Information concerning the above firms and regarding Richard & WilliamNolan CriliLD and Mortimer Claggett Clai, Jr. will be furnishedseparately.5. The activities and contacts of George PERISTERUPCULis   aka PERIS in Japan and Kures are currently being investigated by this   Agency.6. George S. PERISTEROPOULOS aka PEALS, Identified above,   and known to William H. MARTIN as "George PARIS, is identical   with the individual whom Volestia HAHN eka Valentia Vasiliyevich   KHAN aka Wanita HAN, admitted former (1947) Soviet agent, identi-   fled as "George PARIS, a Greek bastnessman in Ichyo", and as one of   HAWN'a close contacts and friends in Japan. Y ben interviewed by   representatives of this Agency ta 1958, Valentine HAILS advised that   the above "George PARIS was the person who introduced HANN to a   Tokyo nightclub, located off the Ginza, the name of which HAHN gave   only as "Tac Tomorrow is Too Late Club". HAHN claimed that thie   was an exact and direct transistion into English of the actual Japanese   nama, which, however, he never mentioned during the interview.   Date of HAhn's visit to this "clab" in company of George PERIS aka   PARIS, Is astimated to have been somewhere between 1954 and 1957.   HAWN stated that by the Torrow ! حج؟ Late Club he was intro-   deced to a Japanese hostess by the name of Noriko SATSUZAKATA   alias Noriko AWAJL with whom HAHN sabsequently enjoyed dates.   It is believed that Noriko MATSUZAKAYA AWAJI became the mistress   of Valentine Hain for an undetermined period of time following bis   original introduction to her at the above "Club" while in the coтраву   of George PERSTEALPCULAS aka PERIS aka PARIS. HAHN also   advised, that following his original introduction to this establishment   by PERIS, HAHN had taken a number of cocamed married American   nationals, who were stationed in Tokyo, to the same club, where sach   persons had also been introduced to and had enjoyed dates with the   bostesses. At this time, there is no information to indicate that   either Filliam Hamilton -ARTIN or Berasa Ferguson AITCHELL   were among the United States cationals HAMN referred to as having   been taken to the aforementioned club by HAHN. Neither is there any   information currently availedis to reflect that William Hamilton   MARTIN was known to Valestine HARN through their mutual acquaint-   aneeship with George PARETEROPOULLS.7.

SECRETorganized biographical outline of all information on GeorgePLEINTEROPUUMO aka PLRIS, developed to date. Attachment tothis communication indicates that I has been or may still be acontact of manuel Abraham USTROVSKY, suspect Soviet Agent, whois the Tokyo Branch manager of the firm of SUNDUVICH BROTHERSINCORPORATED, which firm has long been suspected of being a frontor cover organization for Soviet intelligence operations. Attention isinvited specifically to the fact that Attachment reflects that the 1954Japan Directory of Foreign Firms lists .. UTAOVO&Y as Tokyorepresentative of this firm, which has offices at 81 - Tamura-cho,4-chome, Shiba, Minato-ku, Tokyo, and telephone lines: 43-1809,43-4369, 43-4237, whereas in 1958 subject is officially listed asGeorge PARIS, of PARIS ASSOCIATED ENTERPRISES, located at14-3 Chome, Tamura-cho, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Telephones: 43-1809and 43-4287, reflecting that he shared telephone numbers withSUNDOVICH BROTHERS, and presumably with Manuel A. OSTROVSKY.It is suggested that the Department of the Army,Chief of Staff, G-2, intelligence, and the Federal Bureau of Investigationmay have additional information on George ParlsTIALPCCULAS akaPARIS and associates.8. No additional information, to supplement that which is   reported in paragraph 6 above, identifiable with Noriko MATSUZAKAYA   & AAVL would be located in the indices of this Agency.9. With reference to the 'Tomorrow is Too Late Club', men-   tioned in paragraph 5 above, to which Valentine HAHll claims to have   been taken by George PARIS, an exact and direct re-translation of the   club name into Japanese from the English as given by HAHIN, would   read "Asu de wa ososugiru". It is noted that the Tokyo Telephone   Directory for 1957 contains a listing for an establishment of this   name, as follows: ASU DE WA LoosugiraU, located at Chuo-ku,   Ginsa, 8-Chome, 3 Banchi, Tokyo-to, Telephone No.: 57-0945,   57-6363, 57-6928. A reliable source, who is familiar with the city of   Tokyo, advised in October 1960, that as of 1959 this establishment   was still operating at the listed location, and that it is a coffee-house   rather than a nightclub in the western sense, although alcoholic   beverages are available for consumption on the premises by the   patrons. The same source also advised that the above coffee-house   employs Japanese hostesses", as is customary in such establishments   in Japan, and that such females might be dated under the circum-   stances indicated by Valentine HAHM. However, it should be notedSECRET
