Dear Sir:

Mir. G.?. Wethered of MI-5 has asked that I obtain from

the Bureau any information they may have on an American journalist

named JOHN PITAN who is believed to be a correspondent of the

New York "Daily "orker," and who has recently been touring

Turope in that capacity: According to r. "ethered, he is said to

be a member of the American Communist Party and is

certainly in

touch with Communists in the United States. It is believed

he is editor of a Party paper in san Francisco.

He recently re-

turned to England from Poland and is believed to have been in

London during larch of this yoar (S)

Ir. "ethered also stated PITAN was said to be manifesting

considerable interest in the doings of an American official named

DALLAS. DALLAS is said to be a high executive on the economic

side in the American zone of fermany (S)

I would appreciate receiving

at the earliest possible

date any information the Bureau may have on subject PITAi and

his present work, and if known the length of his stay on the

Continent.

very truly yours,

J. A.

Cimperman,
