 2007, I wrote:
"The candidates that QJWIN was recruiting were petty criminals, most of them having rap sheets for burglary.
William Harvey's handwritten notes on the ZRRIFLE program refer to crypts and codes.
Right now I believe that Harvey was putting together a team to break into foreign embassies."
On page 3 of that document, https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=60509#relPageId=3&tab=page
it says that the objective of the ZRRIFLE project was to, "procure foreign code and cypher materials and information on such matters".
It looks like the CIA was trying to steal information on foreign cryptonyms. We sit around and scratch our heads and try to figure out what KUBARK and ODACID and AMCLATTER mean. You can understand the frustration when trying to deal with the KGB equivalent.

But couldn't he have got it from the other wallet?
Jim,
Yes. He could have.
I keep forgetting about the other wallet.
As far as the library card being in the Bentley wallet...
Either Carroll didn't testify truthfully when he said no addresses were mentioned in the car ride; or,
Caroll lied when he told Revill that's where it came from; or,
Revill lied to Sorrells when he told Sorrells that's what Carroll told him; or,
Sorrells lied to the Commission when he told them that's what Revill told him (Sorrells).
On the day he testified, May 13, 1964, Revill said:
Mr. REVILL. Yes, sir; this is the address we were given or I was given by some of the officers involved in the arrest.
Mr. RANKIN. Who gave that to you?
Mr. REVILL. I believe Detective Carroll, Carroll or Detective Taylor, they were both there.
Mr. RANKIN. And was that at the time you made this out that you were given that information?
Mr. REVILL. Shortly before I made this out.
Mr. RANKIN. You didn't even know where he lived then?
Mr. REVILL. No, sir; I did not. I had never heard of him.Carroll had testified a month earlier on April 3, 1964.
Why would he tell the WC that no addresses had been mentioned in the car ride, and yet tell Revill on the afternoon of 11/22/63 that the library card had been brought out in the car?
Did Revill not know what Carroll had told the WC back in April?
This doesn't make sense to me.

Why was Dulles pressing on this issue?
Jim,
I think it's because Dulles realized that Revill knew something he shouldn't have known.
This was Revill's second appearance before the Commission. At Revill's hearing, he is being asked about this document:
https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1134#relPageId=521&tab=page
This is CE 709 and the explosive revelation in it is what Hosty told Revill in the basement about the FBI knowing Oswald was capable of committing the assassination.
Revill's testimony is in May. Back in April he had sworn out an affidavit that what he wrote in that memo the previous November was true and accurate.
As late as May of 1964, it is the Commission who is telling Revill that he got the address wrong.
Mr. RANKIN. And the words 605 Elsbeth Street, was that given by you?
Mr. REVILL. Yes, sir; this is the address we were given or I was given by some of the officers involved in the arrest.Mr. RANKIN. You know that is wrong, don't you?
Mr. REVILL. The 605?
Mr. RANKIN. Yes.
Mr. REVILL. I don't know.
Mr. RANKIN. Is it wrong?
Mr. REVILL. Yes; it is.
Mr. DULLES. As of the time.
Mr. REVILL. That is what they gave me.Mr. RANKIN. You found that out?
Mr. DULLES. This is an address he once lived at.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you know that?
Mr. DULLES. This is correct. I want to find out what he knows about it.
Mr. REVILL. Is this a-is this an incorrect address on Mr. Oswald where he was living at the time?
Mr. RANKIN. If you check it up I think you will find--it is an incorrect address at the time.When was the last time you saw a Commission lawyer questioning a Commission member about his knowledge?
Revill was unable to tell the Commission how he got that information, and had to go back and find out.
What Reviil was told about how that information came about turned out to be wrong.
The information about the Elsbeth address is not coming from Revill, but through him.
As I said to Paul Brancato, there is a pipeline of information that we don't know about yet.

http://www.startribune.com/obituary-jack-puterbaugh-dfl-stalwart-and-advance-man-for-jfk-s-final-trip/297901471/
“In 1961, Jack Puterbaugh joined Freeman in Washington. The former Minnesota governor had been appointed secretary of agriculture by the new president.
In October 1963, Puterbaugh advanced Kennedy’s trip to Duluth, where the president was the main speaker at a conference sponsored by the USDA. (U.S. Department of Agriculture)
The next month, he was sent to Texas to help find the best place for the Nov. 22 luncheon — the Trade Mart or a building on the State Fairgrounds. Along with a Secret Service agent, Puterbaugh drove both routes from Love Field, where Air Force One was going to land.... On that fateful Friday, Puterbaugh was in the pilot car — a Dallas police car — five or six blocks ahead of the presidential limousine."
