PATERNI member of OSS during WWII- worked with James Angleton and Ray Rocca (liaison to WC); involved in limousine inspection with Boring, beating Rowley and Kellerman---and the FBI--- to the punch (skull particles, bullet fragments, vehicle damage/ wind- shield); involved in LHO income tax check investigation right after assassination; checked on CIA connections of suspects Mosley and Homer Echevarria for the Chicago field office- matter was sum- marily dropped by a call from headquarters telling the field office agents who spoke to Paterni to send all memos, files, and notebooks to D.C. and not to discuss the case with anyone!;
This part is very interesting, imo.
Paterni, presumably close to Angleton, covered up Echevarria's embarrassing faux pas in Chicago. Sadly, Vince doesn't say who made that phone call from headquarters. Perhaps Rowley or Dillon? Whoever it was made the call after speaking to Paterni, and that's the kicker.
btw Bernice, do you know where Vince got this particular piece of info from? I couldn't find it in the footnotes. Might save me trawling through Vince's stuff at JFK place.
Has Vince updated since 2003? I trust he hasn't jumped the fence or anything.
