[145]1. A source who has given highiy reliable information in the past, and
[146]whom ve have no reason to question, bes stated that during 1943 one Luis
[147]TEDESCHI was either being considered for recruitment by/or was actually vork-
[148]ing for the RIS. According to the source, he was known to bave been active
[149]ac a member of the Bpanish Commmist Party. The address used by TEDESCHI
[150]during early 19.3 was Pichincha 969, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
[152]2. The Buénos,Aires Station hee determined that a Luis TEDESCHI, born
[153]2 February 1918, is listed in local police files az living at EL Donsdor 3150,
[154]telephone 58-3717. YPurther investigation is being corducted there. Unfortu-
[155]nately, Headquarters does not have the date and place of birth of Subject of
[156]paragraph 1, The source bas indicated that Subject vas probably born in Italy
[157]end may have been active in the Spaniah Civil War 1926-39. This, of course,
[158]could explain his involvement in the Spanish Commnist Party.
[160]3. It is requested that ‘Rome, Barcelona, and Madirid check btation and:
[161]<Base‘ files for any traces of Subject.-- Liaison and police contacts may be
[162]Spproached for any information available in their files.

[274]1. Headquartera regrets thet it has been unable to learn the date and place
[275]of birth of the Luis TEDESCHI who, according tu a usually reliable source, was being
[276]considered for recruitment in 1923 by the RIS, or was actually workinz for the EIS.
[277]As stated in Hidhd-6515, our seurce reported that the address used by TEDSCHL during
[278]the early part ef 1943 was Pichincha 969, “uenos Aires.
[280]haga been found in @ 1912 document hich anrears to have been based on censorship
[282]repcrts. This document indicates that TecusCi a address, as given above, was a
[283]ty cover address for a ule (Union Demooratica sspanola) manifesto sent from Cuba,
[285]Also one TuutSCHI, Estados Unido 436t, Buenos Aires, vas given as a cover address
[287]in a secret writing message. A copy of the pertinent portions of this document
[288]is attached.
[290]2. Colleteral information cn Lois TiDeSCHT of Pichincha 569, Buenos Aires,
[292]3. It is hoped that a unilateral surveillance on the Luis TEDEDCHI living at
[293]Bl Domador 3150, Buenos Aires, 1f instituted as the station planned, will be
[294]fruitful. Headquarters will be extremely interested in any further information on
[295]this individual you may be abie to develop, as it is possible that he may be linked
[296]with Communist and/or RIS activities in Cuba as well as being used locally by the RIS.
[298]1, As KUDESK is currently handling thia case, it is requested that the slug
[299]FEDKOOD not be used.

[1442]; exsployees, bourgeois, big and small and a large prorortinn of the soldiers
[1443]and the R,quetes. He says that everyone hopes for the victory of the Allics.
[1444]. In it there is a blind trust, especially when the U.S.. entered the war ap the
[1445]oo U.S. and Englani are the nost powerful countries in the world, especially with
[1446]the assintance of Russia. Only the Falancistes desire and plan for the victory
[1447]of Hitler, even though "there are many Falanzists too who taxe a vory black vow
[1448]of "Yin®,” He says the Bajority of people symathise with England. They have ... ._ .
[1449]complete faith in the Hictory of the Democracies. There are sup ortere of the |
[1450]USSR, but the inmense majority, according to our informant, do not like “eonturk em®
[1451]and prefer Democracy. H iz obviously rather muddled by the Falangist pro: aguds —

[1497]because he only read te sports "eas in the napers and did ot want to cnow any=

[1500]amunt of artillery there. He says ttat the p-litical force of the Falange and

[1502]s.mdicate oacause they can't pulp it, tvt they do not pay chair dues or take
[1503]them serioualy. Discontent has even reached tiie ranks Of ‘ie Falance. Many
[1504]Clerks, students, and peo;le w'> joined it thinking they “were going to steal the
[1505]music" are now v:ry discontented, and do not pay their dues, ani when they are
[1506]threatened with oeing expelied «hey say that is what they are waiting for, for
[1507]the Falange to play at "fisticuffs*, There are many officers in the army wo
[1508]are rot in agreement with tre Palance or the idea tnat Spain is to po to war,
[1509]The coat violent cp ositio:: comes from qeipo de Llano and Yarue. No one knows
[1510]where Queipo is coing and Yavue ‘s thcught to be in exile in the Frov. of Pontevedra, :
[1511]Both were cashiered, queipo for protesting against food leaving for Germany and : .

