At the time of the effective constitution of the

The members of this directorate' are

unknown to the members of the "D.R. I.t."

Their docisions

are transmitted to the members of the "D.R.I.L." or to the

organizations called "Jurato."

Each "jurato" is designated by a letter (a.b.(...)

The "jurato" is directed by one who agreed to

Shortly after it was set up, two tendencies

The agents

entrusted with missions in Europe and

Africa have the title of "commando.**

This teim means that

those agents operate individually in the carrying out of

their missions

and that the mode of execution is left to

their own initiative.

It is to be noted that a commando holds no

leading function within the "D.R.I.L."

The special missions are entrusted according

: to

the competence of each one.

Thus "RAFAEL MARIA," an

accountant,

has Charge ot the distribution of monies in

Europe.

"PEPE" who is an idealist looks especially after

propaganda,, recruiting and

execution missions in Spain.

The commandoes may not be acquainted among

themselves; the Caracas "Centrale"

takes care of the

liaison in

the case of necessity

As regards recruiting, the "commando" normally

operates in this way:

Then, the commando

breaks off all contact with

the candidate and warns the "Centrale."

After the "Centrale" has referred the matter to the

special secretariat, it corresponds with the candidate,

which will

enable him to bring

out his personality, and his qualifications.

It is to be noted that the emphasis is on the eventual obligation

for the candidate to work in Spain.

After the special secretary"s approval, the

candidate is accopted and a mission is entrusted

to him.

Before this, the candidate has given an address where he can

be contacted.

however, it has happened

that the correspondence

between a candidate "JUANJ0:,

for instance,

and the "Centrale"

was written in code, at the request of the commando.

The following centers of the "D.R.I.L." have been

mentioned:

- Paris; under the cover of "MIRKO"

under that of VALAT YVON

- Spanish Morocco, under that of SOPRA, JOSE

- Switzerland, under that of XIZANA.

We were able to dotermine that a transit line

exists between France (Toulouse) and Spain (Barcelona).

That

line follows the following itinerary: Toulouse,

*Andorra,

Barcelona,

and is served by the "Andorra" taxis in Barcelona,

14 and 15

In Toulouse itself, the "VALAI" group takes the

Before leaving on their mission, the agents receive

a list of names and addresses to which they may go and ask

for aid in the case of necessity.

generally, they are

members of anti

Franco organizations or of sympathizers.

Thus, the members of the "D.R.I.L." have turned to

"La Populaire"

they appeared as Spanish Republicans,

anxious to contael

In its turn, "Ta

PENA was able toput up the parties in the house

of the DONENGUEZ Brothers who are members of the A.R.t.u.

"I an glad that it is fine."

Then, follows the code message proper written only

in figures. It consists of a certain number of groups of

Dach group means a whole word. This word is to be
