3. On 17 Nov 52, the Press Attaché called our attention to State Dept. Control cable 1437, from ESCOM, dated 14 Nov 52, a copy of which is attached hereto for your convenience. Basing our request on the information contained in para 1 above, and on the attached cable from Bonn, we submitted queries concerning Subject to both UNION and UNBOUND.4. On 23 Jan 53, we received the following reply from UNBOUND:Fritz (aka Fred) SIRSCU, born 31 May 1903 in Berlin, of German origin, the son of Willy and Bertha TURIUF, acquired French nationality by naturalization on 1 April 1931. On 19 October 1933 in Paris 16e, he married his compatriot Edith STRIEBEL, born 24 August 1905 in Berlin. They have one child, born 25 May 1937, of French nationality.SIRSCU joined the Foreign Legion in 1940 and was demobilized in February 1941. In August 1942, fearing lest he be interned in a camp in the unoccupied zone, he decided to go with his wife to Switzerland. Upon his arrival in Switzerland, he was arrested for clandestine border-crossing and interned in a camp at Martigny, (Valais). Later, he was transferred to a labor camp at Sterre. During his stay in Switzerland, he allegedly wrote several articles under the pseudonym "Basel" in the Swiss socialist press, notably in the paper "Libera-Stampa."In May 1945, he returned to France and settled at Entraigues (Salce), where he still resides at 211 Avenue Pierre Brocolotto. Since 1945, he has had a legal office at 63 rue d'Hénouville, Paris 16e, where, according to a usually reliable source, it is reported to have held meetings with Konstantin OUMANSKY of the Soviet Commercial Mission (etc - see Ltr 14555) and with WOCHENIN of the Soviet Information Bureau. The activity of this legal office is, in fact, almost negligible.Since 1945, he also has operated an office for the settlement of disputed claims for the international Reserve and Relief Committee (I.R.R.C.), 35 Bvd. des Capucines, Paris. He equally is administrator of the firm "Vank and Sluit" of Antwerp, Belgium.SECRETSecurity Information

