Quote from Tosh Plumlees book: DEEP COVER, SHALLOW GRAVES ---
"The Municipal Building is also where Oswald requested that the operator place two calls to phone numbers in North Carolina the night before he was killed. Around a quarter to ten Alveeta A. Treon arrived for her shift at the telephone switchboard. Treon was there to relieve her co-worker, Louise Swinney, who had been given orders by their supervisor to assist two men in listening to a call that would come through their switchboard. Treon assumed the men were Secret Service. She suspected that Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin who was being held there, would be making another call. He had already phoned his Russian wife, Marina, and an ACLU lawyer in New York. This call was treated differently. Oswald rang the switchboard at a quarter till 11, Dallas Time. Swinney took the call and scribbled Oswald’s information as the two self-proclaimed Secret Service men listened in. “I was dumbfounded at what happened next,” Treon later told a Senate investigator. “Swinney told [Oswald], ‘I’m sorry, the number doesn’t answer.’ Swinney then unplugged and disconnected Oswald without ever really trying to put the call through.
Afterward, Swinney tore the sheet from her notepad and threw it into the trash. When her shift ended, she left. Treon retrieved the wadded piece of paper from the trash and copied the information onto a standard long-distance telephone call slipp was a souvenir. The slip Oswald had given Treon two phone numbers and a name associated with one of them – “John Hurt” and “Raleigh N.C.” A decade later independent researcher Michael Canfield secured a copy of the slip, while conducting research for his book Coup d’Etat in America. When Canfield called and spoke to John Hurt of Raleigh, NC, Hurt said he didn’t know Oswald, but also revealed, “I was in the counterintelligence corps in the Army during World War II.” In an interview with JFK researcher and university dean Walter Proctor, Victor Marchetti – the 14-year CIA veteran who had served as executive assistant to Deputy Director Richard Helms – said that in calling Hurt, Oswald was clearly following standard procedure for a CIA asset under duress. “[Oswald] was probably calling his cut-out. He was calling somebody who could put him in touch with his case officer,” Marchetti told Proctor. “He couldn’t go beyond that person. There’s no way he could. He just had to depend on this person to say, ‘OK, I’ll deliver the message.’ Now, if the cut-out has already been alerted to cut him off and ignore him, then …” Marchetti was absolutely correct. As an operative that’s exactly the same procedure I would have followed.
But Marchetti, Proctor, Canfield and others all seemed to have forgotten the second number Oswald was trying to reach that night. It belonged to CIA operative Edward Gibbons Moore II, who was the manager of the Nags Head Casino. The casino in the ‘50s and ‘60s was operating as a CIA cut-out base. All of us operatives who were trained at the School of Illusionary Warfare had that number and knew to call Moore if we drank too much and got arrested or had another kind of run-in with law enforcement. We’d call Ed Moore and he would arrange to have the problem taken care of.
Oswald was trying to enlist Moore’s help the night before he died, but the call was never placed. The two men posing as Secret Service agents made sure of that. The Nags Head casino was later used to house Cuban survivors of the Bay of Pigs. In the ‘70s when Moore was called to testify before the Church Committee and started to spill the beans about Nags Head and his activities, the government accused and found him guilty of trying sell documents to the Soviet Union. (I refer you to the May 5, 1977 article by Robert Meyers in the Washington Post - https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1977/05/06/moore-guilty-of-trying-to-sell-ciafiles/e7987987-a9f0-434f-b8ce-55601f215fa9/) It was their way of discrediting Moore.
