Subject noted that on the opposite end of the apartment building was another apartment with similar drapes and antennas and he, therefore, concluded that probably the second apartment was utilized for the same purpose. In the apartment where subject received his training, he was always immediately escorted to one bedroom wing of the apartment and remained in this wing all the time he was there. He was quite certain that another student was receiving training at the same time in the other bedroom wing inasmuch as frequently he heard voices. In addition, he was instructed never to come out of the rooms he was in without knocking on the door and being permitted to come out, This was true whether he wanted to go to the bathroom or wanted anything in connection with his work. It was also true . ° when he was through with his work and ready to denart. Subject observed that on several ocecasicns ‘ue also heard female voices. Subject stated that he believed that both KUEHN and SCHILLER were members of the East German Secret Police, They never asked him about other students or his friends. Subjeat. did not imow whether anyone else was aware of the training ne wat receiving, but he supposed that the principal of the music school knew that he was under instruction because on one occasion when he was unable to attend class . the princival said to him "Oh, it's right you are busy. I ‘ will. get someone to substitute for you". Subject advised that as tne tempo of his meetings increased it was necessary for him to miss some of his classes. SCHILLER instructed him to skip the clésses and obtain a substitute. SCHILLER reimbursec subject for the pay he would lose by missing the classes. Subject recalls that the first payment he received from SCHILLER was 400 East German marks.

He stated also that in a addition to the initial 300 marks which KUEHN had given to him, KUEHN also had given him the funds from time to time and KUEHN did not require that he sign a receipt. , Mail Drop Instructions After subject was advised that he was to be sent to the United States he was furnished the name of an individual in France who was to be his mail drop. This individual resides in the Saint Clichy area, a suburb of Paris. Subject was told to send his letters to this individual airmail and in the open text of the letters was to indicate whether or not there was secret writings by including the word serious or seriously on the tenth line of the open text letter. He was told that on the flap of the envelope he should not put a return address, just the name "Melvin Bushe”, With regard to letters which he would receive, the word light or lightly on the tenth line would signify to him that there was secret writing on the letter. Letters which he receives would have the name OSWALD BOUCHE on the flap of the envelope with no city or country indicated. The open text of these letters to him began "Dear Helmuth" and they | are signed OSWALD. Subject was not told how often he should write or how often he would receive letters, but was told that he should not bother them with too many letters and he therefore expected that he would communicate with them perhaps every three months. He also said that he did not expect to hear from them except when they answered his letters. They indicated that they would acknowledge receipt of his letters but indicated that it would be unlikely that they would communicate with him except after he had written them. Subject stated that the name OSWALD BOUCHE was not the name of the person at the mail . crop which he wrote to. ee Lee Ma tet =< - -~--- = 2A —- 4 we me me aR is ee - — ee en rere ee eT OI eee pape!

His only distinctive feature was his massive frame.

This man had with him about six pages of forms which were receipts for the property that subject was to receive in connection with his trip to the United States as an intelligence agent. Neither SCHILLER, KUEHN, or this man had ever required subject to furnish a statement of cooperation. In the numerous papers which subject signed at this time, he believes that there was no statement of cooperation; - however, he said that ne signed the pavers so quickly he could not be certain.

° set | © KAROT ESP - R ; ; Karot is code name of Kaarlo Rudolph Tuomi a Soviet Military Intelligence. (GRU) illegal who cooperated as a double agent with the FBI from March, 1959, until 1964, In early 1959 when Tuomi appeared at a small town in northern Michigan to acquire a copy of his Baptismal certificate, a relative became aware of his presence, contacted him, and inquired concerning status of his family which had returned to Finland in the early 1930's, Tuomi panicked and left the hotel where he was staying and an examination of possessions left behind disclosed paraphernalia that could be used in espionage activities. Investigation disclosed a Kaarlo Rudolph Tuomi was born 11/30/16, at Ishepeming, Michigan, both parents born in Finland. State Department records disclosed Tuomi at age 16 departed the United States in 1932 with his parents to return to Finland and there was no record of him having reentered the United States or having applied for a U. 8. passport, In view of the results of the investigation and our past knowledge that Soviet illegals had assumed the identity of someone who had left the United States it appeared certain we had an espionage subject and whether this individual was the real Tuomi or not he apparently entered the United States in a fraudulent manner. His activities gave the appearance of an illegal in the initial phase of familiarizing himself with his cover identity. The decision was made to interview subject in hopes of developing him as a double agent, realising the subject would flee if he detected our coverage. Subject was interviewed from 3/9/59 to 3/18/59 at a summer house in Hartland, Wisconsin, and agreed to cooperate. Subject advised he was recruited into the GRU and in May, 1957, commenced illegal training in Moscow. Subject furnished invaluable information regarding the communications systems involving the illegal networks and furnished information which assisted in the identification of other GRU illegals.

