tell him that you wanted to know what it was? Why didn't you tell him that?

A. My report to Pohl consisted of four or five points. I do not remember the details of the report, whether a statement on my part was made in that report. I am no longer sure about that. I did not have an oral conversation with Pohl about this. I was not called to see Pohl.

Q. Why didn't you report to Pohl that your immediate superior Frank had sent you over to Lublin on a mission that you considered illegal and that it was covered up by a fictitious name "Action R"? Why didn't you ask him about it?

A. I reported that as far as the department was concerned there were confiscated goods, and books kept about it under : the name, "Account R."

Q. That's all you did about it?

A. Yes.
