•
3. As an introduction to the translation of the reports, DASTOS Cescribed briefly
Brasil's Statoloss refugee immigration probles and the voluntary welfare
organizations which assist the immigrants in gaining entry to, and sattling
in, Erasil. The translation of this introduction is as follows
"The current imigration of Unito Russians into Brasil began in 1913. It
has dininiched since June 1954 in the face of the decision taken by the
National Institute of Colonication int Imigration (Instituto Nacional də
Ingração Colonia) (H.I.X.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 stops to stóp the issuance of vicas for
stateless persons for a period of sixty days.
on 30 Juns, Viccata RD, thon Foreign Minister, cant a circular to all t.
consulates ordering a stoppage in the issuance of vicas until a final
decision could be reached.
22 September, the Foreign Office inrued to the consulates new instructions,
according to which, conerally speaking, stateless imigrants are permitted
entry to Erazil only if they have in Brazil relatives in the direct line of
descent whose economic situation is such that they can guarantee the
cabsistence of the icalgrants.

in Hong Kong, with their respective passports in order, salting actions
on one of the five of the long Duenos Aires the "BO IŠGEVAYIP,
"AYS"," USA, FER", and "TALENT. (1)
The difficulties which the international organizations encounter in obtaining
complete and reliable information on the imigrants are due to a large extent
to the fact that these immigrants always reside in areas far removed from
the locales of the organizations' offices. One is also recophis the
fact that included among the stataleis imigrante is a large number of
persons useful to brazil, much as the following types of workers mochanics,
engineers, electricians, chemists, etc.
"There are twelve international organisations who are responsible for preparing
the imigrants for the journey or batter, the wilt of those stataless

"Since 25 April 1954, mary stateless persons who have been unable to obtain

of a competent Enrican officer in Genova that Plasilova should tave

Essel on
the above information, Flasilova maa denied OEP

advising thee that Plugilova had left Switserland and bigrated to
Loxico on July 54. Her transportation was covered by a Revolving
Fund Loun from the 'International encue Committon because USE? oligi-
bility had been denied. I advised the Consulate that it was my opinion
that this information should be brought to the attention of proper
American authorition in Geneva, in that Flasilova's provence in Mexico
might not be in the test interests of the United States.

all of the points which were hoped to be obtained by the formation of Unity
and since this wild constitute a obviously undesirable cuplication of effort,
approximately ton of the strive leaders' indicated that they would give their
Support to CAZDI? or other existing orcsalsations rather than to the new group.

5. On 21 July 1957, a special meeting of various West Borlin government and resla-
tance group representatives was called to discuss the feasibility, and desirabili\ƒ
of encouraging the formation of Identity 1. with few exceptions, all of the major
organisations expressed the view outlined in paragraph 3 aluvo,
was officially voiced that the members of Identity 1 should lend their support to
existing organisations. (A German language report of this meeting prepared by the
CADROIT representative is forwarded under separate cover as Attachment **)
6. On 12 August 1953, a meeting was called by HICOG-EAD of representatives of 0.8.
intelligence organisations in Berlin. The purpose of this mosting vaa to discuss
the possibility that the formation of Identity 1 night constitute a threat to the
security of American forces in Berlin. HICOG had also received an erroneous ro-
port that DTLINEN and CADROIT were rendering Identity 1 financial support. Do
latter impression was corrected during the mooting, and it was determined that
Identity 1 would probably not constituts a throat if it did not receive or devalop
financial backing. At the time of these discussions, it did not appear livaly
that Identity 1 would receive such support, and its assots would probably be ab-
sorbed in other West. Dorlin or West German organisations. There were indications
that several of the "strike leaders," with the aid of ZRCODIFY, were gaining an-
ployment in the Federal Republic.
7. The only direct contact established by BOB with any of the "atrike leaders®
was with Identity 2, who was considered for employment with DTLINER. The nature of
this contact is essentially covered in the following correspondence:
SEALU 0002,
bm 18181 and BGP-A 6120. Identity 2 was not hired by DTLINEN.
8. On 17 October 1953, the Chairman of Identity 1, Idchtity 3, informed Nelson 0.
Heard that he (Identity 3) intended to resign from Identity 1 cince he was receiv-
ing insufficient cupport to make a living. Ho stated that although he was recolv
ing some support from Identity 4, it was not enough to maintain his organization
upen a working basis. Identity 3 caid that he had made coveral radio appearances,
and that as a result of these, Identity 1 had been receiving up to cha hundred vic
itors a day. Fo reported that he had attempted to gain financial support from the
West German Hinistry for 211 German fairs and other organicntions, but had been
unsuccessful. He then suggested to Runand that Identity 1 and CT could #t=b=
lith a covert working agreement with the latter organization furnishing the funds.
The offer had one attractive repost, namely, that champir could, through the coaste
and of Identity 1, treats its present nisbica and expand into other fields of
psychological for. However, for the reason cutlined in peregraph 3 above, Hen-
all as instructed to cover all contest Meatity 3. After há k informed
that cabmbly would not endorse the cuneated working arrangement, Identity 3 el-,
itted to lenard that there vare undesirable dement within Identity 1 who would
have to be removed before the organisation coula functica effectively.

In accordance with the request contained in Reference A that a study of Ida-
tity be cale; discussions have been held with Identity 
5. No stated that he 
was
woll aware of the ccfivities of Identity 1 and that they wore 
closely plated
with the development of the TPOCCULT Terlin office. Shortly 
following the Stock-
Felu mooting of TROCCULT, Crambo, Identity 6 and others

the activities of TROCCULT in Castorn

TROCCULT would form a Borlin office which 
would be 
responsible exclusively for East
German operations. Although the mission of this office was 
not initially established
,
discussion apparently centered about the formation 
of an underground trade unica to
oppose the Sant German FDG9. Identity 6 and Grambo 
indicated that funds in the
amount of 1,000,000 would be provisionally availabld
.
10. Identity 7, en East German refuges who was an active labor leader and had work-
od with the SFD. Oatburo, was designated the chief of 
the new TTCCCULT office. Ho
comenced work immoulately, but it soon became apparent that 
ho was not going to
cooperate with either CADCNA or ZRCODIFY 
Porlin, other then to use the latter's
offices. Identity 5 states that efforts were made by West 
German and Belgian 
rep-
resentatives of TROCCULT to bring Identity 7 into closer 
harmony with CADONA, but
these were fruiticos. Identity 7 kopt knowledge of his 
activitica from CODIFY
Rambers, and it also became apparent that ho was not informing 
TrOCCULT of every-
thing either. The latter has evidenced a growing distrust and 
dialiko for 
Identity
7 which has almost approached the state of completo disassociation
. (For recent
evidence of TFOCCULT by-passing its own Berlin offico,

