State Dept. to Probe Link Between U.S. and Klaus Barbie
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Justice Department,
reversing an earlier posi-
tion, announced that it will
conduct "a comprehensive
investigation" into allega-
tions that Nazi war crimi-
nal Klaus Barbie, now in
custody in France, was em-
ployed by U.S. government
agencies after World War
II and helped by them to es-
cape from Europe.

Under Supervision of
The Council of Orthodox Rabbis
gress and the White House,
came just one month after
the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency published the first
of an exclusive three-part
series of articles by Charles
Allen, Jr., an internation-
ally prominent authority on
surviving Nazi war crimi-
nals, exposing the clandes-
tine U.S. involvement with
Barbie.
Allen wrote that Barbie
"was aided in his escape
from Europe in late 1949
and early 1950 by the Vati-
can, the U.S. Army's
Counter Intelligence Corps
(CIC) and the International
Red Cross."
He said he obtained his
information "from var-
ious documents, includ-
ing the State Depart-
ment's" which detailed
"Barbie's movements
since his first utilization
by the CIC in 1947 until
his expulsion from
Bolivia 36 years later."
Allen said his findings
were corroborated by Dr.
Erhard Dabringhaus, a fa-
culty, member at Wayne
State University in Detroit,
who told NBC-TV News and
the Detroit Free Press only
a week earlier that Barbie
had been secretly employed
as an informer by the CIC in
1948 and was paid the then
substantial sum of $1,700 a
month.
Dabringhaus, now 65,
served as Barbie's "case
officer" with the CIC in
1948.

Allen also wrote that
"During the same period he
(Barbie) contracted work
with the CIA" and acted "at
the strategic • direction of a
post-World War II SS un-
derground, Die Spinne (The
Spider)" as a "consultant" to
right-wing Latin American
military dictatorships sup-
ported by the U.S.
Barbie's involvement
with the CIA was con-
firmed by Nazi-hunter
Serge Klarsfeld who
charged, in an article in
the Paris daily Le Monde,
that the CIA not only em-
ployed Barbie as a spe-
cial agent but enabled
him to flee to Latin
America by granting him
a "temporary travel
document" registered
under the name of Klaus
Altmann, the name under
which he illegally ob-
tained Bolivian citizen-
ship in 1952.
According to Klarsfeld,
the CIA document enabled
:Barbie to obtain an Interna-
tional Red Cross pass in
Geneva.
Although twice sentenced
to death in absentia by
French courts for the depor-
tation of French Jews and
the- murder of French resis-
tance leader Jean Moulin,
Barbie apparently visited
the United States on more
than one occasion after his
escape from Europe without
interference from U.S.
authorities.
Reports that he visited
New Orleans and Miami
under the alias Klaus
Altmann was said to be
supported by U.S. Immigra-
tion Service documents.
Last Nov. 11, Robert
Wilson, a self-admitted
international jewel thief
told ABC-TV News that
he knew Barbie in Bolivia
and that the Nazi "freely
confessed" his war
crimes and his involve-
ment with the CIA.
According to Wilson,
Barbie claimed he visited
New Orleans and San Fran-
cisco in the course of his
work for the CIA, travelling
on a Bolivian diplomatic
passport. The CIA refused
to comment at the time.
Nine Congressmen wrote
to President Reagan urging
him to initiate a special in-
vestigation of charges that
the U.S. government pro-
tected Nazi war criminals
after World War II, Barbie
in particular.
The letter was drafted by
Rep. William Lehman (D-
Fla.) and signed by seven
Democrats and two Repub-
lican Congressmen.

tion will be conducted by
Allan Ryan Jr., head of the

the initiation of deportation

NEW YORK — Rep.
James Scheuer (D-N.Y.)
hosted an informal meeting
last week of 25 of the 39
Jewish members of the
House of Representatives
and Secretary of State
George Shultz and other
State Department officials.
The' Congressmen asked
why Israel had better rela-
tions with the Italian and
French peacekeeping forces
in Beirut than it did with
the U.S. Marines. One Con-
gressman said the group
made it clear that the Re-
agan Administration's
Mideast policy was not ac-

Official Denies
Linking Jordan
Arms to Peace
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger denied that the
U.S. has "informally" prom-
ised King Hussein of Jordan
sophisticated weapons if he
joins the Middle East peace
process as outlined in
President Reagan's Sept. 1
peace initiative.
"There is no way that
anybody can formally prom-
ise anything that requires
the approval of Congress,"
Weinberger said on the
CBS-TV "Face the Nation"
program. But he said the
U.S. has told Jordan "we
agree basically with the
idea that they do need more
modern weapons, they need
air defense weapons."
Secretary of State George
Shultz, in an interview with
The Washington Post pub-
lished said it was time for
Jordan to decide whether to
join the talks or not.
