MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Rockefeller Commission Contact
Mason Cargill told me today that the reference
in the Commission report to an employee who was fired
because he abused a defector came from a deposition by
Dick Helms. Helms could not remember an exact name,
but from the description which he gave on his deposition,
it is clear that the employee who was fired was John
Torpats. He was discharged by Allen W. Dulles in 1960.
To pats, himself a Lithuanian refugee, was working
in th                           in Frankfort, Germany.
In the .course of interrogating another Lithuanian
defector, Torpats beat him. After Torpats was fired,
he sued the Director (then McCone). He lost the case.