11. Since the TFCCCULT Dorlin office was more or less an outgrowth of the 17 June
demonstrations, it was natural that fuentity 1 would neck 
a close working associa
tion with that group. In attempt was made, but apparently Identity 
7, to

(b) Question: What, if any, project exists to rellove TB incidence

Supplemental aid is primarily designed to help escapees maintain

out exception, these agencies have strong and reputable teorican
affiliates which are accredited and recognised by the Advisory Con-
Bittoo on Voluntary Foreign Aid. In the case of 90, the American
affiliato is the National Council of the Churches of Christ, whoo.
wolfare organization is the Church World Servical 15748 accredited
by the Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign aid and is a member
in good standing of the American Council of Voluntary Agencies for
Foreign Service, Incorporated. The specific requirements for quali-
fication are not no available; however, it is believed that to be
qualified for accreditation by the Advisory Committee, an agency sust
bo supported by voluntary subscriptions, and husanitarian in character.
It is believed that agencies wholly political are not eligible.
9. Question: What is the status of the proposal to form a Russian
labor company which we understand has been approved in Washington"
General agreement on the formation by USAREUR of a Labor Service
Unit compriood of Soviet escapees has been reached by US BUCOM and
USAREUR. This project now only awaits final approval from the Depart-
mont of Aray as to certain detaile. (It is understood that the Army
has already agreed to the proposal in principal.) It is anticipated
that the project will be implemented in the near future.
The Unit, which will be assigned a guard mission, will comprise
initially 100 officers and mon. In addition, one can to act as staff
advisor to USAREUR on catters affecting the Unit will probably be
recruited. This position should have a field grade of pornaps a
Lieutenant Colonel. The personnel coiling of 100 may be ralood to
200 should it appear destrable in the light of experience. In order
to avoid tho appearance of supporting Great Hussian or minority
national asperations, the shoulder flash for members of the company
would bear the name "ROSSISKIY" or Russian People, rather than
"RUSSKIY" or Russiane.
In the course of a recont discussion between representatives of
CAS, U.S. EUCOH, and this office concerning this proposal, general
agrooment was reached on the following pointes
a) Loadership in the company should be recruited from the more
recont Soviet escapees or defectore, rather than from the older "ouigre”
group
b) Efforts should be made to recruit the maximum possible number
from the oscapeos registered with USEP, and
c) The TROPE group should be strongly represented in the company.
10. Questions

SECRET

10. Questions Have any stops boon taken to get the Ciomoney Board
of HICGG to pardon Soviet oscapoo's sentenced for minor offenses con-
mitted in an attempt to survive, thus clearing their records?
Do you
want us to make any pitch on this?
In the past, potitions for clemency have caly teen presented to
the Clemency Board of HICOC when a person was under active considera-
tion for, resettlement. The Clemency Board has usually acted swiftly
with the best interest of the individual and of the U.S. Government
in mind. Recently, however, stops were taken to initiate potitions
for clemency on all cases of the types mentioned in Question 10. It
is too early at the present time to foreses the result of this opera-
tion. However, it is belloved that it is not yet necessary for CAS
to approach the appropriato officials on this point.
11. Questions Is the USEP policy to reduce the numbers who can bo
helped under the Program? If true, what are the reasons for this policy
which appears on the surface to be a step backward from solving the
problem?
It is not the USEP policy to reduce the numbers who can be helped-
under the Escapes Progres. Ao a catter of fact, the USEP caseload has
continued to increase despite the fact that over 5,000 have been rocot-
tlod, and cany have been dropped for various reasons, including inoli-
gibility, local integration, and doath. It is true that the primary
purpose of the Program is to resottlo oligibles abroad, and to integrate
locally those whose resettlement potential is low. Thio action, of and
in itself, doua tend to reduce the number of persons who can be suboo-
quently helped under the Program. It is alot the policy of the Progres
to create an atmosphere in which other programs which depond to a cor-
tain extent upon the psychological attitude existing in caigre oiroles
can operate succoppfully. In furthering this particular objective,
the Frogram has recently taken action to declare as oligible those persone
who, although having records as rinor originale, are of interest to U.3.
agencies, and have breadoned the basis to accept any Soviet citison as
oligible if he has in any way been under discipline of the Soviet Govern-
mont since January 1, 1945.

latter is true, who has the power to change the regulations, and is it
possible for them to be changed within the context of overall USEP policy?
Short of involving itself or its staff in the actual implementa-
tion of projects or in voluntary agency operations, USEP maintains a
continuing scrutiny and review of every project and contract into which
at has entered. Information developed by field officere in the course
of this review is passed to the Chief of the Escapee Program Division
concerned, who evaluates the material and discusses it, when appropri
ate, with the local agency director. Subsequent to this evaluation
and discussion with the agency, the material is forwarded to OFCEP
which cakes a second analysis and, if indicated, discusses it with
the agency's European Director. There is no policy of hands-off until
the end-audit is made. End-use-audits are an integral part of the
review of projects in order to determine whether or not the supplies
and services are reaching the escapees.
In the light of the preceding paragraph, the latter part of the
question becomes academic; however, USEP policy in this respect la
flexible and can be adapted to any situation warranting a modification
of procedures.

Local Bottlement is not prodicated solely on economic factors.
Rather, local settionent depends upon a variety of conditions obtain-
ing in the case of a particular family. Consideration quat, of nocas-
city, be given to the jobs of the principal wage-carners to detoraino
whether or not they are working in an occupational area most suitablo
to their desires, background and ability; to their vages to detoraine
whether or not their earnings are sufficient to moot the needs of their
family to their housing to determine if it is adequate; and other fac-
tore which must be considered in connection with a family's firm inte-
gration into the local community, including its own attitude toward
such integration. It is not the policy of USEP to place a man or a
really on an inoligible or inactive libt as a locally Bottled case if
ho is earning a distinctly submarginal existence. The decision of
local settlement is made by the Chief of the Escapee Program Division
concerned and only after a careful analysis of the cituation obtaining
in each particular case. Usually the Division Chiofia decision is
based upon the recommendation of the voluntary agonay as analysed and
evaluated by USEP officers in the field.

