[158]in the capacity ‘of Special Sales Représentative, He. is well known to
[159]Deuglas C. HAE and Eleancr T. HARTRELL, the former naving known hir
[160]socially for 2 number of years and the latter having dealt with him on
[161]transportation froblems since his appointzent, fifteen months ago, to the
[162]position he now occupies with THe:
[164]2. Subject is alse a long-tine friend of OMOTED, whe brought him
[165]to our attention-as a potential recruit and who has provided us-with the
[166]’ biographical information ecntained in the attached pers onal record fora ; :
[168]No. 51-6 Te
[170]: 3. Fron vhat I have 3 been ‘able to. gather, from UIIOVED, 4s vell as
[172]from HARE and 2A? BARTTELL, subject appears to-be the type of ‘individual which
[174]might be ideally suited tc fulfill certain valuable cperation2l as jsignm. mts
[176]in‘France, such as Wepotter” Cor other high-level potential agerts, high-
[178]level contacts, cuteout, etc. All who know him agree that subject is capable
[180]of "doing any pening and getiing to know: anyone" if-hé so chooses, ‘Apparently
[181]subject, déspite the "brass" hich"surrounds his perceptible personality, is~
[182]‘a, rerious-nimded, intellicent.. and. patriotic individual who nas had much ex—
[183]perisace along, lineg wilich could be of usé to this organization, as, well as - .
[184]an uncanny knack of, being ‘able to introduce land. ingratiate hinself into ‘prac- _ ;
[185]tically’ any. siilieu of inter to his work -ar- wishes. A partial Mst of ° 2. 2 20
[186]subject's fairly close friends, as, reported by UN MCVED on "page fea of attacha . ’ an
[187]nent, shows the variety cf people subject. Knows and’ sees whenéver they are.

[207]“when questionéd as to his opinion concerning subject's “soteatial value
[209]5S, it is our*thought that per!

[222]. not been possible and: subject is .at present seeking: ancther more remner=
[223]‘ative position, since’ he claims that his present incone of approximately
[225]$666.00 monthly (including expense account) is ‘insufficient to permit: him
[226]to live in Paris and maintain the contacts and activity required by his
[228]“ job. According to UNCVED, subject is at present endeavoring to secure 7
[230]from his good friend Benjamin KATZ(President of the Gruen Watch Co.) the
[231]sales agency for Gruen watches in Europe, Meamzhile, however, subject is
[232]not contemplating resigning his pesition with TWA until he has a firm and
[233]more reminarative pesition. UNUCVED states that subject plans to remain
[235]_ with TWA at least until the end of the year, by which tine he may have
[237]secured something better. Subject has also had talks with James A. PARIFY
[239](on his recent trip to France) concerning the possibility of handling the
[241]Coca-Cola agency here. Nothing has come cf this possibility to date, but '
[242]subject appears to be hopeful, . .
[244]7e UNNCYED is of the opinion that subject would be nost receptive
[245]to a proposition of doing intelligence work and furthermore believes that
[246]if subject could supplement his present income: by an additional $200 or
[247]$300 per sonth, he would be willing to reuain-with- Tia, vhich he likes
[248]and i3 only considering leaving due ‘to his present low total income, much
[250]‘of which is spent in connection with activities required by his position.
[252]8. “yimovep has, of course, msver even hinted to subject anything
[253]about his oma undercover activities and {s sure subject does not suspect
[254]that the’ forner is doing anything but his cover work in France. UNMOVED, |
[256]as a covert. agent, ‘as Well as “hig rec-uitability, has pointed ‘out very

[1023]interest to you as a potential candidate for recruitment, thus bringing to
[1024]“a head a question which normally would have followed its course through the
[1026]mill. In this case, however, cue te Cubsect's alleged resignation from TWA,
[1027]we felt that a cable such as the one we dispatched was justified, die te the
[1029]fact that unless seme quick action is taken, Subject will definitely leave his
[1031]Fresent, Job with TY. and seek employment elsexhere. “
[1033]2e Cn 10 Nacemver, Subject had luncheon with EA\RF and unloaded all his
[1034]Ina casial way HARK asked him if by any chance he would
[1035]be willing to stay on at Tva if his salary were supplemented. Subject took
[1036]eagerly to this ressibility, since it is well-known that Subject likes his
[1037]Job and decires very much to remain, but is resigning merely for financial
[1038]reason3. In consultation with UNvGVSD and HARES, both of whom knew Subject
[1039]well, it is arparent that probsbly $300 monthly would allow Subject to decide
[1040]to stay with TA, provided we are suffictlently interested in recraiting him
[1042]for intelligence ectivitias.

[1091]for the company to give him mre mney within the present wese structura. Subject
[1092]therefor decided to seex other erployront. On or about 15 hoverber subject wae
