SECRET CLASSICATION

DATE 29 June 1954 TO : Chief, WIDE FROM: Chief of Mission, Mexico City SUBJECT SPECIFIC-Subject of BMW-1507 GENERAL-Operational REFERENCE: MW-1507, 18 June 1954

  1. Subject is contacted by a member of this Mission about twice a month usually on a semi-social tesis. Subject is quite familiar with the workingston based on his experience in Panama, his frequent visits there, and his contacts with this office curing the jaw From time to time subject provides bits of information cr opinions ca local affairs which he thinks may be of interest. Ways in which he could be of further operational use have also been discussed with him in general terms. Subject has provided his name for use in registering a station autcnobile and for cbtaining postoffice tozes.

  2. Subject appears to be well versed in some of the operational methods of the organization and has always expressed a willingness to assist in any way possible. This might include acting as a cut-cut, famishing general political and Communist information, setting up cover establishments, and lie development of informants in several fields. To date, no specific cpening for his services has been evolved but it is highly likely that such a spot will appear in the future.

  3. This Mission foresees no strong obstacle or reason against subject's being contacted by JUMP again but feels that if subject had any inform tien of possible interest to this organization he would immediately contact the writer. In addition, such a contact might possibly re-kindle subject's previcusly expressed feeling that at times it appeared that "the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing". It is suggested that if KUJUMP has ary specific type of infomation in mind, questions indicating the line of interest could be forwarded to this Mission and placed before subject for his corment. If KUJUMP particularly desires to interview subject it is suggested that this Mission be authorized to so inform subject so that the matter vill appear completely coordinated in subject's mind.

None of his operations were clean in the sense that a U.S. Covernment influence had to be introduced into the actual activation of each of his sources. This coupled with the fact that he lacked follow- through has given a slightly sour aspect to all of his operations. Te intend to discontinue our connections with Subject.

OPERATIONAL REVIE PERIOD COVERED: 20 October, 1947 to present.

Subject's original assigment was the estab- lishment of an intelligence net for the Republic of Panama with a view to developing infomation on our varicus YANNER objectives. The assignment was too bread because sub- ject is establishing a new business and has not had sufficient time to devote to our work. Eis activities were redirected along the lines of cultivation of specific individuals. His cultivation and recruitment of the informant HIDRACTD was excellent. His hand- ling of the subject of "ZF-A-200 was ex- cellent. His handling of HYDRATANTAC has. been unsatisfactory in that he has not spent sufficient time on the project. He states he will correct this deficienty. His latest assigrment is the penetration of communist circles in the Patioral University of Panama. He has recruited an excellent individual for this purpose who will be employed at a salary of one Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00) per month. This project is approximately one year old.

To date subject has rot received a salary, but has been compensated socially and by St-Kapak CLASSIFICATION 201 30999

OTHER FACTORS:

COMMENTS: making purchases for him in the govern- ment commissaries. We plan to place him on a salary status in the Mure. this is done we intend that his solary be One Hundred Dollars per month (100.0) per monts. He no longer has cover in his activities as concerns the C. 3. Am in :

tais area. This is due to the fact theyGen. Sibert CARCarib attempted to recraft him as an amy informant after subject hat perfomed two week's active duty with Army Intelligence. To avoid refusing the General's request, subject Infomed him that he was processing his infomation thrown LIE. Since that date, amy CIC men have called at sebject's place of busi- ness inquiring for information. However, we seen to have his real loyalty and we are the ones who can provide him with funds to cultivate sub-agents.

As stated above subject has perfomed ex- cellent services but has not devoted a great deal of time to our work. His in- terest has greatly increased since you permitted HYDROL to receive home office training. He has fairly good contacts and is capable of cultivating almost any one we might wish. His services should become more valuable in the immediate future.

To date subject's intelligence information has only been valuable as a supplement to i other sources. His operational infomation has been excellent and is of real value. He is more interested in the operational side of cur activities than in reporting.

This agent has been handled as outlined in T2F-151 subject to the modifications of increased social contacts necessitated by the fact that subject's wife is in- terested in the social advantages to be gained from her husband's activities.

We plan to continue using this agent to cultivate other potential agent personnel. His primary continous project will סס דפי the penetration of communist activities in the National University of Panama. We may rearrange the relationship between EDROL

HYDRACID and 3DE in view of CORACID'S current schooling. This project is still in the development or probationary stage in that HYDROL's background is such that he regarda the sky as the limit in the expenditure of Intelligence Mads and is inclined to commit himself financially without real assurance that we will receive full value for the funds expended. Realizing that time is an impor- tant factor in the development of high level operations we hope this will prove to be the most efficient expenditure of our funds. If not we will convert the funds to other projects. As a matter of operational er- zacization we feel our ultimate objective in this area should be to ferret out and operate with a nimimun number of skilled American resident agents. Offsetting the criticism mentioned stove are the facts that subject man of och e and definitely a high level operative.

It is requested that Project FOL be soproved to pemit an expenditure of Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00) per quarter.

