HSE Bad any Reg Cb RE to information re~tved, these noninetions were advanced by one of the : Cominstienta officizls for persenal reasons and Lt appears, therefore, that the Commission is bein+ used for such purposes by some of its officials rather than to restrict its consultants to individuals of recognized standing in the lay enforessent profession. Ott 2lso appears that tho Comissic. is placing itself in such a sosition that it can be utilized by member countries for political purposes. ' At the 1916 Assechiy of the Comsission, the stututes wore amended to specif- = | deelly exclude matters of a political, religious or racial nature. In spite of this fact, hovever, Last month the Cenmission issued ten circular wanted notices ab the request of Ceecheslovakian police relative to individuals ine volved in the March 2h, 1950, escape from Grechoslovakia aboard on aircraft of tie Czechoslovaltian Air Lines. ‘Those wanted notices pertained to Oldrich Dolozal, Rorivoj Said, Stanislav Sacha, Jan Kralovensiy, fva Vyslouzilova, vit Angettery Namil iras, Vladimir Svetlik, Ludulla Skorpikeva, and Viktor Pooelkae As you are caare, considerable publicity was given to the flicht of these individuals after their arrival in allied cecupled Germany. In spite of tha fact that the charges against tiecse persons mide by the Coechoslovalcian Government were coviously political in nature, the International Criminal Police Cowsission issued wanted notlees indicating that the persons involved were wanted for "having acted or not having actcd in perticularly dangerous circunstances and for having adducted persons and Iinpejed the liberty of individuals." I frankly belleve that this is an obvious abuse of tho International Crininal Police Comsission and that by issuing the circulars the Commission has opened itself to subsequent utilization by Russian Satellite meubers for political purposes. i In view of the above circunstancos, it is not felt that menborship in this organization is of any particular advantage to the United States and the Federal Bureau of Investipzation is therefore terminating its member= ship effective December 31, 1950, the expiration date of the present paid-up year. I have advised ir. Fe. Te Louwaze, President of the Commission, of the fact that this Sureau is terminating its menvership and I have also suomitted my resignation as Vice President of the Comaiscion and as a menber of the 7citins Comiittes of the "international Crimincl Tolice Review", the periodical published by the Comission. I have likewise notificd tr. Louwase of the fact I am resiening my post as Liaison between the International Crininal Police Consissicn and the United Nations in New York where the Commission holds the status of « "“cencultative orncnization".
