Mrs. Paine. She is not someone I know. That is spelled K-L-O-E-P-F-E-R, and I asked her if she knew any Russians in New Orleans. She did not. I then wrote to Mrs. Paul Blanchard.
Mr. Jenner. Excuse me, when you use the pronoun "she" there you asked Marina?
Mrs. Paine. I asked Mrs. Kloepfer if she knew any Russian-speaking people and described why I was interested in knowing. I must have given her the address of Marina, probably asked that she go and see her. In any case, I have a letter which followed that telephone call, which I wrote to Mrs. Paul Blanchard.
Mr. McCloy. Pardon me, did you say you telephoned to Mrs. Blanchard or you wrote to Mrs. Blanchard?
Mrs. Paine. I wrote to Mrs. Blanchard, I had originally telephoned to Mrs. Kloepfer.
Mr. Jenner. Did you make the telephone call when you were in New Orleans?
Mrs. Paine. No; this was when I was concerned. I had not heard from Marina for a month. I did not know whether she was in good health or had gone back to the Soviet Union.
Mr. Jenner. So you called Mrs. Kloepfer in New Orleans?
Mrs. Paine. That is correct. After having tried to call the Murrets. I had not had their name accurately.
Representative Boggs. How did you happen to write to Mrs. Blanchard?
