It However, let me begin by telling you what's onorget. First of all. In the Ministry of
Defense there are twenty-eight thousandti general "they are distributed as follows: Tbe General Staff on the Arbat, the three buildings on the Frunrenskaya-Naboreshnaya, the second house on Ped Square, and the Air ipr.ee Headquarters cn the Holshaya Plrogovskaya. This complex has twenty-eight thousand persons, including officers and civilians (VOLNC-TIAYF.MNYKH). Of the latter', by ny estimate, there would be twoalf to three thousand. This would Include cleaning and household personnel, as well as stenographers andl1lanlzed off leers.

their exact title Is sectors. That is what they are called.
There Is one for agriculture, electric power, and there is even

(S: The first page of this formeclarationhisX-Vlgn. It reads something likeSubject's truebout to go abroad, premise t" maintain the dignity of the Soviet Union as'the representative thereof, promise not to enter into any contacts or discussions which ere not authorized, and lo maintain state secrecy." On the opposite page are all vital statistics on the Individual. This includes his Party record. The whole document Is Top secret. The reason Is that according to our advertised democratic principles, this type of treatment would be Improper, ao they make It Top Secret. The pretense Ispecific ministry simply sends someone and the Central Committee has nothing tc do with It. But this Is absurd. Ofinistry mayerson to go abroad, but then everything Is checked minutely by the KGB. When their acqulercence Is obtained, the Central Committee commission takes this Top Secret obligation from the individual and then permission Is given for the Issuanceiplomatic jassport by the Ministry cf Foreign Affairs.

These__noztles must_feed. In.such an exact way that no overheating occurs which could cause_premature_Iflnltlon prior to getting the precise feed Into the combustion chamber, that Is, to permit the exact per second quantum of fuel to enter the crmbustlon chamber.

It was when VARENTSOV was recuperating and KONEV was demanding his earliest return to the Front, the First Ukrainian Front, as chief of artillery, that Nina's husband wasogether with two others Who were 'n black marketing In Lvov. It was proven that VARENTSOV had no personal Interest in the black market deal whatsoever, but he was accused of political shortsightedness 'n allowing this t" go on under his nose. He was called before the Minister of Defense who reprimanded him. However, the Minister said, "Let u* forget thla whole matter; gn back te the front." Three months later VABENT'OV received the Merc of the Soviet Union.

Si When he was going to the front hyccom-1m, and It wasold him about the unfortunate .filiation with his daughter. He was emotionally upset. Vhen we arrived in Kiev we learned that CrER rTfAKHOVSKIY had been killed at the front. He waa one of the army commanders of the First Ukrainian Front. Heery close friend of VARENTSOV's. This was In Marchli. When we arrived In Lvov he visited the cemetery once and never returned.

(il) St On the 5th of0 GeneralNotet DepuVy^Xhlef of GRU Personnel) called for me. He said, "Hera Is the Information submitted to us by the KGB an your father". By theould appreciate It If you would check to see If my father is still alive, since he disappearedrace. We know that there was an encirclement at Rostov but It would not be difficult tc have escaped from there to Taganrog. Gi We willheck. St Secondly, possibly through yourchannels yru may find out If anybody had reported on me about my father. Thirdly,mayhat there were aome records In the German archives which fell into the hands of the TOR and which they have been analyzing for years. Our people don't know what to do with me about this natter. They can openly discuss me without arresting me but If they d'd not giveassport to come hereould haveun for It somewhere, possibly toEmbassy. Gt If your father is alive and la either In the US or In England, this can be quickly checked. St on't believe that he Is alive but please check anyway and also let me know If yea find out who Could have reported on me.
no) Anyway SHUMSKIY called me and said, "Your fatherhrrn Army officer endigher education and your* grandfatherudge In Stavropol." My uncle, once removed, was also mentioned. He wasommanderVO regiment In the Far East, and at one time he was also In prison because of his background. His name Is Valentin
Arttonovlch (last name same as Subject's). After he was released from prison he was then the Chief of Staff ort Armyng the war. Then he was the rommander foffrjh Guards Army, no Then at the end of the war he was sent to the Far.East end he participated In the campaign against the Japanese Kwantung army. He remained there after that and became the Chltf of Stafr under MAL1NOVSK1Y. When MALINOVSKIY finally was brought tn to replace ZHUKOV as the Minister of Defense he left my uncle out In the Far East since he knew the area well. He avoids contacting meo the same since we do not wish to contaminate each other with cur backgrounds.

So he got an interpreter and picked POWERS up. But military people knocked POWERS down end POWERS wasiconsIdered toilitary man. Therefore, he should have been turned over to us, the General Staff. But the' KG3 seized him, took him to Dzerzhlnskly Square, and made their own report. He was being treated medically since he was still In shock. You could have traded POWERS for this MELIKH whom yeu were Inurry to release.

Gt Do you need the money right now, or do youomorrow, or do you want to wait until &ou return to London? St lt can waitet te London. ave already notedew Items there that my wife asked me to get. ant you to realize that all of theselan to purchase are perfectly logical for me to have. In fact, they can be obtained through cur commission stores In Moscow, butery high price. In my status it la entirely proper and normal for me to have certain things, ln fact,epresentational basis Itandatory. Even when I returned fromarge suitcase full of thing*. Nothing was said all, and there waa no customs check. m returning officially with the Committee and there will he no trouble at all. (Note:

Inequest that my wife and mother be approached, but In only one way since they have no Inkling ofm doing norstablished any plans through any border for their defection. Simply sayave withheld one fact from them. Say thai prior to the death of my father, he had set uprust fund or left valuablesoreign bank andm no longer among the living this sum of money Is available for my wife. At least this way my daughter ray have some subsidy until she Is grown up. Ht We will do this. Si My wife is totally unwitting ofm doing and she has been brought up under comfortable circunstances as the daughtereneral. However, she knows what deceit and lies exist In our way of life, end she was very much impressed by Western life when she was In Turkey. She filled out this whole notebook with purchase requests.
S: By the way, please prepare everything asm to leave on the second of May. ave not yet received the authorisation for extending our trip so we must play safe. ill know the answer as soon as we return to London. lnoxant you to plan on possible radio contact.

