I have received the following request from Rick Kuhn concerning Jean van Heijenoort, since I am unable to answer his question, I suggested to him that I should forward his request to discussion lists where there may be people who can. With his permission, this is what I am doing. Please note that Rick Kuhn's contact information is down at the bottom of this post.

Dear Jim Farmelant
I have seen that you have an interest in Jean van Heijenoort and hoped that you might be able and willing to help me. My particular interest is in connections between van Heijenoort, Bernice Shoul and Henryk Grossman. Shoul was an economist and a friend of van Heijenoort starting in the 1940s. She drew on the work of Henryk Grossman in several of her publications, as did van Heijenoort in 'La dialectique du capital' Revue internationale 2 (8) September 1946 pp. 124-136. He wrote this under the pseudonym Alex Barbon. Grossman, whose on the theory of economic crisis was very controversial, lived in New York from 1938 until 1948.
This research is part of a project that resulted in my Henryk Grossman and the recovery of Marxism University of Illinois Press, Chicago 2007.
Any information or leads you could provide would be very much appreciated.
Best regards
Rick Kuhn
