Former master spy Leopold Trepper is expected to leave for Israel on April 2 for a month-long visit, sources here indicated. The trip is in preparation for his final emigration to the country which he hopes will be this year. Trepper recently returned to Denmark after a trip to London where he underwent medical treatment for a leg ailment. He reports his condition is improved, but must return for further treatment following his trip to Israel. Trepper. 70, will also return to collect more material, mainly in France and Belgium, for his book on the “Red Orchestra,” the Soviet spy network he headed in World War II.
