Dr. Edgar Lowell, a contact of ours at the John Tracy    Clinic, 806. W. Adams Blvd., Los Angeles 7, California, where a    great deal of electronic research is carried on concerning deaf-    ness, has advised us that he has been nominated as the Program    Chairman for the International Congress on Education of the Deaf,    which will be held in June 1963. The host for this Conference will    be the Council on Education of the Deaf and the Congress will be held    at Gallaudet College, Washington, D.C. The Coordinator for this    International Congress will be Dr. Powrie V. Doctor of Gallaudet    College, who will be working with the State Department on this par-    ticular Congress.2.  As Chairman of the Program Committee, Dr. Lowell will be    required to go to Europe to attend a meeting of a similar European    group planning their annual congress for about the same time, and    will visit Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, England and Scandinavia    to check on attendees. There is a possibility that he will also go    to Yugoslavia at the same time.3.  As a side-line it is also possible that Dr. Lowell will go    to Moscow where he will visit Prof. E.N. Sokolov, Institute of De-    fectology, Pogodina Str 8, Moscow G-117, USSR. Prof. Sokolov is    well-known and has been active in previous Macey Conferences in    which Dr. Aldrich and Jack Ford have been interested. We have re-    ported through Dr. Lowell on both Sokolov and Prof. A. R. Luriya,    and continuing correspondence between Sokolov and Dr. Lowell has    also been reported.4.  The Soviets will be invited to this Congress and if the    present cordial re'ationship still exists unaltered by world events,    no doubt Sokolov and/or others will certainly be interested if not    attend this meeting.5.  Enclosed is a rough outline of the program Dr. Lowell is    responsible for which, of course, is still in the formative stage.    Also copy of the original letter announcing the Congress    is attached.6.  We would be interested in-knowing your degree of interest    in this particular matter, and entertain any suggestions you might    have towards working with Dr. Lowell.ERNST LEIBACHERAttach: Outline of ProgramAnnouncement letterBaldwin/b

CONFIDENTIALChief, Contact DivisionChief, Wilmington Office20 November 1957HO: 57-402Joseph Kovago, Ex-Mayor of BudapestАТТИ: KR/USSR Branch A663771. Upon reading an article appearing in a Wilmington daily newspaper (copy attached), J. Jacobs visited ex-mayor of Budapest Joseph Kovago and got the following information:2. "Ex-Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Nagy was asked by the Free Europe Committee to form a new Hungarian Committee which will replace the two committees now in existence. The new committee is being formed because the Free Europe Committee wishes to economize and representation from several Hungarian political parties is wanted."3. "Since I do not dare correspond with friends and relatives in Hungary and the US government is interested in current information on Hungary, I think I can give the name of an individual who is living in Vienna and is truly an 'operator.' His name is Dr. Thamas Pasztor. I believe he can be useful to the US because I recommended him for the purpose of gathering information on Hungary to Mr. David Martin of the International Rescue Committee. Most of the information gathered by Pasztor was used by IRC in reports on Hungary to the United Nations."4. "Pasztor's address is I. Jakobergasse 4.III.18, Vienna, Austria, telephone 522-0-455. I am able to give the following biographic data on Pasztor: aged 46, divorced, official of the Pfeiffer Party after he was kicked out of the Smallholders Party, arrested for anti-Communist activities in 1948 or 1949, He was convicted and sentenced to death which was later commuted to life imprisonment. He was in the same political prisons with me at Vac and the Gyuto prison in Budapest."5. "While in prison he was a 'double-dealer' and most prisoners liked him but distrusted him. He seemed to be able to find out about all news both inside and outside the prison. He was released from prison during the destalinisation period and escaped to the West during the revolution."CONFIDENTIAL

