No. 443.—Seizure of Morphine at Hamburg : Del Gracio Case. O .C ./A .R . The Central Narcotics intelligence Bureau, Cairo, reports (April 1933) i9p n r 994 /t. ) nncp 19 ^ a t, according to a statement made by Elie Eliopoulos in August 1931, be ' ’ “ the consignment of morphine was ordered by Del Gracio in 1930 from 1083/1072. the Kuskundjuk Factory run by Mechelaere at Istanbul, to be specially packed in cases of machine parts. Mechelaere promised to despatch the morphine through Hamburg, but he intended to extract the morphine from the cases and send only the machine parts to America. He made arrangements with Roman Zahar, a commission agent of Istanbul and with Ekrem Bey, manager of the “ Compagnie Interconti­ nentale 1,1 of Prague, with branches at Hamburg and Istanbul, to despatch the cases to Karl Frank at Hamburg, instructing him to find a purchaser for the drugs and to forward the machine parts to America. Frank got into touch with Gourievides, who approached Del Gracio as a possible buyer. Del Gracio was therefore being asked to buy his own consignment He at once went to Istanbul to see Mechelaere, who declared that it was not Del Gracio’s consignment at Hamburg, but Del Gracio was suspicious and, through Constantin Belokas, got an introduc­ tion to Seya Moses in Berlin. He left for Berlin accompanied by Elie Abouissac and it was on his arrival there that he was arrested by the German authorities. No. 541.—Illicit Traffic in Drugs at Opava, Czechoslovakia, July and August 1931. See O.C.294 page 12. The Government of Czechoslovak ia reports (December 21st, 1932) •28965/157 that no drugs were seized in connection with this case and that the enquiries undertaken by the Czech authorities for the purpose of ascertaining the origin of the drugs concerned led to no result. In addition to fines for infraction against the law concerning excise duties inflicted on a number of persons involved in this case, the following individuals were fined for infraction of the narcotic drugs laws : Charles Hônig, a fine of 5,000 kr., or twenty-five days’ imprisonment ; Leopold Schrotter, a fine of 1.500 kr., or seven days’ imprisonment ; Bruno Liebreich, a fine of 200 kr., or twenty-four hours’ imprisonment. No. 552.—Illicit Traffic by Mechel Halpern, Baruch Kleiner and Nussenbaum, February and March 1932. See O.C.29i(l), page 16, The Austrian representative on the Advisory Committee reports pa»^,^ (May 8th, 1933) that the Istanbul police have communicated to the Austrian police the following information concerning this affair : The 35696/ 157. investigations undertaken by the Istanbul police have revealed that no publishing firm of the name of Walter exists at Jüksekkaldirim No. 522, Istanbul. Formerly an Austrian named Fritz Plaschki occupied this shop and the son of Mechel Halpern, Abraham David (Polish), worked with him. The Roumanian, Walter Dezeder, lived atPera, a quarter of Istanbul, but he left on June 21st, 1932, by train for Bulgaria. A search was made at the premises occupied by David and Plaschki (rue Aynalicesme, No. 27) and 11 kg. of a white powder and scales were seized. An analysis of the powder proved that it was not a narcotic poison. Abraham David left Istanbul on February 10th, 1932, for Germany. No. 558.—Seizure at New York, ex the " Ile-de-France ”, April 1932 : Joseph Frankel Case. 0.C.S.116. A/. Mondanel, Divisional Commissioner of the French Sûreté Générale. paces'i'"'94 '!{’% Paris, informed the Advisory Committee, during its session in May 1933, O.C.294fn)1,1 pa<r’e 5, that this consignment of toys had been shipped in five cases by the firm andÔ.C.294(ojîpage 7.of Bernard, of Paris, at the request of a certain Charles Condyser, 33, See also O.C.S.tiO. rue Montholon, Paris, who is, however, unknown at this address. The 1383/.-7,f i r m of Bernard stated that this individual had declared that he was going to Cherbourg to embark on the Olympic. Some days after the seizure in New York, the American authorities sent the French police photographs of a bill and letter discovered in the residence of Frankel. The bill was for the purchase of a hundred dozen toy lanterns with the heading Condyser, 33, rue Montholon, , ‘ For the list ol previous references to the persons mentioned above, see Case No. 901, of this document. Previous reference to thf •• Intercontinentale " forwarding agency will also be found in document O.C/294(7A page 87, and No. 867, of this document, “'addition to the branches of this firm at the places mentioned above, there are also branches at Trieste, Budapest and Burgas, Bulgaria. o70 (F.) 545 {A.) 10/33.— lm p. Réunies, S. A-, Chambéry. — 4 — and the letter contained the address of a toyshop establishment in Paris. At this establishment it was learnt that a man called Wolf, 30, rue de la Bienfaisance, Paris, had ordered certain toys, bringing cases for packing the goods and taking them away in taxis. At No. 30, rue de la Bienfaisance no one of the name of Wolf is known. But from information received it appeared that the description of Wolf corresponded with that of Condyser. Interrogation of the taxi- drivers concerned revealed the identity of the packer who made the cases and the garage where they were provisionally stored before shipment. The packer stated that a client named Liezel, Hôtel Moderne, Paris, had placed several orders for cases with him, but Liezel was unknown at the Hotel Moderne. In a number of photographs shown to him, however, the packer recognised one, a photo of Polakiewitz, as being that of his client, who had taken in turn the names of Condyser, Wolf and Liezel. The manager of the garage said that he had let the garage for three months to a certain Adolphe Caro, who is none other than Polakiewitz. On June 18th, 1932, Polakiewitz was surprised and arrested in Paris, together with Herzberg, his principal accomplice, in the act of packing morphine in a cardboard box. They had also on the premises 1 kg. of morphine paste contained in a basin. Polakiewitz admitted that two parcels of slippers, discovered during the search at the garage, represented the remains of a consignment of four cases of slippers, in which he had placed some 15 kg. of morphine, shipped at Havre on the s.s. Vincent on the same day as his arrest. The American authorities, who were at once informed by the French Sûreté Générale of the facts, seized the four cases and found in one of them 15 kg. 851 grs. of morphine. 1 Polakiewitz added that he had made the two shipments on the Ile-de-France and on the Vincent for the account of Adelman, alias Edelman Fish, alias I. Givot, to whom he wrote at the Hotel Roosevelt at New York.