MEMORANDUM FOR FILESSUBJECT: Passing of KI reports to Brasilian Authorities.REF: KP-4-5133329 October 19541. On 18 October, Marcos EASTOS, ALUMNI's colleague in the Brasilian Federal Political Police, informed him that on 15 October he had submitted to the Chief of Police a translation of the reports he had received from AERMANY. (EASTOS had been given by AERMANY sterilized versions of KI-1 to KI-15, inclusive, and KI-17 to KI-29, inclusive, along with the biographical information of the sources of those reports. KR-25 and KR-30 were not passed to EASTOS because they had been obtained from ALLOPATHY.)2. On 27 October EASTOS informed ALUMNI that the translation of the reports had been forwarded by the Chief of Police to Colonel LOMBALDO, the present head of the Federal Political Police in Rio de Janeiro, who, in turn, had forwarded it to José PICAMILLI, head of the Political Division of the Political Police, for his recommendations. EASTOS stated that he believed PICAMILLI would recommend that the reports be forwarded to the Foreign Office and the War Ministry. EASTOS also intends to give a copy of the translations to Ribeiro de ALMEIDA, head of the Servicio de Vigilancia of the Department of Political and Social Order (D.O.P.S.), São Paulo, who has indicated an interest in receiving it.3. As an introduction to the translation of the reports, EASTOS described briefly Brasil's Stateless refugee immigration problems and the voluntary welfare organizations which assist the immigrants in gaining entry to, and settling in, Brasil. The translation of this introduction is as follows:"The current immigration of White Russians into Brasil began in 1919. It has diminished since June 1954 in the face of the decision taken by the National Institute of Colonization and Immigration (Istituto Nacional de Imigração Colonização) (N.I.I.C.) on 16 June 1954. On that date, the Directorate of the N.I.I.C. decided to request that the Ministry of Foreign Relations take the necessary steps to stop the issuance of visas for stateless persons for a period of sixty days.""On 30 June, Vicente Rao, then Foreign Minister, sent a circular to all the consulates ordering a stoppage in the issuance of visas until a final decision could be reached.""On 22 September, the Foreign Office issued to the consulates new instructions, according to which, generally speaking, stateless immigrants are permitted entry to Brasil only if they have in Brasil relatives in the direct line of descent whose economic situation is such that they can guarantee the subsistence of the immigrants."
[104-10171-10138.pdf — page 6]
Nevertheless, it may be noted that there are various stateless persons in Hong Kong, with their respective passports in order, awaiting accommodations on one of the five ships of the Hong Kong-Buenos Aires line: the *"BOISSEVAIN", "TJISIDANE", "TELLEROS", and "TJIALENKA".*[^1]The difficulties which the international organisations encounter in obtaining complete and reliable information on the immigrants are due to a large extent to the fact that those immigrants always reside in areas far removed from the locales of the organizations' offices. One must also recognize the fact that included among the stateless immigrants is a large number of persons useful to Brazil, such as the following types of workers: mechanics, engineers, electricians, chemists, etc.There are twelve international organisations who are responsible for preparing the immigrants for the journey - or better, the cult - of those stateless refugees from China and various European countries. They are:1.  A.J.D.C. - American Joint Distribution Committee, with offices in Rio and São Paulo.2.  E.O.I. - Entr'Aide Ouvriere Internationale (International Workers' Mutual Aid)3.  H.I.A.S. - Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, with offices in Rio and São Paulo.4.  I.C.M.C. - International Catholic Migration Commission, with offices in Rio and São Paulo.5.  I.S.S. - International Social Service, with offices in Rio and São Paulo.6.  I.R.C. - International Rescue Committee. Has no representatives in Brazil.7.  L.W.F. - Lutheran World Federation, with offices in Rio and São Paulo.8.  N.C.W.C. - National Catholic Welfare Conference, with offices in Rio and São Paulo.9.  S.A.E. - Swiss Aid to Europe. Has no representation in Brazil.10. T.F. - Tolstoi Foundation, with offices in Rio and São Paulo.11. U.U.A.R.C. - United Ukrainian American Relief Committee.12. W.C.C. - World Council of Churches, with offices in Rio and São Paulo."Two of those organizations handle the largest number of arrivals. One is the W.C.C. whose office in Rio is located at Praia do Flamengo, 180, apt. 602; its office in São Paulo is at Rua D. Veridiana, 393. The São Paulo office is under the direction of Miss Rachel de CARVALLO.[^2] The other organization is the N.C.W.C., whose office in Rio is at Avenida Churchill 60; its office in São Paulo is in the Church of Peace (Igreja da Paz) on Rua Alvares Penteado e Rua Libero Badaro, 377/393/399, 9th floor on Rua Alvares Penteado e Rua Libero Badaro, 377/393/399, 9th floor on Rua Alvares Penteado e Rua Libero Badaro, 377/393/399, 9th floor Lívio.[^3]"Since 25 April 1954, many stateless persons who have been unable to obtain a visa for Brazil, Canada or Australia have been repatriated to the U.S.S.R. As a result of this repatriation, it is possible, though not probable, that some elements may be sent from China to Brazil to engage in subversive activities here, while members of their families, who have been repatriated to Russia, are held as hostages there."[^1]: The last word is unreadable.[^2]: The office has more rooms.[^3]: The director is Father Lívio.

Joseph LEGRAND, involved in the "Promoter affair" and as a result expelled from the Central Committee of the PCF in the Spring of 1951, was recently re-appointed the position as Administrative Secretary of the Regional Miners Federation (COF) in the Nord and Pas-de-Calais regions. Augusto ISCARI was instrumental in securing this reassignment for LEGRAND, according to source.2.  XERGES (Leon) and KOEHLY (Lalla) who were in charge for two years of the reorganization of the Regional Federation have been placed under LEGRAND's orders and have been charged with "insufficient action".3.  LEGRAND has been given "full powers" to visit all syndicates and to eliminate those elements judged unnecessary, reducing the directing organisms of the various syndicates. Source stated that LEGRAND's activities are partially dictated by financial necessity and that staffs will be reduced for economic reasons.4.  HERMETZ (fim), Secretary of the Miners' syndicate of Comin (Nord), has been charged with reorganizing the Valenciennes sector, in particular the Calais-sous-Douai region, which "has fallen into lethargy as a result of the inertia of the trade union (Callo)". According to sources, GIL, former Secretary General of the miners COF syndicate in Anzin, has for some time been in line for dismissal as a result of lack of discipline and incompetence in syndicate affairs. However, no one wanted to take the responsibility for dismissing him, the first act performed by LEGRAND in his new position was to fire him.5.  It recently confirmed that he has also been given full power to purge miners syndicates and that HERMETZ (Charles) will not be a COF candidate in the next elections for miners' delegates.Classification SECRET/CONTROL - U.S. OFFICIALS ONLY29-7-1-159.> APERTURE CARD REPRODUCTIONS

