APPENDIX
FAIR PLAY FOR CUBA COMMITTEE
The April 6, 1960, edition of "The New York Times" newspaper contained a full-page advertisement captioned "What Is Really Happening In Cuba," placed by the Fair Play for Cuba Committee (FPCC). This advertisement announced the formation of the FPCC in New York City and declared the FPCC intended to pro-mulgate "the truth about revolutionary Cuba" to neutralize the distorted American press. .
"The New York Times" edition of January 11, 1964., reported that at a hearing conducted before the United States Senate Internal Security Subcommittee on January 10, 1961, Dr. Charles A. Santos-Buch identified himself and Robert Taber as organizers of the FPCC. He also testified he and Taber obtained funds from the Cuban Government which were applied toward the cost of the afore-mentioned advertisement.
On May 16, 1963, a source advised that during the first two years of the FPCCIs existence there was a struggle between Communist Party (CP) and Socialist Workers Party (SWP) elements to exert their power within the FPCC and thereby influence FPCC policy. However, during the past year this source observed there has been a successful effort by FPCC leadership to minimize the role of these and other organizations in the FPCC so that today their influence is negligible.
On May 20, 1963, a second source advised that the National Headquarters of the FPCC is located in Room 329 at 799 Broadway, New York City. According to this source, the position of National Office Director was created in the Fall of 1962 and was filled by Vincent "Ted" Lee, who now formulates FPCC policy. This source observed Lee has followed a course of entertaining and accepting the cooperation of many other organizations including the CP and the SWP when he has felt it would be to his personal benefit as well as the FPCC1 s, How-ever, Lee has indicated to this source he has no intention of permitting FPCC policy to be determined by any other organization. Lee feels the FPCC should advocate resumption of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States and support the right of Cubans to manage their revolution without interference from other nations, but not support the Cuban revolution per se..
The CP and the SWP have been designated pursuant to Executive Order 10450.

CORLISS LAMONT
On September 28, 1953, Louis F. Budenz testified before the United States Senate Permanent
Investigations Subcommittee that Earl Browder, as bead of the Communist Party (CP) in the United States,
had referred to Corliss Lamont as one of the "four
prides" of the CP because Corliss Lamont was ready
to cooperate with any Communist front or any Communist
cause. Browder made this reference at a National
Committee meeting of the CP in the early 1940's.
Budenz also recalled that Lamont was a member of the CP when he, Budenz, was a member.
"Rights", self-identified as a publication
of the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee (ECLC) April - May, 1962 issue, reveals Corliss Lamont is
Vice-Chairman of the ECLC.

EMERGENCY CIVIL LIBERTIES COMMITTEE
The "Guide to Subversive Organizitions-and Publications," revised and published as of December 1, 1961, prepared and released by the Committee on Un-American Activities, United States House of Represent-atives, Washington, D.C., contains the following con-cerning the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee:
"Emergency Civil Liberties Committee
"1. 'The Emergency Civil Liberties Committee is an organization with headquarters in New York, whose avowed purpose is to abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities and discredit the FBI. * * * The committee finds that the Emergenay. Civil Liberties Committee, established in 1951, although representing itself as a non-Communist group, actually operates as a front for the Communist Party. It has repeatedly assisted, by means of funds and legal aid, Communists involved in Smith Act violations and similar legal proceedings. One of its chief activities has been and still is the dissemination of voluminous Communist propaganda material.°
'FRANK WILKINSON was called as a witness when he appeared in Atlanta as a represent-ative of the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee to propagandize against the Committee on Un-American Activities and to protest its hearings. In 1956 WILKINSON was identified as a Communist Party member by a former FBI undercover agent within the party. Summoned at that time to answer the allegation, his reply to all questions was, "I am answering no questions of this committee." This also became his stock reply to questions when he appeared during the Atlanta hearings. * * * WILKINSON has since been convicted of contempt of Congress and sentenced to one year in jail.'