What is planned to eliminate the duplication in caseload

Duplication in caseload between the various voluntary agencies
participating in the Escapee Program has been eliminated to an appro-
Diable extent. It has existel principally in the cage of two agencies
in Germany dealing with the Soviet problem -- Tolstoy Foundation and
American Friends Dr Russian Freeded. This, however, was resolved on
December 7, 1953 at a zooting of the two agoncios with the Chief.

was given principal responsibility for all cases which have a resettio-
ment potential. AFRF was given all caboo which had limited or nó
resettlement potential and cust, of necessity, be settled locally in

action resulted in establishing a cauolond in Germany of 79 cases con-
sisting of code 100 people for TF, and 102 cases with approximately
200 people for AFRF. Now registranto by eithor agency will be reforred
to Escapes Program field representatives (in Germany, Munich) for a
check against current card files. After a dossior has been fully
developed on the case, a determination as to the appropriate agency

The Escapeo Progres was originally outlined in DEPCIRTEL 676,
January 29, 1952 (Top Secret) which indicated that the Program would
be undertaken through contracts with voluntary agencies to provide
certain supplies and services to escapeos of recent date. Inseauch
as the largest and most important voluntary agencies operating in
Europa are of religious nature and endeavor to stay clear of under-
takings which have political implications, it was determined that the
Escapoo Progres would suppress to the extent possible the political
nature of its operations in order to secure and maintain the "good"
will" and cooperation of these agoncios. In our relationships, how-
lover, with cortain agencies of othnic character (0.5. APCR - orican
Fund for Cuochoslovak Refugees), especially when these agencies are
directed by individuals in whom USEP has complete confidence, little,
if any, action has been taken to suppress or disguise USEP political
implications. There is, however, a tendancy on the part of USEP offi-
dialo to suppress political implications of the Program in their arrange-
ments with several agencies -- due to their lack of confidence in the
loadorship of those agencies. Hra. Schaufuso, Tolstoy Foundation
Shoba Goodman, American Prionds of Russian Proodge, Max'D Organi
sation for Rohabilitation through Training: Anga NationThternational
Rescue Committee; and Michael Rodyk United Ukrainian American Roller
Committee; are examples of Directora in whom USEP has little confidence.
This lack of confidence aŕiuos from the fact that those personalities
apparently have their own axos to grind. USEP has revonied, however,
and will contiuso to reveal to a limited extent, the political nature
of the Escapos Program to cortain solected persone in the voluntary
aganatos who are subject to the nosessary degros of direction, and in
who confidence may be caintained. This course of action to motivated
primarily by the fact that political overtones of the Program cannot be
wholly hidden from an intelligent person, yet it is not in the Progres's
best interest to advise officially the roligious bodies of the political
aspooţo. Although the major roligious agencies undoubtedly are aware
of the political aspects of the Program, they choose to ignore them so
long as they are not involved directly into any political operations,
and so long as they are not advised officially of them.
6. Cication: Ays there any means through which assistance to dogorv
ing coubers of TROPE (already on the caseloads) can be speeded up?
USEP officials throughout the area are continually endeavoring to
speed up Program benefits to the ultimato recipionta. This is applica-
blo to the entire cauoload of all agencies and has not in the past boon
predicated upon membership in any organisation which may or may not be
of interest to U.S. Government agencies. In this way, USEP endeavors.
to extend Program benefits to all those oligible without fooussing

officials have no way of dotoraining whether an escapee in or la
not a reader of TZOPS. However, if CA3 deoires to furnish USKP with a
list of CPE embership, OFC will request the USP Divisione in each
country to confer oligibility on the individuals listed and to pay
particular attention that such individuals may receive personal atten-
tion in the future.
7. Questions Is there any possibility of eliminating Tolstoy and
AFRP altogether and doing this job through another agency or agencies?
In consideration of this question, USEP has reluctantly decided
that it would not be possible to eliminate Tolstoy Foundation, since
Tolstoy is an old, established agency with a page-known and respected
within certain oulgre circloo. It may be possible, however, for cas
to undertake the oliuination, although CAS relationships with TP and
its Board of Directors are unknown to this office. Since AFR is a
relatively new organization, and the character of its European leader-
ship is much more undesirable than that of Tolotoy, it in conceivablo
that AFRP could be olivinated from the Russian field considerably easier
than Tolster. Moreover, as the Chairoan of the Board of the AFRP is a
retired 3.S. Adairal, ho would probably be inclined to go along with
the wishes of Government officials if it could be shown that the ali-
mination of AFRF was in the bout interest of the ..onDant.
However, the elimination of othnic type agencies in this reapest would,
perhaps, compel the Escapes Program to enter into relationships with
a religious agency, 0.g. the WCC, in their stead and the succoseful
resolution of the Soviet problem would become automatically much more
difficult.
8. Questions How does an agency qualify for a USEP contractP What
are the requirements for qualifications
USEP currently has contractual arrangements with 22 voluntary
societies representing the major religious bodios (1.0. Catholics, Jews,
and Protestante) and the cajor othnic groups represented in the popula
tion of the United States of America. To qualify for a USP atract
the agency, if it is wholly American in composition and incorporated
under the laws of one of the 48 States, or the District of Columbia,
must be accredited by what was known as the Department of Statale
Advisory Committes on Voluntary Foreign Aid, and which is now a part
of FOA. The Executive Director of this Committee is Hr. William H.
HoCahon, who is also a staff member in the office of the Assistent
Director for Refugees and Higration, FOA. In addition to those agencies
which have been incorporated in the U.S., USEP also enters into rela-
tionships with other organisations which are international in character
and composition -- such as the World Council of Churches, the World

