S-B-C-R-E-TREPORT ON CONTACT WITH AGENT OR DEFECTORSUBJECT: WIROGUEDATE: 30 September 1964TIME: 1030 - 1400 hoursPLACE: Automobile in the Vicinity of Kuhwaldstr.ARTHUR A. LIFALL, Case OfficerCOMMENTS:WIROGUE called at approximately 0945 hours on the Stage IOps phone and asked for Mr. Murmann. C.O. took the call and wasadvised that the caller was "Dave" and that he desired to speakto a colleague of Mr. Murmann at the earliest possible time.C.O. made arrangements to meet him in front of the safe houseat 51 Kuhwaldstr which WIROGUE occupied during his 1 1/2 yearassociation with HARVARD (this is no longer a HARVARD safe house).C.O. did not tell Dave"his name over the telephone and indicatedthat he would be able to recognize "Dave". C.O. picked "Dave"up on the corner of Volta and Kuhwaldstr and drove a couple ofblocks to a parking place where the conversation took place.C.O. learned that WIROGUE was no longer employed by theBochler Company in Munich. He apparently has had a couple offactory jobs since that job and is currently unemployed.According to "Dave" he is without work, without friends, withoutmoney and" only contacted Murmann's old office because he is"at the end of his rope". Subject stated that he had tried hardto find suitable employment in Germany, but that there wasabsolutely nothing available which he could do. It was obviousthat WIROGUE wished to renew his association with the AIS and that"intelligence work" was the only kind of employment for which hefelt himself really qualified. When C.O. indicated to him that theemployment possibilities had not changed since WIROGUE was toldthere was no possibility of future employment with the Agency,Subject said that the purpose of his telephone call was to adviseus of his plans to go to Paris and attemin to contact the...French Intelligence-Service to which he would-offer-his_services.He wished to find out if we would have any objections to hisseeking employment from the French or possibly the British sincewe are apparently unable to utilize him further. C.O. said thatobviously WIROGUE would do what he would do and that while wehad no control over his actions it would seem a bit surprisingthat he would delibertely place himself in the hands of theFrench authorities where he was known to have a criminal record.WIROGUE implied that he would obviously tell all to the Frenchand indicated that he was not concerned about any actions thatthey would take against him. He appeared sure in an extremelyvague and confused way that the French Intelligence Service coulduse him.
[104-10182-10003.pdf — page 3]
In the course of the lengthy discussions WIROGUE let it be known that he was not very happy about the treatment he had received from the Americans--that he felt he had been dropped, and it appeared obvious to C.O. that if we had no further work for him he was threating to tell his story to the French authorities--a story which he presumably feels we would not like the French to know about. It should be stressed that at no time was the "blackmail threat" bluntly presented. It was merely that he wished to advise us of his plan to leave for Paris this date with this intention in mind and that he wished to determine if we had any "objections".С.О. xafasad reviewed with WIROGUE the considerable efforts which had been made to assist him in establishing a new life here In the FEDREP-- a new life story, legal documentation, the hapaxta taak opportunity to look for employment for a period of more than a year while receiving subsistence from us, etc. C.O. told Subject that he obviously had a good mind and was in good health and that--if he was unable to find some type of employment in the thriving West German economy that appealed to him there and satisfied him--he would probably be unhappy wherever he goes. C.O. discounted Subject's beliefs that "intelligence work" was the only thing for which he was suited. C.O. sap expressed the view that he should get his head out of the clouds and his feet on the ground--that he should find a job, however entrar, and throw himself into it. At this point WIROGUE said that at one time he had told Mr. Murmann of his desire to become a driver or chauffer but that Mr. Murmann told him he could find much more suitable employment. With a certain amount of disbelief C.O. pursued this topic with him telling. WIROGUE that-Bif he wara was really serious thatxha in believing that this kind of employment would be satisfying to him, that it was the first sensible thought he had expressed in the course of the discussions and that C.O. would determine whether it would be possible to assist Subject in obtaining a West German driverss license (Subject indicated that- he had a Congo drivers license when he arrived in Frankfurt although it was issued in another name). While Subject pretended to have a genuine interest in obtaining such employment-- and used this to refute C.O.'s accusation that he only wanted to start at the top and considered most kinds of honest employment as being beneath him--C.O. is highly skeptical of Subject's motives. WIROGUE was told to call Makaxxxxkixx Mac (this is the only name which C.O.gave to WIROGUE) on the following day (Thursday, 1 October) and C.O. would za let him know whether he could help him obtain a West German license.

