ESPIONAGE RECORD OF U.S. AG EM LXPOSLD
Moscow T.R.UD 18 April 1962--A
(Ye. Ivanov and P. Vasi.lye?a article: The Agent Known Under the Alias
of 'the Bronzed'")
(Text) On 4 November 1952 an airplane without identification marks rose
from an airfield in the vicinity of the West German city of Wiesbaden.
After several hours of flight it crossed the border of the Polish People's
Re Public. After arriving there the airplane dxopped its "load," which
did not succeed in. reaching its destination, however. With the help of
the local Population the security organs caught two spies who had been
d'=opped by this noctural airplane--S. Shknenovskiy and D. Sosnovskiy.
An investigation proved that they had. been recruited by American
intelligence and had undergone special training in one of the espionage
centers near Munich, in the village of Berg. They were taught by
American officers ax, in addition, by two individuals who called them-
selves Polish "socialist syndicalists "--named Zaremba and Byalas.
The two nocturnal guests were still giving evidence when the ringleaders
of an underground fascist organization, I. Kovalskiy, alias "Mlot, " and
S. Senko, alias "Viktor, "unexpectedly reported to the Polish security
organs. They handed the lists of the organization, materials, archives,
documents, and money to the authorities. We shall not deal with all the
docume:lts, and evidence of these four spies. We shall limit ourselves
to only some of it. They prove that the leader of the foreign department
of this fascist organization, Matselek, alias "Mareh, " in November
1950 met a certain Colonel "Pol" of the American intelligence. The two
parties concluded an agreement according to which "Marek" pledged to
furnish secret information to "Poll" to organize a widespread network of
terrorist gangs, and to con~,act s1 br rsive acl ivi tit>s, sabotage, and so
forth.

After a while, "Marek" became short of funds He was in urgent
need of additional sources of income. And he found them with the
help of the instructors of the espionage center, Zaremta and Byalas.
They introduced him to a mar bearing the alias of "the Bronzed,"
who promised, to pay for This cervices through the mentioned
intermediaries. "Pol." sensed ".Marek's" second transaction and.
suspecting him of doubledealing, demanded explanations. But then
it turned out that "the Bronzed" also worked for American '
inte1 igence, jut as "Pol"" .did . Ilatselek wrote about this to his
friends: "It became clear that this channel was in fact guided
by our friend 'tile Bronzed' from the trade unions, and finally
this is nothing else but the American intelligence service,
subordinated to one and the same center."
The spies working for "the Bronzed" succeeded in getting from him
g
only an advance-?-3,000 dollars in all. They handed all this money
to the Polish authorities. And the statement signed by one of the
and which becam public property said: ""I suppose that many
undeniable facts and documents testify to the following:
just as Colonel 'Poll is an official representative of secret
intelligence, Irving Brown is also an agent of the American
intelligence for Europe, figuring in the spy files under the alias
of 'the Bronzed ."
irvin (TRUD ellipsis) a well-known name' Wye l.l, recently
T r, a- sputter International Confederation of Free Trade Unions
reported that as of 2 April 1962 its U.N. representative would be
Irving Brown. Imperialism, with its unprecedented Mora L decline
and corruption, has produced a type of people for whom ,nothing is
sacred. They have no conviction for. which they are ready to give
their lives; they have no principles which cannot be waived.
Their aim is to toady before those who have power and t o
advance their pe-.-sonal welfare. To achieve this they are ready
to do everything--to betray their friends and to change their
convictions. Irving Brown is an obvious representative of this
kind of person.
Brown, "the Bronzed," has a long service record. In the stormy
days of the labor movement in 1947-1948, when the hirelings of
the monopolies started to undermine the World Federatiua of
Trade' Unions, he guided the operation splitting the French General
Confederation of Labor--CGT. For this purpose, Brown--as he
himself admitted in an intcrvies with one Parisian paper--was give
a million dollars.