He further stated that he had serious differences of opinion with Paul BAECOLI, Allemann's former press chief.When Hanner was not yet Chancellor of West Germany, but only President of the Parliamentary Council, he has refused permission to interview Allemann during his Swiss conference. He has never forgiven him for this.2. To note that there are several references to Alexander KIRCHNER (presently, Alexander  Kirchmayer) in Wilhelm Hoegner file (see WILHELM), 12563, 12715, and 12717, and that LUDEMANN has been closely associated with William Clumberg, Georg Munst and, probably, others of the Lutz/Heidenmann group. We are also interested in the fact that WILHELM was introduced to CLUMBERG by Leo SPAELLER. To consider if Alexander Alexandrovitch WLADIMIROV, vice Consul at the Soviet Consulate in Paris, and a suspected NKVD agent, and if BILLANFF has been in contact with WLADIMIROV is alleged.3. The Hans DURANDT now in Paris as economic correspondent for "der Bund", probably is identical with the Hans LUCHARDT mentioned in the "Final EQUAL Report" (KLA-3160, Part III, Vol. I, p. 34, which states:> Hans DURANDT> Address: Deals, 6 Paris> Nationality: German, born 9 September 1906 in Leier> Occupation: Journalist. 1936-1938 in Paris as representative of "Europa Presse" of Frankfurt-am-Main, end of> "Presse Telegraphique Suisse" of Berne.> Liaison: Unknown, but contact of FOOTEL (Alexander) during war.Part III, Vol.11, P. 31 of the "Final EQUAL Report", of which you have a copy, lists a Charles SIBIUN, but there is no mention of Frederic (or Fritz) SIBIUN in the reports or in the Lota Lapallo.4.

The International Rescue (sic) and Relief Committee for which operates an office, in c/o International Rescue and Relief Committee offices at 43 rue de Friedland, New York City, and 33 Boulevard des Courcelles, Paris. The organization is an outgrowth of the former International Relief Committee and the Company Relief Committee. It was formed originally to assist refugees from Spain. Since 1945 it has functioned as an anti-fascist organization assisting refugees without regard to nationalities. Although not ostensibly a Communist organization, several Communists have been affiliated with it (see VOU-5634) and, therefore, membership in the I.R.R.C. should to viewed with some suspicion.

Care and maintenance of and counseling and other assistance to 1000 students (predominantly University rather than High School) for one year. Although I.R. will take care of these students, they live around, wherever they may be, the Austrian Government has agreed to pay 10 schillings per day for all of these students who remain in Austria. I.R. will endeavor to have some of its students qualify for scholarships offered by U.S. Universities and others for 500 scholarships offered by the French Government as well as any others which may be available. In the case of any student who obtains a full scholarship, I.R.C. assistance to him will consist primarily of counseling assistance and supplemental aid, if required.2.  A hostel for 100 students is being established and will be operated near Paris by the French branch of I.R.C.3.  I.R. is covering expenses of a student hostel in Vienna - estimated capacity 300 students.4.  I.R. is covering the costs of a hostel for a reported 150 students in Wolfgangesse.5.  I.R. has purchased a Volkswagen bus which starts operating as of today near Anton, shuttling refugees from the border to the collection station 6 kilometers away.6.  I.R. will furnish 500 assurances under RP for the U.S.; 200 have already been covered. These assurances are not limited to students or intellectuals but the Committee would prefer to assist those types insofar as possible.7.  Some time ago I.R.C. offered the Ministry of Interior to cover the cost of 1000 beds. At the time the deal was called off by the Ministry, since then the Ministry has not followed up I.R.C.'s proposal, (although I have personally repeated on occasion to Ministry officials that they should not let this opportunity drop), but I.R. still stands ready to cover its commitments.
