C. .SABBAGH stated that DAJANY is fair | complexioned, light brown eyes, brown hair, and is os | Jordanian. He attended American University in Beirut, A Lebanon, and has a Ph.D from a Washington, D, C. university in 1957. SABBAGH stated he has been well acquainted with DAJANY since 1954. SABBAGH said DAJANY is socially charming, -has--a ready wit, and fancies himself as a social butterfly. | “In 1957, DAJANY's wife asked for a divorce, but this did not . matetialize The two, according to SABBAGH, have been reconciled LAC) SABBAGH stated that DAJANY would often gloat about his friendship with the late King ABDULLAH of Jordan and the present King, HUSSEIN. He said DAJANY had been second in command at the Jordanian Embassy in Washington, D. C. up to ‘ 1953, when he resigned to join the World Bank. At the time of DAJANY's resignation, there was cause for some gossip with some saying he was discharged but DAJANY denied this saying } . that it was proposed to recall him to Jordan. SABBAGH said pene Ea that DAJANY reported that he refused because he was planning 3} 7 on furthering his education in Washington and therefore resigned. - SABBAGH said that DAJANY expresses fondness for the United States because of DAJANY's social acceptability, his American \ friends, and comforts of the United States. SABBAGH said - 7 DAJANY had been critical of policies of the United States in the Near East, é¢specially in connection with the Palestine question, . but 1e was’ no less critical of the Arab policies at the time of the Palestine issue.

DAJANY is also conscious of having been seen with his wife attending social functions at the Soviet Embassy, however, DAJANY claims his name would still be on the ‘register of the Soviet Embassy from the days when he was an officer of the Jordanian Embassy. SABBAGH said that although he could not say that DAJANY was actually loyal to the United States "from a legalistic view point, (indeed his not being a citizen of the United States saved him from such. expected loyalty) he would say that he would not harm the United States' interests for the sake of the Soviets.

According to DAJANY, MOURAD came to Washington from New York about once a month at which time they would get together for luncheon or a. drink and discuss current topics and the thesis which MOURAD was ‘preparing. Oftentimes DAJANY furnished information which required MOURAD to take notes and DAJANY made notes of what was being discussed.. Never at any time did MOURAD give DAJANY any money and at no time would he discuss with or furnish MOURAD any information which could conceivably be of any intelligence value to the Israelis. DAJANY denied that he knew MOURAD was associated or employed by the Israeli Government in the United States and felt confident: that MOURAD was not an intelligence agent. DAJANY could recall ‘that at least on two occasions he had received a magazine from MOURAD and on one of these occasions the magazine contained a manila: envelope in which there was the thesis | on which MOURAD was working.

DAJANY vigorously and categorically denied any such occurrence. He said that it may have been one of the times that he received a thesis which had been enclosed in the magazine but never any soner.

He reported to DAJANY that he was a student at Baltimore, Maryland and indicated a fair knowledge of the Middle East. and of Jerusalem. The man asked about the welfare of certain families in Jerusalem known to DAJANY, He appeared to know the location of the tomb of DAJANY's father and they also discussed a little Arab girl who had been operated on by a Doctor DIAMOND in Boston whose trgatment was made possible by DAJANY's intercession.

In connection with sizeable sums of money received by OAJANY, as determined by previous investigation, DAJANY said no such funds were coming into his possession and. welcomed the examination of his accounts and personal belongings. After repeated questions concerning financial arrangements between DAJANY and MEDAN or ZUTA, DAJANY recalled that he had received various amounts of money for a period of over three years. He explained that approximately five years ago while in Europe, he met a Mr. FALKHIRSCH, whom DAJANY described as a real estate man from Israel. . DAJANY, who, with his family, has considerable real estate and bank accounts in Israeli held Jerusalem, was advised by FALKHIRSCH to make application to the Custodian of Enemy Property in Israel, in order to draw the proceeds from rents of the property and part of the savings in banks in Israel. DAJANY said he waited a while, possibly until about three years ago, when he made application to the Custodian (the name of the Custodian and the place to which he directed the application was unknown to DAJANY).