On American intelligence orders, "the Bronzed" first made an
agreement with the reformist -CG'i' Personages and later contacted
the leadership of the "Force Ouvridre" splitter group.,-With the
participation of Brown, a report was rprepared that determined the
tasks and methods of the struggle against the progressive elements
in the CGT. As the French paper LE PEUPLE testifies, Brown and
his colleagues recommended the organization of police provocations
in France as a pretext for the arrest and elimination of militant t
union leaders and aktivists. Then it was proposed that elections
be held in all trade union groups under the control of the regime
in whioh,each candidate had to fulfill the condition of making an
official statement on his nonadherence tb the communist party.
he plenipotentiary of the AFL for undermining the European
trade union movement"--this is what the secretary general of the
French CGT, Benoit Franchon, cared Brown. And with very good
reason: Brown is responsible not pnly for the splitting operation
in the French CGT, but also for the subversive activities in the
trade unions of Belgium, Finland, Greece, West Germany, and other
countries. Brown knew what he was "d oiiig . "We must not struggle
against communism with propaganda,14 he once said to a correspondent
of the French paper LE MONDE. "We must put efficient people in
the proper places." And this is hpaT they did it.
Early In 1948 Brown recommended that the leaders of the CGT of
Belgium support the "extraordinary" Measures of the government
against the participants and leaders of the powerful strike of the
working people which had taken place the day before. The leftists
were ir"'icted for conducting subversive activities. The aut horiti
imprisoned the "rioters," and the rightist trade union bosses star
a persecution campaign against the progressive personages in the
trade union organizations. As a result of the arrest and purge of
these leftists, the opportunists could seize full control of the
federation.
Then "the Bronzed" went to Greece.. What did he d.o there? The
same as in Belgium: he helped the reactionaries to drive out
the progressive. personages from the federation of trade unions.
Brown rushed around in West Europe, performed one subversive act
after another, split the ranks of the trade unions, placed
"his people," and prepared the show which later on was called the
founding congress of the spl.itter International Confederation of
Free Trade Unions.

In 19t9 the leader of U.S. intelligence i_n~Prance (officially the head
of the American mission for economic cooperation) (brackets as printed),
Donald Bruce, ordered Brown to handle the political emigrants from
social democratic parties and trade unions. "The Bronzed" was not
inexperienced in this field. He had already secretly visited
Czechoslovakia, Poland, and other countries of East Europe. The goal
of his trip, as Brown. openly admitted to a New York POST correspondent,
was to establish "American fifth columns which would act in favor of
the blest in case of war." During his espionage travels "the Bronzed"
established contacts, primarily with persons who had c:onnectians with
trade union personages among the "expellees." As a matte:r of course,,
Brown did not have to work hard after such a trip to find a common
language with the Polish "socialist syrndicalists," who were training
saboteurs and intelligence people in the espionage center near 14 rich.
The United States acts in the world arena as an international
gendarme. The American imperialists were late when tLe colon:Lal.
cake was distributed. Now they are trying to make up for what trey missed
The means which the United States uses for this purpose are a::mme
blackmail, economic pressure, and the buying of venal bourgeois leaders.
Considering the important role of the trade unions at the present stage
of the international wrorkers movement, the U.S. imperialists do of
fail to pay them due attention. They understand very well. that it is
easier for them to lay their hands on those countries where then is
still no unity of proletarian forces and no union of the patr::ot'c
forces. And in this infamous pursuit, people of Brown's type co e in
handy.
Irving Brown has an enormous office with a large staff. The wort of
the European representative of AFL-CIO has increased. The master of
"the Bronzed" have been daily fomenting trouble in the young
workers movement in Asia and Africa, which is gathering strength.
On the orders of his superiors Brown rushes one day to the shores of
the Indian Ocean and then back again to the "Black Continent."
In May 1961 this saboteur was seen in Casablanca; he was trying
frustrate the work of the first all-African trade union conference.
In January 1962 his name was ominously heard in Nigeria. On
29 January 1962 the Nigerian Trade Union Congress sent a letter t
U.S. President Kennedy demanding that he should "immeadiately.put
an end to all kinds of attempts at American interference with the
internal affairs of Nigeria." At the same time the congress' diem ded
the eviction from the country of a member of the U.S. Embasy in Nigeria,
George McCray, and the prohibition of the entrance intD Nigeria o the
European representative of AFL-CIO, Irving Brown.

hat were the plans of "the Bronzed" that time? At a press conference
on 30 January, the secretary general of the Nigerian Trade Union
Congress, Nok, distributed among the correspondents a photostat of
a letter which Brown had written to McCray. He characterized this
letter as a document which clear:iy shows the enormous damage done to
Nigeria by American spies under'the mask of trade union personages
who try to break the unity of the Nigerian workers. As Idok further
reported, the trade union center of AFL-CIO, acting on orders of the
Pentagon and the U.S. State Department, had sent to Nigeria a
vanguard of hirelings who, cooperating with Borkhoy from the
splitter trade union congress In Nigeria, engaged in large-scale
bribery of the delegates selected for the united trade union
conference in Toadan. This operation was guided by the European
representative of AFL,-Cl'0 =
q , ar ent of the U.S. Central
Intelligence Agency, Irvin; Brown.
"Split, scare, and buy. Do not spare money!" This is the
coM rnd from Washington to the leaders of AFL-CIO, the Central
Intelligence Agency, and the, State Department. And Brown tries. Just
try not to fulfill, this command; he is, after all, in the secret
service, this agent under the alias-of "the Bronzed."