CRITERIA FOR PRIORITY ASSISTANCE UIDER ESCAPE POGRAN
1. The Mutual Security Act of 1951 provides the basic legislative
authority for the Escapeo Program and thus establishes the elementary cri-
teria for extending assistance.
Section 101 (a)(1) of that Act authorizes the expenditure of a s12
not to exceed $100,000,000 "for any selected persons who are residing in er
escapens from the Soviet Union, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania,
Bulgaria, Albania, Lithuania, Latvia and Eatonin, er the Communist dominated
or Communist bccupied areas of Company and Austria, and any other countries
absorbed by the Soviet Union either to form such persons into alarents of
the military forces supporting the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or
for other purposes, when it is similarly determined by the resident that
such assistance will contribute to the defense of the North Atlantic area
and to the security of the United States".
2. Officials carrying out this program she ld not become involved in
complex, time-consuming procedures in determining priority for assistance.
It is expected that a positive approach toward priority will be taken and
that criteria will ran a simple and broad as is consistent with U.S.
interests. It follows that aid should be given immediately to pursons who
apparently meet the priority criteria outlined below and should be withdrawn
only if reasonable evidence is brought forward which indicates that the
person does not meet these criteria,
- 3. The intent and purpose of the program is to aid now escapees from
comunist oppression. Whatever the merits of aiding persons who were dis-
placed before, during, or soon after World War II, such aid is not nemally
a proper concern of this program. Moreover, quite apart from any other con-
siderations, the program does not have sufficient funds to assist many
persons other than those who have recently escaped from benind the Iron
Curtain. In the foregoing perspective, the following criteria will be utili-
zed by the Missions in according priority for assistance.
4. Priority for assistance in resettlemont and for supplementary care
will be granted any person who escaped after January 1, 1940 from the USSR,
Polard, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania,
Bulgaria or Albania.
5. Within the broad confines of the above, there will be certain
persons what the United States ebviously will not desire to assist and there
will to others whose status in their country of residence after flight is
such that they possess the rights and coligations of nationality of the
country in mich they have taken asylum.

Text of tole-conference received from Department July 14, 1952

"PEP Program is concerned with escapoos from Soviot or Soviet
dominated areas. In view fact PEP funds are limited and because of
legislative history of progran priority or preference must be given
to more recent escapees such as those who escaped after January 1,
1948. Decisions as to application of fund must also be based on
results which can be achieved in terms of basic objectives of program.
In other words we are not distributing a limited roliof fund equally
among a designated number of people. We are more concerned with
those who have escaped more recently than those who have been in the
rofugee state since World War I or those who were uprooted between
Soptombor 1939 and January 1, 1943. The date January 1, 1948 is an
administrative device which should not be rigidly applied unless
later exhaustion of funds increasingly requires this action. or

action resulted in establishing a caseload in Germany of 79 cases con-
sisting of some 100 people for TP, and 102 cases with approximately
200 people for AFRF. Now registrants by either agency will be referred
to Escapee Program fiold representatives (in Germany, Munich) for a

This lack of confidence arises from the fact that those personalitics
apparently have their den axes to grind. USEP has revealed, however,
and will continue to reveal to a limited extent, the political nature
of the Escapee Program to certain selected persons in the voluntary
agencies we are subject to the necessary degree of direction, and in
how confidence may be maintained. This course of action is motivated
primarily by the fact that political overtones of the Program cannot be
wholly hidden freation intelligent person, yet it is not in the Program's
best interest to advice officially the religious bodion of the political
absouls. Although the major roligious agencies undoubtedly are avaro
of the political aspects of the Progres, they choose to ignore theu so
long as they are not involved directly into any political operations.

country to confor eligibility on the individuals listed and to pay

7. Questions Is there any possibility of oliminating Tolstoy and
APRP altogether and doing this job through another agency or agencies*
saker
In consideration of this question, USE? has reluctantly decided
that it would not be possible to eliminate Tolstoy, Foundation, sinte
Tolstoy is an old, established agency with a name known and respecteë1
within cortain onigre circles. It may be possible, however, for C&S
to undertake the elimination, although CA3 relationships with TP and
its Board of Directors are unknown to this office. Since AFRY to a
relatively new organization, and the character of its European leader-
ship is much more undesirable than that of Tolstoy, it is conceivable
that AFHZ could be oltáinated from the Russian field considerably
than Tolstoy. Moreover, as the Chairman of the Board of the AYH7 : a
retired U.S. Admiral, he would probably be inclined to go along with
the wishes of Government officials if it could be shown that the all-
Dination of AFHF was in the boot interoot of the U.S. Government.
However, the elimination of ethnic type agencies in this respost would,
perhaps, compel the Escapes Program to enter into relationships, with
a religious agency, o.. the VCC, in their stead and the successful
resolution of the Soviet problem would become automatically much sore
difficult.
0. Question: How does an agency qualify for a USEP contrect What
are the requirements for qualification,
USEP currently has contractual arrangements with 22 voluntary
soolotios representing the major religious bodies (1.0. Catholica, Joe,
and Protestants) and the major othnic groups represented in the popula
tion of the United States of America. To qualify for a USEP contract
the agency, if it is wholly American in composition and incorporated
under the laws of one of the 48 States, or the District of Columbia,
must be acerudited by what was known as the Department of Stato'o
Advisory Committoo on Voluntary Foreign Aid, and which is now a part
of 903. The Executive Director of thie Comittoo is Mr. William H.
Locahon, who is close staff member in the Office of the Assistant
Director for Refugees and Migration, FOA. In addition to those agencies
which have been incorporated in the U.S., USEP aluo enters into rola-
tionships with other organisations which are international in charecter
and composition - such as the World Council of Churches, the World

Caraton, the World 1, and the Lutheran World Federation. With-
cat exception, these basies have strong and reputable American
affiliates which are accredited and recognised by the Advisory Com
sittee on Voluntry Foreign Aid. In the case of WC, the American
affiliate is the National pensil of the Churches of Christ, whose
alfare organisation is the Church World Service; it is accredited
by the Advisory Committee in Voluntary Foreign Aid and is a reader
nged standing of the American Council of Voluntary Agencies for
Pareign Service, Incorporated. The specific requirements for quali-
fication are not now available; however, it is believed that to do
qualified for accréditation by the Advisory Commitice, an agency must
te supported by voluntary subscriptions, and humanitarian in character.
It is believed that agencies wholly political are not eligible.
Sentione What is the status of the proposal to form a Russian
later company which we understand has been approved in Washington?
_ General agreement on the formation by USAREUR of a Labor Service
Calt comprised of Soviet capes has boon reached by US X and
USARSUR. This project now only awaits final approval from the Depart-
zest of Aray as to certain details. (It is understood that the army
has already agreed to the proposal in principal.) It is anticipated
that the project will be implemented in the near future.
The Unit, which will be assigned a guard mission, will comprise
Haltially 100 officers and man. In addition, one man to acties staff
adviser to USAREUR on matters affecting the Unit will probably de
recruited. This position should have a field grade of perhaps a
Miestonant Colonel. The personnal coiling of 100 way be raised to
200 should it appear desirable in the light of experience. In order
to avoid the appearance of supporting Great Russian or minority
national asperations, the shoulder flash for members of the company
would bear the name "ROSSISKIY" or Russian People, rather than
RUSSKIY" or Russians.
In the course of a recent discussion between representatives of
CAS, U.S. BUCOH, and this office concerning this proposal, general
agreement was reached on the following pointes

