Dear Yr. PIVEC,
I have received your letter of 1-12, on 1-19. Many thanks
for your efforts. With joy I have taken cognizance of the fact that
you have already contacted American authorities concerning my invention.
However, I have no great hopes, because I know that with the U. s.
everything is defective, exactly as with the English. - Example:
Already a long time ago I wrote 2 or 3 letters to the U.S. authorities
at Salzburg and I was in Salzburg myself during the past year, but
everything was in vain. - At the most, in r esponse to my letters, some
Russian agent comes; that is all. When I wrote in Switzerland at
first to President TRUMAN and then to President EISENHOWER through an
official bureau, also everything was of no avail. In the end, always
Russian agents come. In May 1953, a big dirty pig arrived who wanted to
make me believe that he would take me in an automobile to the emigration ·
office for Austrians in SWitzerland. He enraged me to such an extent that
I hit him in the face with my fist. But he had also helpers and I am
not sure how it ended. I awok~,lying on the ground, and all had disappeared.
Several days ago a man approached me at my working place who only pointed
a finger upon me, saying: "Youl II When I looked at him; he quickly ran
away. I could not recognize him, but seemingly he knew me. - But
the English are even more stupid. I wrote to the local city commandant I s
office about my invention (just like to you) but no reply came. When
at one time I accidentally listened to "Radio Canada, 11 I learned about
my statements. Those people said that one had finally succeeded (possibly
Scotland Yard) to obtain exact data on the German flying saucers and
that one would, therefore, establish a research station in Canada with
English experts, etc. I wondered whether the entire world had gone crazy.
I of fer my invention for sale, and those people make such a noise about it1
They will never perfect the machine without my data.. Well, I let you
know that I am somewhat in the bad books here; strictly speaking since 1937,
because of our eagle, also called misfortune. Our coat of arms, the bird