O. met Subject who had invited him to meet for lunch. They had a drink together and then went to a Chineese restaurant.At first C. O. was afraid that Subject was getting ready to ask a favor or present a problem but it turned out that he merely wanted to visit with C.O. whom he considers to be his only friend, at least in Frankfurt. He said that his work with the Munich firm is going very well and is coming along fine. He received his arst month's salary and expects to go to Munich on the first part of May for consultations and would then, around 30 May, move to Munich permanently. C.

Subject thanked C. O. for all the help he had given him to enable him to make a new start and wanted the lunch to be a small token of his appreciation. He also paid C.O. 20 DM which had been loaned him a year and a half earlier and gave C.O. a small French cigarette lighter as a rememberance. C. O. dropped Subject off downtown and suggested they have lunch, perhaps the first or second week in May.

O. met Subject in response to a telephone call in which Subject invited C. O. to lunch to help him celebrate a new stroke of fortune. WIROGUE told C. 0. that the director of the firm in Munich (reported in previous contact reports) and his European sales representative had met with Subject and discussed the possibility of his association with the Munich firm. Subject said the following had been agreed on:Subject would receive 1500 DM a month salary, free living quarters in Munich, the cost of maintaining his apartment in Frankfurt, expense account, percentage of the profits realized from any of Subject's inventions patented by the firm, a work shop in Munich plus absolute personal freedom of movement regarding working hours, etc. etc.C. O. told him that the above was very hard to believe, that he should have this in writing. Subject said that it was to be drawn-up and sent to him for his signature.C. O., of course, expressed his delight with Subject's perspicacity and perspicuity and it but not boundless. C. O. asked if this would mean he would be moving to the Munich area. Subject said that this was doubtful unless he could find a mechanic in the Munich area who would work as cheaply as Nagely with whom he is now associated. He intends to spend most of his time in Munich, however, and will come to Frankfurt once a month to oversee Nagely's work on the production models of his projects. Subject intends to do the research and development work in Munich with Nagely in Frankfurt making the finished model.

SECRET11 March 1964MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: WIROGUEOn 25 February 1964 the undersigned met with Clarence Schmidt and Art Stimpson of OCA Bonn to apprise them of the status of the WIROGUE case. Since Clarence S. was preparing to depart PCS, C.O.'s discussion was primarily with Art S., Clarence's replacement.C. O. briefed Art on WIROGUE's background prior to recruitment and his activities while associated with KUBARK. C. O. reviewed HARVARD's attempt to prepare Subject for resettlement and said that we are now in a position to quit claim him and close the case and that we wanted to bring OCA up-to-date on the status of Subject's case and to find out if there are any loose ends from Bonn's point of view or HARVARD'S which should be tightened up prior to cutting Subject loose.C. O. explained that since December 12, 1962 when OCA received a query from the BFV regarding Subject, HARVARD had been trying to reach the point where Subject could be on his own. C. O. explained that we had realized that after the original political recognition interview fiasco had brought Subject to the attention of the BFV., that to enable Subject to emigrate from Germany or to stay here without continuing problems in the future would require preparing a complete life history for Subject with a new political recognition interview story. Both the Lebenslauf and a new interview story were prepared and copies of the old story were removed from the various files and replaced by the new. C. O. said that HARVARD had two questions for Bonn end that (1) at the time of the original BFV interest in Subject had OCA promised Subject would be resettled outside Germany? and (2) would OCA know if the BFV in Cologne had a copy of Subject's political recognition interview story?. Art brought out OCA's file on the case and said to answer the second question first it would appear from the detailed information contained in the BFV query that they
[104-10182-10003.pdf — page 8]
were indeed in possession of a copy of the story. He went on to state that in answer to question (1) OCA's reply to the BFV was that Subject was of operational interest to AIS and would they please suspend their investigation until Subject is no longer of interest at which time OCA would automatically provide the BFV with the details of Subject's case.C. O. said that John Wilms of the 513th MI Group at Camp King was reasonably certain that the BFV man in Zirndorf had only sent excerpts of the Sanders political recognition interview story to the BFV in Cologne, since so many cases of interest to the BFV are processed each month that only the bare outlines of a particular case would be sent on from Zirndorf. Art and Al W. said that if the original story had not gone to Cologne then a very detailed summary had gone.We all agreed that unless Subject got into serious trouble in the future no problems would arise. In any event we could only wait and see what might come up.OCA appreciated being brought up-to-date on the case and provided HARVARD C. O. with copies of the BFV 's original query and OCA's reply: C. O. promised to send OCA a copy of Subject's original and of his latest political recognition interview story and a copy of the Lebenslauf.![signature of ORME K. DARONNAT]ORME K. DARONNAT