14-00000 Interview with Alfonso Rudolf Wichtrich by Paul P. Paxton

  1. On 17 November 1948, the subject called at Que Building and was interviewed by Paul P. Paxton. He had been advised to pay his respects to Harry A.. Real by the Chief of Station, Panama City. The subject to learn what the procedure would be if he wished to offer his services with CIA at a future date. At the present tire he is managing the Royal Crown Bottling Works in Panama City and is negotiating for a franchise to distribute a milk product in that area. His primary purpose in coming to the United States at this time was to make arrange- ments for this latter business venture. The subject has been aiding the Chief of Station in Panama for the past year in a manner that has been extremely helpful to our operations. During the war he was a Lt. Col. in United States Arsy Intelligence serving for a considerable time in China in an undercover capacity. He gives evidence of being very well versed in intelligence matters and shows, keen appreciation for security matters.

  2. He stated that within six or eight months his private business affairs in Fanama would be developed to the point where he could accept. a position with this Agency in a full-time capacity. He evidenced interest in either the Latin American aras an in the von ",עולמן China. Imade no commitéments as far as future employment is concerned but I did suggest that you visit this headquarters on his next visit to the United States providing he is in a position to accept full-time employment. I recommend that his application be given serious con- sideration in the light of his past intelligence experience and by virture of his valuable assistance to our operations in Brass.

  2. Subject's background has been with the U. S. Army in China, where he crganized a complete intelligence net. He is an organizer and planner and best qualified for the supervision of intelligence nets and inforzants, and intelligence operations in general.

  3. He is a very personable individual and has the facility for getting along with Latins. He is very well accepted even though he has been here only a little over a year.

  5. Subject makes frequent business trips to Mexico.

  6. Subject has discussed plans for expanding his business into South America.

  7. Subject has five people working for him. (a) HYDRACID; HYDRAVANIC; and the subject of TZP-4-269. He has also cultivated two unwitting informants, one of whom is a fairly prominent Arnulfista and the other is a socially prominent Panamanian and businessman on whom we will submit biographical data at a future date. (b) None of the people are paid. The subject of 1ZF-4-269 has been informed that we will defray any expenses which he may have incidental to our operations. HYDPACID has expressed a desire to have a savings or retirment fund cpened for him in the United States. This we have agreed to do and estimate that the cost will be about $100 to $150 per month.

  2. In view of the fact that subject contacted the Home Office prior to his departure from the United States, he is thoroughly cognizant of the ultimate destination of his information.

  3. Yes. In view of HYDRCL's experience in the intelligence field he has been given the assignment of supervising and controlling the activities of HYDRACID who has an excellent knowledge of the local situa- tien but lacks experience as an intelligence operative. This also serves to maintain EYDRACID's cover.

  4. Through letter drop. In addition frequent personal contacts take place between FYDRCL and the Chief of Station. These are usually at night at the homes of the individuals concerned. Cover is provided in that the Chief of Station and ETROL both have children attending the same school and the wives are acquainted sccially.

  5. Subject usually reports orally, accompanying his oral reports with brief notes. He is training the subject of TZP-4-269 and ZY-RACID to re- port in writing.

  6. During the 14 years subject has been in Panama, he has been principally concerned with establishing his own business. He has devoted only a srail percentage of his time to our wrk to date, however, since he is now better established and better oriented, it is contemplated that he will become more active.

  7. Contract with subject is oral. & written contract will be pre- pared at the time he is placed on our payroll.

  8. Yes. He is attempting a high-level penetration of the Partido del Pueblo. At the present tize, a foreign national who has been approached by HYDRACID is attempting to buy one of the Directors of the Partido del Pueblo.

  9. Subject is quite capable of using his own judgment on the sort of work he is to do. Since his time has been limited in the past, he has confined his activities to projects specifically requested by this Station.

PAYLENT

  1. Subject is a volunteer informant who is rewarded for his services by the occasional presentation of exchange commodities. Since subject does not have U. S. Government Commissary privileges, purchases on his behalf are rade by the Station. This results in approximately 60% reduction in the cost of necessities purchased in this manner.

  2. Ies. Salary arrangements have been discussed between HYDROL and the Chief of Station. We both agree that no salary should be paid until such time as he becomes more productive. It is contemplated that when we actually -2- SECRET AF 201 30999

SECRET start peyeont the figure will be something less than $150.00 a month and it will probably be placed into some sort of a savings account. This plan may be placed into effect at any time.

  1. Subject has been informed that we will defray all expenses incurred by him on our behalf.

  2. No cost of purchase of information is involved but he is author- ized to engage in this practice.

WALUATION OF SUBJECT'S WORK

  1. Subject appears to be a highly dependent individual. (a) The accuracy of his reports have been good. (b) From a security angle he is excellent.

  2. In view of subject's previous intelligence background, it is believed he is only suitable for semi-covert work.

  3. Subject is unquestionably a high-level operative and quite possibly might penetrate any of the local social or government circles, but again his background from China is such that it would probably be in- come to accomplish a penetration of any leftist organizations or foreign intelligence agencies.