[1517]war", He says tiat they arz well-uniformed, just as well as Defore the war.
[1518]‘They have dismissed the 1941 Draft. He thinks that there was very little sympathy - 4
[1519]for the Division am: and tne seople lauched at thcge wro volunteered. 40 ‘
[1520]were forced to zo, cthers went cecause they were hungry, and there were, velinteers.
[1521]He says that survivors came back 1. a state of canic, there was a lack of food
[1522]amd equipment, several of then mutilated themselves in orzer to escape fron
[1523]this inferno. All say that the Russians srevery wellearmed and fight with
[1524]great courage.
[1526]HELP 7) THE NAZIS. — He says that his opinion is that a great deal of food is
[1527]taken to Germany, althouzh he can give nv details, bat if there is no food and olive
[1528]oil in Spain where is it? He says that in Torrelavesa the "Fabrica Continental® 4
[1529]is working at high pressure, maxing tyre covers, while in Spain transp-rt is held ‘
[1530]up for want of then.
[1532]THe CHUSCH. —- He says that it is not true that in the Church there are anti
[1533]German amd Anti~Falanzist sroups. The supporters<’of the Re-ime are the Falange,

[2374]When aaked what he would do if he sere in Spain and the Spanish people were |
[2375]involved in the war he answered — "would go to the mountains or spend a
[2376]bulle’ on the first officer who tried to force re®, He says that many Spaniards
[2377]would do the sane if Spain were forced into the war, because it wuld be so ,

[2381]SUPPORT GIVEN BY THS FRANQUTST BAQIME TO HITLER, —- He doss @& know the proporations
[2382]of this asaiatance but he says that volunteers continue to loaves for the frente
[2383]In the same way he thinks that if the Ogrmans did sot take proviaions f2on
[2384]8pain all the needa of the country would be eup lied. Mith thia idea he com
[2385]plains againgt the Germans and against Serrano Suner above all. Palangists in
[2386]uwrform are now only seen in parades.
[2388]WORESRS POR GERMANY — He says that a few months ago thay sent a great quantity
[2389]of workers to Germany, They were almost al] Galicians, and very fow fron Bilbao.
[2390]A little later they were returned because “they were being deceived", "petting
[2391]into difficultise*. When he was asked tobe more precise he egid that when they
[2392]- got to Germany they asked to be returnsd to Spain, and so they did with alnost
[2393]a all of then :
[2395]TERROR <—- Hs says thare are no persecutions or executions, When the exscution
[2396]Lerrenage aan mentioned he said that the people had no knowledge of those
[2397]erimss, about the refugees he says that the people talk of thelr tsturning to
[2399]r Spain when the var is over,
[2401]FRICTICN —  thia point, without being questioned, he says that the Pequetes
[2402]_ and Palangists cannot meet, because when the tw parties were amalgamated the
[2403]" Requetes -were pushed into the background, and that is the reason they prefer the
[2405]monsrchy. i this polot he says that he has heard nothing about the restoration
[2406]nor about the differences betwoen certain leading factions in the arsye
[2408]RESISTANCE, = at firet he said that no one speaks about the war or any other
[2409]problezs because the peonle are afraid, Bu~ afterwards he said that people
[2410]remerber the Republic and h.w well they lived then, Eg does not report any
[2412]exetple of resistance to the war. He says that the Bativnalists have a lot of ine
[2413]fluence, but not so cther parties, among them oura. Prieto has no influence d ther.
[2414]In general it is obvious that he is ignorant of many things or does not dare to

[2491]HUHOSR — He roumily asserts that there is no hunger, only a scarcity of certain
[2492]articles. That withrationing “there is not enough for one mouthful® but that
[2493]he never felt the want of food, That the olive oil raticn 1s 1/8 of a litre

[2499]are double what they are in Gijon. That rationing is different in each provines,

[2505]the workers) who earn 10 or 12 pts. cannot buy anything contraband and live oa
[2506]their rations, which causes then to suffer somewhat from mmger and be wery
[2507]discontented. Ho says that the f= hunger is caused by the war and the blockade,
[2508]because as soon as the Spanish war was over there was abundance of. everything and
[2509]free exchange, end as soon as the Buropean war began there was scarcity and
[2510]rationing. He also says at the same time that theauso of the acarcity ig that

