apposated to the position of honorary Deputy Greek Consul in Tokobana,
in which postuan ho was the deputy to Aniculos & PAPPALUPOULOS
aka Anthony . PAPPADUPLULLS, the honorary Green Consui ta
Yokohama. PLEISTEROPOULLS appears to have continued in this
diplomatic past until sometime in mid 1959, when an official Royal
tiellenic Liptomatic ➤ission to Japan was accredited to the currant
government of Japan, and the functive of the Yokohama Consular
(ffice were taken over from the two honorary consuls.
3. Liaison reported that on 28 January 1960 George

▲ sensitive scarce in Secal, with when representatives of this Agency
are in operational contact, and who is believed to be reliable, it has
been ascertained that George Paxis left Maurća Airport in Tokyo on
28 January 1769 aboard regular CAT scheduled flight to secul, Korea,
where he was to resume the position of resident representative in
Seoul, Korea, of the firm of CLAGGETT-HULAN COMPANY,

Señáō, in čuvai. This ūrm is üisiod in the Foreign Directory for

California street, ban Francisco, California. PARIS replaced a
British national named sisan James PRIOR, as representative of the
CLAGGETT-NGLAN Company in Karsa,
4. On basis of an cificial inquiry by a representative of our
Agency to the United States Embassy in ¿eval, it was learned that the

locally and deals in the sale of electrical and mechanical machinery
and equipment. It was also learned that the capital stock of the firm

separately.
S. The activities and contacts of George PERISTERUPCULis
aka PERIS in Japan and Kurea are currently being investigated by this
Agency.
6. George 3. PERUSTEROPCULÚS aka PERIS, identified above,
and known to William H. MARTIN as "George PARIS, is identical
with the individual whom Valentin HAHN aka Valentia Vasiliyevich
KHAN aka ↳ on-tha HAN, admitted former (1947) Soviet agent, identi-
fied as “George PARIS, a Greek bustanssman in Tokyo”, and as one of
H&HN'a elons contacts and friends in Japan. Then interviewed by
representatives of this Agency la 1958, Valentine HAHN advised that
the above “George PARIS · was the person who introduced HAHN to a
Tokyo nizkiclub, located off the Ginga, the name of which HAHN gave
only as "The Tomorrow Is Too Late Club". HAHN claimed that this
was an exact and direct translation into English of the actual d'apanese
nama, which, however, he never mentioned during the interview,
Date of HAHN's visit to this "club" in company of George PLRIS aka
PARIS, is estimated to have been somewhere between 1956 and 1957.
HAUN stated that by the "Tomorrow Is Too Late Glub' he was intro
duced to a Japanese hostess by the name of Noriko MATSUZAKATA
allas Noriko AWAJI, with whom HAHN subsequently enjoyed dates,
It is believed that Noriko MATSUZAKAYA Y AWAJI became the mistress
of Valentine HANN for an unésterminod period of time following kis
original introduction to her at the above "Club” while in the company
of George PERISTALPCULAS aka PERIS aka PARIS. HAHN also
advised, that following his original introduction to this establishment
by PERIS, HAHN had taken a number of unnamed married American
nationals, who were stationed in Tokyo, ta the same club, where such
persons had also been introduced to and had enjoyed dates with the
bostesses. At this time, there is no information to indicate that
either William Hamilton -ARTIN or Beruca ferguson MITCHELL
were among the United States nationals HAHN referred to as having
been taken to the aforementioned club by HAHN, Neither is there any
information currently availeàis to reflect that William hamilton
MARTIN was known to Valentine HAHN through their mutual acquaint-
anteship with George PARIST EROPOULLE.

this communication indicates that PeN has been of may still be a
contact of ▲manust Abraham USTROVSKY, suspect soriot Agent, who
Is the Tokyo Branch manager of the firm of SUNDOVICH BROTHERS
INCORPORATED, which firm has long been suspected of being a front
or cover organisation for deviet intelligence operations. Attention le
invited specifically to the fact that Attachment reflects that the 1954
Japan Léroctory of Foreign Firms lieto a. CSTROVb&Y as Tokyo
representative of this firm, which has offices at 01 - Tanura-cho,
t-chome, Shiba, tunate-ku, Tokyo, and telephone lines: 43–1509,
43-6369, 43-4237, whereas in 1758 subject is officially listed as
George Päälä, of PERIS ASSOCIATED ENTERPRISES, located at
4-3 Chome, Tamura-cho, sinalo-ku, Tokyo, Telephones: 43-1809
and 43-4287, reflecting that he shared telephone numbers with
KONDOVÝCH BALTHERS, and presumably with Lmsonel A. UST&CVSKY,
It is suggested that the Department of the army, Lince
Chief of Staff, G-2, intelligence, and the Federal batean of lavestigation
may have additional information on George PARISTIKUPCULLS aka
PARIS and associates.
8. No additional information, to supplement that which is
reported in paragraph 6 abɔve, identifiable with Noriko MATSUZAKAYA
§ AWAL 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 Hää” claims to have
been taken by George PARIS, an exact and direct re-translation of the
club name into Japanass from the English as given by HAHN, would
read "Asu de wa Csosugiru”, it is noted thai the Takyo Telephone
Directory for 1957 contains a listing for an establishment of this
name, as follows: ASU DE WA LÄCSUCIAU, located at Chuo-ku,
Ginza, 8-Chome, 3 Banchi, Tokyo-to, Telephone Nos.: 57-0945,
57-6363, 57-6428. A reliable source, who is familiar with the city of
Tokyo, advised in Uctober 1760, that as of 1959 this establishment
was still operating at the listed location, and that it is a colice-bouse
rather than a nightclub in the western senso, although alcoholie
„beverages are available for consumption on the premises by the
patrous. The same source also advised that the above coffee-house
employs Japanese hostesses”, as is customary in such establishmozis
in Japan, and that such females might be dated under the circum.
stances indicated by Valentine MANN. However, it should be noted
SECRET

that the same source also indicated that the coffee-house known as
ASU DE WA CSLSUGIRU 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 is 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. These foreignors then become regular patrons
after becoming known to the management. Inasmuch as the above
described ASU DE Y'A (SCSUGI&U coffee-bouse generally fits the
description of the "Tomorrow is Ico Lete Club” mentioned by
Valentino HAHN as a night:lab" to which he was taken by George
PLAIS, it is suggested that they are one and the same establishments,
10. In light of the mutual acquaintancechip of William K. MARTIN
and Valentine HAN♫ with George PLASTEROPOULOS aka PERIS, and
in turn, PERIS' role vis-a-vis HAHN's introduction to the ALU DE WA
(JCSUGIRU coffee-house, it is suggested that PERIS may have played
a similar role in terms of introducing itliam MARTIN to Japanese
night-life. This may have eventually led to MARTIN's contact and
involvement with Japanese individuals, who introduced him to or
inchuiged his masochistic interests,
11. Additional information on the individuals mentioned above
will be forwarded as developed. It is requested that addressees for❤
ward to this Agency any information on George PÅRSTERCPCULCS
aka PLAIS, his contacts and activities, and on the other individuais
mentioned berata.
