STRIP TEASE gists. The episode of Mr. Rumsey is another ludicrous attempt by the UMMO source to link its own disclosures with the shadowy and pre- 105 mark had stayed from 1952 to February 1954 doing experiments in the house of Mrs. Margarita Ruiz de Lihory y Resino. Clearly, anyone can write to the CIA in an attempt to scare impressionable friends. But the descriptions in the letter had some reality. The woman did exist.

Delusion or not, in May 1971 a man calling himself Mr. W. Rumsey, suspected of being a CIA agent and staying in Room 402 of the Emperador Hotel in Madrid, wrote a circular letter to Albacete citizens offering $1000 for information enabling him to locate the two biolo-
