Mr. Weissman.

Well this was rather a fiasco. Larrie's brother, as I mentioned in the letter--Larrie's brother went to work for General Walker.

Mr. Jenner.

What was his name?

Mr. Weissman.

I don't know his first name. But Larrie led me to believe his brother was some guy brother is about 29. And the only thing I ever heard from Larrie about his brother was good; and when he mentioned that his brother had joined the Walker organization, I figured this is another step in the right direction. In other words, he was solidifying his argument as to why I should come to Dallas.

Mr. Jenner.

And this what he told you?

Mr. Weissman.

Right So when I got to Dallas, I found that Larrie's brother drank too much, and had--well I considered him a moron. He didn't have any sense at all. He was very happy with $35 a week and room and board that General Walker was giving him as his chauffeur and general aide. And so I tossed that out the window that we would never get into the Walker organization this way.

Mr. Jenner.

This man's name, by any chance, was not Volkmar?

Mr. Weissman.

This name is entirely unfamiliar to me. Never heard it before.
Senator COOPER. Could you identify the Walker organization? You keep speaking of the Walker organization.

Mr. Weissman.

General Edwin Walker.

Mr. Jenner.

General Edwin A. Walker?

Mr. Weissman.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you ever meet him?

Mr. Weissman.

No: I never have.

Representative Ford.

How did you infiltrate the Young Americans for Freedom, and what led you to believe you had been successful?

Mr. Weissman.

Well Larrie had been named executive secretary of the Dallas chapter of the Young Americans for Freedom. And another man--his name is in one of these letters somewhere I don't recall it offhand--who was brought into CUSA by Larrie. was named chairman or vice chairman--vice chairman. And the only other move that we had to make in order to take control of Dallas Young Americans for Freedom would have been to get rid of the chairman, who was anti-Larrie Schmidt. He was absolutely no help to us. And this was on its way to accomplishment. But for some reason or another, there was some sort of an argument. I am still not clear on what happened. I wasn't there. I just can take it secondhand from Larrie.
A friend of Larrie's had come to Dallas--this was Larry Jones. another partner in----

Mr. Jenner.

He is mentioned in some of these interviews. Did you meet Larry Jones?

Mr. Weissman.

I didn't meet him in Dallas; no. He was gone before I got there. But Larry had come to Dallas, he had stayed a few weeks, had made friends with these people and I had advocated many and many a time---I saw through Larry the first time I met him---is to get rid of this guy, because he was not going to do us any good.

Mr. Jenner.

You did meet Jones?

Mr. Weissman.

In Army yes.

Mr. Jenner.

You met Larry Jones in the Army?

Mr. Weissman.

Yes We were all on the same post.

Mr. Jenner.

Mr. Chairman if you will permit, I would like to go back to that at this moment.

Representative Ford.

Surely.

Mr. Jenner.

This was another man. You hadn't mentioned him before.

Mr. Weissman.

I didn't? I thought I did.

Mr. Jenner.

What rank was he?

Mr. Weissman.

SP-4 Specialist-4.

Mr. Jenner.

That wasn't the company clerk?

Mr. Weissman.

No. Larry worked for headquarters. He was in communications---the scramblers and so forth.

Mr. Jenner.

Seeking to scramble broadcasts?
