# Daily Telegraph & Morning Post, Saturday, September 2, 1950REFUGEES LAY BE SENT TO U. S.PROFESSIONALBy Our Diplomatio CorespondentA thousand Eastern European anti-Communist refugees of the professional classes may be sent for employment to the United States by the International Rescue Committee. Mr. David Martin, the Committee's Executive Director, is in London on his way to Paris and other capitals to investigate the scheme's possibilities.It is also proposed to establish, probably in London and Paris, European institutes for the study by refugee experts of every aspect of life in East Europe. Mr. Martin said yesterday:"The time has come when the free nations must use this case of human talent to record what is going on and to ensure there are groups available to revive culture in Eastern Europe when the time arrives. We are prepared to bring 1,000 intellectuals to the United States and could, I think, absorb 2,000 - 3,000."IID COPY200-7-2-63

Complain: In accordance with the request contained in Reference A, a summarized evaluation of the potentialities of Identity 1 was forwarded in Reference B. This dispatch is prepared to record in greater detail the information forwarded in Reference B and to report the latest developments concerning Identity 1.2. Coveral weeks following the 17 June 1953 demonstrations, a group of East German refugees, who identified themselves as "strike leaders", was reported as forming Identity 1. From several sources, it was determined that this group was receiving financial and moral support, assistance and guidance from such persons as Eduard S. Von Vina, Paul V. Baudress and others who allegedly wished to create a real crime-formation for East Berlin resistance-type groups. It was previously known that Von Vina was very active for over six months attempting to establish a central file for information concerning East Germany to which all West Berlin organizations would be required to submit information. Publicly, his reason for this was to classify coordination activities among the Berlin groups, but it is known that his real reason was to establish a personal measure of control over all of these organizations. In the past, his efforts had been unsuccessful due to, among other factors, the absence of a consistent "courier" organization. The continuing efforts upon the part of DILDEI to regain the position he had prior to his dismissal from VILHEI are a matter of record.3. It appeared that the creation of Identity 1 as a separate entity would not add anything of constructive nature to the general "cold war" front, and further, that its existence under the behind scenes guidance of the persons mentioned above could merely complicate the already complicated West Berlin scene. The EOD position was, therefore, to attempt to prevent the formation of Identity 1 and to resolute the tools available among the "strike leaders" upon an individual basis. Reference 2 contains a description of the activities of DILDEI in this regard.4. On 10 July 1953, prior to the initial meeting of Identity 1, CADCIT invited the strike leaders to visit the CAEDOFF establishment to be briefed on the manner in which CAEDOFF carries out its East German program encompassed. During this visit, a member of the strike leaders discovered that the CAEDOFF East German program encompassedDistribution:3 - Chief, Frankfurt3 - Cl/ClSECRETCLASSIFICATIONRI COPY

# D00-A72002has mailed copies of the booklet to prominent public figures throughout Last Ber-lin, among them Identity 5 and CALCHA. About one week after Identity 5 received his copy, sources telephoned him requesting comment concerning the publication and reiterating his former requests for U.S. support of Identity 1. (A copy of Bourgeau's booklet was given John H. Quaintance by CALCHA. This copy is forwarded under separate cover as Attachment "C")13. It was reported in Reference 8 that Identity 5 felt that a major portion of Identity 1's financial support stemmed from Identity 10 sources, however, he now feels that what little support Identity 1 is receiving comes from CALCHA for the reasons outlined in paragraph 11 above. Identity 5 was aware that Identity 1 had received welfare items from Identity 4 for further distribution among the families of persons who had been arrested for taking part in the 17 June demonstrations. To his knowledge, however, no funds, as such, were ever given Identity 1 from this source.14. Nelson G. Henard recently reported that Identity 3 has resigned from his posi-tion in Identity 1 and is now practicing law in Western Germany. Henard also stated that he has heard of no recent activity upon the part of Identity 1 and has heard of no replacement being named to fill the post vacated by Identity 3.15. The membership list of Identity 1 as reported in DBM-207 agrees in part with a list forwarded by Henard. For comparison purposes, the latter list is forwarded under separate cover as Attachment "D".16. Since it appears that Identity 1, although reportedly not very active, has been receiving a small amount of financial support from CALCHA, it is possible that a continued investigation of its activities may be warranted. If so, it is sug-gested that future queries be directed to John H. Quaintance, the DBMATT Case Offi-cer who has direct contact with CALCHA. Since the attachments are forwarded in single copies, it is requested that they be forwarded to the Home Office following perusal.Marvin l. LarrisonMARVIN L. LARRISONAPPROVEDKinneth W. ByrlowHenry W.

