Dressed in Western clothes, with his reddish beard shaved off, and equipped with a false passport, the Mufti apparently left France last fortnight on a T.W.A. plane for Egypt. In Cairo he disappeared. Next day a U.P. dispatch from Damascus said that the Mufti was in Syria, at a meeting of the Arab League called to resist the Anglo-U.S. plan for transferring 100,000 European Jews to Palestine. But the U.P. later admitted that the Mufti's whereabouts were uncertain, and the Syrian Government denied that he had entered by air or through any frontier post...
Ruhe alone had six agents abroad (he had 20 before the war). They were looking for anything they could get at a reasonable price.

When Herbert Lehman made him senior deputy director of UNRRA, Jackson was given a job bigger but not much different from the one at Malta...
...whose name had become a word for venal treachery faced nine judges (five of them laymen) in an old Oslo lodge hall. There was no shred of dignity in his defense, only a trace of defiance in his demeanor. He sat lumpily in the prisoner's box, his reddish, thinning hair unkempt, his neck shrunken in an oversize collar, his blue eyes beady in a suet face...
