chance receive from her a note in
which she stated that she was in
the environs of New York on the

hands of the organization which
by all kinds of threats and intimi-

refuse to return to her fatherland

Union. Going to the address cited
in the letter the Soviet Consul In

however. they did not succeed in
doing.
