was quite proud Of my discovery until
Kennan pointed out that my job was only
half done. If we protested to the Soviet
Government now they would just say: so
what? We're not responsible for what goes on
inside your Embassy. Perhaps someone from
another Embassy put in the mike"
Mounting Guard
Bur if we could catch the culprit and he
turned out to be a Soviet citizen. we could
make our protest stick. Moscow's caves
droppers would think twice before they tried
it again. The prospects for catching the cub
prit looked good. From the way we found the
set-up, we suspected that the job wasn't
finished. Someone. we felt. was sure to
come back before the Ambassador and
his family returned from vacation, TO
install recorder or an extension leading
out Of the Embassy grounds. So we photo
gaphed the mike and replaced it in the shaft.
It was obvious that without the help of at
least one of the servants in Spaso House the
mike could never have gotten where it was
But the question was: which servant? They
were all Soviet citizens and hence potential
agents Whoever it was would be watching
us carefully. But if we were going to catch the
eavesdropper we were going to have to watch
the attic even more carefully = and without
any of the servants knowing about it.
The Ambassador butler, highly compe-
tent Englishman called Taylor, could keep
watch on the attic during the day. But at
night one of the Embassy's officers was going
to have to stand guard.
Evening star., 1954-01-17

There was only one way of getting into the
attic without going through the front door
which was constantly guarded by Soviet door
men or through the servant-infested back
stairs: fire escape from the garden to the
roof A slylight led into the attic. But first
you had to get into the grounds without being
seen by the police at the gate or by the
servants
That evening George Kennan drove up to
Spaso House past the police apparently alone
in his old car. George stopped at the front
door ostensibly to deliver message and then
drove around the building toward the exit
gate, pausing for brief second in the garden.

thought 90, too. Hastily slowed my
papers into the safe and raced to Spaso House
where the Ambassador lived and had his pri-
vate Office in which he did most Of his work.
On the way the electrician told me he'd
spotted the wire during routine inspection
Of the Spaso House attic. It led, he said,
down ventilator shaft directly over the
Amhassador's private Office.
The holes bit too small for me, " he said

could get through.

tested the alarm system and went to bed. Next
morning when Taylor woke he discovered that
the electric current for the entire district had
failed during the night. Realizing that the
alarm system depended on the house current,
he hurried up to the attic. The first trip thread
he came to was broken. So was the second.
He crawled over to the ventilator shaft and
peered down with his fashlight. The mike
was gone.

Escape Of Spy

As TAYLOR made his way out of the attic his
flashlight picked up something that hadn't
been there the night before: the unmistakable
imprint of a woman's shoe in the thick dust.
It was easy to guess that the current was
cut to allow the spy to retrieve the mike. but
it wasn't as easy to prove.
Don't the electric-light systems in America
ever break DOWN." the Soviets would say.
Though we never caught the culprit, we
must have given her pretty good scare, for
as long as remained in Moscow we never
came across another mike. The End
