posed:

been running a veritable espionage

the Government, the output Of

The committee gave this descrip-
ton of how Mr.. Chambers operated
in his espionage heyday:
chambers testified that he had
two sources of information in the
State Department. His principal
source, from which he obtained
most OF the strictly confidential
documents, operated in the follow
ing manner:
"The source would bring the docu-
ments out in a briefcase and take
them home. There, Chambers would
take over the briefcase and go on
to meet a Photographic expert at a
place. The expert
would take the briefcase and docu-
ments to a laboratory in Baltimore,
put the documents on film and
would return the briefcase and con-
tents to Chambers the same night.
Films to Soviet Officer.
Sometimes, Chambers stated, 1t
would be as late as / in the morn

back. He would then proceed to
the home of his source, deliver the
briefcase and the documents would
be returned to the State Depart

chambers would then pick up
the microhlms in Baltimore. place
them in a tobacco pouch and carry
them to New York, where he would
deliver them to a Colonel Bykov, Of
the Soviet espionage system, who
was at that time known to Chambers
only as Peter"
Col. Bykov has been identified pre-
viously in committee testimony as
Boras Bykov. head of the Russian
military intelligence in this country.