We must work out plans on how to maintaincase WYNNE does notisa to go to Moscow. mayossibilityay be dismissed from This Is not likely, but It must be considered as Then, what do we have? We have thiswith the children walking through the park. We alreadyon the use of the telephone. Gi All this will beand worked cut with you In London. We will not waitlast day, either. Si ope so much that they extenduntil the Sixth, since It Is an advantage to stay longer
In London and have more meetings together to work things out. In the meanwhile when WYNNE arrives you can either send anything with him or not, as you see fit1essage.
ave already prepared material at home tohim which includes the details of the whole agent net which
1 once ran. sk you please not to take action against them because lt will reflect against me at once, particularly this corporal In Ceylon. Oi To hell with hlml Don't you realize that we would not risk your security for something that Is relatively worthless like that? We will tcuch no one. St However, he should be made Ineffective. Maybe you could have him transferred to some other place under some legendary pretext, possibly as If therehreat to hla wife or children. G: We are not going to foci with this and Invite any risk to you. St Of course If he falls to appearcheduled meeting with our case officers, they may- think that something Is wrong.
"Write this down, Colonel GRECHKO, with coverengineer. Is the REZIDEKT In Ceylon. He was formerly InPersonnel Directorate and somehow he wormed his way Into Heomplete fool. He does not know English. Ithe name of the second case officer who Is there now, but
he Is the one who replaced ALEKSANDROV, the former case officer. He had been the Second Secretory In Ceylon, but now he Is working In the Fourth Directorate In the Direction of Ceylon working group for officers where he is an ordinary officer. If this corporal did not show up as scheduled,hreat to him wero detected, SEROV would demand thet the agent's personal file be examined. My name would ahow up at once as havingormer directing case officer at headquarters. Gt Stop worrying. We are not going to get you Into trouble. S: Youant to help you, and at the samem afraid of this. For example. If the whole agent net in India were surfaced. It would alienate our government's relations with NEHRU. But givehance to get out of the country before this is donehow you how tn do It. Ot After you areecure position abroad, then we may consider doing something and we will do this with your advice.
S: ivereat deal about our Illegal REZ1DENTURA which Is located In New York. In myelieve this BEZIDENTURA Is composed of our GRU Illegals. They were brought In thereTAZHIROVKAhird country. Judge for yourself and seem not right. For example, why do you think SUDIN Is now being sent to Turkeyounsellor? He is being prepared to go now. We have not yet cracked the Turkish nut. Our agent operations there were not effective. He, specifically. Is being sent there since he had always worked on Illegals operations. (Note: In fact heAPRAVLENIYE chief In the Illegals Directorate.) He Is toEZ1DENTURA there composed of Illegals from third countries. m positive of this. now that those case officers who followed me to Turkey were not able to accomplish anything.
0: How many Illegal PEZIDENTURAs did you aay there were in New York? Si aid only that there was one in New York, that is, an Illegal PEZIDENTURA, and there Is an additional RE7IDENTURA which is legal since the case officers therein use the UN positions for cover. G: Do you know the GRU people who are in the UN? S: an find this out very eaally,on't know offhand.
(fly G: Do youYAK0V7 S: No,ncwS-Denis PCLYAKOV. He was in the USA twice and he has taken ever delegations. Justm do'ng now, for the GNTK. He was also the Interpreter, but In myas afraid that they (the British) might not giveisa. H: If we hadn't known who he was, he might not haveisa, St ealise that you-probably had something to do with this since ycu wanted me to come. Our people at GRU were pleased because they assumed that you did notas an intelligence officer.* Why did you giveisa when you know he Is an Intelligence officer? H: That ig question. St nderstand, it Is none of my business to know. on't even want to know. My people ot GRU thought that if SHAPOVALOV got throughisa,ould also.
(j) St ould fulfill GRU missions while heading this Tre-fegation. equest you do all you can to help me fulfill the missionsxplained to you. ill-write up an effective report. eed from you Is help In Introducing an English acquaintance to the local case officer here in London. All that has to be done Is to maintain someand possibly your man would pass some sort of material oncehile. The material can be worthless, and It would be good If your man would accept money encehile. There Is no need for the man to accept recruitment. All he has to do Is to string the case officer along until such timeefect. This
Isisualize it. If necessary the man could be recruited, but he has to work properly. Otherwise Jt would be traced back to me as my man, and If they smelled provocation, they would put me away so you would never see me again.
Gt Now, all of the problems you have raised In all operational plans are now being worked on and as soon as we return to London, we will accomplish everything. S: 1this perfectly. ealize that you have more experience and scientific approaches and better headsave, evenave been Jn Intelligence3 excepthort Interlude thanks to being contaminated by RUBENKO. (Getting up to leave) lt would be well If you could get WYNNE In contact with meouple of months. He doesn't need to be trained or told anything. He can be unwitting, but of course he knows who you are andm In contact with you. H: We will take care of all that. S: WYNNE may not be the sharpest man or the wealthiest, but he treats me very well and with respectould say that heood patriot and an honest man. G: Take your key. Si ould have all of you In Moscowonth. 0: ill take you down out of the hotel and walk you to the corner. (Subject left0 hours onpril)
