1.
Subject is presently employed in Paris by Trans World Airline
in the capacity of Special Sales Representative. He is well known to
Douglas C. HAME and Eleanor T. HARTWELL, the former having known him
socially for a number of years and the latter having dealt with him on
transportation problems since his appointment, fifteen months ago, to the
position he now occupies with TWA.
2. Subject is also a long-time friend of UMMCTED, who brought him
to our attention as a potential recruit and who has provided us with the
biographical information contained in the attached personal record form
No. 51-67.
3. From what I have been able to gather from UNLOVED, as well as
from HARE and HARTHELL, subject appears to be the type of individual which
might be ideally suited to fulfill certain valuable operational assignments
in France, such as "spotter" for other high-level potential agents, high-
level contacts, cut-out, etc. All who know him agree that subject is capable
of "doing anything and getting to know anyone" if he so chooses. Apparently
subject, despite the "brass" which surrounds his perceptible personality, is
a serious-minded, intelligent and patriotic individual who has had much ex-
perience along lines which could be of use to this organization, as well as
an uncanny knack of being able to introduce and ingratiate himself into prac-
tically any milieu of interest to his work or wishes. A partial list of
subject's fairly close friends, as reported by UNOVED on Page 8-a of attach
pent, shows the variety of people subject knows and sees whenever they are
in this area. Undoubtedly, subject himself could add a much longer list of
names to those reported herein, particularly with respect to contacts in
Europe.
4. I am assured by UNIOVED that subject, despite his ability to
ake and keep murerous and varied friendships, is far from being a "good.
time Charlie". He 15, on the other hand, che of those characters whom every-
one likes and trunts and who goes out of their way to see as often as occa-
eion permits. UNIVED assures me that subject

6. On a recent tour of inspection.or TWA circuit, Warren
PIERSON, Chairman of the Board of TWA, assured subject he would endeavor
to secure for him an additional allotment of funds to supplement his
present expense account budget. Due to budgetary restrictions this has
not been possible and subject is at present seeking another, more remuner-
ative position, since he claims that his present income of approximately
$666.00 monthly (including expense account) is insufficient to permit him
to live in Paris and maintain the contacts and activity required by his
job. According to UNLOVED, subject is at present endeavoring to secure
from his good friend Benjamin KATZ(President of the Gruen Watch Co.) the
sales agency for Gruen watches in Europe. Meanwhile, however, subject is
not contemplating resigning his position with TWA until he has a firm and
more remunerative position. UMMCVED states that subject plans to remain
with TWA at least until the end of the year, by which time he may have
secured something better. Subject has also had talks with James A. FARLEY
(on his recent trip to France) concerning the possibility of handling the
Coca-Cola agency here. Nothing has come of this possibility to date, but
subject appears to be hopeful.
7. UNYOYED is of the opinion that subject would be most receptive
to a proposition of doing intelligence work and furthermore believes that
if subject could supplement his present income by an additional $200 or
$300 per month, he would be willing to remain with TWA, which he likes
and is only considering leaving due to his present low total income, much
of which is spent in connection with activities required by his position.
8. UNLOVED hás, of course, never even hinted to subject anything
about his ca undercover activities and is sure subject does not suspect
that the former is doing anything but his cover work in France. UNṛOVED,
when questioned as to his opinion concerning subject's potential value
as a covert agent, as well as his recruitability, has pointed out very
strongly that subject, due to the very nature of his personality, must
be given a good deal of operational guidance and be closely controlled.
Questioned as to whether some other individual should endeavor to recruit
subject, UNZOVED was of the opinion that, should the organization desire
to do so, he would be best fitted to exploit subject's potential, since

he has known hin for a good many years and as a close friend, knows his
strong and weak points and could, in general, imale subject to better
advantage than another individual who might have only occasional contact
with him.
9. He request that consideration be given to the advisability of
endeavoring to recruit subject and, in the event of a favorable decision,
that provisional operational clearance be given in order that subject may
be approached on the subject of engaging in intelligence work. With
regard to whom should actually recruit subject, we suggest that HASE might
safely make the first approach and, if subject accepts and final security
is obtained, he might eventually be turned over to UMICVED for exploita-
tion.
10. He would appreciate your reactions to the desirability of
recruiting subject, as well as your thoughts as to how best exploit his
obvious potential.
.
11. If subject's recruitability is approved in principle and he
is given provisional security clearance, this Station would then prepare
a field project outline, to be submitted to you for approval.

