" ; ; ; i 5 Aronson is one of those who in Paris sees the most soviet visitors of all kind,Phrough the Dr.Iasry I met last year 8 group of soviet physiciens. We know the ronson” for years,but it is the first time that he got really talkative.He related quite a. number of things - ‘ ebout his encounters with soviet citizens who come to france and go we learned that he invites them regularely to his re- gtaurant/"Dominic",19,rue Bréa,Paris 6/ - sometimes as many ag 15 to 20 persons.Moreover soviet citizens of a1] kind : artista, psinters,actors and directors of theatre,but also journalists - for instance from "Pravda" and *Tzvestya" ,come to see him privately in his house. Last night however he talked mainly about various visits he had in the past.He did'nt mension once somebody who is pre- sently or was recently in Paris.When JI asked him if he had not seen kham now,these last days,he said :"no,nobody” and he added that the last time,since thé Tchecoslovaquia events the soviet visitors became far less numerous.This might be true,but I had impression thet? it was on purpose that Aron- 3on did not want to tell about recent visits he had. received. He is a very cautious man and as he net yesterday for the l-st time the Dr.Laery and his wife he perhaps did not want to tell too much about this. , We established recently very friendly reletiona with the Aronson and yesterday's gathering certainly contributed to tighten our link with them.It remains to be seen if in the futur he will reveal more about his encounters with the so- viet visitors «nd if he will be willing to help us meeting with then. ; What can be established elready is that he certainly ia well sa _- gonnected with a number of them and that his restaurant is : = place where they cone frequontly.Wnat is his purpese of © meeting them ?
