RE:
SPECIAL INVESTIGATION - SHIRLEY BASILE, W/F, Age 25
2833 St. Charles Avenue
In reference to your instructions on first memorandum
dated January 6, 1967, Miss Basile wãs asked by investigators
how she knew that Banister did some work for Lincoln Rockwell:
She stated that she remembered there was a file on Lincoln
Rockwell and she was under the impression that Banister was doing
some type of work+ for him. The nature of the work was unknown
to her. She said that Mr. Banister was a staunch conservative.
As far as feelings for J. F. K., she didn't really know.
She has never seen Rockwell or anyone connected with
the American Natzi Party while she was employed with Banister.
Someone could have come in who belonged to that organization,
but she wouldn't have known it.
Miss Basile stated that she remembers Sergio or Acacha
Smith from coming into Banister's office. She said that Mr.
Banister was doing some work for him but doesn't know what type
of work he was doing. She had no access to his files. This was
in 1961. She stated she might be able to identify Smith from a
photo, she is not really sure.
In reference to Hugh Ward she states that Mr. Banister
hired Hugh Ward, a real young fellow who worked mostly on domes-
tic cases such as divorces and separations, while she was employed
there. He worked there six to eight months. She states that
Hugh Ward lived in Covington and commuted back and forth.
In reference to Cosmos Shipping Company investigators
stopped there and spoke to Mr. Artego who is a white male
possibly 21 years of age who stated that Cosmos Shipping Company
operates out of New Orleans, New York, and Chicago. They are
an import-export company. Mr. Artego further stated that Manuel
Gonzales might have worked in the New York or Chicago office
but he has never worked in the New Orleans branch.
