WASHINGTON. June 26--Participants in the June 17
raid on national Democratic party headquarters here had
direct links with the White House. Republican National
Committee. Central Intelligence Agency and fascistic or-
ganizations of Cubans living in the U.S.
Disclosures have linked an or-
ganization of veterans of the
Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba
with the White House and the
raid on the Democratic head-
quarters.
The tentacles can be glimpsed
of a long-term conspiracy to use
terrorist gangs and individuals
against "left-wing causes" in the
U.S.
The raid on Democratic party
headquarters-not at all a "left-
wing" organization-shows how
far this fascistic activity has
gone.
Ties with the fascistic ele-
ments in the military reserve
through the White House can be
discerned.
Trail of CIA
The trail of the CIA is visible
at all star cs of the operations
of these gangs. Members of the
Ex-Combatientes Cubanos de Fort
Jackson are reported to have
met. with "American friends" on
"direct action to combat what
they viewed as left-wing causes
in the U.S.," according to Tad
Szulc in the New York Times
June 2.2.
The blundered attempt to hug
Democratic party headquarters
and to photograph files has re-
vealed a festering cancer in the
White House.
When Nixon moved into the
White House lie brought with
him the baggage of the days
when he introduced the first
concentration camp bill in the
history of Congress and helped
create the period of McCarthy-
ism.
;McCord's links
James W. McCord, who was
held on $30,000 bond after his
arrest last Saturday, was at-that
time under contract as security
coordinator to the Committee
for Reelection of President Nix-
on headed by former Attorney
General John N. Mitchell and of
paredness, which is a part 'of
the Executive Office of the Pre-
sident. Its job is witchhunting,'
the hunting out of dissenters
and so-called "subversives" and
planning of measures to deal
with them. .
The Cubans, who were recruit-
ed for subversive activities
against Cuba, including the CIA-
organized invasion, have been
working with the United States
Military Reserve unit, which
operates under the Office of
Emergency Plans and Prepared-
ness in the White House.
Other direct links
These are not the only direct
links. The name of E. Howard
Hunt, Jr., was found in the ad-
dress books of two of the parti-
cipants in Saturday's raid. Hunt
is a former CIA agent, who
worked for it from ' 1949 to 1970.
lie was an associate -of "Frank
Bender" in the organization of
the Bay of Pigs invasion, and
has maintaind his connections
with former Cubans. Hunt was
a consultant at the White House
in 1971 and in 1972 until at least
March.
Two of-the participants in the
raid are connected with Amer-
itas, which is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the All-State In-
vestment Fund, S.A.. incorporat-
ed in Panama. Persons familiar
with the revelations of CIA
"fronts." through which funds
are channeled and activity con-
ducted, believe this setup has
the same foul smell.
At his Thursday press confer-
ence. Nixon did not denounce
the raid but confined his state-
ment to: "This kind of activity

electoral process or in our gov-
ernment process."
