SPECIFIC- Request For Authorization of Funds to Pay Salaryof Maid in KIBITZ Safe. House at Ludwigsburg

REF: MGFA-6544

1. Above referenced memorandum, a copy of which is attached,was approved by C.: ..-=/ on 11 June 1952 with copy of approvalin Finance Division files.

2. The KIBITZ PrOgram employed Frau Elsa Rehm as cook-housekeeperin the safe house at Ulm. In the above-mentioned reference our requestfor authorization of 200 DM salary payment to Frau Rehm was approved.However, Frau Rehm is still on the Ulm Sub-Post payroll and from all in-formation that C :7 can obtain she will continue to be so. .We therefore do not have to pay her salary, and everyone is happy.

3. Since the approval of MGFA- 6544 the KIBITZ Program has secured• a new safe house at Ludwigsburg. Because of operational necessity--havingto put an agent in the house for training on very short notice, we wereobliged to hire a cook-housekeeper on 1 August 1952. We have arrangedwith her to work for a . salary of 150 DM per month.

4. PersonAl data on the Ludwigsburg cook-housekeeper are:

Name: Frau Frances SchroederAge: 37 years oldFavorably agreed upon salary: 150 DMDuties: Cook-Housekeeper for 6 room house.in which

agents will live. Frau Schroeder does notlive on premises.

6. It. is • requested that the authorization to pay Frau Schroeder150 DM per month salary be given the KIBITZ Program expecially consider-ing the fact that Frau Rehm is still paid by the Army as outlined inPara. 2 above.

7. Justification for hiring a fulltime maid for the Ludwigsburgsafe house is similar to that given in reference for the Ulm andUnterschondorf KIBITZ safe houses. A copy of reference is attached.

.Request for Authorization of Funds to Pay Salary ofMaids in KIBITZ Safe-Houses -- Ulm and Unterschoendorf

1. On 30 June 1952, the Army will no longer furnish maids tooccupants of requisitioned property°

2. The KIBITZ Program has, and will continue to require, maidsin each of two safe houses. Personal details about these two maidsand their duties are given below:

a ° Ulm Safe House: Maid, Frau Elsa Rehm; age 50 years;salary received from the Army -- DM 200.

Duties: Cook-Housekeeper for maintenance of sevenrooms. She has beenemployed in her present position since April 1951.Frau Rehm does not live on premises.

b. Unterschoendorf Safe House: Maid, Fraulein Maria Destig;age 60 years; salary received from the Army -7- DM 150.

Duties: Same as (a).

Dastig has • been employed by KIBITZ, in her present position, sinceNovember 1951.

• NOTE: The difference in salaries is due to the factsthat UntegMendorf is a rural area and thus at the bottom of the wagescale and also because Frau Rehm is considered an experienced or semi-professional domestic servant, while Fraulein Dastig is not.

• 3. Both employees listed, are performing their duties efficientlyand have been security checked. The KIBITZ Program is now at the heigh#of its training season and continuance of these employees in theirpresent duties is considered essential.

4. The falowing additional points are deemed justification forthe employment of a fulltime maid for both the Ulm and UnterschoendorfKIBITZ safe houses:
