o) Letter, dated 29 April, from A. IDEFAN, in Santiago, Chile, indicates that HALERIA may have asked the writer for help, possibly in finding a job. (A. IDEFAN is believed identical with Adolfo ISPAN, a suspected Communist and former employee of the United Nations who is now in Argentina JUFINALL and Fanny, his wife, were both born in the Soviet Union, but DOR HAN is believed to be a citizen of Argentina now.) The writer describes himself as a "well-known and uncompromising supporter of (President) FR MIIEI (of Argentina) and says that since the latter's election triumph he (the writer) has been "practically snowed under with requests for assistance, advice, etc." (It is believed that DAN did, in fact, accept a position as an adviser in the FF. NDIZI government.) The letter also enclosed a hand-written note, signed "Fanny."f) Letter, dated 9 May 1958, from Rob and Terry AHERS (aka Martin Robert RGERS and Teresa Soracco R CHES), in Venice, Italy, describes the Italian part of the RGERS' European tour. Two parts of the letter may be of significance. First, POLIS' comments on the Italian elections: "The CP is campaigning; vigorously and spending a lot of money. They and the Christian Democrats are the only ones you seem to feel. The local papers seem resigned to leftist gains, so the immediate future of Italy will depend in large part on the coalitions that NARI may be willing to form." Second, his "few random notes": "Just as many cops as in Manito's (MUSSOLINI'S) day. U.S. missile base straddles industrial Italy. U.S. army vehicles constantly on highways in this region (Turin Milan-Venice)." The letter also mentions the fact that the RiS were going on to Austria and Brussels after completing their tour of Italy.

# DISPATCHSECRETEMN-A-1115450-4-120-11 October 1958Spanish Civil War. He enjoys immigrant status in Mexico.D. Martin OVERGAARD, who was deported from the U.S. in 1950 as an undesirable alien, was another of the group who was picked up during this drive. He is listed by the Mexicans as a Dane.7. It is interesting to note that Excelsior, a reputable Mexican newspaper, commented that the major portion of group being detained were "pro-Soviet U.S. citizens, Europeans now naturalized Americans and some from Central and South America."8. LINED-1 reported that as of 11 September 1958 the American Communists in Mexico expected the arrests to cease very shortly. From LIFEAT it was learned that consternation existed among the group and that they had scattered to various places, in and around Mexico, after the first onslaught by the local authorities.9. According to various newspaper articles the following persons were marked for detention if they could be located:A. Ralph SCOTT, former Alfred K. STERN chauffeur and currently handling the STERN residence in Cuernavaca (LIMOUSINE reported that SCOTT was in Cuernavaca on 21 September 1958. This station is not aware SCOTT a Communist but he is loyal to the STERNS - see various letters to and from Alfred K. and Martha Dodd STERN (in Prague)).B. Max SHIAFROCK - he and his family are in New York City now and have been there for several months.C. Paul STEVENSON (aka Pablo O'HIGGINS), lover of Martha Dodd STERN and painter. Known to associate with members of the Satellite diplomatic installations as well as with the Soviets. Has been attempting to regularize his status in Mexico.D. Frederick Vanderbilt FIELD - "inmigrado" in Mexico and presently married to Nieves TILLETT (former wife of James TILLET) by whom he has a child born in summer 1958.E. Maurice HALPERIN - he and his wife left their residence on first hearing of the pick-ups. His son, David and family remained in their residence however. (LIFEAT)F. Gray Dayton WHEEIS - Has small chicken farm in Ixtapalapa, suburb of Mexico City at last report. As American by birth and married to a Guatemalan Communist who was active in organizing canneries on West Coast of U. S. BEMIS reportedly is ill. Has been "Immigrante" since April 1955 in Mexico.G. Albert MALTZ, one of the "Hollywood Ten." Local authorities are aware that MALTZ and family are in the United States at this time but vere afraid that subject should re-enter Mexico under an assumed name. MALTZ is an "inmigrado." The papers also mentioned that Helen SOBELL, wife of Morton SOBELL, of the Rosenberg case, who is now in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta, Georgia, had been staying at the MALTZ residence during the time she was in Mexico (She departed Mexico on 10 September 1993 voluntarily.)H. John ARUCOCK (believed to be identical with Joseph RASKOB, painter). "Inmigrante" in Mexico. If Joseph RASKOB is the one meant, he is believed to be. In the U. S. A. exhibiting paintings. Reported as detained but no information that this was so.

# DISPATCHTO:FROM:SUBJECT:ACTION REQUIRED:REFERENCE:I. Lini Fuhr *STOUMEN* - reported to have been detained but this was never verified.J. Felix *SAUNDERS* (husband of STOUMEN) - reported to have been detained but this never verified.10. During all the time that the pick-ups were occurring Carmen *CARRASCO Molino*, who acted as intermediary for Helen *GOBELL* with Lic. Luis *XANCHEZ Ponton* was busy at the MALTZ residence making attempts to gather funds with which to force the Mexican authorities to rescind the pick-up orders and to help the American Communists as a group in efforts to solidify their status in Mexico.11. Apparently the papers of the people who were deported as well as those who were picked up were correct so far as technicalities were concerned.Willard C.