[2576]That the Germans say in their propagenda that they mean to suspend

[2578]Quantity of war material to Turkey, which is a proof thm they have no need of
[2579]it, therefore armaments are not mamfactured in ‘Spain nor exported, But he
[2580]takes the opposite view, that dpain receives material fros Germany; there are
[2582]frequent consignemts, mostly tanks. Uhat Spain does semd, not, "as some exy because
[2584]tho. Germans take it”, but because the Government gives it bery willingly, is
[2585]food. Bvery day many loaded open cars leave Spain and tha people talk of it and
[2586]are dig_contented, but those ere only those who “iiink with their stomachs",
[2588]DESPATCH OF WORKERS, — He cannot be acowrate about the quantity but many thou-
[2589]have gone, 25 volunteers. Hs says it is quite natural for a man with
[2591]no food or job to go there wherethsy cat well and can send money hom and because

[2770]he rust telk to a journalist. He knows very little, since he lived in @ sfall

[2772]that he imows nothing, and can only give informati:n about his village that is
[2774]_— not political. Is a ncderate antieFalangist, and continues todafend Franco, of |
[2775]. whom he has a kigh opinicn, in many instances, The first thing he asserts is that
[2776]in Spain there is not so mich hunger as they say here. There is a scarcity :
[2777]caused by the war tit it la iuet the sane as it is everywhere, those with money 1
[2778]eat and those without go hungry. I$ is not true that they requisition the i
[2779]'. peasants! cro-s, eat least in the part of Spain he knows. He says that
[2780]- everyone aays in Spain that they contr.1 the crops, and even if they force them to
[2782]“sell at the standard rate they leave the peasants enough to eat. It ia obvious
[2784]that’ everyone maxes fun cf tne order and hides the oroduce "but it Ls not that
[2786]they requisition them, but that the Government contrcla produce and they
[2788]have to sell it at fixed rates.” He says that he has a brother in the army andi
[2790]the soldiers are vary wel. fed. The fscd is well prepared but rather scarce.
[2792]In Estrada they get the xxrmst two regulation loaves just as before the war,
[2794]but in Corcena treai is searcer in the barracks, What everybody wants is for

[3162]there is nothing but savagery there". He says that some German propaganda
[3163]postcards show Roosevelt and Churchill dressed as prostitutes, and Stalin
[3164]in the middle embracing tham. The people do nct like thie kind of propaganda.

[3222]they cannot keep them in barracks for want of food.
[3224]THE POOPLE'S RESISTANCE TO THS WAR AND THB REGLME — According to our infore
[3225]mant the atate of mind of the people is one of extreme hostility towards the {
[3226]present state of affairs, although it 18 not obviously shown. Tha Reds
[3227]are in hifing, He says that the only people who are openly fighting against
[3228]the Falange and the Regime in power are the Requetes. That besides ths
[3229]pamphlets we have referred to above, there often appear on the walls, lampoons
[3230]and posters against the Palange. Ho rememcers one which said more or lest =
[3231]"Famine and Theft, that is the Falenge*, ‘There appeared another very like it, but
[3232]he does not know what it aaid because they rubbed it out at once. He says
[3233]the Requetes also accused the Palanghets of being cowardly assassins who are
[3234]‘only userul for doing masse assassinations (®dar Paseos").. ; ; :
[3235]The.people take a sympathetic view of these actions of the Requetes. In :
[3236]the queues people saamaunyx speak against the Government and the Palango. :
[3237]There are nany prisoners, When the "nationalists" first entered Santander thoy
[3238]killed pecple in thousands. The Falangists held many “passos®. They went on
[3239]killing, only less than at first. The prisoners died of their harsh treatmant,
[3240]- many wore tubercular. He doea not incw if they give them organised assistance.
[3241]Probably relaticna and friends.’ He does not «now of any activity of the party,
[3242]or the J.S.U. The Reds are very carefully watched, The only cnes who do_
[3243]anything are the Requetes. In general our informant does net «now any of ow
[3244]organisations because he was very jounc when the war began. The only thing he says ~
[3245]is *the Falangists are like those they used to call the F.a.I. They go toa .
[3246]‘house, steal, take a man, take him and shoot him, and then it is finished®.
[3247]‘We cculd not get my information about the Union Nacional, althoush he gives the
[3248]impression that he does not <now anything about it. : :
[3249]He has no ideas .n the futurg prospects... He thinks that thia depends on
[3250]England; thero is talk that the Requetes wish to set up a King who is not a
[3251]Bourbon. He does not -ncw anythi e restoration of Don Juan. The Falengiets
[3252]are enemies of the Mpnarchy and the people do not worry much about thie
[3253]problem. Referring to the attack on 8, Suner; Espinosa de los Monteros,
[3254]Ambassador in Berlin, had on one of his visits to Madrid, a violent quarrel ,
[3255]with Suner and in consequence resigned. He reports that then he was aprointed

