WEisler finished his education
brilliantly. Everything pushed the composer
towards an easy road of life. But he did not
take it. Too disgusting to him was the
bourgeois concert-hall where, in a musical
narcosis, the gourmands wade their discoveries

- "In 192? Eisler wholeheartedly -
entered the proletariat 'agitpropgroup'

"'Song of the lner,' 'Inualid's
March, Song of So1idaritU:' '° 'D¬f¢"°,

this is only a small part of the-great list
of Eis1er's political songs. Unfortunately
only a few of them are published by us.

temperament, Eieler tore into the refornistic
song group, forming a cowmunistic wing. The
battle was successful. It drew the attention
of the entire musical world, gathered
travelers, and cultivated such revolutionary
nusiciene as Ranhel, Fcgle and yclpe.
Wet the same tine, a strong tie£5! was jbrmed between Eisler and dramaturgist
Bert Brecht. Together they worked out the
theory of the pedagogic theater, wishing
to wake it_eepecially active in the were oplitical agitation and propaganda. £' {

2. As of October 9, 1947, e copy of e report cm one
_ by RICHARD H. FRENCH, Special Agent, GIG, First Arnnr, wasw this report, the G--2 files, First Arrow, Governors Island, contained information onb the New School For Social Research. Included therein was information to the effect,
"Some of the prominent professor: who are members of st fronts or
Conmmiet dominated organisations are E=.".1J~l PISCATOR, IOOOI"
3. The Bureau by New York letter of October 22, 1940, entitled?
ET AI. IHHICIRATION MATTE?" j - _ - . , was provided with certain reports "oi!-Confide iel In ormant These dealt with the arrival in the United States of inc-?ivid.1e1s
Letter/'1Jirectcr, '>I
NY 100-26648 November 21, 1947
who, according to the Informant were alle ed " rman or Austrian Communists. Included_____ in the list of arrivals IE!¬ a!1d mm PISCATOR".
r 4. IRWIN PISCATOE was shown as a cnsor of the New Writing Foundation,%;¬ East 61st Street, New York City, as 'Ier: HO1'.'ARB""RA_ST, TI-_i01¢J.SN, IDUIS15!¢3PJ£EYFJR and others. Little bac groun s available in the her York
. files concerning this organizaticn. However, according to some throw-awrays received,
the organisation solicited funds to send delegates to the World Youth Festival at
Prague, and also sponsored what they termed the "Stephen Vincent Benet and Theodore
H-eiser Memorial Awards For Young American Writers . Further, the "Daily F-crker"
of July ll, 1947, in cementing on the departure oi two Hund:'ed American youths
for the World Youth Festival, advised that amcng the groups represented in the
contingent was the "New Writing Foundaticn......"
A pretext phme call to the 1}-amatic Workshop cn November 19, 191,7, re-
vealed that PISCATO}; is still director oi this branch of the New School For Social
Research. Further, he still resides at 17 Last 76th Street, New York City, v.'hich
residence he purchased in 1945.
§92
i
It is to be noted that the referenced Bureau letter of November 10 194'?misquotes the information taken from page 12 of the report of SA
dated October 16, 1946 at Los lngeles, in that the word "generally" is use or
Wainly". Inasmuch as this substituticn changes the meaning of the sentence, it isbeing brought to the Bureau's atteniom
Considering all of the available information on EHTCIN PISCATJR, it is not
believed that he could be discreetly contacted regarding H.t~ES EISIER, and consequently
no steps are being taken in this direction unless the Bureau definitely advises to
the contrary.

Under date of October-Q6, 1947 the following cablegram was forwarded to the
above named subject here from Paris, France:
"IMPORTANT YOU ARRIVE PARIS IMMEDIATELY TD UOHPLETE SUORIHG. H _
WIRE esnxvm. mars. - ' - '" - 1e . signed! Pauosmmn ron museum PRODUCTIONS"
! .
One of the attor ye of record in this case,'5qpk5srgolis, informed ax
an officer of §' Service on Kovember 20, 1947 that his client, . _
Hans Eisler, ht an offer to do the musical scoring on s lotion picture
production in]! is, France of Alice in Wonderland" and that he had been
offered a $l0,t contract for this corks Also, that if the deportationproceedings in {he case of his client were concluded and he were deported -
on or about the first of the year he had another offer for his services in
connection with the production of the play "Galileo". Further, that his
play was going to be produced in Itily, Switzerland, and France. It is
understood that the production of this play or its adsptatio for Communistpropaganda purposes has been under the direction of Bertholgrecht hogan5_e_1;1:,olt_ §;_-_iea1-ggwsregnt, e-7624461., Reentry Permit No. 143, 1, issued
larch 11, 1917 ena c'e11vered to Brecht Iarch 31, 191.7!. Brecht has been
a long and close associate of Hans Eisler and has written many of the re-
volutionary lyrics for Eisler's musical compositions. "The'locEl FBI hast
a lengthy record covering the activities of Brecht. There seems little
doubt that Brecht is an'adtive and important leader in the Communist nove-
ment at the present tine. a - -
On October 31, 1947 Hans Eisler addressed a telegram to Berthold Brecht
at 124 East 57th Street, New York City, inquiring of the starting date
of rehearsals on the play "Galileo", and stated that he would come to
Haw York immediately if his round trip expenses were paid; further
stating, in effect, that his presence was necessary to reshape music for
New York, "especially ballad and ballet". Local information was to the
effect that the play "Galileo" was to have been produced in New Iork. This
plan, it is understood, has been abandoned. It is also reported Brecht is
now in Paris, France. - _ -
The local TWA officials advise that Hans Eisler has a reservation on
Flight Ho. l2, leaving from the Iunicipal Airport, Los Angeles, at
5:55 P.m. today November 26, 1947!, for himself only. We uderstand
free the local FBI that he has iade a fies-day hotel reservation it
the Algonquin Hotel in New York City, beginning November 27, 1947.