The FBI report on the interrogation of the subject, dated 8 October 1947, stated that the subject have known both of them over a period of many years. They first lady then very intimately as A. causes. The FBI report on the subject who was foreign correspondent for the ministry in Germany where the kept them for almost 2 years and stated as their propagandist teacher. This report further stated that in 1937 after the subject had returned from Moscow having broken with the Russians, they came to often, and they found that the still friendly with both of the AROC officials and saw them from time to time.(b) In a report dated 3 August 1950 revising his activities in Russia during the 1920s and 1930s, it was stated that FLOYD was still known to have enjoyed unusually close contact with Soviet officials particularly in the Soviet Foreign Office. It’s stated to have nothing like a Bolshevik journalist, was reported to have something like a Bolshevik journalist, was reputed to have something like a Bolshevik journalist, was reported to have something like a Bolshevik journalist, was reputed to have something like a Bolshevik journalist, were liquidated in and east of FLOYD's well-placed contacts were liquidated in and east of FLOYD's well-placed contacts were liquidated in the Great Purge of 1937-38, and all this contributed, no doubt, to FLOYD's disillusionment and disenchantment with the Soviet regime. In any event, he contrived with difficulty to get his Soviet-citizen wife out of the USSR.LTC.

report also stated that FISCHL was active during the spanish civil war in support of the loyalists and was reputed to have had good contacts with the last Republican Prime Minister, NEGRIN, who was generally regarded as a Soviet stooge. However by this time FISCHL was regarded in Moscow as a "trotskyist." The report confirmed by stating that FISCHL had been very active in reporting the Italian intervention cause and was on very good terms with the USSR and at the same time he had become very critical of the USSR and generally. During 1949 and 1950 he displayed some interest in politics, and in Germany, where the then former Soviet citizens, and collaborated with Doris A. WlIKill publishing a book in the U.S. entitled INTERROG the V-I which is a compilation of the reputed life stories of career-tired, mainly from the vlasny movement.In this report Karkaseba or Dorthy WISCHER, wife of Louis FISCHL, who was born in Latvia, is said to have written some books under the name of CHICHEBAU. At one time she was a secretary of CHICHEBAU, the early Soviet Foreign Affairs Committee, and Louis FISCHL met her while she was working for CHIHEBAU at the Caracas Conference in the early 1930s. Although she had been very strongly pro-soviet in Moscow, she reportedly very very bitterly hostile in her present anti-Soviet expressions and writings, since 1945 one-time in Caracas as the representative of Committee of Kay Krill. She was reported to have left Germany in 1945 to go to Italy there she was supposed to have worked on a dock cold to be a wife of flottica. The document stated that Karkaseba FISCHL was currently living at a farm which she owns at Kallara’s Church, Fa., near Quakertown, Pa., but that she was seeking employment again in workAnother section of this report was devoted to Pernices, son of Louis and Parkeesia FISCHL, who is sometimes known by the name of Dimitivo, educated in both Germany and Moscow and came to the U.S. co 14 years of age with his mother. He was graduated from the University of Wisconsin. Serving as a captain in the Air Force Intelligence during the war, he was used in discussions in where the knowledge of Russian proved very ess-ful. This report stated that following the war comrade FISCHL was at Harvard for several years on a Lowell fellowship and had been working on his doctorate for his doctorate. In this time doing considerable writing on the origins and history of the Vlassov Movement, his output being probably the best material avail-able. To obtain material for articles appearing in a number of American colleges, he made several trips to Berlin areas and other DP centers in Germany. His most recent trips were on behalf of the Russian Research Center of Harvard University, and he seemed to enjoy the confidence of Professors KARPOVICH and YAKOVLEV there. While in Germany in April, 1950, he was traveling on orders from the Air Force Intelligence. He is an officer of the Air![Reproduction Card]