1. In a recent conversation with Mr. Richard R. Brown, OFCEP,
Frankfurt, iron noveral portions of a lottor which he had just
received from his Washington headquarters directing nom fairly
strong afticiam to the Gorman country unit in its handling of the
program. Noodles to arc, Brom was considerably upset since it
appears that much of the critician stemmed from KUMARK. It was his
impression that our conversations of last November, and December and
the remedial action taken by OFC at that time relative to the USEP
Gorman unit's handling of the Soviet program had indicated bio willing-
nasa to do anything possible to correct deficiencies and to fore-
stall just such critician. In paragraph 1 of the referenco wo indi-
catod that satisfactory avers to our questions had been received.
In this connection we enclose as Attachment A a copy of Brown's
written answers to or specific questions. (Attacliment B is a criteria
for USP distance.)
2. In gard to the criticism lovelled at Prom and the Gorman
unit by the Comer's home office, the following pertinent excorpte
were passed to the undersigned;
"At the third meeting a great deal of stress was laid on
the queation of the special interest cases of other Government

St was falt that we should very greatly interalfy our efforts
in this respect. It clearly considered that the disposal
of special interest cases on a very high priority basis warrants
unusual offort, procedures, and exponse on the part of the Program.
Noth Army al (MUDARK) attach very great importance to this, and
s dissatisfaction was expresand with the manner in which the
prent procedar are being implemented by the Program. In

charga mata above relating to diplomatic and military defecters is
entiibly erroneous and this infutation is borne out your own inves
tigation. In the past, eligibility was withheld from cortain
"voluntary repatriates" who had in fact, got no further than Berlin
on the trek back to the USSR and who later returned to West Germany.
However, we are assured that this is no longer necessarily taluq and
that each case is judged individually.

CRITERIA FOR PRIORITY ASSISTANCE UNDER ESCAPE PROGRAM
The Kutu Security Act of 1951 provides the basic legislative
authority for the Escapes Program and thus establishes the 
elmentary 
cri-
teria for extending assistance.
Section 101 (a)(1) of that Act authorizes the expenditure of a sur
not to excood $100,000,000 "for any colected persons who are residing in 
or
escapes from the Soviet Unica, Foland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, 
Rumania,
Bulgaria, Albania, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, 
or the Communist 
dominated
er Communist occupied areas of Germany and Austria, and 
any other countries
absorbed by the Soviet Union either to form such persons into 
elements of
the military forces cupporting the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
or
for other purposes, when it is similarly determined by the 
President 
that
such assistance will. contribute to the defense 
of the North Atlantic area
and to the security of the United States".
J
2. Officials carrying out this program should not became involved in
complex, time-consuming procedures in determining priority for 
assistance.
It is expoctol that a positive approach toward priority 
will be taken and
that criteria will remain as simple and broad as is consistent 
with U.S.
interests. It follows that aid should be given imodiately 
to persons 
who
apparently meet the priority criteria outlined below and should 
be 
withdrawn
only if reasonable evidence in brought forward which 
indicates that the
person does not meet these criteria.
3. The intent and purpose of the program is to aid new escapees from
unist oppression. Whatever the merits of aiding persons 
who wore dis-
placed before, durung, or soon after World War II, such aid 
is not normally
a proper concern of this program. Koreover, quite apart 
from my other con-
ellorations, tlio program does not have sufficient finds 
to assist many
persons other than those who have recently escaped from 
behind the 
Iron
Curtain. In the foregoing perspective, the following criteria 
will be 
utili-
zed by the Missions in according priority for assistance.
4. Priority for assistance in resettlement and for supplementary care
will be granted my porson who escaped after January 1, 1940 
from the uasa,
Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary
, Rumania,
Dulgaria or Albania,
5. Within the broad confines of the above, there will be certain
persons has the United States obviously will not desire to assist 
and 
there
will to others whose status in their country of residence after 
flight is
such that they possess the rights and obligations of nationality of tho
country in shich they have takon asylwi.

