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.

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.

Justice Department sources said the investiga- tion will be conducted by Allan Ryan Jr., head of the Department's Office of Spe- cial Investigations (OSI). Ryan has been responsi- ble for the • successful pros- ecution of Nazi 'war crimi- nals living in the U.S. re- sulting, several cases, of re- vocation of citizenship and the initiation of deportation proceedings. Barbie, who was turned over to French authorities last month after his expul- sion from Bolivia, is await- ing trial in Lyon on charges of "crimes against human- ity." Jewish Reps Lash Shultz 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- ceptable to the group. A Boston man is the east wind made flesh. 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.
