                                .      18 June 1976


   MEMORANDUM FOR:  Chief, Security Analysis Group

   SUBJECT          STURGIS,.Frank Anthony
                    AKA:  FIORINI, Frank.
                    SF#353 459*


         1.  As you are aware, Frank Anthony STURGIS, one of the
   convicted Watergate burglars, has repeatedly and falsely claimed
   affiliation with this Agency.  Attached to instant hemorandum
   are copies of two articles from the NewYork  Daily News by Paul
   MESKIC, dated circa April 1975 and l3Tune  1976, specitying
   .that one Marie LORENZ was involved with Frank STURGIS and Alex
   RORKE in 1959/1960-in anti-CASTRO activities.  Furthermore, the
   articles again allege that STURGIS and RORKE were acting on
   behalf of this Agency., The 13 June 1976 article further alleges
   Marie LORENZ has claimed that at the direction of STURGIS and
   RORKE  (and the Agency and the FBI) in 1960 she went to Cuba to
   poisoh- -CASTRO. The poison was-given to her by STURGIS. In the
   first article Marie LORENZ alleges that E. Howard HUNT, known
   to her as Eduardo was the paymaster for STURGIS and RORICE.
   HUNT has publicly claimed not knowing STURGIS until at least
   the late 1960's.

         2.  -Alex RORKE Ji& identical with Alexander I..-RORKE, Jr.
    (SF#427 955), was a free-lance writer, photographer, andsoldier
    of fortune who disappeared in September 1963 while flying in
    Central America. There is no evidence in this file that RORKE
    was ever affiliated with.this Agency. There is evidence that
    RORKE was involved with STURGIS in anti-CASTRO activities in
    the early 1960's.

         -3. Relative to Marie LORENZ, initial Office of Security
   traces in this name .were negative in April 1975. Additional
   research relative to the June 1976 article has revealed a
   positive identification.  Composite information from the attach-
   ments would suggest that Marie LORENZ is of German father/
   American mother birth, born circa 1940; that her father was
   Heinrich LORENZ, a former German Navy Captain who in February
 * 1959 was the captain of a luxury liner Berlin; eMMA MaifA