Varco Ecserva. This report further stated that in August 1950 he returned from another trip to Germany where he conducted negotiations for the Harvard Russian Research Center in connection with the establishment in Munich of a Russian Research Institute and also to arrange the details of the Harvard Russian Center's project of sending a group of students to Germany the autumn of 1950 to study the Russian emigration. He informed Professor FALCOV that upon his return he was withdrawing from further work for the Harvard Russian Research Center in order to concentrate on his thesis. George FLICHERO's principal contact in Germany was Boris EINOV, head of the Viasovity group, Salius Derleg as Covebosods Radael (Militant Union for Liberation of Peoples of Russia), the SOOUZ. On earlier trips he had been in touch with MY way, chief of SOOUZ's security section, but since LCCSTAFLV reported to be suffering from cancer and therefore not active, FLICHERO's later contacts with him were occasional. George FLICHERO is reported to have told Col. FOODIKAL.O7 in connection with research which FOODIAKOV was doing for Harvard, but VILIMA did not have close contacts with him.(c) The FBI in an investigative report on Carol Bundy BRAIDS dated 4 January 1952 stated that an informant of known reliability advised that in October and December 1941 and also in January 1943 Louis Fischer, who then resided at Hotel Dauro, 25/ Madiscon Avenue, New York City, was in contact with Carol Hill, Literary agent, 22 East 12th Street, New York City. This report quoted a review of *[?] book [?] in the 12 May 1941 issue of [?] magazine. This review stated *[?] years Louis Fischer was the journalistic delegate from New York's Liberal [?] to the Russian Revolution.* It also described Fischer as an authority on Russian foreign politics and brought his close contact with Russian politicians.* According to this review, while dispatches of [?] correspondent in [?] Fischer's reports were objective and full of hostility to Russia, Fischer became the favorite Russian author of [?] U.S. Intelligentsia.* This report also stated that an informant of known reliability advised on 21 July 1951 that Fischer, a well-known Communist writer, was leaving for England and that another informant of known reliability advised that in 1937 Fischer was active with the Loyalist forces in Spain. In addition an informant of unknown reliability advised that Oscar J. [?] in February 1951 that he had no positive information but believed that Fischer was working for the CPD.(d) In an FBI report on Coleman A. Nichols dated 21 February 1951, an informant of known reliability stated that he was now, reportedly a member of the Soviet Intelligence organization in the U.S. engaged in industrial espionage, as the [?] and [?] Fischer in Moscow in 1923. The report identified Fischer as an anti-Communist writer, author of [?] and [*?] *Petition*, who at that time was pro-Germanist and was in Moscow for the magazine, *[?]*.-3-

(o) A GGC report on *[illegible]* and his wife dated 17 August 1950 in-cluded a list of *[illegible]* information indirectly obtained from the subjects. The name of Louis Fischer, 237 Madison Avenue, New York City 16, telephone number 1-2-3-[illegible]-9563 appeared several times and the date 15 December 1947 mentioned. The name of FISCHER also appeared on a list headed "Letters".(1) In a document from a usually reliable source dated 27 September 1951, Louis FISCHER, an American citizen born in Philadelphia 17 February 1953, was reported as staying at the Hotel Imperiale in Rome from 3 April to 23 April accompanied by his alleged wife, Derta Fischer born in Latvia on *[illegible]*. He was in possession of passport No. 55603 dated 1 November 1950 and his wife, No. 257533 dated 23 February 1949, both issued in Washington. Derta was reported as departing for Florence on 7 April 1951 where it seemed she was joined by him. According to personnel of the hotel, Fischer claimed to be a journalist, but there were some doubts as to hotel personnel. When leaving Rome, he left his trunk with hotel personnel, and it was later picked up by an unidentified friend. In Rome Fischer had contacts with fellow-Americans. The purpose of his trip to Italy was unknown.(7) A report dated 19 September 1951 stated that one GRAZI[illegible] and wife, and FISCHER and wife spent the holiday of Easter, 1952, at Voria (near Naples) together with the “well-known anti-Stalinist newspaperman, Louis FISCHER.” This report also stated that GRAZI[illegible] had Communist affiliation but that FISCHER gave no indication of being aware of this.(h) In a report dated 22 December 1950 Louis FISCHER was included among delegates to a conference of the International Labor Organization to be held 1[illegible] December 190 in Lucknow, India. The report also stated that it was presumed that FISCHER was from France but that this was not definitely known.(i) In a document dated 13 January 1951, Louis FISCHER was reported to have made contributions to the 3203., a political organization composed of the anti-Soviet remnants of the wartime Vlasov movement. 4303 carries on both overt and clandestine activities aimed at the eventual overthrow of Soviet dictatorship. The activities of this organization have been financed mainly by gifts, contributions, and indirectly by Harvard University through the Institute for the Study of the Soviet Union which is staffed wholly by 4303 personnel.2. There is also a reference... Louis FISCHER in JFA-8135 dated 23 May 1951.3. In requesting information concerning subject, JFA-9714 invited our attention to the following references: JFA-135 dated 24 December 1950, and [illegible] December 1950, and B.C. [illegible]'s memorandum of 5 January 1951. It is the opinion of Nicholas A. Benard, author of JFA-6135, that Louis FISCHER described in these references is not identical with Louis FISCHER cited in the KATZ synthesis.
