A retired high-ranking, Federal official has con-
fided to WO that during the Batista regime in
Cuba, vast amounts of American small arms were
smuggled to Fidel Castro. And while this anony-
mous official was investigating this flagrant viola-
tion of the Neutrality Act, CIA Director Allen
Dulles, suddenly intervened and brought pressure
to kill the investigation. All records and evidence
adduced were ordered burned. Ironically, a man
involved in the Castro arms smuggling conspiracy
was in Dallas on the day that President John F.
Kennedy was assassinated. Serving as a member
of the Warren Commission, Allen Dulles averted
a probe of this suspect's activities at that time.
This is one of the biggest, unsolved mysteries
of the Central Intelligence Agency.
