Josef Adolf URBAN and Til BANYAS

Roesselsprung MAV40,

1. Forwarded herewith is CIC Report S-11495. which recordsresults of a rather superficial investigation or Tilda BANYAS, one-time mistressof Josef Adolf URBAN and alleged agent of the AVO.

2. The Iris SOHEIDLER nee JOKL divorced PRAXMARER is Ion inpolice and CIC'circles in Salzburg as bein7 active in a vague sort of way in thecircle frequented by Richard KAUDER/KLATTi Willi HOETTL and several communistpolicemen. She is also well known as the part-time mistress, formerly if notcurrently, of a number of CID agents.

3. Possibly this report has some bearing on URBAN's garbageoperation. We recommend incorporation in the file of the Roesselsprung investi-gation being conducted at Headquarters and suggest that Headquarters registry-beexamined for traces of personalities mentioned here.

by an Austrian Court to serve two years in prison forblaokmarket aotivities and forgery. After his release(date unknown), Informant learned during a casual con-versation with Iris that "Heinz" GRIMMS was employed byIRO, Salzburg and that he is again involved in sometype of illegal activities. Informant does not believethat Iris is in open relations with "Heinz" GRIMMS, be-cause of the fear that her husband might become aware ofher activities while he was a War Crimes prisoner.Whenever the aubjeot of the CRUMB brothere comes up,Iris is usually more than anxious to change the con-versation. Another personality with whom the SCHEMERSare in close contact is "Herbert"'(LNU) and hie wife;"Hilda°. fl ibrbert w ie a former SS member, who was asubordinate of CCHEIDLER during World War II. He is an /I!Austrian citizen and about 38 years old. Hilda, about35 years old, worked with Iris at the OH Hotel and laterworked for Irie when she opened the "Wiener Modelle"on Pranz'Josefekai during 1950. 'Herbert" and "Hilda"are not currently residing in Salzburg. He is employedas a aaleaman for a tool and motor parts firm (name andlocatfton unknown). Another personality with wham theSCHEMERS were acquainted is Wilhelm "Willie^-HOETTL,a resident of Land Upper Austria who has been involvedin intelligence aotivities for the Americans. Until1949 or perhaps 1950 the HOETTLS and the SCHEIDLERSwere clese friends but acoording to Irit SCHEIDLER,the two families have been on the "outs" for about twoyears.

Also an attempt to definitely locateIetvan SERENYI and establish the extent of his activitiesfor future questioning is in . 1•Ogreee. It has not asyet been fully established whether or not Istvan SERENYT,mentioned above, ia identical with (fnu) SERENYI referredto in reference bisposition Form. The investigation ofthe activities alleged in referenoe report is continuing,and it is hoped all persons can be identified withoutdirectly questioning anyone concerned until the propertime:

It would appear from the report attached to referenceDisposition Form and from investigation so far concluded,that the Source of the information was not too well in-formed or he could have better identified "Mrs. Iris",the wife of "Karl SEIFERT or SCHIFFER". Also, the abovereport is dated April 1951 and it is possible that theSource may have developed or learned further information,therefore, it in recommended that either the Source berec rmtaotedtofurnieh more informstion or that he be madeavailable to the Agent charged with conducting the in-veetigation.