and addresses.)
(Include type of work done, dates, employers,
Business career began in Europe. Brought up in France and speaking French,
☐ was appointed, at the age of 18, General Sales Agent for mañerous
American products including Jantzen Bathing Suits, Three-In-One Oil, the
Franklin Motor Car and the Le Baron Motor Car. Successful with these lines,
later became General Sales Agent in France for Dusenburg Motor Cars and the
Packard Motor Car Company. Almost immediately after taking on Packard sales
he accepted a proposition to work exclusively for the Packard Hotor Car. Co.
Remained with the company in Paris for two years, or until early in 1931.
Was then sent to the United States by the company to handle Packard sales in
Buffalo, New York where he remained until the autumn of 1932.
At that time he was approached by Raymond-Whitcomb Inc.; a leading American
travel company, specializing in deluxe tours and cruises, and asked to take
over sales in the New York Office due to his knowledge of Europe and his
contacts in Europe and the United States who were potential customers for
nigh priced travel offerings. He went to work in the company's principal
sales office at 670 Fifth Avenue and remained there until 1940. The travel
business became so severely restricted after the outbreak of war in Europe
that Raymond-Whitcomb Inc. was obliged to close most of its offices. Sales
were at a standstill and, as he was working by his own choice on a commission
basis, it was necessary for him to leave. During his eight-year tenure with
Raymond Whitcomb Inc. he wrote on an average of $500,000 worth of business
yearly by himself.
After leaving Raymond-Whitcomb Inc., he took a position as Assistant General
Manager of the St. Regis Hotel in New York and subsequently transferred to
the Hotel Pierre in the same capacity. He remained at the Hotel Pierre until
1942.

Associates most often in France with the "international set", wealthy and

air transportation and most of whom are friends of long standing.
In the U.S. his contacts include persons of high social position and leaders
in business and industry. This has been brought about partly by the nature
of his work in selling deluxe transportation on two continents and partly by
family background and early life in Europe.

30. EMPLOYMENT HISTORY. (Continued)
Attempting to volunteer for service in the U.S. Armed Forces he was turned
down as being overweight. He then approached the C. S. Red Cross, was
accepted, and sent imediately to Sidney, Australia as manager of the U.S.
Officers' Club in that city. Subsequently, he served in New Guinea, and in
Leyte and Manila in the Philippines.
After two and a half years overseas he became eligible for discharge and
rade application to return to the United States. He went directly to Wash-..
ington D.C. upon his arrival to operate there the War Service Bureau of the
American Optical Company. The Bureau handled that company's business rula-
tions with foreign governments and aided implementation of U.S. Army, Navy
and Air Corps contracts.
With the war over and the War Service Bureau about to close, he refused a
position with the American Optical Company Sales Division, to re-enter the
Transportation field. He joined a newly-formed airline called Transair Inc.,
at that time one of the leading charter companies.
Due to the uncertain position of charter lines within the aviation industry
he decided to accept an offer made to him by American Airlines to go to 1
Europe as District Traffic Manager for Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg with
headquarters in Ansterdan. He remained with American Overseas Airlines until
he had ar opportunity to transfer to Trans World Airline which made it possible
for him to return to Paris as Special Sales Representative, covering large
corporation, government accounts and the notion picture industry. He has now
been with Trans World Airline in Faris for fifteen months.
For verification of his employment history the following persons are offered
as references. Both are familiar with his business career and have known
him personally for years. As is indicated by the above he has been employed
by both.

SPECIFIC
PARI-4214
1. We regret that circumstances beyond our control prompted us to
dispatch PARI-421), on the off chance that Subject might be of sufficient
interest to you as a potential candidate for recruitment, thus bringing to
a head a question which normally would have followed its course through the
mill. In this case, however, due to Subject's alleged resignation from TWA,
we felt that a cable such as the one we dispatched was justified, de to the
fact that unless some quick action is taken, Subject will definitely leave his
present, job with T and seek employment elsewhere.
2. On 10 December, Subject had luncheon with HARF and unloaded all his
financial troubles. In a casual way HARE asked him if by any chance he would
be willing to stay on at TWA if his salary were supplemented. Subject took
eagerly to this possibility, since it is well-known that Subject likes his
job and desires very much to remain, but is resigning merely for financial
reasons. In consultation with UNVOVED and HARE, both of whom know Subject
well, it is apparent that probably $300 monthly would allow Subject to decide
to stay with TWA, provided we are sufficiently interested in recruiting him
for intelligence activities.
3. Attached hereto is UTVFD's latest report on Subject, dated 8 Decem
ter, and prepared prior to HARE's luncheon with Subject. There seems to be
some question as to whether Subject has actually submitted his resignation to
THA in writing. According to UNOTED, he has, whereas Subject denied this to
HARE. In any event, it is well known in Paris that Subject is taking terminal
leave at present, prior to learing THA.
4. We now await your reaction as to whether you feel that in principle
NOVICHAR is worth recruiting. ` it is too early, not having had specific and
detailed talks with NVICKAR, to submit a project outline, but all here are
agreed that the organization could benefit considerably by subject's extensive
contacts in all countries of Western Europe.

