It was furnished to ’ # Department by memorandum also dated December 2, 1947. 3 Lt I Mr. Peter B of the Criminal Division of the Department was in com- 4 munication by teler #ne with Mr. Coyne on December 5, last, at which time he ( stated that the Bureau's information was accurate. Jt had been brought to his attention that Carod{King, attorney for the Fisler's had made overtures to the Department in an endéavor to "swing a deal" whereby the Immigration Service would \ pernit Eisler and his wife to leave the country in order to take a job elsewhere vl with the understanding that no prosecution would ensue. Mr. Brown advised that ,” the Criminal Division would have no part in such a "deal" and that instructions -—~ to that effect were being issued to the Immigration Service. He further eomn~ mented that it would be unnecessary for the Bureau to expend any investigative efforts in looking for Fisler since the Criminal Division was issuing definite instructions to the effect that Eisler should not be permitted to depart from this country. Ul A The Los Angeles and New York Offices are conducting no active investigation \ but are only covering the subject's movements through established sources.
