Dear Mr. I.emtugov1
This will acknowledge }'our letter of i&ay 24, 19451 concerning tho difficulties being encountered in connection
with the transmission of communiba tiona to and from your sister organization in Stockholm.
It is regretted that the Board is not in a position to ba of assistance to.you with this problem because of the limited typos of communica tiona wh:l.ch it may facilitate for private groupe. It is my understanding that arrangements for the use of pouch IIVlil facill ties must be lll'l.de wl th the Department or State, and I suggest that you take the question up with that department.
Very truly yours,
Florence Hodel Acting Executive Director

Dear :.rr. Voris:
I have your letter of December 7, 1944, requesting that
you be permitted to liSe the facilities of the War Refugee Board to
colliiiiUilioate dth affiliates of your orenn,zation in Sweden nnd
Switzerlnnd.
In oroer that the Board Is facilities may be available
for the transmission of mate1·ial which concerns the rescue and
relief of' persons in enemy territory, we hnve found it necessary to
ask private organizations to cooperate by using regular communica
tion channels 'llherevsr possible. Aeoordingly • and inasmuch as there
are now improved w~il services to and from Sweden and Switzerland,
I suggest that your communications be sent through regular channels
unless they relate to rescue and relief operations in enemy-controlled areas.
1lr, John R. Voris, President, Save the Children Federation, One Madison Avanue, New York 10, New York.
