Anti-CIA charges
Castro murder ‘considered’
WASHINGTON (AP) — High-
level intelligence officials in the
Kennedy administration discussed
plans to assassinate Cuban Premier
Fidel Castro, according to a former
CIA official.
Richard Bissell, who directed the
agency’s covert foreign operations
from 1959 to 1962, said Monday that
he told the Rockefeller Commission
investigating the CIA that the assas
sination of Castro “was considered .
. . but it wasn’t carried out.
According to Bissell, the scheme
was rejected by then-CIA director
Allen W. Dulles.
Bissell spoke to a reporter after
testifying before the commission.
Vice President Nelson A. Rock
efeller, head of the eight-member
panel investigating allegations of
CIA domestic wrongdoing, de
clined to confirm Bissell’s tes
timony.
Instead, the vice president re
peated earlier statements that the
commission would investigate al
leged assassination plots only if they
violated domestic statutes.
As Bissell recounted it, his tes
timony appeared to support state
ments made by a variety of persons
about CIA plots against Castro.
Most recently, convicted Water
gate burglar Frank Sturgis said in a
interview with the New York Daily
News that he was part of a CIA plot
to assassinate Castro in 1960. Stur
gis said the attempt was never made
because officials in Washington
“couldn’t make up their minds.”
Bissell, who resigned as deputy
CIA director for plans following the
Bay of Pigs, said he did not know
whether President Kennedy was
aware of the CIA discussions about
killing Castro.
Informed sources say that the
Rockefeller commission is inves
tigating whether the CIA withheld
information from the Warren
Commission during that panel’s in
vestigation into the assassination of
President Kennedy. Reports have
suggested that the CIA may have
resisted furnishing information to
the Warren Commission in an effort
to cover up CIA involvement in
plots on Castro’s life.
In the latest of its series of Sturgis’
revelations about the CIA, the
Daily News reported today that re
nowned ballerina Margot Fonteyn
was arrested by South American au
thorities, and she and her husband
were investigated by the CIA in
1959 in connection with a bizarre
plan to invade Panama.
Movie stars John Wayne and the
late Errol Flynn also were men
tioned and investigated in the al
leged plot but they were found not
linked to it.
Sturgis told the News the Panama
invasion plot was dreamed up by
William Morgan, an Ohio-born ad
venturer who became a major in
Castro’s army.
The conspirators planned to over
throw the Panamanian government
and grab the canal, after blocking it
with a sunken ship, “for propaganda
and extortion reasons,” it was said.
Aiding in the scheme were Dame
Margot and her husband, Roberto
Arias, former Panamanian ambas
sador to Britain and the son of a
former president of Panama, the
story said. The couple was assigned
to bury arms and munitions on a
beach, so they would be available to
the plotters, according to the News.
Estimate of gas reserves
in South Texas run high
HOUSTON (AP) — World Oil
magazine reported Tuesday that
preliminary estimates of natural gas
reserves discovered in new South
Texas fields south of Laredo run as
high as 10 trillion cubic feet.
The publication said at least 1,000
wells will be needed to develop the
3,000 square mile region in which
five new gas fields have been disco
vered in two years.
“Seventeen operators, including
majors and independents, are pro
ducing or drilling more than 100
wells in the 100-mile strip along the
Rio Grande,” the magazine re
ported.
“Free market intrastate gas prices
up to $2 per 1,000 cubic feet are
continuing to accelerate drilling in
Webb and Zapata counties.
An article in the publication’s
$|ay edition said between 15 and 20
ifgs continue to seek reserves for
the Texas intrastate market.
“The area is far from being de
veloped, but preliminary reserves
estimates range from as low as one
to as high as 10 trillion cubic feet,”
the article said.
“This wide variation in estimates
reflects the complex geology in the
area, which has resulted in dry holes
being drilled in areas considered to
be proven.”
World Oil described the area’s
high rate of activity as “a text book
example of how the producing in
dustry responds to free market
prices which provide adequate in
centive to explore for hydrocarbon
reserves. ”
“If gas in the area were limited in
price, as is gas sold in interstate
commerce, it is extremely doubtful
whether the play would have de
veloped,” the article said.
There has been no official esti
mates of reserves. Industry sources
have been reluctant to discuss the
outlook except for general state
ments that the prospects, with full
development, are encouraging.
Worldwide, there are about 150
gas fields with reserves in excess of
one trillion cubic feet, including
about 50 in the United States. The
nation's largest field in reserve is the
Hugoton Basin in Kansas, Ok
lahoma and Texas with an estimated
72 trillion cubic feet.
World Oil said the area was
known to be productive 10 years ago
when the R. S. Nixon estate com
pleted the Malkoff No. 1, a Wilcox
geologic formation discovery with a
calculated open flow of 6.4 million
cubic feet of gas a day.
“However, the low gas prices of
that time could not support the ex
pense of drilling wells 5,000 to 7,000
feet deep nor the cost of fracturing
the tight Wilcox gas sand, ” the arti
cle said.
World Oil says the play is now
moving into high gear and that Lo-
Vaca Gas Gathering Co. already is
receiving about 85 million cubic feet
of gas a day from wells on produc
tion.
Good Hope Refineries recently
completed a 20-inch pipe line to
Corpus Christi where it will be tied
into an ammonia plant under con
struction.