O. met Subject as a result of a telephone call requesting C. O.'s assistance. Subject told C. O. that he had gone to the local police revier and had tried to register but that since he had neglected to take along a filled-out Anmeldebestätigung signed by the landlord he had been told to go get the form, fill it out properly and then return. The police had looked at his deregistration slip with the 2 March date indicated and had told him to waste no time since an individual is required to deregister and re-register within a period of 8 days and it was now the 10th of March. Subject said that since his rental contract dates from January 1 and that date is indicated on the registration slip, the police will question why he waited so long to register. C. O. told him that the answer was simple and that he wished Subject would not bother him with such small problems. C. O. told Subject to get an Anmelda forn and fill it out and have his landlord sign that he moved into the apartment on 1 March and explain to the landlord that he had been deregistered as of 2 March. Subject said that he had already figured this out but that he wanted an excuse to meet C. 0. and talk to him.He showed C. O. a Munich Konto check for 4,000 DM which he had received for developing a device reported in previous contact reports and went on to say that his business trip to Munich had been reasonably successful. He had discussed the development of several new devices with the director of the Munich firm and was now in the process of working on another device for the firm. He had made arrangements whereby he would receive no parmont for the new device but that the firm would use its sales to mark another invention of his for him. The firm had also asked Subject if he would be willing to come to Munich to live and work. Subject has agreed if the offer turns out to be worth his while. C. O. congratulated Subject and told him to continue the good work.![Secret stamp]

O. met Subject and gave him his new Reiseausweis expiring in 1966 and pointed out there was a restriction against going into business for himself. He was given his Lohnsteurkarten for '62, '63 and 64 plus his Abmeldebestatigung indicating his deregistration from 145 Hohemarkstr to 51 Kuhwaldstr on 2 March 1964. He was told to go to the local Police Revier and register.Subject was given a copy of his new political recognition interview story and was asked if he had any questions regarding his legend. Subject replied that the story was so long he could not possibly memorize it completely. C. O. told him that the intent was to provide in detail any and all facts which in the future might be of importance to him in the conduct of his affairs.Subject was asked about his plans for the future. His answer was that the Director of the firm (reported in contact report 17 February 1964) had invited him to come to Munich on 3 March 1964 to discuss, among other things, the possibility of employing Subject in the engineering department. This plus the fact that Subject has signed an agreement with BOHLER & CO. OPTICAL FACTORY, FF/M to act as an engineering consultant might enable him to realize his ambition, i.e. to have a position rather than an ordinary job.C. O. quitclaimed Subject and wished him luck.Subject asked that C. O. be sure to let the higher echelon know he appreciates all that_has_been_done-for-him.Subject said that although official contact is at an end he hoped that C. O. would not reject an invitation for a friendly get together from time to time. C. O. replied that if business matters permitted he would be glad to meet Subject.Subject jovially announced that they would probably meet some day in the U.S. C. O. reminded him that any action on his part which would involve the taking of fingerprints could have dire consequence for him. C. O. went on to report what he had told Subject months earlier and that is:![photo of text: Exct i:..]

