I also would like you to know that I am quite an experienced public speaker and lecturer, and that I forked maw years as an editor of the Ullstein Press in Berlin, which?as you probably know--was the last citadel of democracy and anti-Hitlerism in that unhappy country. So much just for your information, so that you might not think that I belong to the dreamy, im- practical, and inexperienced variety of woman fiction-writers.

Since that time VLci Bauh, has been writing otMr books, doing work in Hollywocd, and gave up Germany because of anti-Nazi prop- aganda which he was doing in the Ulistein periodicals. She has now completed her tork in Hollywood, and has come East. She came to Jiy house last Sunday and Said she would like to do something for the Government, '.hether it be here or elsewhere, along antl?Nazi lines. She writes very fluently and I am sure she is as honest and straight as the day is long, hates the Nazis with a fierce ingrown hatred so much so that five years ago or there.:4bouts she took out papers and has since become an American citizen, and really and honestly believes she could be of some help. She didn't :_now how to go about offering her services and was afraid she would not gain audience wth you in a direct approach so i am presuming on an old friendship to ask If there is any chance you or yoar associates would interview her. i am sure you woad find her most interesting and cL person of no ean abA.ity. J. know you working awfully hard on much more isportftnt things than shooting and loafing around South Carolina but i am moving aown there for the winter, vihero we have good duck shooting and lots of fun and occasionally a drink, and if you could ever find time to hop down for a weekend or as long as you could stay, you would find a war welcome awaiting you.

I told him that we appreciated his offer of service, and that, if interested further, we would communicate with him. I made the same comment regarding him to Mr. Robineau, whom I saw separately. Robineau believes that Barthelemy is very anti-Vichy and anti-Axis and can be depended upon. I would suggest that both Robineau and Barthelemy be checked through the usual channels. I am impressed by Barthelemy's background of experience, but he does not make an agree - ane impression on casual acquaintanceship. f, however, his bona fides are correct, he ight be very useful, ?

Dear Colonel Donovan: My general understanding of yol.G:.jXtftflt work leads me to come to you direct with the followillg information regarding a situation in Canada which may require investigation. This Information was given to me, not as gossip, but with the idea that it could be passed up to the proper authorities: it wus known that in the last war I frequently reported both to General R. H. Van Deman and General hunk T. Hines Chief of Embarkation. have been told now that our American aviauors who um frrying planes from the west coast to Canada and to Newfoundland are not meeting with what they consider decent tretAttent by the British (or the Canadians) at the landing fields.

At the Lake 4471.E.r-L in Newfoundland, I was told the conditions ere even more uncomfortable and the feeling is beginning to run high. The way I got it was "And how they hate the British" -- and a bit stronger than that! There was this same type of misunderstanding in- the last war, much of it unnecessary, beeause they were only tempermental differences. I met it head on in England when I landed there with out troops in 1918. My hope is that what I am telling you is likewise not serious, and that it can be taken care of, and something done for our men who do come in there rather worn out from the kind of work they are doing.

Kimbel, recommend the above for serious consideration. In my opinion, he is a rare individual combining many qualities of particular value to you and your special needs. I showed you his letter to me asking if he oodd bo of service. Following is a brief summary of his attributes asI know them end appraise them: Age, about 35. Graduate Princeton; Fullba Ok Varsity football team; all round athlete. Very attractive appearance and personality. Has an exceptional ability to make friends. For many years with Raymond4hitcomb in ?hero of Philadelphia Offioe. Personally managed many of their cruises. Traveled all over world several timen. Is used to handling people with tact, but firmness. Later made head of Raymond Whitcomb London Has a host of friends who regard him highly, John Vi Qee8, Prdmidat Pennsylvania Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/09/19: CIA-RDP13X00001R000100120007-4 ON' ft" Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/09/19: CIA-RDP13X00001R000100120007-4 ver4t3r.s, rters, etc. he was offered several important positions with large corTOrations. Instead, he had initiative and courage to finance and organize a business of his own in Puerto Rico. That people think of him is evidenced by the fact that his friends financed this business. It has been successful. Be wrote to me that he and his wife could not be content unless he was being of service. wrote to him that I thought there might be an opportunity here but he would have to assume cost and responsibility of coming on here from Peurto Rico. Be didn't stop to ask questions but cabled he was leaving on next boat and apologized for not getting on a plane. Be couldn't get space (and he couldn't afford it). His boat is due to arrive on Deeember 28.

The ma:tn device utilized by foreign companies to effect a penetra- tion into American iniustry and actually impede re-armament for national defenses are patent control aad stock ownership. These two devices take various forma, the true aspects of which are oftea concealed threekfn the use of dummies and complicated financial and contractual relations. The evidence collected as a result of preliminary investigation by members of my staff indicates that the following is correct with respect to .anufee- turing certain metals, precision instruments, and devices essential to defense, including even actual military equipment. 1. The United States Government has been charged excessive Reel reasonable prices for essential war materials as a result of agreents between domestic and foreign companies. 2. Foreign companies have teker out patents in the United Status on eseential war materials for the purpose of blockint; American development. 3. Production ar,i.Price controls over important comoditios have tem ?stab/is:heti.; such arrangements are dictatea by foreiGn interests. 4. There have been divisions of world markets by patent acreemeats between domestic and foreign companies which give foreign interaots the right to determine when, where, and. how the American companies way cell certain military supplies. 6. The Vnited States Government has been charged excessive and un- reasonable prices as a result of oollumive bidding on army and navy contracts. 6 Patent agreemeato have been entered. into between domeetic and for- companies which require the exchange of militat7 seerets; information trantrmitted to foreign compan$,0e with apparent dioregard of the roA4 Zitary i tionhs been disclosed to foreign oampaniee ralvemomt ce itemized r alty pamntofia,patent licno Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/09/19: CIA-RDP13X00001R000100120007-4 PIMVP-SiV#AS_,?MOMMIN,00001, _IMIRONEW Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/0,9/192CIA-RDP13X00001R000100120007-4 .t. ..- iN2t,iv -. -'' tzt. 11, ? 1 0 , taking out patonto in foroig4 A tione on vltAt mtlit4 p-and Inottinia lioon000 Wiorovoldor, United atatoo oouounioo hlwo ettecloaort to ,oreien-rAtIona tho 000po of thou, 000rot militory invontiono.