APPENDIX
EMERGENCY CIVIL LIBERTIES COMMITTEE (CONT1D)
'Disputing the non-Communist claim of the organization, the committee finds that a number of other individuals connected with the ECLC also have been identified under oath as Communists.
41. (Committee on Un-American Activities, Annual Report for 1958, House Report 187, March 9, 1959, pp. 34 and 35•)
'To defend the cases of Communist Law-breakers, fronts have been devised making special appeals in behalf of civil liberties and reaching out far beyond the confines of the Communist Party itself. Among these organizations are the * * * Emergency Civil Liberties Committee.- When the Communist Party itself is under fire these fronts offer a bulwark of protection.' (Internal Security Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Handbook for Americans, S. Doc. 117, April 23, 1956, p. 91.)"

This document contains neither recommendations ncr conclusions of the FBI. It is the prs,perty of the FBI and is loaned to your agency; it and its contents are not to be distributed outside your agency.
The fqllowing information was furnished by
Attorney ARTURteALCOCER-RUIZ, Calle Masarik #51,
Mexico, D.P., Mexico,: telephones 45-10-26 and 45-42-19
furnished may possibly involve JACK UBY and his sister on November 27, 1963. ALCOCER feel that the information
or both as conspirators in the assasination of President
JOHN F. KENNEDY on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas:
ALCOCER and his wife, DOLORES'AHEDO DE7ALCOCER, and her friend, MARIA LUISk-42EON, departed Mexico City on
November 20, 1963, aboard Braniff Flight #50 destined for
San Antonio where they intended to rest. ALCOCER's
daughter had been killed when run over by a car in Mexico
City on November 1, 1963, and this was the reason for the
trip. His Mexican Passport No. 51035 and his wife's
Passport No. 51034 were stamped with U.S. entry on
November 20, 1963, and re-entry into Mexico on November 26,
1963. The ALCOCERS arrived in San Antonio on November 20,
1963 (Wednesday), and could get no hotel room in any of
the major downtown San Antonio hotels so they spent the
night at the Sea Winds Hotel on Commerce Street. On the
morning of November 21, 1963, they checked in at the
Gunter Hotel in Room 1002. Shortly after 9 A.M. on November 21, 1963, they departed the Gunter Hotel for
a shopping tour and as they left the hotel they saw
a very fat woman-wearing glasses, green cotton dress,
age 50, about 5 1 7" tall and weighing possibly as much

as 200 pounds with low bust and hair dyed blonde. The fat woman was standing in front of Carl's Store near the Gunter Hotel. They noticed her because of her extreme obesity. They thereafter went on to Joake's store and other locations in San Antonio shopping. They returned to the vicinity of the Gunter Hotel shortly after 1 P.M.. on 11-21-63 and started into the Manhattan Restaurant to have lunch. At this time they noticed that the fat woman was still standing at the same-location. At the same moment everyone on the street became excited because President JOHN KENNEDY was passing down the street in a Caravan so they returned to the sidewalk to watch the Presidential procession. The fat woman left the area after the Presidential procession and it appeared that she hdd been standing in the same place in front of Carl's store for several hours.
On November 22, 1963, following the assasination of President KENNEDY in Dallas, Texas, the ALCOCERS were watching the television programs and at about 6 P.M. following the apprehension of the subject, they were watching an interview of the manager of the guest house where the subject stayed and during the course of this interview, the television camera picked up the same fat woman they had seen iv San Antonio the previous day. All were in agreement on this. The fat woman was not inter-viewed at this time on television. Both ALCOCER and his wife, DOLORES, believe that the fat woman was at the guest house at the time the manager of the guest house was being interviewed on television and suspected she might have stayed as a guest at the same house where the subject stayed. On November 24, 1963,(Sunday), following the murder of the subject by JACK RUBY, they picked up a television program in which JACK RUBY'S sister was being interviewed and they identified her as the same fat woman they had seen in San Antonio on November 21, 1963, and who had been seen on-television during the interview of the manager of the subject's residence.
ALCOCER noted tha,ANITA RODRIGUEZ DE LOSANO, who is married to RAYMUNDO DgSLOSANO and who is the daughter of ALCOCERs good friends, FELIPENVDRIGUEZ and ANITPAPARCIA DE RODRIGUEZ, 3114 West Commerce Street, telephone CA6-8507, San Antonio, Texas, was with the ALCOCERS at the time they first saw the fat woman at San Antonio. Later, when the fat woman appeared on television, RODRIGUEZ called to say his daughter, ANITA, had identified the fat woman as being