[3289]30.7042,
[3291]A young BasQue 24 or 25 years old. By profesaion a metal-worker. Up to
[3292]the beginning of the war he, was working with an-uncle in Zaragoza. Ee remained
[3293]in the battle sone throughout the wtole war and was mobilised in Prenco te army,
[3294]Is a Basque nationalist, like ‘almost all’ Ms family, Althourh a workman by
[3295]profeseion he always worked with his relati.ng, almost alvays as.fcreman, or
[3296]at least as manager. He has no political point of view nor are his class
[3297]foalings very developed. He has never belonged to any syndicate. after the
[3298]war was over he worked in Bilbm ina wire factory where there were about
[3299]a thousand workmen. Ha final'‘y left work in order to devote himelf to the
[3300]Black Market because, acording: to him, it was impossible to live on what he
[3302]only ones with which he was con ected. For this reason tia report is rather
[3303]incomplete, end in soce cases lacks objectivity. He is rather reserved.
[3305]ATTITUDE OF THE SPANIARDS TOWARDS THE ANTI-SITLER WAR, — In the graphic
[3306]words of the informant, 90% of Spaniards are partigans of England. . The
[3307]workers, peasants, petiteduurgeois, capitalists, and some of the clergy,
[3308](later he told us the majority of the Basque cures) are cn the side< England,
[3309]although in a passive way, and against Germany and the Palange.
[3311]fhe general opinion which ie expressed in ccnvarsations between groups of
[3312]friends, and lately alzo in the street, is that the defeat of Germany is ine
[3313]evitable, due, according to our informant, to the fact that the Allies have
[3314]more economic resources and more primiry materials. It ie thought that the
[3315]United States will be a very important factor in theredisation of victory.
[3316]fieo the defeate euffered by Germany on the Eastern front contribute to
[3317]streacing this opinion.
[3319]In Sain everyone is tired of the war, and no one wishes Spain to take part
[3320]in it. There people are ina real panic on this acore. Our informant thinks
[3321]that if Prance ahould.decide to ficht, in viewd the terrorist nature of the
[3322]Regine, the people would have to obey. Later in another conversation he said that
[3323]there were people who, in that case, would hide in the mountains,
[3325]The defeats suffered by OG grmany on the Rastern front were well krom
[3326]there ant contributed to increase the people's confidence. Hes ays that they
[3327]sad there that, in spite of their resistance, it was obvious that the Russians
[3328]were not sufficiently prepared to face a power like Germany. .
[3330]The entry of the United States into the war was received with ‘oy by the
[3331]pecple who interpreted it ss an event destined to shorten the war, of which they
[3332]are all very tired over there,
[3334]The Ratification of the Anglo-Russian Pact and the American-Russian agreemmt
[3335]is known there, althcugh the range ard content of the pact and the agresmtnt
[3336]were not mown. He says that the Falangist press; only said that these nations
[3337]hed prozised not to make a separate peace.
[3339]He does cot know t.e agreement about the secont frmt, although this ~ :
[3340]subject is very often. spoken of, with the idea that it would be the final blow to
[3341]Germanye Over there they think that the. opening of the Sgcond Front will remit
[3342]in the rising of the French people, perhaps the Spanish people too, With tie idea
[3343]in mind the people often discuss possible landing places. It is thought that
[3344]thds-will-take-place-in-Franeé,-although ome say it ‘might also, happen | in- Spaina -

[3380]others but among their friends they also say that it Was terrible. They went
[3381]into action in fact just before the Russian co-nter-offensive began, and ~~
[3382]received the full crunt. They hed many losses throuch bullets and the cold,

