DIR 04094, 11 December 1958B. PARI 4625, 9 January 1959C. DIR 07455, 9 January 1959201 (not assigned)1.  Identity of DIR 04851, dated 17 December 1958 (hereafter referred to as Identity) and the undersigned arrived in Paris on 7 January. Our plans to meet and assess Subject were discussed with the Paris Station and arrangements were made to put an interpreter at our disposal. We are most grateful to the Paris Station for the help and support we were given.2.  The undersigned took a small suite of rooms at the Hotel Celtic, rue Balzac, Etoile in the name of Major Michael C. Long under which he was travelling. It was here that the interviews with Subject took place. Identity stayed in another hotel.3.  Meetings with Subject: Per the telegram sent from Paris on 19 December (see FROB 2977) Subject appeared at the rendezvous promptly. He had understandably imagined that final arrangements for his departure to Germany would be made and he was a little confused and irked) also under-standable from his point of view, to learn that that was not the case. We explained that there were several steps still to be completed and that he would be introduced to a colleague who wanted to talk with him. After this we would discuss the question of his move to Germany. Subject ob-jected that his travels and the time he has given cost money. We reminded Subject that more than once before we had offered to pay him for his travel expenses and in effect pay him a retainer which ho had refused. We then paid him Frs. 50,000; he was not overly reluctant about taking the money, whereas earlier he had refused except for a token payment of Frs. 5,000 to cover the cost of the medical examination we asked him to have made.4.  Subject was then introduced to Identity (known as "John") and the interpreter (known as "Paul"). Subject, in keeping with the wishes of Identity, was not told that Identity is a psychologist. After a leisurely and good, but not luxurious, lunch during which the ice was broken, the company repaired to the Hotel Celtic where Identity through the interpreter began his clinical exami res and tests. After this four hour introductory affair, Subject was given some homework and dismissed.5.  The second formal meeting on 8 January began at 1200 hours. Subject appeared promptly at the hotel room and produced some of the home-work he had been given. He had not finished because he had had no sleep on the night of 6/7 January and, in any case, it was not expected that he would complete the task. This second meeting with Identity was devoted to clinical examination and lasted until about 1800 hours.6.  Subject appeared as requested promptly at 0900 hours on 9 January for the third session with Identity. He delivered a sizable bundle of completed homework which was given to the contract agent to translate. Platipodis (known as "Ton") thereupon acted as interpreter for Identity. Subject reported that during the night of 8/9 January the French police concerned with watching foreigners had paid him a visit. It was a routine matter and had been triggered because Subject had registered at a hôtel where his carte d'identitie, a special one for foreigners with special markings because he has a criminal record and is restricted to his home departcent, was noted by the hotelier and the police who make regular check.SECRETCS COPY
