On September 24, 1964, the formation of the Citizens for a Free
Cuba Committee was announced. Ross Buckley was identified as
chairman. (Earlier, an E. Ross Buckley had run as a Republican
candidate for Mayor.) Cuthbert Brady was vice-chairman for public
relations, Mrs. Sidney Scoenburger vice-chairman for women, Arnesto
J. Rodriguez secretary, and Paul Lapeyre coordinator of student
groups. (NOTP; September 25, 1962; s 3, p 19)

In October, Cuthbert Brady proclaimed that "Alpha 66 is the only
group actually doing something about getting rid of Castro." He said
that agents of Alpha 66 were in N. O. A petition circulated by Brady
called for the "recognition of the existence of a state of hostilities
between Red Cuba and the U. S." and the "use of volunteers from this
nations and others to liberate Cuba." (NOTP; October 18, 1962; s 4, p
10) This, of course, was during the Cuban missile crisis.

Jack Frazier, owner of the Ryder Coffee House, in a February 26,
1968 interview with Garrison investigator Gary Sanders, said he had
attended meetings of a discussion group whose members were the
following: "KERRY THORNLEY, WILLIAM [CUTHBERT] BRADY, HELEN GLADSTONE
(a close friend of Brady's), JACK BURNSIDES and ROSS
BUCKLEY. (Memorandum dated March 6, 1968; p 134) Frazier said Brady
was a homosexual who was arrested on a morals charge and deported to
the Phillipines "around the same time as OSWALD's leaflet
distribution." Frazier reportedly said, "I think that Brady was
deported because the CIA wanted him out of town." (p 135)

David Graydon, who lived with William C. Brady from July to August
of 1962 and June to August of 1963, was interviewed by Sciambra on May
27, 1968. (Memorandum of May 27, 1968; p 776) Graydon said that Helen
Gladstone had some of Brady's papers, but she was also a personal
friend of Clay Shaw (and thus unlikely to be helpful to Garrison's
investigation). Brady was also said by Graydon to have known Clay
Shaw. Two other Shaw-Brady acquaintances were said to be "LEKLA FREA
and VERNON KELLOGG." Graydon also claimed to have been told that Lee
Harvey Oswald had attended two parties in Brady's apartment. (pp
776-7)