SADE
1. WE STONE PRIEFLY WITH HARRIS ON MONDAY, 3 APRIL. HE HAS SADE
SEVERAL TRIPS TO CUSA, THE LATEST IN JANUARY 1963 FOR TWO WEEKS.HE
VISITED PRESSYTERIAN CHURCHES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THE AREA WEST OF HAVANA. HIS OFFICIAL TITLE IS DIRECTOR,
HISPANO-AMERICAN DEPARTMENT, BOARD OF NATIONAL MISSIONS (THE PRESBETRIAN
WORK IN CUDA IS ADMINISTRATIVELY A PART OF THE NEW JERSEY PRESBYTERY).
HE TOLD US THAT HE HAD COMPLETE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT, ENCOUNTERED NO
DIFFICULTY ANYWHERE AND WAS NEVER STOPPED OR QUESTIONED BY THE AUTHORI-
TIES. HE SAID HE WAS OFTEN TAKEN FOR A SOVIET OR EASTERN EUROPEAN,
ROPARLY RECAUSE NO ONE EXPECTED TO SEE AN AMERICAN.
7, HIS FLANS FOR FUTURE VISITS TO CUPA ARE A BIT INDEFINITE. HE
WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE NEXT VISIT WITH SEVERAL OTHER CHURCHMEN FROM
OTHER DENOMINATIONS, THERE IS AN INTERPENOMINATIONAL SEMINARY AT
MATANZAS, WHICH HAS MANY PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE DISCUSSED. THE SEMIN-
ARY WOULD PLAN A BOARD MEETING TO COINCIDE WITH THE VISIT OF THESE
FEOPLE WHO ARE ON THE BOARD. THE GROU
WOULD
INCLUDES Dr.
5-1323 COWELL (METHODIST) BISHOP JOHN BENTLEY (EPISCOPAL), DR. LARSEN
5524
(ARTIST) AND DR. JOHN SINCLAIR (PRESBYTERIAN). THE ONLY MEMBER OF
THIS GROUP KNOWN TO US IS BISHOP BENTLEY WHO HAS BEEN AN EXTREMELY
COOPERATIVE CONTACT OF THIS OFFICE. THIS TRIP HOPEFULLY WILL TAKE
FLACE IN THE NEAR FUTURE BUT THERE ARE NO DEFINITE PLANS AT THIS TIME.
3. HARRIS HAD A PROBLEM NE THOUGHT, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP WITH.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE UNITED PRESENTERIAN CHURCH IS TO TAKE
i
:
14-00000
MADE IN DES MOINES, IOLA FROM 15-15 PAY, THEN WOULD LIKE TO HAVE
THE DELEGATES FROM CURA ATTEND, SUT THEY HAVE HAD LITTUL SUCCESS IN
CETTING THE NECESSARY PAPERS. THE ONLY PARRIBILITY, SEEMS TO BE FOR THE
DELEGATES TO GET THEMSELVES TO NEVICO INITY AND TAKE A CHANCE THAT THE
US EMBASSY THESE WILL CRANT THEM FERMISSION TO COME INTO THE COUNTRY.
THE NAMES OF THE PROPOSED DELEGATES ARE SEPTIC MANEJIAS, PASTOR OF THE
CHURCH IN CARDENAS, AND HIS WIFE, PRESIDENT OF THE FRECOYTERIAN WOMEN'S
ORGANIZATION IN CARDENAS; ALSO DR. PENE CASTELLANOS, A LAYMAN FROM
CARDENAS AND A FORMER UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR.
4. ON THE BASIS OF OUR RATHER SHORT VISIT WE CANNOT MAKE MUCH OF
AN ASSESSMENT OF HARRIS. HE WAS EXTREMELY CORDIAL, ENTIRELY SYMPATHETIC
WITH OUR INTERESTS WHILE AT THE SAME TIME WANTING TO BE. ASSURED THAT
HIS CONTACT WITH US WOULD NOT BECOME KNOWN. HE SAID THAT NATURALLY MANY
PEOPLE ASSUMED HE WAS CONNECTED WITH THE CIA BUT THAT IF THERE WERE ANY
TASIS IN FACT FOR THIS ASSUMPTION HIS USEFULNESS WOULD BE AT AN END.
THIS WOULD LEAD US TO THINK THAT HE WOULD NOT BE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING
CN CUR BEHALF DURING FUTURE TRIFS TO CUDA. WE ALSO THINK, HOWEVER,
THAT HE IS ENOUGH OF A REALIST THAT HE WOULD NOT BE UNDULY UPSET BY THE
REQUEST AND THAT HE WOULD GIVE IT SERIOUS CONSIDERATION. WHETHER HE
WOULD BE MORE AMENABLE IF SOMETHING COULD BE DONE TO ENABLE THE CUBANS
MENTIONED ABOVE TO COME TO DES MOINES, WE DON'T KNOW. WE THINK HE
WOULD TURN DOWN ANY REQUEST TO HELP DURING HIS NEXT TRIP SINCE IT
WOULD BE MADE IN THE COMPANY OF CTHER CHURCH PEOPLE.
5.
LENGTH.
WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO TALK WITH MARRIS AT GREAT
COULD YOU GIVE US ANY IDEA OF WHAT THE POSSIBILITIES ARE OF
HELPING HIS CUBAN FRIENDS AND WE COULD THEN TRANSMIT THAT INFORMATION
TO HIM AT THAT TIME. THANK YOU.

1. The following information on the IRC is for
background only.
2. In August 1950, Outline for Project QKGAUNT
was approved for the purpose of acquiring biographic
information on top-level defectors/emigres from an
official of the IRC. The sum of $2,500 was to be pro-
vided by covert means. A partial payment of $1,250
was advanced on 30 August 1950 but was refused by the
IRC representative, who stated he would supply as much
of the information desired as possible without cost.
The project was closed as of 31 August 1950.
3. In November 1950, David Martin, Executive
Secretary of the IRC met with George Carey, Assistant
Director for Operations, with as many as five proposals
for collaboration between CIA and IRC. One proposal was
for the support of a European Institute which would pro-
vide employment for displaced scientists, journalists,
etc. He was informed that CIA had no funds for financing ..
such a project.

Dear Mr. Sternberg:
As you might surmise, your organization is well
known to the Agency. Following the receipt of your
letter of 31 March 1976, a more definitive search for
information pertaining to your request was conducted.
No information was located which would indicate that
CIA has ever provided funds to the IRC either directly
or indirectly. I trust this letter will allay any
apprehensions your organization has had in this
matter.

If I can be of further assistance, do not

We met Charles Sternberg, Executive Director of the International

of our conversation,
Sternberg noted that we had shown quite a bit 
of interest in Soviet arrivals
(defectors) recently and suggested that it would be 
of a great advantage to
us if we were able to introduce ourselves 
as, for instance, representatives
of a scientific institute rather than Agency 
employees.

simplify our problem of making initial contact with USSR nationals. They are
particularly sensitive and suspicious, and 
CIA has a very ominous meaning to
them according to Sternberg.
3. We explained to Sternberg that we cannot do what he suggested, but
in turn we suggested that in instances where 
a new arrival is ill at ease,
we should wait a few weeks or months until 
the new arrival has settled down
,
found a place to live, and hopefully, a satisfactory 
place of employment..
4. We did, however, tell Sternberg that we will discuss his suggestion
with our associates interested in this particular 
problem.

he has friouis in New York City whom he could use for this purpose.

When we opened the discussion with the statement that we

his part, he wished to have no contact at

of a refugee to whom harm later came, it would
cause him great anguish.

his objections were those of principle rather than of manner of approach
by the NYFO. At no time during our 
conversation with him did he make
any objection to the procedure set up between him and c/s 
Elliff to
facilitate the acquiring of the information we 
requested. We do not 
have
any doubts that Cummings did indeed make the statements 
attributed to him
in reference memo, but it is at least interesting 
that he specifically
refuted them in our presence. After displaying nothing 
but hostility
toward the Agency, during our entire meeting, he 
invited us to call 
upon
him in the future if he "could ever do anything 
for us personally."
Obviously we do not expect to contact him on any basis 
in the future

we are certain that he does not anticipate 
further inquiries from this
office.

handle the 
in-
flux of refugees. As can be seen from the memo, Cummings
was cooperative and, in fact, offered more assistance to us
than we later requested. We spoke on the telephone 
with
Cummings a few weeks later to say that, in all likelihood,

1. Dr. Edgar Lowell, a contact of ours at the John Tracy.
Clinic, 806 W. Adams Blvd., Los Angeles 7, California, 
where a
great deal of electronic research is carried on concerning deaf-
ness, has advised us that he has been nominated as the 
Program
Chairman for the International Congress on Education of the Deaf,
which will be held in June 1963. The host for this 
Conference 
will
be the Council on Education of the Deaf and the Congress will be held
at Gallaudet College, Washington, D.C. The Coordinater for this
International Congress will be Dr. Powrie V. 
Doctor of Gallaudet
College, who will be working with the State Department on 
this 
par-
ticular Congress.

