800.00B Rubens, Adolph A./51: Telegram
The Chargé in the Soviet Union (Grummon) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 14—9:05 a.m.]
311. Following the interview with Rosh reported in my 308 June 12, 2 p.m.,33 inquiry was made again yesterday of Mikhailov, Chief of the Consular Section and of Sobelev, Referent of the Third Western Division of the Commissariat for Foreign Affairs regarding Mrs. Rubens’ whereabouts. Mikhailov stated that he was not occupying himself with the matter. Sobelev stated that the normal procedure would be to take up such matters with Mikhailov and denied that Rosh had referred the matter to him for his attention. In view of the apparent intentional evasiveness of the Commissariat for Foreign Affairs in regard to Mrs. Rubens’ whereabouts and the probability that further informal inquiries will continue to be unavailing I should appreciate an indication as to the Department’s wishes regarding future representations on this matter.