[3386]SUPPORT GLVEN SY THE FRAWG' TST REGTME ID THE PALANGZ TO PITLER. — Our
[3387]informant does nut know in whatquantity thay send reinforcements to the Blue
[3388]Division. He thimke that there is saze exa‘reration on this nvint on the prt .
[3389]of the Falancist Press with tries in this way to encourage enthusiasm avong the
[3390]young men. He knows that the place they report to and tra'h 1s San Sebastian,
[3391]and that from there they leave for thefrent. He thinks that they are still
[3392]spending people, but they are only *reliefs® for those who come h:me. Ha adds
[3393]that those wio yo to the Division asul today,with very few exceptions, do it
[3394]against their will. They get the majcrity of those who go from the barracks.
[3395]He says that wany workzen went to Garmany on account of the lack of food and
[3396]work. He does nst know hom many but he thinks a fair wuantity. He says that the
[3397]people take these things calmly generally, bscause they cannot do anytthz
[3398]against them. He only heard that in Ipum there had be2n some acene with the
[3399]Bive Diviebn or with the workers who were going to (lermany but he zives nos
[3400]actual details, saying that it is dangerous t» try and Imo too much,
[3402]In Spain the Gost fervent supporters of tha Nasis are - Suner, Minos Srande,
[3403]Moscardo and other generals, and especially the "idealist® Falancists, or those
[3404]who cuaultted injustices or profiteered and are afraid of "the tables being
[3405]turned*, . .
[3407]‘Ee says that the Falange is only the shadow of what it was during the
[3408]wer. That at the begin-ing sany people fo.ned it for safety's sake, but now
[3409]it iswdead thing that no one takes any notice of, The same happened with the
[3410]"Flechas", “Frente de la Juventud® ete. The syndicates have many members,
[3411]because membership is obligatory in order to get work. The workers would not
[3412]join them if they could help it. He says that ali the directors are Faland at
[3413]bureaucrats who take a.vantage of their position to steal all they can. He
[3414]cites.a3-anexemple the fact that emloyers are obliged to pay sometzinz as
[3415]a contribution to the subsidy allocated to workesn with large femilies, out he
[3416]says that the Palangista do not pay it to anybody, but spend it themselves.
[3417]For these and other similar reasons there is a lot of discontent among tle
[3418]e@zploysrs, ; :
[3420]Our informant says tmt they aro still sending large quantities of food
[3421]to Germany, also iron and othgr materials. The people know that if there is
[3423]‘famifie in Spain it is becaus@/the Germans and the "Black Marketeers*
[3425]Asked bbout the production of ths metal factories in Bilbao, he says that
[3427]| they are working at presaure, but he does not know if it is war material.
[3429]He knows that pig-iron is being sent to France, he imagines it is intended —
[3431]‘for Germany. Iron ore is also sent to France dy seas
[3433]FRICTION AMONG THE RULING CLASSES, -- He knows that in the aruy there is a-surge
[3434]eoling againat the Falange, but he says that it has‘rc outalde repemmessions,. <
[3436]The-only-incident-Imown there was the case of Yague and Queipo de Llano. In; -

[3483]REGiWG —- The peoole wisn to sse.the situation change as Boon aa peaaible, but
[3484]they believe that the solution must come from outside. According to our infore-
[3485]Rant, there is nc thought of fighting against dba. regine. We ways that the
[3486]workers in the factory in which he worked epoke openiy against the regige but -
[3487]he does not know tha’ there was any activity. (Given the character of the
[3488]infsrmant wo may sup 066 that even if there was he would take pains te imore
[3489]At). From time to time the women rioted in the queues at first they simv
[3491]them up, «ow they say nothing. He asserts that every day the people speak ncre
[3492]openly against the régime. The contribution to SAuxilio Goclal® was obligatory —
[3493]before but row no one pays. When the young ladies of "Auxilio Soclal® beg for

[3498]He says that when Franco was at Bilbao the pegle reaained in their houses

[3500]At the end of Franco's gsaech not a soul applaudel, Then some Falencist
[3501]young ladies said, half in tears, ‘shat wo must do is buy a machine gun and

[3504]Assistance to the prisnersa, according to our informant is given by relations
[3505]and friends. ‘There is no organised assistance, but he proceeds to tell us that
[3506]certainl. thera have been collections sometimes in the factory inf avour of the
[3507]prisoners, but “by groups of friends®, He does not know of the activity of any
[3508]organisation, as such. The nationalists, according to him (he is a nationelist)
[3509]are toe ones wo have some organisation,
[3511]+ | They distributed there a speech made by Aguirre in America. (me of she
[3512]Prioto's was also in circulation, Ke has no news of the other organisations
[3513]although he adaite that if thay have any organization they would not go and
[3514]tell him avout it.
[3516]Rhen he is asked about the activity of the different organi gations of which
[3518]we the Prente Popular is composed, and the attitude of the militant party memers
[3520]: of these orgatisations, he asserta categorically that there tne people are
[3521]completely united, and there is now no talk of socialists, anarchists, coazunists,
[3522]republicans etc. All treat each other as comrades, end help each other as far
[3524]as they can. In Sain, according to our igformant, there are only now enscies
[3525]of Franco and the Palange, tho maintain a strict unityY among themselves; thay
[3526]discuss the progress of the war together,cou:ent on the situation ete. fm says
[3527]that the people wish for unity, resret the dieunion there was before in Spain.
[3528]and the quarrels between different parties and anti-fasciat organisations. ~~

[3531]impressed him very much and he said that 4 in order to do what Lerra had done one