Paris
Subject is quitting his position as traffic representative with Trans World Airline
as of 31 December, 1949. In August, 1949, subject advised his superiors, including
WARREN LEE PIERSON, Chairman of the Board of TWA and a personal friend, that he could
not continue unless a larger salary and a more liberal expense account were forth-
coming. He was informed in due course by Vice President COCKS that it was impossible
for the company to give him more money within the present wage structure. Subject
therefor decided to seek other employment. On or about 15 November subject was
advised by Overseas Manager THORITION that he could proceed to make new arrangements
as of the end of the year. Whether subject actually resigned or was asked to
terminate his connection due to his repeated demands for more money is not completely
clear to the writer.
:.
Oversoas Manager THORNTON was never sympathetic with the subject. According to
STANLEY MARKUSEN, TWA Overseas Public Relations Director, THORNTON was jealous of
subject's popularity. On the other hand, JOHN WINCHELL, Traffic Manager for Paris,
and subject's immediate superior, was,, and continues to be, his strong supporter.
On the basis of business produced WINCHELL has told the writer that subject is the
company's most valuable employe overseas. MARKUSEN concura in that belief.
Subject is highly regarded by OSCAR HOLCONS and PALMIR BRADLEY, directors of TWA.
In addition he is a close friend of PIERSON, Chairman of the Board, who engaged him
directly in the first place. None of these, however, seem willing to run counter to
the economy drive now in progress within TWA sponsored by new President RALPH
DAMON. Unless there is a last minute change in policy subject's termination will stand.
Subject's future is uncertain. He has boon in touch with a friend of his in New York
named HARVEY DWIGHT. DWIGHT makes frequent business trips to Europe on behalf of his
own company which deals in spare parts for airplanes. He has intimated that he
might use subject in Europe for six to eight months and then bring him back to tho
U.S. for employment in Washington. As ofthe above date DWIGHT has made subject no
definite offer but has advised him in a letter seen by the writer not to worry about
his future.
Ex-Poetranter General JANES PARLEY, now with the CocaCola Company, was interested
recently in hiring subject for work in France but that idea seems now to have been
dropped.
CHAPLES ROGERS, Paris automobile-dealer, has asked subject to work for him but subject
has refused.
FORMER
Subject in hard pressed for money. He has outstanding debts and linsalary from
TWA, in the vicinity of $550 monthly, had never been sufficient for his needs. In
October, 1949, THA out the living allowance paid to employes overseas. According
to subfoot, that cost him about $150. monthly and forced him into debt. Subject was

SPECIFIC-
1. UNMOVED has just Informed me that Subject has definitely decided
not to return to Paris and is now staying at the Hotel Stanhope on 5th Ave.,
New York. UKHOVED further assures me that subject is definitely un_employed
for the moment and is desperately looking for suitable employment.
2. Apparently Subject has been able to borrow a considerable amount
of money, he having sent to his wife who remained behind in Paris a suffi-
cient amount of dollars to cover local debts in French Francs which Subject
had accrued at the various Faris hotels, bars, nightclubs, etc. Subject's
wife is at present liquidating all these debts, closing up and returning to
the owner the apartment in which they lived and plans to depart for New York
to rejoin her husband within a few days,
3. UNMOVED ht; also assured me that subject is very anxious to return
to Europe and, if possible, Faris. UNMOVED has maintained his contacts with
other high TWA officials in Faris, who have told him that they are "lost with-
cut Subject and would be very glad to see his back in Faris. It also seems
apparent that Subject left A under favorable circumstances and would be
willing to return (and they would accept hin) provided his financial situation
were satisfactorily settled.
4. If Subject still interests you, I suggest you endeavor to contact
him at his hotel in New York.
