SUBJECT ': SKOB t s Disappearande.,

SOURCE: AECAPELIN from Ivan KASHUBA,

REPORT DATE: 25 January 1956

1. In previous reports, I related three SB versions concerning SKOBtsdisappearance from Munich. I also commented on the possibility that SKOBwent to the side of the pro-BANDERA ZCh/OUN and discussed various methods ofconfirming my suspicions. Points which were not clarified were (a) ereKASHUBA ce brated the Christmas holiday, and (b) location of Ste B DERAand Ste..4 ai AVSKYY.

ave learn- •

e who depar • ri-3--Jah ry 1956, He showed me his passport wh chcarries a German border stamp. In addition, he had to fill out a controlcard at the border which is necessary for all foreigners who cross the Austrian-German border. (The date of his crossing can be checked via the control cardswhich are kept on file at the German border point.) /j,ilLt..A,kp

Dc-Lo 3. The only point which remains unclear is his ebtivities until 12 January

1956, i.e., whether he remained in Innsbruck during this period or whether healso traveled to Salzburg. He was not in Vienna, according to him. KASHUBAwants to go to Vienna during the early half of February 1956. He learned fromTYUSHKA that 3,000 Ukrainians, rather Austrians of Ukrainian ancestry, live inVienna.)

4. Concerning BANDERA's location, all that I could learn is that he wasin Munich uring the fit day o the Christmas holiday. According to Yuriy

,610211,9KYY and Myrosla TTRANKA LENKAVSKYY has intestinal trouble and re-

\ mained in unich.

5. If the above information is correct, then only KASHUBA, STETSKO andTYUSHKA were with SKOB in Austria (if SKOB was taken to Austria).

I know that( STETSKO remained in Innsbruck for three days, duringwhi me he not ty stayed at TYU dence but also visited Ing._Serge agaZiasKI, nd met with Prof. , DURWSKI the Slovak). Onewonde s if STETSKO'had time to be with SOL

7. During my conversations with KASHUBA on 23 January 1956, I learnedthat he was in Munich during 13-15 January 1956. He stated that he telephonedme prior to 1700 hours on 13 January but I was not in. Others saw KASHUBA inMunich on 14 January and he stated that on this day he telephoned me shortlyafter dinner but did not find me in. This indicates that he did not leaveMunich during this time.

8. KASHUBA stated that 10 members of the "Brotherhood of former upik

Fighters" were interviewed by the German criminal police concerning SKOB./ KASHUBA once more attempted to assure me that the pro-BANDERA ZCh/OUN hadYLU MPLOlittle interest in kidnapping SKOB, that, in f c he:was sorry but convinced

that SKOB went to the East Zone of Germany.7,7,-1()) 71/- Removed from ProjeotG2 ,,c? 3 ;7 ...:7 CS Classification! ?_./ ,:-,2 z,2 5T/3 --_,-)-q-- ) 5,- c-7'(-)JOB # 6 - erc2,s7/Y-3Logged wN,

9. SKOB I s disappearance forces KASHUBA to go to Vienna sometime duringthe first half of February 1956 in order to investigate the "KAREN" affairand other problems which are related to the "KARMEN" letters. As I had reportedearlier, based on KASHUBA I s statement, the first "KARMEN" letter to ZCh/OUNallegedly indicated that SKOB is a "Soviet provocateur" concerning whom it isnecessary to be careful. MOD's flight confirms, to a degree, "KARMENIs"warning. Aside from this, "KARMEN" commented on a group of other affairswhich are absolutely accurate. For this reason, KASHUBA has hopes of findingtraces of "KARMEN" in Vienna and is making studious preparations for thistrip.

10. KASHUBA has proposed, and\IHe continues to delay the trip becalAexpenses. I told KASHUBA that I hadVienna, for instance, locatingZarshyn (for which brewery I was repone of the Abwehr collaborators in Krand his family, etc. Therefore, I wasexpenses.
