Lohengino Filipello from Lugano Radio visited Allen Dulles at his
home in Washington, D.C. in 1965.

Filipello described this encounter in a letter now available online.
The letter has been translated and, strangely, has the title "Events
of Day, Evening 30 Jan. 1960 (19-25)"

However Filipello includes his impressions of his visit with Dulles in
1965.

The man had been very much shaken by the Bay of Pigs.

....

At the same time, the Warren inquiry had left him a deep
disappointment. (He would not open up on this, we had asked him for an
interview on the topic.) He did not want to open up, but it had left
him deeply disappointed because from what I was able to sense, the
inquiry had not been conducted the way he would have wanted, in
accordance with those principles that had inspired his long career as
an able diplomat and canny strategist.

Mr. Know it all (and that isn't cynical) Dulles was an actor. He played
the interested fool at the his visit at the crime scene in Dallas. He
played the disappointed fool about the WCR.

BTW: I think he was dissapointed because the Ossi-cover didn't work
well. Today it aint works at all.
BTW.

To recognize what great actor Dulles was, one have to read Secret Team
by F. Prouty:

Her it is:

Perhaps continued study of his papers will reveal an answer.

They have just been released.

In time, I would imagine scholars who spend time reading all these
papers and studying his life will have an opportunity to answer your
question.

My first impression of reading the Dulles Papers is: he retired as DCI
in 1961. (Forced by JFK), but he remained as a central figur in the
world- wide network of the Secret Team. A Titel means nothing, for a
guy with such contacts and the power to move things behind the scene.
