This interview of ALLEY gave the interviewing agents

no reason to believe that ALLEY is being untruthful. Any

impression in that regard which might have arisen from the

original interview is believed to be dispelled by the following

observations:

This reinterview of ALLEY afforded interviewing agents

a further insight of ALLEY's personality which it is felt may

now be safely characterized as one of extreme introversion.

Therefore, while the reaction to the first interview might have

raised a question as to the degree of his cooperation, after the

present interview interviewing agents were more of the opinion

that ALLEY's personality is such that even when completely

cooperative he appears to begevasive or holding back. At is also

believed that fif ABARCHALINE and/or Soviet Intelligence was l

attempting to cultivate or develop ALLEY that&the latter

introversion and general lack of a warm personality would have been

sufficient reason to abandon such a course of action.

As an indication of ALLEY's complete disinterest in

subjects

not associated with architecture, he stated at the outset

of this interview that he had not thought about the first

interview until the arrangement was made for the second. interview.

He said that he had been working night and day on an architectual

project which had been assigned to him plus the fact that he was

recently married.

Following this statement by ALLEY the secondary

lan of approach as outlined inferep was pursued. *He was advise

that the identity of the Soviet had been determined and b

interview was conducted with this thought foremost in ALLEY's

mind.

It is believed, therefore, that ALLEY has furnished all

information within his best recollection.

In the tinal analysist

would appear that because of

ALLEY's negative attitude phist

Slack of moral weakness and

merely screening ALLEY,

Because of ALLEY's nature and personality, Chicago

did not question him specifically regarding the points raised

by the Department of the Navy (outlined in Bulet to Director

2of

Naval Intelligence dated 2/27/61) •

However, the Bureau may!

wish to advise ONI, with its dissemination of this report, of

the following observations and information gained from this

interview which have a bearing on these points.

As evidence that ALLEY and his father do not enjoy

a close relationship is ALLEY's lack of knowledge of details

of his father's employment and the erroneous impression that

his father does not possess security clearance.

It would appear unlikely that ALLEY's father is

aware of his son's activities because of the latter's negative

attitude and the fact that he had assigned no importance to his

association with the Sovietn Copenhagen%

Finally, as to whether ALLEY influences his father,

it is the opinion

of interviewing agents that ALLEY's personality,

which is far from domineering, would militate against this

possibility.

further, since he has indicated his desire to cooperate with thie

Bureau in the event of any correspondence or subsequent contacts

by Soviet personnel Sit is not believed that any additional

interviews or, further investigation of ALLEY is warranted and this

case is being closed.

This report is classified confidential since it reveals

the Bureau'sinvestigative interest

in a representative of a

foreign diplomatic establishment.

ALLey now feels LADISLAV was more interested in him duringirst

less interested and friendly. Because of casual relationship ALLEY

had attached little significance to association.