[104-10176-10015.pdf — page 6]
SECRETthat the same source also indicated that the coffee-house known as ASU DE WA COLOUGIRU to which he was referring, which is identical with the establishment of this name listed in the 1957 Tokyo Directory, is the type of place which is not frequented in general by American nationals stationed in or visiting Tokyo as tourists; rather it caters mainly to indigenous patrons and their guests, or to foreign residents of Tokyo who have been introduced to the place and the management by Indigenous patrons. Those foreigners then become regular patrons after becoming known to the management, inasmuch as the above described ASU DE WA (BLSUGI coffee-house generally fits the description of the "Tomorrow is Too Late Club" mentioned by Valentine HAHN as a nightclub" to which he was taken by George PERIS, it is suggested that they are one and the same establishments.10. In light of the mutual acquaintanceship of William K. MARTIN and Valentine Hahn with George FLASTEROPOULOS aka Pikis, and in turn, PERIS' role vis-a-vis HANN's introduction to the ASU DE WA (JCSUGIRU coffee-house, it is suggested that FERIS may have played a similar role in terms of introducing William MARTIN to Japanese night-life. This may have eventually led to MARTIN's contact and Involvement with Japanese individuals, who introduced him to or indulged his masochistic interests.11. Additional information on the individuals mentioned above will be forwarded as developed. It is requested that addressees forward to this Agency any information on George PIRISTEROPCULCS aka PLAIS, his contacts and activities, and on the other individuals mentioned herein.FOR THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR (PLANS):WILLIAM K.

# 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992RETURN TO CIABackground Use OnlyDo Not ReproduceSECRET9 September 1960MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, FI/Division DSUBJECT: ZRGRACE - Tokyo Aspect;George PERIS aka George PERISTEROPOULOS akaGeorge PARIS, Identified Contact of Valentin HAHNaka Valentine Vasiliyevich KHAN aka Won-shin HAN,Self Confessed Soviet Agent1. Following information was made available to the writer by V lentia HAHN. The information herein reported was provided by oral brief- ing only, and the writer was not permitted to review the HAHN file itself. Following details are therefore based entirely on notes taken during the meeting which took place in CARRICO's office on 6 September.2. Valentin HAHN, who was born as Valentine Vasiliyevich KHAN on 22 April 1908, Slavyanka, Russia, and who is a Russian of Korean origin, admitted in the course of a Polygraph examination administered on an unspecified date, that he had acted at an agent in behalf of the Soviets. HAHN has been in the employ of CIA since approximately 1952, originally in Seoul, Korea, later in Tokyo, Japan, subsequently being transferred to Okinawa. He was terminated on unspecified date as a contract agent of the SR Division, and currently is or has been resettled in Hokkaido, where he has been given a job as a translator with the FBIS listening post at Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. During the debriefing which accompanied his Polygraph testing, HAHN advised that during his service in Tokyo, Japan, his closest associates had been the following individuals in the order listed:a. Arseniy YANKOVSKY and wife.b. Basil EFREMOFF - CIA Staff Employee of Tokyo Station, who has been terminated on unknown date. He was identified as a Japanese Intelligence agent.c. John Mc COY and wife - Mc COY was or still is an employee of SR Division, stationed in Japan.SECRET

Golli-Grigorevna and Marguerita PODSTAVINA - PODSTAVINA is the Godmother of Arseniy YANKOVSKIY.h. Nicholas - CIA mail employee of SR Division in Tokyo under Department of State cover. Former FBI employee.i. George