EXCELLENT Research on LHO & Ruth Hyde Paine [and family] - Linda Minor

[Tom Scully]

.................

.............................
Ruth Paine is to be encountered to be challenged, not petted, stroked, and flattered. Did Bill ask her how well she got to know her parents' close friend who was rooming in her parents' house in New York in the 1930's, and dining with them in the 1950's?
Mike did not want Ruth to be on the WC record as principal correspondent with Robert Webster's employer, Rand's friend, Frederick T Merrill at the State Dept.:

What is new? .................... Bookbinder's company of 1955, in the business of distributing films in Europe, featured as its V.P. a man who had been FDR's official steno,
leaving the White House in 1941 for a position as assistant to the president of our H. James Rand's father's company, Remington Rand.

Bookbinder's friend Blatnik had married a citizen of the German Reich employed after WWII in Frankfurt in the film business, just as Bookbinder was.

Blatnik was enlisted by John Shaheen to rehabilitate William Casey's reputation. Robert E. Webster sure knew how to pick who to work for, and lest we forget
Rand and Shaheen got along well with Drew Pearson's wife's brother Dan Moore or that Shaheen's sister was the wife of Hugh Downs, or that the birthplace of both
Reagan and John Shaheen, three years apart, is Tampico, IL., Pop. 600, or that Elroy Mccaw ended up succeeding H James Rand as chairman of Rand Development Corp.!

Mark, adding to my last post.....IMO opinion there is much more here than meets the "eye"! It appears George Bookbinder and Henry Kannee
were profiting from partnering with U.S. intel psy-ops via their American film export to eastern and western European countries....

George H Bookbinder was plugged in when he transitioned from OSS into a lead in establishing a film export business. Was he still taking guidance in
full cooperation with US intel psy ops when Robert E Webster went to Moscow to represent Rand Development Corp. at the science fair?

Eric Johnston (1896-1963) was an American businessman, president of both the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the Chamber of Commerce as well as being a US government envoy to the Soviet Union. He was also, it seems, a CIA asset. 11 documents from the CIA's archives detail how when he went to the Soviet Union and met Premier Nikita Kruschev, and when he hosted ambassador Stanislav Menshikov and old-school Soviet Anastas Mikoyan in the US, he provided information to the Agency. He also appears to have been good friends with none other than Allen Dulles, as several letters between them containing trivial, and not-so-trivial, information demonstrate.
In particular in his role as president of the MPAA (from 1945 until his death in 1963) Johnston implemented reforms that helped the US gain a larger proportion of the film export market, for example in negotiating with the British government to end a tax on importing US motion pictures. This is in keeping with the OSS's plans for weaponising the motion picture industry detailed here.....
