to Russia, Oswald had been surrounded by markedly anti-Communist
Russian exiles in Dallas so that, with the assassination coming

time, that he was a trouble maker who had once "defected" to
Russia. It would not have been difficult for the older men
around him in New Orleans to induce him to such action by
convincing him that he was helping to "penetrate" the pro-Castro
group (which actually had no members in New Orleans) known as
"Fair Play for Cuba, " headquarters which was in New York.
