Greg Parker Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Some dot points from a biographical sketch of Morse per, "Memorial Tributes: National Academy of Engineering, Volume 5" (1992) http://books.nap.edu/books/0309046890/html/205.html#pagetop -Born August 19, 1911 in Abington, Massachusetts - died July 1, 1988 of a heart attack playing tennis. -Attended MIT - received BA 1933. -Did graduate work at the Technische Hochschuke, Munich 1933-34. -Received honorary degrees in engineering from the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute (1959) and a D.Sc from Clark University (1960). -Worked for Eastman-Kodak on return from Munich until 1940. -Founded National Research Corporation 1940 to develop new manufacturing techniques and new products. -Had early success in vacuum processes for powdered drugs, coating of optical lenses, dehydration of food without sacrificing taste or vitamins, and refining metals without impurities. -Developed new technique for making orange juice concentrate and helped set up the Minute Maid Corporation. -Broadening his horizons, became involved with government programs in chemical, biological and radiological warfare. -Resigned as president of the National Research Corporation to take up post as director of research and development for the US Army in 1959 - later upgraded to a presidential appointment of assistant secretary US Army for research and development. -Did not agree with US Defense Dept's downgrading of many US Army programs, in particular postponing of the Nike Zeus and the awarding of almost all military space programs to the US Air Force. -As an ardent Republican, was vocal against the candidacy of JFK leading to his resignation in 1961. (though not noted in the article, it was actually a month after the BOP) -Subsequently continued his interest in organising small companies to exploit new developments and technology, and soon took up a post in the Alfred P Sloane School of Management within MIT. -Became involved with the problems of pollution, and the search for alternative sources of energy leading to a contract with the Dept of Commerce for research and development. Helped organise the Dept of Commerce Technical Advisory Board. This led to becoming a govt advisor on energy and pollution. -Elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1976. -Served on the Defense Science Board and as as chairman of the Advisory Board to the US Air Force Systems Command. Also a trustee of the Aerospace Corporation, a member of the corporation of the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the Boston Museum of Science. -Additionally, a long serving board member of Dresser Industries. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Some additional information not covered above: his work at Eastman-Kodak included development of microdot and microfilm technology. QUOTE It was not only the Nazis who obscured Goldberg's achievements. In 1946, twenty years after the publication Goldberg's classic paper on microdot technology (E. Goldberg, 1926), the Reader's Digest published a boastful article about espionage and microdots signed by J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. Without mentioning the name Goldberg, Hoover writes of "the famous Professor Zapp, inventor of the micro-dot process, at the Technical High School in Dresden." Hoover apparently conflates Goldberg's achievement and academic appointment with the name of Walter Zapp, inventor of the Minox subminiature camera, also used by spies but of a quite different technology and incapable of producing microdots. An erroneous description of microdot production were made follows (Hoover, 1946, 3. For discussion of "this concoction of semitruths and overt disinformation" see White, 1990, 191-195. Reader's Digest printed Hoover's piece as the lead paper of the April 1 issue.) ---- Goldberg's microfilm selector was known at the Kodak Research Laboratories in Rochester, New York, before Kodak funded Bush to construct a "rapid" microfilm selector. Two leading scientists from the Kodak Research Laboratories, Samuel Edward Sheppard and Adrian Peter Herman Trivelli, attended the 1931 Congress, were personal friends of Goldberg, and would presumably have seen the prototype demonstrated. In 1937, Goldberg's son, Herbert Goldberg, went to work at the Eastman Kodak Research Laboratories. In 1938, an employee in the Laboratories, Richard S. Morse, applied for and later assigned to Eastman Kodak a patent for a refinement of the code sensing on what is clearly a microfilm selector (Morse, 1942). UNQUOTE http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/~buckland/goldbush.html His connections with Dresser industries is also of interest... The spray gun Robert Webster was hawking to the Soviets was manufactured by the Rand Development Corporation. The Rand Development Corporation later became Rand-Ingersoll and Rand- Dresser... with Rand-Ingersoll selling part of their business to Devilbiss - a company which also manufactured spray guns and to which LHO applied for a job... I believe these guns had an application in the areospace industry, and may have been used to apply protective coatings developed by the National Research Corporation. My interest in Morse started when I came across CE1478 www.history-atters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh22/html/WH_Vol22_0464a.htm This was an FBI memo based on an interview with John C Jackson who lived with Jack Ruby from November 1956 to November 1957. Jackson was employed by the National Research Corporation and had landed in Dallas to obtain "financial backing for experiments that he was conducting on degenerative diseases". This I believe was a euphemism for biological warfare experiments - precisely the line of work Morse's NRC had become involved in during this period. Jackson claims the finance fell through, and Ruby, who struck up a conversation with him in a cafe about 3:00am, offered to let him stay at his place. Ruby, during the time Jackson stayed there, tried to find alternative backers - which is exactly the way Morse did business - using venture capital. However, it was also the way some covert projects - including some of the MKULTRA sub-projects, provided an even greater depth of "plausible deniability" at the same time as muddying the money trail. At some point, Jackson and Ruby ebven attempted a Minute Maid type venture with the Jackson invented health drink, Miniron. His being a common name, this is probably just a coincidence, and there seems no way of proving otherwise, but a "J Jackson" is listed in Hulen Exhibit #9 as staying at the YMCA on the same night as LHO on Oct 15, 