ANTI-COMMUNIST LEGION
aka
INTERNATIONAL BUREAU
of ANTI-COMMUNIST LEGION

[Reference: OCB, Dade County, Florida file number 255-D]

[NOTE:  All members receive a Secret Agent Card ]

May 11, 1961

Lieutenant Frank Kappel
Criminal Intelligence
Public Safety Department
1320 N. W. 14th Street
Miami 35, Florida

Dear Sir:

reference is made to your letter of May 3, 1961, requesting information on the "INTERNATIONAL BUREAU OF ANTI-COMMUNIST LEGION," 746 S. Normandie Avenue, Los Angeles.

The local address of this organization is now 126 S. Vendome Avenue, Los Angeles.

From 1958 until just recently, the "I.B.A.C.L." has been rather inactive in this area, however, they are presently selling $1.00 to $5.00 "bond" donations, proceeds of which are to be used to support a program of fighting Communism.

A recent interview of ORFELIA (MRS. JULIO) CHIROLDE, formerly ORFELIA WOJTASCHEK, by a confidential source, indicates that they are now active in giving lectures before Spanish speaking groups, explaining the evils of Communism.  It is indicated that the purpose of the Legion is practically the same as that given in the 1955 report on that group, a copy of which is enclosed.

During 1955, ALFREDO and ORFELIA WOJTASCHEK and JULIO CHIROLDE, were operating the "ANTI-COMMUNIST LEGION" aka "INTERNATIONAL BUREAU ANTI-COMMUNIST LEGION," in Havana, Cuba.

We are enclosing a copy of the type of identification cards used by the members of the "I.B.A.C.L." which appears to be the same as identified in your letter, as well as information concerning the New York operation and the 1955 rundown on the organization.

Very truly yours,

M. B. PHILLIPS, LIEUTENANT
WATCH COMMANDER
INTELLIGENCE DIVISION