We ‘are scill continuing our efforts to resolve this, ‘ | To date we have been’ ‘unable to determine the da, “@ Courses of Action that May be Taken From the foregoing there appear to be ‘overwhelming indications that subject, whether or not he ts the real Tuomi, has recently re-entered the United States in a clandestine manner, His activities to date appear to be that of an “tllegal™ agent in the initial phase of his operation, t.€e65 building up his background as an American by familiarizing himself with that part of the United States Tuomt originally came from so that he wili be above suspicion in playing the part, The next phase will probably be for hin to establish for himself a restdence and bustness cover. Assuming that subject is an "illegal" who has recently arrived tt will probably be several months before subject engages in ary activities such as NOKE RG contacts. (ote z in the Ades CaS, Reino Hayhanen's initial contact was made about 7 months after he entered the United States). According to Agents having subject under survetllance he does not appear to be survetilance conscious. This could be explained by the fact that he has not considered it necessary to check for surveiilances since he is not ready to make any contacts of significance. Thes first questton that arises is whether we should continue our efforts to cover subject with the hope of making his contacts and uncovering an esptonage network, Of course, tt must be realized that as time goes on we run the risk of subject detecting such coverage and disappearing from sight. From a counterintelligence standpoint +t could be to the best interest of the United States to attempt to cover his activities and identify his contacts with the end in mind of developing an esptonage prosecution. However, inasmuch as such coverage would have to be maintained for several months the risk of losing him tnereases. If he does disappear, our opportund ty of uncovering hts operations would be lost forever. An alternative course of action would be to take our chances of approaching him at this time with the hope of breaking him and possibly operating him as a@ double agent. If he refuses to cooperate we will have at least neutralized him, In congidering our chances of developing him, t% is felt we might have a psychological edvantage particularly if we are right in belteving that he is a new arrival in this country. In attempting to establish himself he undoubtedly ts under some tension and uncertain of himself. ‘SECRET au 5 =» MW 55060 Docld: 32989537 Page 64

After his attempt to obtain his baptismal certificate in Negaunee, Michigan, on February 15, 1959 and the ensuing call from a Mrs. KOSKI who claimed to have known his mother and wanted to know if he had returned from Russia, he realized that he might have been over ambitious in attempting to obtain the certificate. | Although he did not feel that: the incident had direcfed any immediate attention to him and he did not feel that he was under surveillance, he recognized the situation as a somewhat dangerous one and felt thar it would-be wise for him to change his identity. : .

He said that the most lorier] hiding place would be where the communica- tion had a black background. The technique used by the sender in concealing the dut vould be to glit the postcard at the point .-of the black background and insert the microdot in between the a alit paper and reseal if. The sender would also scrape a little. of the paper away to make a bed for the dot. The microdot should be inserted at least one-half inch into the postcard. If he could not find the microdot by either of these methods, he would take the entire communication and drop it into the fodak 72 Developer, This would cause the wicropoint to turn black and thugs enable him to perhaps detect it with his eye. With regard to reading the contents of the micropoint, he stated that a twenty power maguifying glass would be strong enough to read the micropoint, if it had been written in large type. ‘He stated that he could make his own magnifying glass with the use of w ten power wagnifying glass and an eight powor magnifying glass. He stated that he would form a cardboard tube and would insert the ten power magnifying glass in the lower portion of *the tube and the eight power magnifying glass in the upper portion of the tube. He would thon adjust the magnifying glasses with relation to each other within the tube, The micropoint would be placed on a piece of glass and covered with snother piece of glass and by the use of a mirror he would shine light up through the mic,zopoint, Daylight could be used for this light. The magnifying gleseses would then have to be adjusted ‘with relation to Lhe micropoint. After some experiment he stated that Lt is porgible to find the exact distance between the two magnifying glasses and the micropoint. By inserting the two pieces of glasg which contain the micropoint between them in @ book so that the micreapointk protrudes £rom the beok, it 1s possible to permanently ascertain the exact location of the -Mierpoint by noting the paxe of the book, and in a similar manner the mamnityiog glasses with the cardboard tube can be marked for future use, ¢ aa 20) Jt pt ie , SECRET MW 55080 Docld: 32989537 Page 104