-uses-5564
As Chairman of the Program Committee, Dr. Lowell will be
required to go to Europe to attend a meeting of a similar European
group planning their annual congress for about the 
same time, and
will visit Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, England 
and Scandinavia
to check on attendees. There is a possibility 
that he will also go
to Yugoslavia at the same time.
3. As a side-line it is also possible that Dr. Lovell will go
to Moscow where he will visit Prof. E.N. Sokolov,

ported through Dr. Lovell on both Sokolov and Prof. A. R. Luriya,
and continuing correspondence between Sokolov and Dr. 
Lowell has
also been reported.
4. The Soviets will be invited to this Congress and if the
present cordial relationship still exists unaltered by world events,
no doubt Sokolov and/or others will certainly be 
interested if not
attend this meeting.

responsible for which, of course, is still in the formative 
stage

in this particular matter, and entertain why suggestions you might
have towards working with Dr. Lowell.

Dear Mr. MacCrackent
I thought you would like to know that the International Rescues
Committee 
has organised a Commission of distinguished Americans
who will 
visit Europe to investigate the refugee situation and
iams a 
report on their return. We envision that the Courdission's
report 
would highlight the following factors.
A
1. The conditions and needs of those Forgotten Mon who
have been sitting in refugee camps for years or who
are inadequately resettled outside of camps.
portion of the report will be devoted to the Hungarian
refugees who are still in campo.
2. Make specific and general recommendations as to what
can be done in the future to meet the needs of the
"Forgotten Hea".
Aside from highlighting the factors just mentioned, we feel that
the 
Commission's report can surve, among others, the following
constructive purposes.
1. By dramatising and humanising the problems of
European Escapees, we believe that the Commission
can help to create a climate of public opinion
conducive to :
2.
8.
Nore generous support for U.S. programa
concorned with the refugees, both private
and governmental.
b. More flexible immigration legislation.
Pho report of the commission will, of coures, incorporate
information from the survey now being propered by the UNHCR,
Indect, we feel that the Commission can be of great assist
ance to the UNSCR by bringing his revert and the refugee
situation in general to the attention of the Ameriona

public. We believe that the commission is empecially qualified
to fulfill this function since they are a group of private
Americans talking to fellow Americans,
The Commission will leave for Nurope on October 15th and roturn
on October 31st. Enclosed you will find their tentative
schodule
and a list of Commission members as of this date.
In addition to the obervations of the Commission, their final
report will, of course, also represent intensive research on
the part of our staff.
We have asked our overseas representativos, in the countries
which the Commission will be visiting, to provide at least ons
opportunity for representatives of your organization to meet
with the Commission if they wish to do so. If your represents-
tives desire to moot with the Commission to discuss soma
specific aspect of the refugee problem, I suggest that they
contact our representative in the country where they are
stationed.
I have not been in a position to write to you about the Commission
before this since the Commission plans have just been finalised.
If you desire further information, I am at your cervico.

1. Reference is made to the name check request from your office
dated 28 January 1957, for information concerning John ALEXANDER-SICLAIN.
The files of this office and those of a predecessor organisation oratais
considerable information concerning subject, the major part of which is
not derogatory. This information includes reports of Bubject's personal
views as of January 1943 on political and econmale conditions in Shanghai,
China, which could be made available to your office upon request. Fallow-
ing is information which may be deemed derogatory in one case and of intelli-
gence interest in the other.
2. A usually reliable source reported in September 1951 that Subject,
then the director of the office of the High Commissioner for Refugees and
an official at the British Foreign Office, accompanied the High Commissioner
to Italy on his first unofficial trip in July 1951. Source stated that
Subject was not at all tactful in his dealings with Italian officials and
thus he met passive resistance. Furthermore, acting on behalf of the
Commissioner and very eager to put at once as many British agents as possible
into positions under the Commissioner's cover, Subject appointed Marual
DE MAR, Chairman of the International Refugee Organization (IRO) Review
Board, to the position of representative in Italy. According to Source,
this annoyed Prince DEL DRAGO, Italian envoy to IRD in Geneva, Switserland,
who stated that as long as IRO was functioning, there would be no other
refugee representative working in Italy and that, after all, the Commissioner
had to be first recognised by the Government. DS HEAR was said to be "peracus
non grata" to the Italians.
•
3. According to a report dated 7 January 1954 from a fairly reliable
source, it had been reported by various sub-sources that John ALEXAHTER,
British, Delegate to Italy of the High Commissioner of the United Nations
for Refugees, was a parson to be considered rather politically dubious.
According to Source, on several occasions he had been excessively interested
in favoring foreigners in Italy who had received expulsion notices as a
result of their commercial activity and political contacts with Iron Curtain
countrieв. Source stated that subject was further reported to to on very
friendly terms with Italians and non-Italians who were clearly oriented
toward the parties of the extreme left.

World War II by the Russian Army. His family lost the mill and 
the farm.

escape.

The Turning Point
On June 17th, 1933 one of the most
significant events of the 20th century took
place. The inhabitants of the Soviet Zone of
Germany rose in rebellion against their
Communist overlords. For eight years they
had been living under conditions of slavery
and starvation..
The insurrection began in East Berlin on
June 16th. It was begun initially by a few
workers but within hours it had spread to
every level of the population. By the 17th
of June the uprising had spread throughout
the East Zones a completely unorganized,
spontaneous revolt,
At 11:00 o'clock the morning of June.
16th the workers in block 10, Stalin Allee,
decided to organize a demonstration to pro-
test the raising of the work norm by the
regime. By 2:00 o'clock that same after
noon, the mob of people which had grown
from 200 to over 20,000 became revolu
tionaries. Surging in front of the East Zone
Government building in East Berlin, they
demanded not only the lifting of the norms
but free secret elections, the unification of
Germany and the abdication of the East
German government,
The stories contained here are the stories
of a few of those brave men and women
from East Germany who played leading
roles in the revolt and had to flee to the
West. They are representative, of 4,000
leaders, many of whom have subsequently
been sentenced to death by Communist
courts. Some were intellectuals and profess
sionals. Most of them were workmen. All
are men who deserve the undying gratitude
and support of free men everywhere.

