Enclosed for the Bureau is one copy of an

article which appeared in the publication "Special," a

Belgian magazine, dated 1/12/67.

This was furnished by GEORGES VAN CAKENBERGHE

of the Belgian Police on 1/13/67.

The article, which

appeared on pages 31-37, indicated that a Belgian seaman

by the name of PEETERS had been advised of the possible

assassination of KENNEDY prior to his death and had

written to various United states officials, including the

president and the Director of the BlissfUSSk

The article states-that he had received informa-

tion in a bar in Antwerp, Belgium, on the night of 9/4/63

from a Soviet national named IVAN RUTSCHARENKO, who was

accompanied by four or five other persons, that president

KENNEDY would not celebrate Christmas with his family and

that he would be dead and buried by that time.

The article

contains a copy of a letter from the Director advising that

his letter had never been received by the FBI and that his

communication was being forwarded to the U..S. Secret Service.

Paris file contains a copy of this letter addressed to Mr

Louis/de Witt, Rue Breendonk 64, WilLebroes, Belgium,

dated

"October 30,

1964.

interested United States agencies.
