Thereafter Oswald informed national headquarters that he had opened
post office box No. 30061, and that against its advice he had decided
“to take an office from the very beginning”; he also submitted copies
of a membership application form and a circular headed “Hands Off
Cuba!” which he had had printed, and informed the headquarters that he
intended to have membership cards for his chapter printed, which he
subsequently did.[C6-430] He wrote three further letters to the New
York office to inform it of his continued activities.[C6-431] In one
he reported that he had been evicted from the office he claimed to
have opened, so that he “worked out of a post office box and by useing
street demonstrations and some circular work * * * sustained a great
deal of interest but no new members.”[C6-432]
Oswald did distribute the handbills he had printed on at least
three occasions.[C6-433] Once, while doing so, he was arrested and
fined for being involved in a disturbance with anti-Castro Cuban
refugees,[C6-434] one of whom he had previously met by presenting
himself as hostile to Premier Castro in an apparent effort to
gain information about anti-Castro organizations operating in New
Orleans.[C6-435] When arrested, he informed the police that his
chapter had 35 members.[C6-436] His activities received some attention
in the New Orleans press, and he twice appeared on a local radio
program representing himself as a spokesman for the Fair Play for Cuba
Committee.[C6-437] After his return to Dallas, he listed the FPCC as an
organization authorized to receive mail at his post office box.[C6-438]
