-2- suicide was undoubtedly involved, and that for obvious political reasons, the Banderites didn't want this fact to become known. Further, the German Police have facts -which indicate that the Banderites forbade certain individuals to reveal, any facts of S. BANDEBA's case. The police questioned this, and they came to the conclusion that statements made by these people tended to bring to light the facts in this case. These indiVidUals are Dmytro MYSHKIV, Sephan LENKAVSKY, and Vasil NINOVS'KY. Besides this, BANDERA's wife was very talkative at first and revealed certain teats (as for instance, the fact that BANDERA always carried cyanide an his person). She later stated that she could not verify this fact. It was evident that the Zch/OUN had forbidden her to talk. FUCHS was so impressed with our three-hour Conversation that he told me. this talk gave him more satisfaction and More facts than the one hundred conversations he held with other individuals and that it convinced him his 'analysis to date was correct. He told me that I could easily replace armember of the commission engaged in the!investi- gation of_BANBERA's death. FUCHS met with me . again on 17 December 1959, at which time he was more reserved. At first, I didn't know the reason, but Later KASHUBA explained.

KORZaAN of Paris was head of the commission investigating the circumstances of BANDERA's death. It also listed Volodymyr DEYCHAKIVSKIY of Canada and KASHUBA of Munich as members.
