He is a self-employed architect whom they ‘ first met in Toronto. MASHEN was born in Harbin. " .Soye BORODKIN, 419 - h2nd Ave., San Francisco, a single woman they both knew in Shanghai. ' 23. ROE produced a copy of a letter to one P.K. FAINITSKY in Wellesley, Mass. from Herman MUENSTER, which outlines the methods used to transfer money, also the address of the recipient, Mrs. SKOURIHINA. The letter is attached hereto. Also attached is a copy of an account statement prepared by MUENSTER for ROE, showing the names of some of the persons involved in the money transfer. You will note that SIDOROFF's and FUZZY's names are shown for March, 1956.

ROE was a bombardier corporal with light gun battery of the Shanghai - Volunteer Corps prior to the Japanese occupation. In. addition, ROE stated that his brother, Michael, had been a member of the Shanghai Soviet Citizens! Association and was active in social, sports, and dramatic activities with the association. ROE contended that he was probably being ‘confused with his brother. , 25. With regard to identity documents used during his lite, ROE explained up until the Japanese occupation he had used a certificate of identity obtained through registration with the Russian Emigrant Society and issued by the Shenghai City Government. ROE's certificate, No. 2376, is attached. During the war he and his wife used certificates of identity issued by the Shanghai Police (under control of the Japanese Military). After the war, the city government of Shanghai | again issued certificates of identity and ROE was only able to produce his wife's, No. 16620, which is attached. You will note on the back cover the stamp of the Russian Emigrant Society dated February 5, 1945. This organization: is not to be confused with the Soviet Citizens' Association. RO stated that in 198 (using a city directory) the Emigrant Society maintained offices at lane 118, House 1, Mowming Rd., Shanghai. ROE states he has always been shown as a former Russian or stateless in all documentation. 26. After the war he allowed his membership in the Russian Emigrant Society to lapse, however, he turned to them for aia when it was apparent that the Chinese Communists would soon be taking over the country. The Russian Emi grent Society were planning to evacuate Russian emigrants to the island of Samar in the Philippines. ROE decided against this because of the unhealthy conditions for His daughter, but was required to pay all his back dues in the organization. He then requested them to attempt to obtain U.S. visas for him and his family. At this time he and his wife had obtained I.R.O. Pravel Documents 00350 and 00351, which they used to enter Canada eventually. They are endorsed with Canadian and Brazilian visas and are attached hereto for examination. 27. When, discussing his occupation as a menufacturers'! agent, ROE mentioned that he had purchased some samples of - burricane lamps and ski poles from the firm of Universal, Foreign Trade Enterprise, Warsaw. ROE spoke to their repres- entatives, Barbara KWIeK and Wanda BOROWSKA, in August, 1962 at their booth at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto regarding the import of camping and sporting goods. ROE subsequently corresponded with the firm and prodtted the invoices for the goods imported. The business cards of the above-mentioned persons are attached. - , Docld: 323468311 Page i1
aw / { \ (ge. -~9- 286 ROE and his wife are purchasing their home at 129 Haddon Avenue South, Hamilton and living with them is their daughter, Catherine, a student. They are members of St. Paul's Anglican Church at Haddon and King Streets in Hamilton. ROE and his wife are not members of any other association. 29. ROE has instituted an enquiry with his band in an effort to unearth further corroborating evidence of his dealings with FUZZY and others. He also met with his friend, Paul POLOTSKY, after our initial interview and casually asked him about the Paragon Book Store and Ebel ROMAN of Roman's Book Store. Neither POLOTSKY nor the bank is aware of the reasons for his enquiry, other than general curiosity. Mrs. ROE will be corresponding with her mother shortly and will ask for a general rundown on the persons who supplied money to her in China, and also her knowledge of their agents outside of China. Mrs. ROE will not indicate the real reason for the enquiry. Mrs, SKOURIHINA is now residing at Sommerweg 42, Hamburg, Larup, Germany. oe Comments on the Interview 30. In reviewing the results of the ROE interview, we find he has related a rather convincing personal account ‘of his life which tends to indicate that his dealings with FUZZY were not of an R.I.S. nature. ROE's recollection that he forwarded a total of approximately $200 for deposit in a bank account at Peace Raver, Alberta in 1955 or 1956 compares favourably with our information which indicates 3 total deposits of $228.50 for the period October 5, 1955 to May 1, 1956. The results of the bank inquiry instituted by ROE will be passed to you when received, as will the outcome _of Mrs, ROE's inquiry to her mother in be rmany e