PARIS (Spelling as picked up originally by Office of Security in written report of Polygraph examination report, and therefore likely phonetic.) - Greek businessman in Tokyo.3. In the course of further debriefing in connection with his Polygraph Test, HAHN claimed that George PERIS or PARIS was the individual who had introduced HAHN to a club in Tokyo located off the Ginza, the name of which club translated into English is "Tomorrow is Too Late". At this club HAHN met a Japanese hostess by the name of Noriko AWAJL whose real name was later established to be Noriko MATSUZAKAYA whom he subsequently dated. There is no further information currently available on this hostess. In the interim, HAHN has obtained a divorce from his wife, who had been a witting participant in his agent activities for the Soviets, and is known currently to be living in a common-law relationship with a Japanese girl who may be identical with Noriko MATSUZAKAYA. As indicated above, HAHN and his current mistress are currently in Sapporo, Hokkaido.4. The ex-wife of Valentin HAHN, whose full name is not known to the writer, and the two HAHN sons, are currently being sponsored for resettlement by the Agency in the United States, where all three are scheduled to receive their U.S. citizenship under CIA sponsorship.5. With reference to the "Tomorrow is Too Late" Club, HAHN stated that a number of CIA Staff Employees of the Tokyo Station frequent or have frequented this establishment and have dated the Japanese hostesses employed
[104-10176-10020.pdf — page 2]
there. Date of HAHN's introduction to the Club and to Horiko MATSUZAKAYA by George PARIS aka George PERIS was estimated by Mr. Sayle to have been somewhere between 1954 and 1957. With regard to Valentin HAHN's own inclinations toward sharing his knowledge of romance with others, Mr. Sayle advised that Security Mfice had established that while employed as a contract agent of the Tokyo Station HAHN had pimped for CIA Staff personnel in Tokyo.6. As attachment herewith, the writer appends additional background data on the professional intelligence activities and contacts of Valentin HAHN and family as noted during the oral briefing by Sayle.7. On basis of the above, it can be safely assumed that the George PARIS known to HAHN is identical with George PERISTEROPOULOS aka George PERIS, well-known Tokyo businessman and Honorary Deputy Consul of the Royal Greek Consulate in Yokohama, Japan, as reported in SCTCKY-63 and SCTOKY-64. It is noteworthy that PERIS' contacts throughout his career. commencing v'in his original reported employment in Tientsin, China, through his activities and contacts in Shanghai, China, and later in Tokyo, not exclud- ing his marriage to Aurelia CZERWINSKA, have been exclusively with individuals of Russian or Eastern European background, many of them of Russian Jewish background, who are either highly suspect or have been iden- tified as long-time agents of Soviet Intelligence. PERIS' reported route of arrival in Tokyo via Harbin, Tientsin and Shanghai, as well as his employ- ment by Sondovich Brothers and.contacts with individuals who tie in with the Boris SOLOMONIK complex and Borsol Fur Trading Corporation, smacke very strongly of the old Comintern Apparat of the 20's and 30's. Also it parallels the travel patterns of a number of individuals involved in the SOBLE case, principally the SOBLES themselves who were exfiltrated from the Soviet Union via Tokyo, Japan, to the U.S.A. and who, most notably of all, also were under cover of operating a Bristie Business as is Sondovich Brothers.8. According to earlier reporting in the ZRGRACE investigation, George PERIS is alleged to have been a contact of William Hamilton MARTIN in Tokyo, and to have offered MARTIN some type of job or business partner- ship deal in connection with the rug business.9. Mr. Carrico informally indicated that he personally suspects that MARTIN's introduction to the fine art of masochistic torture by an unidenti- fied Japanese female, as reported by Mrs. Ardelle GASDA to FBI agents, may have been effected at or through his patronage of the Tomorrow is Too Late" Club to which he may well have been taken or introduced by his friend PERIS. This possibility, however, is subject to further investigation.10. As initial follow-up to SCTORY-63 and SCTORY 64, outgoing cable of 7 Sept. 60 requesting further check-out of the Club, etc. was prepared.
