SUBIZCT: Investigation into the KRIVITSKY case ehe firm Of GavA; “nano! and | oe ee ee eee cme Te ape at present reexamining the WRLYITSKY case and are maxing again inquiries apout the firm of(GaAvda Jof Austeruam men- oo tioned in your a.m. letter. . Pending the results of these inquiries we herewith pass you the following inforaation additional to that sent to you by our CAH/S2/589 of 11-6-'52, that you may the sooner be able to form ‘an sccurnte idea of the case. i Fs In april 1951 your London, represenvative reccived from the ‘British’- acarding to information received by us from them ~ 4 report on the statemeats the Dutch sudject Henri Christiaan PIECK, born 15-4-1895 Den Helder, made concerming his activities for the Ris, In this report occur the names of "HANS", alias "HARRY", and NELTHa", alias "Sheodor MALY", alias Paul HARDT, while two dra- wings were attached to the report, which PibCK had made of: nECbULG" - Ignace REISS, and sf "HANS", In the book "This Deception" (published by DUELL, SLOAN & PEARC. - New York) the authoress Heide MascING tells, that in the first half of the thirties she was in contact with Ignace REISS, SORGE, KRIVITSKY, Paul Haadt, and "“FELIK", In the beginning of the Vth Chapter (p. 68) the authoress ives a description of Ri- chara SOrGw, sayinas among other things: "His cold blue eyes, ; slightly slanted and heavy browed, had retained their quality of looking amused for no reason at ail", | G seems a peculiar coinciuence, that pIECK in describing "HANS" says: "always appeared to be smiling", and "was slightly Asiatic . in’appearance". Though in some further points the two description do not quite tally, there is a possibility that "Hans" and SOkGE xr are idvenutical, and that for this reason that JORG was in the forme half of 1955 ap;ointed correspondent for Japan by the "Algemeen | Handelsblaa” of Amsterdam, and "HANS" had reportedly been commis- gioned to zo to Jupan (though according to PILC“ he had not obeyed the instruction). No doubt dede MASSING made much more detailed statements to the F.B.I. on her activities for the 21S than those laid down in her book; she nust aiso have given descriptions of the persons with whom she was in contact. . PIECK fave physical descriptions of his enclovers in.the #IS. It is recommenduble co examine whether the two descriptions of Paul YAawT taliy, and whether Hede.WASoiG may be able with the help of SIECK's irawing of "HaNS" ana the description to .wentify toe Letter. I¢ vould be advisavle also to snow to dede LASSiNt FIRE *s orivirs of Ignace AKISS to be able to check whether efter « st oe ye lS Fears TI.CK HaS been able to draw a good likeness of his former employers, and has done so with great fidelity. “@ should purticularly be grateful for the investigation of the XRIVLISKY case to possess copies of the statemeuts ilede UASSING made concerning her contacts with the iS, aud of KRIVITS-— {¥'8 stutewents regarding his contacts, targets, and other useful joforcmetion. . - Further -. fim 2 af wo i. “aoe uf r