1962. http://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/...Vol20_0107a.htm This "John Jackson" btw, should not be confused with the "John Jackson" who was manager at the Ralph Paul's "Bull-Bar"... his middle initial was "W". On page 110 of "Who Was Jack Ruby?", Kantor wrote: "The Commisssion failed to look into an earlier arrest of Jack Ruby by a law officer in Aztec, New Mexico, in the course of what some Dallas sources believed to be a narcotics-related trip by Ruby. Ruby was jailed in Aztec, in a remote area on the north side of the state near the Colorado border, after he was caught driving an overdue rental car. For Ruby, a devoted city creature, this foray off the main highways of New Mexico was an unexplained aberation." Amazingly, Kantor, who quoted from the FBI report on John C Jackson twice in his book (pages 49 and 171), failed to make the connection from this final paragraph of that report (CE 1478): "Jackson advised that in 1958, he had been arrested in New Mexico and incarcerated in the County Jail at Aztec, New Mexico in connection with the rental of an automobile which he had kept for aperiod of time considerably in excess of the rental agreement. While incarcerated in Aztec, New Mexico, Jackson stated that he had been interviewed by an agent of the FBI in connection with the matter." On the first page of the report, Jackson told the FBI that he had moved in with Ruby in November, 1956 and had moved out at the end of 1957 - and had "had no contact with Ruby since May 1958." Did the unnamed "Dallas sources" Kantor referred to cause the FBI to become aware of Jackson? Did this in turn prompt them to ask about the arrest, leaving out the most salient details ie that Ruby was also arrested after they were caught in the ovedue rental car, and that this arrest had led to the discovery of narcotics, followed by a meeting with an FBI agent? Another question: were the narcotics for sale, or for Jackson's MKULTRA-like experiments? Or both? When Morse quit the NRC for Army R&D directorship, his NRC did continue to operate out of MIT prior to a serious of takeovers. Jackson and others incorporated the NRC in Louisiana soon after Morse left at MIT(but prior to any takeovers of the MIT one). I mention this only because the digging I have done in this area caused the need for a "debunking" of it from certain quarters. It was in fact the desire to debunk this information that led to the discovery of Jackson's involvement in setting the company up in La. It is held by my detractors on this that I have never established a direct connection between the NRC incorporated by Jackson, and the one operated out of MIT by Morse. I do admit the connection was an assumed one on my part. I am unable, from where I am, to take this any further. I do however, continue to believe that Jackson's NRC was part and parcel of Morse's operation. The type of work being done, and the use of venture capital, are two reasons for that. This yet to be released document is another concern: AGENCY INFORMATION AGENCY : HSCA RECORD NUMBER : 180-10100-10022 RECORDS SERIES : NUMBERED FILES AGENCY FILE NUMBER : 009498 DOCUMENT INFORMATION ORIGINATOR : HSCA FROM : FBI TO : [No To] TITLE : FBI FILE REVIEW - JOHN C.

Steven Gaal Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) CIA drug-smuggling in Dallas and Laredo in '50s and '60s Peter Fokes 7/25/09 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other recipients: From a blog http://southofheaven.typepad.com/south_of_heaven/2009/06/index.html <quote on> Here's a little bit of history: In the early sixties when someone wanted to move drugs through Dallas they went to Jack Ruby. Why Ruby? Good question. In D From a bloghttp://southofheaven.typepad.com/south_of_heaven/2009/06/index.html <quote on> Here's a little bit of history: In the early sixties when someone wanted to move drugs through Dallasthey went to Jack Ruby. Why Ruby? Good question. In DouglasValentine's The Strength of the Wolf there is the suggestion that the1950 Kefauver hearings avoided discussing the drug trade in Dallasbecause there was an ongoing CIA drug-smuggling operation involvingthe Kuomintang and the US government which passed right through lilol' Dallas. Valentine wrote: "Was it to deflect attention from the Pawley-Cooke mission in Tawain,which was funded by ultra Texas oilmen, like H.L. Hunt, and which, in1951, was facilitating the CIA-Kuomintang drug smuggling operationthat entered the US by crossing the Mexican border at Laredo, Texas?" Does Jack Ruby's involvement with shooting Oswald become moreinteresting if it turns out he's got connections with governmentofficials on one hand and drug dealers on the other? Of course, itdoes. So while Lee Oswald was in the USSR playing the role of"defector", there was another Lee Oswald working with Ruby and otherright-wing anti-Castro groups in New Orleans. And yet the WarrenCommission found Jack Ruby to have been just a patriotic nightclubowner who wanted to spare Jackie Kennedy the trauma of a trial of LeeOswald, her husband's killer. <quote off> Has anyone read The Strength of the Wolf? Here is a summary on the Google Book page: <quote on> The Strength of the Wolf presents for the first time a definitivehistory of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN) from its birth in1930 until its wrenching termination in 1968. Carefully andextensively documented, the book is based largely on interviews withformer FBN agents, and in this respect The Strength of the Wolfrepresents a new chapter in American history, one that introduces acast of fabulous characters. Douglas Valentine tells how the FBN'spremier case-making agents penetrated the arcane world ofinternational drug trafficking and, by uncovering the Establishment'sties to organized crime, brought about their own demise. As the bookreveals in startling detail, the CIA and FBI were often protecting theFBN's major targets in the Mafia and the French Corsican underworld.The CIA and its Nationalist Chinese allies were found to be thelargest drug-trafficking syndicate in the world, but for political andnational security reasons, the FBN was prevented from investigatingthis overarching conspiracy. <quote off> And a snippet of a review in Slingshot: <quote on> What is remarkable about this story is that it holds surprises evenfor those who consider themselves hardened to the realities ofgovernment skullduggery. For example, the government�s complicity withvarious Mafia bosses and their Cuban cohorts make it all butinevitable for questions to be raised about the intelligencecommunity�s involvement in the JFK assassination. <quote off> http://slingshot.tao.ca/displaybi.php?0082026 Like to sing?
