came amid unconfirmed reports
that changes were pending in Of
fetal levels of the government and
the Communist Party.
Clements, who is 48. is a Slovak
and longtime Communist. Dur
ing World War II he was in
London with the Czech govern
ment-in exile headed by the late
President Eduard Benes. He was
made Foreign Minister in 1948
serving until last March.
Premier Antonin Zapotocky an
nounced at cabinet meeting
March IA that Clements had been
relieved of his duties at his own
request. No reason for this move
was given at the time, but West
ern sources here had suspected for
some time that the ousted Foreign
Minister bore a western taint'
because of his wartime work in
London.
At the ninth congress of the
Slovak Communist Party in Bra
tislava last May. Clements was
accused of bourgeois national
ism" and enmity toward the So
Wet Union. It was disclosed he
! had recanted but that his recan-
tation had not been accepted.
In July. however. he was made
head of the Securities Department
of the state bank. Clements Is
known to have been working in
that post as late as three weeks
ago.
There have been plausible re-
ports lately that changes are being
made in the Ministry of Foreign
Trade and less plausible stories
that the Government itself is
headed for a high-level shakeup

House Group Reveals
Prewar Red Spy Plot
Involving Phony Bills
BY the Associated Press

A story Of a prewar Communist
plot involving passage of $100, 900
IN counterfeit money in Chicago
to support Soviet espionage in this
country and in Romania was un-
folded yesterday by the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities.
The committee. which is digging
into international ramifications of
Communist espionage, made pub
lie its report of closed-door in
ouiries, held in late 1s4s and early
1850.
According to testimony, three of
the main characters in this spy
story served prison terms-two in
connection with passage of the
"phony money" and one for pass
port Justification. But their trial
apparently did not reveal the Red
star in the background.
Story Begins in 1929.
The story, as unraveled by the
committee testimony, begins about
1929. Nicholas Dozenberg, then
Al. native of Latvia and party
worker in Chicago and New York,
told Of being summoned to Mos
COW and ordered to set up "coyer"
IN the United States for Soviet
spying in Romania. He said he
set up the American Romanian
Film Corp. in New York In 1881
as "a front for Soviet military in
telligence in Romania."
Another witness, DR.. William
Burtan of New York, a naturalized
Russian, said that although he
had been expelled from the Amer
lean Communist Party in 1929, he
agreed to help establish the
front" He said he was arrested
IN 1888 and served 10 years in jail
Tor passing counterfeit money.
Burtan related that Dozenberg
told him the money had been
counterfeited in Berlin and Do
zenberg wanted his help in get
ting 1t converted into sound
money. He said Dozenberg
planned to use the proceeds to
finance various fronts" for his
activities.
Burtan brought into the plot
o German, Hans Daschan Won
Buelow. whom he described as a
hard-up "adventurer of the
world" who knew everybody and
everything" and was probably a
Nazi.
Squealed When Caught.
Burtan said Won Buelow had a
friend in Chicago, a private de-
tective. named Smiley, engage
underground characters" to dis
tribute the money.
When one got caught he
"squealed." the witness added.
He related that Won Buelow was
tried separately and served one
hour in Jail. He had acted as a
Government witness.
Dozenberg was arrested in De-
cember. 1889, for obtaining a
passport under false pretenses and |
on a plea of guilty was sentenced
to a yea1 in the penitentiary at
LeWisburg.
About 1889, Burtan said, he told
the FBI the real facts" in the
counterfeit plot. and said he be-
tieved Dozenberg was never pros
ecuted in that case because the
statute of limitations applied.
At the time of the committee
hearing Burtan said he was doing
medical research work in the
Union Health Center of the
international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union in New York. His
license to practice has been re-