The ship was remarkable in that it was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship. It was constructed with funding from United States government agencies with the mission to prove that the US was committed to the proposition of using atomic power for peace and part of President Eisenhower's larger "Atoms for Peace" project. The sleek and modern design of the ship led to some maritime historians believing it was the prettiest merchant ship ever built. This china embodies both the mission of using nuclear power for peace while incorporating the design inclinations of the ship.

(Valarie D’Elia) Valarie D’Elia was born into a family travel business dating back to 1902, when her great-grandfather booked his friends and relatives from Italy to Ellis Island in steerage class on transatlantic ocean liners as part of the immigration wave. Four generations later, Val took her first cruise on Holland America’s 1938-built Nieuw Amsterdam when she could barely see over the banisters of the gangplank and sailed on the original Queen Mary to Nassau with her travel agency parents. To date, she has taken at least a hundred cruises and is the caretaker of a treasure trove of steamship memorabilia and other souvenirs relating to her family’s travel business. Val has parlayed her family background into a career as a travel journalist, with a century’s worth of perspective. She began her broadcast career as a radio news anchor in Miami while a junior at the University of Miami, then went on to anchor and report for several radio stations in the New York metropolitan area before earning her master's degree from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. For nine years from January 1997, she was the talk show host of The Travel Show on WOR Radio, providing travel expertise on a nationally syndicated show airing in 100 markets.

  • FRANCE/NORWAY: a Book Talk by John Maxtone-Graham
    DECEMBER, 2010 VOLUME XXVIII, # 11 Wednesday December 15, 2010 at 6:00 PM - Seaport Museum New York, 12 Fulton Street, NYC FRANCE/NORWAY: A Book Talk by John Maxtone-Graham at the Seaport Museum New York John Maxtone-Graham, author of numerous well-researched books on ocean liners, will give a talk on his latest work, FRANCE/NORWAY, published this month by W.W. Norton & Company, New York and London. She debuted here in New York in February 1962 as the S.S. FRANCE, the French Line’s final passenger liner, replacing the retired S.S. LIBERTE and S.S. FLANDRE in transatlantic service. While a stunning-looking liner on the outside, her metallic interiors disappointed many ship aficionados. For those who sailed in her, however, she maintained the unmistakable French Line atmosphere, superb food and polished French service. By the early 1970s, she was losing money. The French Line withdrew her in September 1974 and laid her up at Le Havre. In 1979, Knut Kloster, owner of Norwegian Cruise Line, bought the liner and turned her into the S.S. NORWAY, returning her to service as a cruise ship in May 1980 sailing mostly out of Miami. She operated until a May 25, 2003 boiler explosion killed eight crew members and injured 17. She was sold for scrapping in India in 2006 and was fully dismantled two years later. Following the talk, John Maxtone-Graham’s book will be available for sale. A reception will follow. Please note that this program is sold out. s.s.

  • THE PANAMA CANAL REVIEW November 5, 1954
    Gifi ofthe Panama Canal Museum m^ Vol. 5, No. 4 BALBOA HEIGHTS, CANAL ZONE NOVEMBER 5, 1954 5 cents Thanksgiving, Canal Zone Style CANAL ZONE CENSUS TO BE TAKEN SOON BY QUESTIONNAIRES A census of all residents of the Canal Zone, similar to but more inclusive than the annual census of the Canal Zone which has been taken since early con- struction days, will get under- way next week. The census is expected to cover 75,000 to 100,000 persons. The census is designed not only to count the population of the Canal Zone but also to provide data, for staffing ant^ budget purposes, to indicate the load which such Canal Zone facilities as hos- pitals and schools will be called on to carry. Although Canal Zone residents and employees will be asked, through ques- tionnaires, to provide more answers than- the annual police census has called for, all of the questions will be of an imper- sonal nature, rather than the somewhat THANKSGIVING'S Thanksgivina, even if the Pilgrims are wearing Guatemalan shirts and saddle oxfords. And Indians can be just as fierce in khaki pants as they can in buckskins. If the background personal nature of the questions asked in looks suspiciously like the Balboa elementary school, that's because it is. the Federal census taken each 10 years^ Wide Distribution The questionnaires, printed in different Answers Now Available To Some Of Queries colored inks for different categories and for easier sorting, will be distributed to every employee of the United States Asked By Employees About Vacation Travel Government in the Canal Zone; to every employee of the United States Govern- Answers on the vacation transportation by topics and put into question-and- ment in Panama—Embassy employees, questionnaires distributed throughout the answer form.
