Cover Letter to the Scott Report
From the US Army File on Ante Pavelic: Cover letter sent with the Marion Scott Report, casting doubt on the usefulness of his main informant, a civilian named Heda Stern. All of this was taking place in the north of Italy, far removed from Pavelic's location in Rome.

SUBJECT: Investigation Re: Whereabouts of Ante PAVELIC

TO: Chief, CIC, [illegible], MTOUSA, APO 512, U.S. ARMY

  1. Forwarded herewith report concerning Subject prepared by Captain Marion H. SCOTT and Mrs. Heda STERN.

  2. Your attention is invited to paragraph [illegible - 10?] which indicates that all leads in this area known to Mrs. STERN at this time have sailed for South America.

  3. Although Mrs. STERN appears to have excellent contacts who could possibly lead her to the whereabouts of PAVELIC, it must be recognized that she has lived in Jugoslavia for a long period of time and her many close friends who know PAVELIC and from whom she could obtain valuable information. However, it would be extremely difficult for this office to attempt to obtain information from the same sources until such a time as Mrs. STERN can uncover something definite concerning the whereabouts of PAVELIC.

  4. Mrs. STERN departed the 18th April for London, England, where she will make preparations for her voyage to America. Prior to her departure, Mrs. STERN stated that she would return to Italy in the event that her sailing is delayed in England.
