Dear Sir: -
Reference is aade to the 1 Age t-n--_, ated Jay 13, 1%}, st Ins .-.:-.5 ore sntitl antter,
Ihich set out a lead to present the I case to the United
States lttorney at Ins Angelou Iith a vise toward obtaining subject's
internment as a dangerous alien enemy. The above report, as Iell as
prior investigation, also suggests the possibility that the subject
any have lett himself open to prosecution by tailing to register as
an alien ensuly.' '
Infcrnation set out in the several reports in this case has
been for the nost part restricted to that which night he presented to
an alien enm hearing board without danger of disclosing that an in-
vestigation is being conducted by this office into the subject's poss-
ible Cuaintern connecticns, his connections aith the Free Geraany love-nent, and his connections Iith known Ocemsunists in this area. Interna-tion regarding the latter is reported in the case entitled 'O ,
Ias, SECURITY HATER - B", since subject's activities interlock _
those or the persons under investigation in that ease.
c The information -presently available against the subject in in-
itant latter, although undoubtedly indicative of revolutionary tenden-

the EECHT case was presented to the United States Attorney in Ios Ange-

reason for referring a similar set of Iacts pertaining to IISLER to the V

Investigation conducted to determine whether the subject should
have registered es en elien enemy has tailed to disclose e violation of
this nature. L-rciiration %o1-{ts aha that tk subject tnrsled on in
Austrian passport prior to the date of its expiration, st which time he
obtained e stateless Czechoslonkinn peseport rether Una one issued by
German authorities. As In Austrian, EISLER Ins not subject to registra-
tion es In alien enennr.
A review of the file in this case discloses that ell leads set
out for other field divisions have been covered. Outstanding lee-ds for
the Les Angsles Field Division will be covered and reported in connection
with the OTTO K112 investigation, of which Les Angeles is the Office of
Origin. Since subject EISLEL?.'e activities ere inextricable from matters
reported in the latter case, simplicity and economy of ettort will be
served by continuing to report information regarding him in that tile-
ihis Iillnot mean s. lessening investigative effort applied to_EISI.EB.,
but will avoid repetition in report writing. This case is therefore be-
ing closed herewith.

oi the international workers solidarity was the musical festival in Rcichenburg, -
Czechoslovakia in which ho took an active port. This festival furthered the
work of uniting Czcchoslrtskien labor and Gcrtun labor in Czechoslovakia withthe Czech progressive crezrcivc intolligontsia.Xu_
EISLI3 then relates the deplorable condition of music in fascist
Germany and concludes by stczing that it is conforting that in other important
nations of Europa, as toll as in gnorics, the progressive musicians are syncs
thetiq to Soviet ideas. Ec says this is exemplified by the themes and styles
of their creations. He also claims that the youn;cr.generstion more and more
reslisos that questions of musical teehnic cannot be answered without includinga political basis. tin _ '
KJLThe article is concluded as follows'..
"In closing, HANS BISLER spoke of tho old composer, sR§0l5¥¬¬ROEXBERG,
an honest, reactionary-thinking master, who has now rather naively admitted
Communism as u method must be tried. The capitalistic idea has produced too
many unbearable hardships. For SCEOLFBERG this is quite on important od-
mission. Ho; incidentally, intends to visit the Soviet Union;
"HAHS EISLER will stay in the US"? for a short time. Ha intends to ro- 92_ l
turn soon to the U.S.A. via Denmark, whore ho will teach. The composer has
idocs for a large symphonic production for orchestra and choir, which come to
him through political prisoners of-Fascist Germany. The first part of tho
symphony will be in the form of s death march; the second, as a'song composedby those behind Fascist bsrs." aQ4~ ' '

The scrap book also contained a news clipping indicated to have
appeared in the Rochester, Nev York "Post Express dated October 23, 1955-
This article is entitled Singer Faces Deportation as Red". It states that
cha:-ges,that H;-.IIS EISLER had come to this country to spread ccrmmistic
propaganda through revolutionary songs, were under investigation by Federal
Immigration Com.-.issioner I3acCOR1;Q.C1i. The complaint was filed against EISLER
by J. 3. ..'I1_KII~3, Secretary of the £"92RIZOIléi P303 C-FFICEEZS ASSOCZATIOZE, whodemanded that EISL-:3 be deported. Pub ' '_-a-
' The article stated that EISLEIK arrived in lfew York on October 4th,
under a visitor's visa, and that his arrival was hailed by the "Daily forker"
which stated that "inculcation of rs.dic.al songs was an important method of
advancing the cause of Co1r.munis:r.." The charge r::s.de by 'aT[LZ{IE was in the form
of a. letter to Secretary of L11-.:or FRJJTCIS PEIIIITS. In this letter, JILL-'.IE '
charged that EISLl?.'s visits to the United States were under Coxznnunist auspiceand that the songs were of e. revolutionary character. pd
On the same page of the scrap book, there appeared an article
entitled, The New Ijusic League", by "I-3." It is believed that the e.u";hor
of this article is B51138 EISLER. The article, which is undated, reads asfollows :p u -
"First steps toward developing a broad federation of music societies
and organizations were taken at the last general meeting of the .for1:crs' _
Husic League. The delegates of the organisations affiliated in the League

Neither of these papers was dated. The paper entitled, "Proposals for anAustrian-Hungarian freedom Committee" reads in part as follows: 9{q¢,
"The decisions of the Iosccw Conference show that the allies attach a
great significance to the Austrian Q sstien.... On account of all those reasons

to grow from passive resistance beyond sabotage to open insurrection, has to
become an official aim of American foreign policy and American strategy. This
fact opens the occasion for Americans of Austrian descent, and refugees from
Austria, to make e special effort to assist the strategy of war against EITLER..
An AustrianAmcricen Committee consisting of well known pcrsonalities.... inart, in sciences, .... in politics, could have the following important task:i!6L
"1! Broadcasting propaganda to Austria. The committee could put at p
the disposal of the 031 and BBC material for radio propaganda to be beamed to
