The Minister in Denmark (Atherton) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:39 p.m.]
132. Department’s 63, April 19, 7 p.m. has very much clarified our situation and we estimate now 13 bona fide American citizens completely lacking funds and 7 lacking half necessary funds requiring total $5000.
Department’s instructions, however, do not cover cases of American children of alien or unrebutted parents of whom to date there are 9 not included in the above estimate.
May passports be issued under rule (g) to persons resting under unrebutted presumption.
Frontiers remain closed for passage to Germany without permission German military authorities; however, some Swedes have been permitted to return home.
I am hoping by the end of this week the German transit visa situation may be much clearer.