Chief, Contact Division -2- 57-4026. "He has been sending typewritten news reports on Hungary to several individuals in the US and Europe. I have received copies in both Hungarian and English. I sent the English copy to Mr. David Martin, IRC in New York. He does not charge for the service, but I remember seeing some of his news items in Hungarian newspapers after receiving his report. Pastor tells me that he is in financial straits and asked that I try to help him find someone who could use his service."7. The 15 June 1957 issue is titled 'Picture of the Hungarian Situation' and it covers information on (a) General Situation; (b) Internal Politics; (c) The Terror, Public Opinion, Resistance; (d) Military Situation; (e) People's Economy, Industry and Agriculture; and (f) Miscellaneous news.8. "I cannot vouch for his sincerity or loyalty but I would say that about 95% of him is good and the remaining 5% of him is questionable."9. Enclosed for your retention is the above-mentioned news issue and you can use it for what it is worth.

F 5564INTERNATIONAL RESCUE COMMITTEE255 Fourth AvenueNew York 10, N.Y.October 4, 1957Mr. James MacCrackenTolstoy Foundation, Inc.989 Eighth AvenueNew York, N. Y.Dear Mr. MacCracken:I thought you would like to know that the International Rescue Committee has organised a Commission of distinguished Americans who will visit Europe to investigate the refugee situation and issue a report on their return. We envision that the Commission's report would highlight the following factors.1.  The conditions and needs of those Forgotten Men who have been sitting in refugee camps for years or who are inadequately resettled outside of camps. A portion of the report will be devoted to the Hungarian refugees who are still in camps.2.  Make specific and general recommendations as to what can be done in the future to meet the needs of the "Forgotten Men".Aside from highlighting the factors just mentioned, we feel that the Commission's report can serve, among others, the following constructive purposes.1.  By dramatising and humanizing the problems of European Escapees, we believe that the Commission can help to create a climate of public opinion conducive to:a. More generous support for U.S. programs concerned with the refugees, both private and governmental.b. More flexible immigration legislation.2.  The report of the commission will, of course, incorporate information from the survey now being prepared by the UNHCR. Indeed, we feel that the Commission can be of great assistance to the UNHCR by bringing his report and the refugee situation in general to the attention of the American

Enclosed you will find their tontative schodule and a list of Commission members as of this date, In addition to the odoorvations of the Commission, their final report vill, of course, also represent intensivo ressarch on the part of our staff.We have asked our overseas representativos, in the countries which the Commission will be visiting, to provide at least one opportunity for representatives of your organization to coot with the Commission if they wish se do so.

Following is information which may be deemed derogatory in one case and of intelligence interest in the other.2. A usually reliable source reported in September 1951 that Bubject, then the director of the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees and an official at the British Foreign Office, accompanied the High Commissioner to Italy on his first unofficial trip in July 1951. Source stated that Subject was not at all tactful in his dealings with Italian officials and thus he met passive resistance. Furthermore, acting on behalf of the Commissioner and very eager to put at once as many British egouts as possible into positions under the Commissioner's cover, Subject appointed Marvel אס EKAR, Chairman of the International Refugee Organization (IRO) Review Board, to the position of representative in Italy. According to Source, this annoyed Prince DEL DRAGO, Italian envcy to IRD in Genova, Switserland, who stated that as long as IRU was functioning, there would be no other refugee representative working in Italy and that, after all, the Commissioner had to be first recognised by the Government.

Peter Whild reports that subject has injected himself into the affairs of American Friends of Vietnam in a manner which he considers to be suspiciously like that of an intelligence agent. Since the subject is a former British subject but now a naturalized citizen, he poses the question to whether he might not be a long-term British agent. Peter reports that subject is seeing Duc-Phoonb regularly and is a close friend of Prince bah-hoi. Subject was a friend of President Diem when he was in this country.2.  Subject has stated that he has money which he wants to invest in Vietnam. His present occupation is that of button manufacturer with which he has had considerable success.3.  We admit that this is a little bit like seeing a bogey-man behind every bush but are a little curious as to the prospects for button manufacturing in Vietnam. We are only passing this on for what it is worth, which is probably not much.Charles A. LeaCC:Major:dy