The subject's attorneys, Carrollefhg and Ben Hargoiis, have both made
inquiries about securing permission for the voluntary ueperture of the
subject. Carroll King was advised by the Central Office that in view
of the charges in the warrant for the subject's arrest he could not be
granted voluntary departure. Margolis made further inquiry about the
same matter here on November 20, 19¢?-
The Czechoslovakian Consul at San Francisco advised that his friend
Hans Eisler had made inquiry about getting Czech passports for himself
and wife. The Czech consular representative informed an officer of
this Service at San Francisco that he was aware of the fact that the
Eislers had previously had passports issued by his government and that
he believed he could obtain authority for the issuance of passports to
them again, but he assured our officer since deportation proceedings
had been instituted against the Eislers he would not issue any such
passport until the request came from this Service. Hail coverages show
communication between Hans sisler and the local Soviet Consulate. It
is not KHOWH whether he may have applied to such consulate for a pass-
oort however.
In view of the foregoing information it may be that Hans Eisler is
qoing to New York with the purpose in mind of effecting his surrep-
titious deoarture from the United States. The present bond in his
case is $1,000. No bond provision is contained in the warrant of
arrest. It is suggested that discreet inouiry be made in New York
city in an attempt to ascertain his possible plans and, unless there
is indication that he has some business purpose in New York City,_
that you comunicate with the Central Office as to whether or not it
is desired that the subject be taaen into custody and his bond
increased.
A copy of this letter is being furnished the Central Office, Air Mail,
today. _ ta 1 - -.
he are informed that wrs2<sisier_1s still at the residence of the
Eislers near Los Angeles, at Malibu, California. They have a checking
account with a local bank with a balance of $750, $250 having been
withdrawn on November 17, 1947. The exact amount of their commercial
account in this bank is not known. he have arranged to be notified by
the bank of any large withdrawals.

Bureau, having been rr ived from the New York and Los Angeles offices.-- "*"It was furnished to f Department by memorandum also dated December 2, 1947..
Er. Peter Bin of the criminal Division of the Department was in com-
munication by telepi ne with mr. coyne on December 5, last, at which time he
stated that the Bur u's information was accurate. It had been brought to hisattention that caroixing, attorney for the Eisler's had made overtures to theDepartment in an endeavor to "swing_a deal" whereby the Immigration Service would I_ permit Eisler and his wife to leave the country in order to take a job elsewhere L!with the understanding that no prosecution would ensue. ltr. Brown advised that!
the Criminal Division would have no part in such a "deal" and that instructions -~
to that efiect were being issued to the Immigration Service He c* . xurtner em-mented that it would be unnecessary for the Bureau to expend any investigativeeff t 'or s in looking for Eisler since the criminal Division was issuing definite
instructions to the effect that Eialer should not be permitted to depart fromthis country. u c '

"Dear Kr. Eisler:
"Thank you for your letter of November 8. I knew
very-well that the situation concerning Hrs. Eisler and yourself
was becoming critical; but as it is today, and as l told Ears. Eisler
yesterday by telephone, your problem from the point of 92:°|.eY; of ob-
taining a passport seems to be settled. hhat I need from you and
1-ire. Bisler is the old Czechoslovak document with which you came to
the United States, and then there is the formaltlty of filling out I
applications, the details of which you will find in the enclosed
forms. Fill out everything you can and return then to my office
as soon as possible. Unfortunately, each form needs to be filled
out and signed four times by you and four times by Hrs. Eisler.
We will also need four passport photographs of you and Llrs. Eisler
and these photographs should be signed on the front side.
"Unfortunately, to be completely correct from the
official standpoint, I will have to ask you to pay all the expenses i
Ihicntotal $6.00 as follows:

-advised that he ma not heard my oi. the above-mentioned men
make any direct anti-American remarks but gathered the impression from their
actions that they were in sympathy with Communist: because at the time theHollywood writers were indicted, the above-mentioned individualreed a
teen:-.g or sympathy for the iedieted writers and several tie-lee, couldnot recall definitely, either ZOLLBR, VIETEL, or LOSE! made cm
remarks about the ability of these ten indicted Iritere.
Pexpressed the opinion that, in the event he Iere to determine that
the a ove-mentioned men Iere Commmiete or considered subversive in any ray,
he would immediately make it extremely uncomfortable tor them and cause them
to have the hotel. He was referring epecifically to JACK ZOLLER, PETERVIERTEL and Iife, mg 'PAU'II'jSTEWART and Iif. The latter has already made a
reservation at _-i when they rt-u_rn iron thing trip to Ga1;__i'orn.ia, uuch
will be eometine at the end of January.
It i noted that the synopsis of the reference report contains a mentionof HANS EISLER operating out of the home of_12o_E1:-or and m..mm ,
although no supporting information to this eff ct appears in the details. Thi
was the result of inadvertence, inasmuch as the detailed information regarding
EIS1ER'S contact Iith the LDLERS was set out in a separate letter bearing the
same date as the report.

that VICTORIA STONE ever operated a dress shop or that either she or
HEIEAN were what could be classified as high functionaries of the

HEIMAN is located in Yonkers, HY, indicates the extent somewhat of the
