and it was issued by the Rev. KIRBY J. HENSLEY. Both BECKHAM,
according to LAVENDER, and LAVENDER, according to my observations,
seem to have made something of a fetish of carrying cards and
certificates of membership in various organizations. For
example, LAVENDER said that BECKHAM obtained for him an honorary
Attorney General's card from the State of Louisiana and he
displayed a card signed by the Attorney General apparently, JACK
P. F. GREMILLION and dated, however, May 13, 1964. This would
indicate that had BECKHAM actually obtained that card for
LAVENDER as he stated, LAVENDER would have had to know BECKHAM
several years prior to his admitted mee,ting of the man in a bar
in
Omaha.
LAVENDER states that BECKHAM now has broken away from the
United
note
Universal Life Church and started his own church organization
which he calls Universal Life Churches of America, Inc.
LAVENDER states that BECKHAM always appears to be without funds,
that he files various corporation papers for sundry people and
makes a living from the fees he charges therefor.
LAVENDER says that the time news of the Garrison investigation
into the Warren Commission first broke in February 1967 BECKHAM
told him that FERRIE was a pilot, a homosexual, he made fun of
FERRIE and said that he had had nothing to do with the assassination
but "You watch, he '11 be dead in a couple of weeks. BECKHAM
also told him, LAVENDER said, of the death of an Associated Press
reporter who died in bed in Georgia or Alabama late in 1965 or
early 1966, whom BECKHAM claimed was killed because fhis inside
knowledge of the assassination. However LAVENDER could not recall
the name of the reporter.
LAVENDER said BECKHAM told him he had assisted in establishing a
fund raising office with SERGIO ARCACHA and LOUIS RABEL in the
NewOrleans area for anti-castro activity.
LAVENDER describes FRED CRISMAN as 53 or 54 years of age, an
intellectual, gray haired, "somewhat of SHAW's type". approxima tely
5'9" to 10" in height, 175 to 180 pounds, wears glasses when
reading, owns an L(expensive) but limited wardrobe. He states that
CRISMAN is an extreme right winger who continuously writes anti-
Kennedy articles and essays apparently for publication in
magazines. He states that when BECKHAM was subpoenaed IOI Grand
Jury testimony, CRISMAN called him (LAVENDER) and said that he
would "kill BECKHAM if I am subpoenaed as a result of anything he
says -- not that I know anything about the conspiracy, of course.
"
LAVENDER quotes CRISMAN as having said that he made numerous trips
from minure Olympia Washington. to New Orleans and Dallas, that he made
a
numbar of trips with BECKHAM- to the Roosevelt Hotel Naw
Orleans fcc meetings, He states that CRISMAN has described himself
as being sadistic in sexual practice preferences.
LAVENDER states that ha has seen CRISMAN on an average of once
or
twice a weak during the year 1967 but kerlows of no particular
aircraft journeys CRISMAN has made during that period of cime.