Any attempt to immigrate to the U.S., Canada, Australia, etc. would bring him to the attention of INTERPOL On the other hand, he could immigrate to South America but it would be imperative that he first learn Russian if he is to pass himself off as a recent refugee from the Soviet Union. C. O. said he could see no reason to prevent Subject from visiting any country or even entering as a technical representative. C. O. told him that he is soundly, if not perfectly, documented and that we can do no better and that he should never forget that his fingerprints are the weakest links.C. O. said good-by and parted company. Case closed.NOTE: Normally HARVARD would provide a statement on one of our cover unit stationary letterheads covering the period of time Subject was in our custody and indicating that he was more or less professionally associated with the U.S. Army. Chief/HARVARD and C. O. felt that unless Subject requests such a letter it would be adviseable not to expose him to any more of our M.O. We can be sure that if Subject needs such a letter he will contact HARVARD.* This of course is not true but does enable us to exercise some control.

O. emphasized that this would be the last time Subject would receive any money and that he must now arrange for a new source of income. Subject laughed and said he had the impression C. O. was anxious to get rid of him and also seemed to have doubts as to his ability to take care of his financial problems. C. O. laughed in turn and said he would indeed be glad to see Subject on his own and added that he had no doubts re: Subject's ability to get money but that he is only hoping Subject would use methods acceptable to society (chuckle).Since Subject had both English and German versions of his legend, C. 0. took the English copy with the explanation that if Subject should submit a Lebenslauf, in connection with a job application, the German version would be more appropriate.C. O. took Subject to lunch and dropped him off in the city after promising to see him on the 2nd of March.C.O. picked up Subject's Reвиаnweis and told him it would be returned to the authorities and a new one would be issued. This would eliminate the need for a renewal until 1966.![SECRET]![Excluded from automatic downgrading and declassification]

SECRET24 February 1964MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: WIROGUE1. C. O. and Sam Markowtiz met with John Wilms, Special Liaison Advisor to the 513th MI Group at Camp King, to discuss certain problems connected with the WIROGUE case. C.0. told John that we are going to attempt to make a clean brake with Subject this coming Friday but there were a few loose ends which had to be cleared up before we could take this final step. C. O. said that in reviewing the new political recognition interview story, we had noted that the new story did not incorporate the name change of Subject's father from Simon Sanders to Frank Simon Sanders. C. O. asked if the new copy would have to be changed or replaced. John made a note of what the change of nane should really be and told C. O. have all the new copies changed to read Frank Simon Sanders. John said that this sort of thing happens from time to time; that it is just a simple error and will raise no eyebrows.2. C. O. then brought up the point that Subject's Reiseausweis will expire in October 1964 and we and Subject were wondering if subtext would run into any problem when he went to the Polizei Presidum to get a Reiseausweis rencwal. John said that there would be no problems that he could see: but to make sure that there is no slip-up, we should pick up Subject's current Reiseausveis and if Sam prepares the necessary Antrag, John will get us a new Reiseausweis within one or two days, dated with a current date. C. O. said he would pick up Subject's Reiseausweis and give it to Sam this week and Sam will prepare the necessary papers for a new Reiseausweis, plus a 1964 Lohnsteurkarte and a deregistration slip. If this works out, our plans to with Subject will be accomplished this coming Friday.3. C. 0. then pointed out the BFV's interest in Subject in late 1962 and mentioned to John we had received a query from Bonn indicating the BFV's interest in Subject, and contained what looked like excerpts from Subject's political recognitionSECRET
[104-10182-10003.pdf — page 14]
SECRET-2-interview story. C. O. went on to say that we were wondering if a copy of the story might have gone to the BFV in Bonn, and that Wilms had missed one of the old copies when he recalled all copies recently and replaced them with the new story. John said that Camp Zirndorf processes 50 to 100 cases a month, one half of which are interest in one way or another to the BFV. He said that what had gone to Bonn was very likely an excerpt, that the entire story would not have been sent to Bonn. John went on to say that with the new copy in the file, if this excerpt should come to light in the future, a check would merely indicate that someone had made a mistake and the matter would be dropped. John added that he knows we are concerned about this case, but that he sees no reason why there should be any trouble of any kind. He said that the only problem will be if Subject himself comes to the attention of the authorities because of some shinanigans on his part.Orme B. Daronnat
