                                                         22 November  1968


           MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Security

           SUBJECT              Herbert Itkin/Mario Brod et. al.




                   1. Reference is made to your instructions concerning this
           case and my attached memorandum concerning research on whether
           or not Itkin was ever, in fact, utilized by this Agency prior to his
           contacts with Brod.

                   2. All available sources in the Agency reflect no record of
           Itkin or of Philip Harbin, who was allegedly his case officer. Harbin
           has been checked both as a true name and as an alias. Although the
           name is not registered in the Agency, this of course does not mean
           that some Agency representative did not make this up and use it
           without telling anyone.

                   3. My visceral reaction is that Itkin is lying about his
           contacts with Mr. Dilles and Philip Harbin. However, since there
           appears to be a possibility of an extreme 'flap if Itkin gives the same
           story to the newspapers that he gave to Mr. Houston, I would recommend
           that, with the concurrence of Mr. Helms, Mr. Dulles be interviewed and
           asked if he remembers anything about this case.

                  4.  I also spoke with Harry Mason, x5231, in Finance who
          handles OS budgetary matters and is a personal acquaintance. Without
          giving him any names I asked him if it would be possible to track down
          the receipt that Itkin claims he gave Harbin for the $5000. 00. Harry
          says if the case was handled properly and the account is still outstanding
          it will be fairly easy to find the receipt. I have done nothing further on
          this, pending your instructions.