& Gunson is code name for a Soviet Military Intelli- | gence (GRU) illegal identified in September, 1961, utilizing the identity of Richard Earl Hauta. Subject was identified as the result of the Sam Survey program which was a program whereby Special Agents reviewed air mail directed to specific European cities and countries with the object of identifying correspondence of Soviet illegal agents. In September, 1961, subject became a prime suspect as a Soviet illegal utilizing an accommodation address in Helsinki, Finland. Background investigation disclosed that Richard Earl Hauta was born 11/21/26 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His father was listed as Axel Hauta who was born 2/26/03 Brantwood, Wisconsin, and his mother, Adi Hauta was born 10/12/05 in Clifford, Wisconsin, The Hauta family obtained passports to travel to Finland in 1931. A review of State Department records revealed that during the middle 1940's the Hauta . family was in the Soviet Union and there was no record in State Department files to indicate the réturn of Mr. or Mrs. Hauta or the son, Richard Earl to the United States. He was employed as a photographer by Roberts Studio, | // 3072 Steinway Street, New York, New York, since May, 1959, and resided at 1703 Montgomery, Bronx, New York. Investigation pointed out discrepancies in Hauta's documentation and an FBI Laboratory examination of a letter directed to Hauta established that the letter was typed on the same typewriter utilized in sending communications to the subject of the Karot case, a GRU illegal who cooperated as a double agent with the FBI from May, 1959 until 1964. In view of the successful results of the Karot ase, the subject was interviewed and cooperated Wi e Ter as a double agent until his departure from the United States én May 16,-1962. Subject was interviewed from 9:30 a.m. 10/16/61 until noon 10/2'2/61 under secure conditions when he was d and proceeded unaccompanied to his residence ia Bronx, New york. Subject admitted he was Leonard Vassilevitch Ukrainian dinsky, born on 1/20/25 at Kotovsk, Odessa, Soviet Socialist Republic, he advised he had been recruited Classified by 3016 Exempt from GDS, Category_ 2 3.

SECRET into the Soviet Intelligence Service in 1955 and began his training as an illegal in the GRU in an apartment in Moscow at that time. Subject furnished complete information pertaining to his training and assignments in the United States, the methods of communications and identified two other Soviet illegals with whom he had been in contact with in the United States. He advised his assignment related to the development of information concerning naval operations, the Berlin situation and any mobilization plans under way in the United States. Subject cooperated as a double agent until he departed to the Soviet Union in May, 1962, in accordancé with instructions from Centre on anticipated home leave with the expectation he would return to the United States. To this date he has never returned. An analysis of other activities pertaining to this case indicates that subject, would not be returning to the United States. In view of the fact that subject cooperated with the FBI, returned to the Soviet Union, and exact whereabouts are not known at this time, this information should be closely held so as not to effect the security of the subject.

MR. MOORE - MR. SULLIVAN GUNSON: ESP-R OBSERVATIONS: e agents conduct themselves and the secure systems they have for com- munication make it extremely. unlikely that normal investigative measures would provide information concerning the actual clandestine activities. He said that recognizing the extreme difficulties in such an interview, he felt the interview should be conducted and he felt the letter should be withheld from the subject to prevent any possibility of it containing’any instructions for him to disappear. ¥ BH New York's poSition has merit and it may well be that after subject receives the letter he may disappear, Tt is also true that the great potential in one of these cases is in doubling the in- dividual and this can only be accomplished through an interview. Nevertheless, we have been extremely discreet in our investigation of this subject to date. We are accumulating information about the in- dividuals he is in touch with in New York and about his habits and personality, all of which will be helpful should we subsequently want 40 interview him. We have been investigating him less than a month and we believe that additional time may enable us to obtain more valuable information concerning him. | ve should permit the letter to go through and run the calculated risk We therefore feel that in hopes that at a subsequent time we will be better prepared to conduct an interview or take any additional action warranted. It is recognized that a decision as to interview will probably be desir- We will analyze this case on a day to day basis and in the event we feel an interview is warranted we will submit appropriate recommendations. able within the near future.

Colonel FRANCES He advised that just prior to his departure for the United States in 1958, he met an individual in Moscow, who was introduced to him as Colonel JANE or - FRANCES. She had served in an illegal capacity in the United States for about 18 years and had probably just returned to the Soviet Union upon completion of this assignment about ten days prior to the time he met her. “She had worked in an administrative or executive capacity in a private aompany in the United States.

In view of her illegal status in the US and her position as a Soviet agent, we are justified in taking this action. etree Through intermittent interrogation over a period of time, a few days or a week as has been done in the past with other Soviet illegals, we can anticipate getting her full story, and this, as has been noted, should be valuable to us. If at the end of that time she is not completely cooperative we can then consider other alternative steps which can be taken. For example, we can then consider turning her over to the Soviet Mission to the United Nations (SNUN), presenting her as one of their illegal agents uncovered in the US. If they refuse to accept her, we might escort her to a plane en route to the Soviet Union. Of course, we would arrange to have photographs taken of her when we present her to the SUN and photographs taken of her being placed aboard a plane destined outside the US, These, together with other photos that we have of her actual operations in the US, would make a very interesting story and could be very damaging to the Soviets, However, just: which course of action we arrive at wiil depend upon developments during the interview. ACTION: . If you agree, we will proceed in line with the above, Page i34
