AIR MAIL
In the issue of "El Mundo" newspaper published June 15, 1960 at San Juan,
'Puerto Rico, I read a very insteresting article dealing with the use of
telepathy for obtaining factual and security information relative to the
external operations and movements of foreign groups negative to our Demo-
cractic Government.
In Fact, this is a branch of psychology dealing with the extra sensorial
powers of the individual which have interested me always, I have studied and
have been experimenting for a long time in a scientific manner.
There are natural born "sensitives" which can be used on the spot in con-
nection with this program and they may be developed more widely with the use
of other standard or sicientific patterns.
Others, may be developed, which do not prosent sensitive characteristics but
6vho have the telepathic features latent.
Physical health, mental capacity, well being and particularly psychological
health are conditions inherent of a well developed sensitive.
I have experienced that "sensitives" from tropical areas respond much better:
In fact they have a more developed telepathic structure and are more receptive
otherwise; particularly daring the summer season as there is more electricity
in the "air" mental waves travel freely thus becoming receptive in the tele-
pathic channel, or mental apparatus.
The sensitive groups should be stationed as near as possible to the "spot"
areas. Distant concentration is jeopardized by the presence of multiple
'band waves constantly crossing the ether, thus causing interference.

We have reached a point of development in safe practices which through tele-
pathy would be "spy proof" and with less dollar expense.
Please excuse me if I have been mentioning something that you know already, but
in Puerto Rico there are lots of sensitivess people with high academic background
willing to operate.......
I have taken the liberty of writing your agency, just becausel like peace and
that we as human beings do the best to unite the world.