A CONSTRUCTION WORKER
WOLFGANG THEUHIGH was a building con.
struction laborer working on Block 40, Stalin
Allee.)
"When the work norms were increased the
men were furious. We began daily to gather in
small groups before and after work. The fear
that had made us so cautious gradually began
to dissolve. There was, after all, little more
to lose.
"By the morning of June 16 we were reso-
lute. As always, we entered the building on
which we were working and took our sta
tions. But this day we sat down and refused to
work. There was no organization, no leader.
but each man knew what had to be done. The
foreman dashed in gaping with disbelief. His
eyes turned to the spot where the norm in-
crease order had been posted. Two men
walked in with a freshly painted sign-The
Work Norms Must Be Decreased. The cour
age of these men inspired the rest of us to
action.
"A concrete worker leaped onto a heap of
stones. I leave it to you as individuals! Those

weeping with joy.».
"Immediately we began to march in the
street unafraid. We started out with. 80 reso
lute men. By the time we arrived at the gov,
ernment building we were 6,000 strong. Over
the tumult of the crowd, a man shouted into
my ear. "This is the most beautiful day of my
life!"
The “Free Youth” Revolt

munist Youth Movement FFDJ\ is a dark
haired girl of ticenty with peri, intelligent
eyes.)
"Ax1 stood in the crowd before the govern.
ment building, a fellow instructor came up to
me and told me to take careful note of the
people sympathetic to the demonstration and
give him a complete report that evening. I was
embarrassed by his apparent hurry to leave
the square and told him if he was so afraid
for his life he häd better jump on a tram in a
hurry and get out.
"A few minutes later i forced my way
through the crowd and jumped to the rostrum,
Many people recognized me as a devoted mem
ber of the FDJ. They hooted and taunted me."
Never before had I realized how hated the FDJ
was. Infuriated by the refusal of the Commn.
nist leaders to appear and by the open coward.
ice of my male FDJ companion, I tore off my..
FDJ jacket and threw it to the ground. The
jeers became cheers.
"I gathered my strength and shouted a
warning to the crowd that members of the
FDJ and SED were in the crowd and would
not only try to dissuade them from the demon-
stration but also would report them. I shouted,
'Do not allow them to break you up! Stick to̟-
gether!' People began to examine their neigh-
bors. Fist fights started as the hated Commu-
nists were spotted. I wanted to say more, but
my strength was gone. A new life had begun
for me."
The Revolt Spreads
AN ENGINEER
(N.N., A Mechanical Engineer, Brandenburg.)
"There were only twenty in my group as we
marched into the Brandenburg area. At that
time we knew only that, according to a broad-
cast from West Berlin, the workers in East
Berlin were on strike. Although we knew that
strikes in the Communist Zone were consid-
ered political crimes and punishable by two
years in prison, we marched on with a feeling
of exhilaration. As we strode along we beck-
oned to the people on the pavement and in a
few minutes our number had increased to
about five hundred.
"As we approached a factory protected by
high iron gates, we noticed employees shout-
ing from the windows. We have been locked
in Come, help us. We will go with you." A pile
driver was found and we'stormed the gates.
The employers rushed out and embraced us.
"At this time, we still thought we were the
only demonstrators in the city. As we neared
the center of the city, we were amazed and
overjoyed to find thousands of prople converg-
ing from all directions. We had not fully real
ized that our people, constantly intimidated
by spies and police controls, could rise up as
one, man without a strong central leadership,
no weapons-nothing but determination and
hope. We were overwhelmed at what we raw."
The Red Flag At Brandenburg Gate
Comes Down … ….
A TRUCK DRIVER
(HORST BALLENTIN is a 20-year-old truck driver
of East Berlin.)
"I looked down into the crowd and saw
three Soviet officers looking helplessly up-
ward as I climbed to the top of the tower and
shinnied up the pole. I flung the flag to the
ground with great contempt and watched the
people tear it to pieces. They applauded and
shoulted in a way I had never heard before.

-Two hours later when I had the honor of
installing the Bear Flag of West Berlin
, the
Russians had brought three 
tanks into the
square. As I began pulling up the 
flag they be

I was able to finish my
task and jump to the ground. The

I was safe."

“After we disarmed the Vopos (People's

union of the

-We asked them to spread the word along
on their way to Berlin. At this 
time we still
thought that rebellions were taking 
place only
in Magdeburg and Berlin. We were 
jubilant a
few hours later when we 
learned from RIAS

Prisoners Are Freed.
A LOCKSMITH
WERNER MENGELSDORF is a locksmith. He led
the heroic liberation of 80 political prisoners
in Magdeburg.)
"A mob 3,000 strong stormed into the court-
yard of the prison in Magdeburg. The prison.
ers pressed their worn, pale faces against 
the
bars. A woman in the crowd 
started to scream
as she recognized her husband who had 
been
arrested only two days before.
"The wooden doors of the prison splintered
under the weight of the surging crowd. The
guards fled. The metal door 
to the cell block
was pried open. Mengelsdorf called 
for the
locksmiths and together they 
opened the cell
doors. Indescribable scenes 
followed. One
prisoner cried, Freedom! Freedom!"
, then
fell to the floor crying. A young 
man sen-
tenced to 25 years for crimes against 
the state
stepped out of his cell into the arms of the 
girl
'
to whom he had been engaged. 
Neither knew
the other was there until the doors 
opened
.
They embraced, wordless.
“Soviet tanks rumbled into the prison yard
before all the prisoners could be 
released.
Mangelsdorf himself barely escaped 
with his
life. His only route of escape lay in 
swimming
the Landwehrcanal which separates East 
and
West Berlin at certain spots. He 
waited until
dark and then made it, narrowly 
escaping
death from Soviet bullets which peppered 
the
water around him. He is today in one 
of the
camps in West Berlin, destitute 
but resolved
that one day will come when 
all of East Ger-
many as well as the satellite 
countries will
again be free."

We have promised Mr. Becker to pass on his request to our superiors, but we
told him that we were not aware of CIA facilities
