West.
The modern Communist spy is out to
destroy the world of free enterprise,
the World of democracy. His ultimate ob-
ject is: dictatorship. The West calls its
dWfl' gents "intelligence officers" while
it Perms the Communist agents "spies."
But actually there is a real difference
between the two, both in purpose and
methods.
West Agent Shuns Brutality.
The Western agent has been'trained
to make his own decisions. The Com-
munist spy is disciplined to follow
orders in the most minute detail, often
fails when he has to rely upon his own
brain. The Western agent shuns brutal-
ity. To the Communists, this appears as
weakness. Actually it- is a sign of
strength.
I believe that as of today our Ameri-
can intelligence services are most com-
petent, if not more effective than the
Soviet spy system.
The Mata Hari type of spy has. dis-
appeared. The organized worker is sel-
dom to be found inside a spy ring. The
spies who personify the sickness of our
times and seek strange fulfillments
which lead them into a bargain with the
devil-these strange men, selling their
own souls and their, own countries-
are often the pseudo-intellectuals.
A number of scientists have teamed
up with foreign powers and enemies of
their, country. Such were Dr. Klaus
Fuchs and Dr. Alan Nunn. May, the
physicists, and Dr. Bruno Pontecorvo,
the cosmic ray, specialist who vanished
from Britain and went to Russia.
The four most powerful men In the
world of espionage in our generation
have been Russia's Lavrenti Beria, Ger-
many's Adm. Canaris, Britain's Sir
Percy Sillitoe and the USA's Allen W.
Dulles.
Such men are men of almost limit.
less power, men who write the secret
history of our age.
Berta and his spies had been suc-
cessful in obtaining blueprints of the
B-29 bombers and the critical structure
of the Nagasaki atom bomb.
Britain's Sir Percy.
Klaus Fuchs had supplied the atomic
information from the British side, the
two Rosenbergs from the American
side. Dr. Pontecorvo had betrayed the
West's cosmic ray research, and two
British diplomats had escaped into Rus-
sia with secret information on British-
American defense plans.
The main British code had also fallen
into Russian hands. No wonder Lavrenti
Beria and his office were confident their
apparatus could not be matched.
One challenge to Soviet espionage su-
premacy and the tightening of Western
intelligence policies was due to Sir Percy
Sillitoe, the 6-foot 2-inch chief of Bri-
tain's famous MI 5 Service. He is a re-
markable but little known man. He has
achieved his success by a fanatical will'
to supervise almost every detail of his
intricate job. He will go anywLwre any-
time if he feels he is needed.
When Britain's first atom bomb was
exploded in Australia during the fall of
1952, Sir Percy was even more proud
than the scientists who had actually de-
veloped the new weapon. One year be-
fore the explosion he had visited Aus-
tralia and had personally supervised
and set up' intricate precautions against
any possible enemy agent infiltration.
Thanks to Sir Percy, every labora-
tory, every testing ground, every guided
missile station or airfield received his
personal check and supervision against
Russian espionage. And Sir Percy knows
all the tricks used by the Russian secret
service.
It's a Big Job.
The tall espionage chief of Britain
is, now 64-years-old and looks more like
a simple farmer than a military expert
and spy master. He began as a constable
and police , official-an austere man
noted for his competence and sense of
justice.
"It's a big job," said Britain's ace
spy catcher when he took the office ir.
1946. "I think I can tackle it."
Since then the man himself and hi,
work have been wrapped in secrecy. No,
even the Russians knew when Sir Pere
and Gen. Bedell Smith met to map
new strategy against the grave digger,
of Western democracy.
Gen. Bedell Smith was America's firs

Svea Gruenfeld, nicknamed "Five Fingers" by her fellow agents in
the Berlin unde'rgiund during World War II, was a messenger for
anti-Nazi forces at the age of 14.
Klaus Fuchs' youth can tell us why
he revolted against present society-
why he, the frustrated pastor's son,
wanted to do something "really big."
When it is considered that-be was the
son of a father who always had tried
to make him different-a father he had
often revered and often hated--Klaus
Fuchs' conduct becomes understandable.
Klaus Fuchs' father was'-a minister
and pacifist in the early Hitler era in
Germany. The oti r ,,Klauses went
marching to conquest.
They were Prussians; Klaus hated
Prussia. They were Nazis; he became a
refugee. Perhaps there were always two
Klauses-one the German, the other the
alien--inside him.
Unstable, persecuted, unhappy and
shaky, he needed a violent outward al-
legiance, the love of areal country. In
these years he was often close to a
breakdown.
It is here that the secret Soviet ma-
chine moved in. Fuchs listened to the
agent sent by Lavrenti Berta, then the
incredible head of all Soviet espionage.
Though underpaid, Fuchs was not in-
terested in the five hundred dollars
thrust upon him by the agent. It was a
twisted "humanitarianism" that won
him.
Was Fuchs a typical Soviet spy?
He was weak, lonely, and lost in this
world of chaos. But he did not fit the
requirements of h Soviet spy as defined
in Soviet intelligence Order 185,796:
"Agents must be of the intelligentsia;
they must not shrink from the last
sacrifices at the crucial moment."
Fuchs was not capable of this last
sacrifice. He betrayed his co-workers,
many of whom were new Soviet spies,
caught during the last few years.
Alfred Dean Slack, the Eastman-
Kodak spy, testified against courier
harry Gold. Gold admitted that David
Greenglass had stolen the blueprints of
the Nagasaki atom bomb for him. Green-
glass in turn betrayed his own sister
and brother-in-law, the Rosenbergs, by
confessing. So the chain reaction went.
But there are more Soviet agents who
remain loyal, who will never capitulate:
These are the men and women V who
would rather die than betray their own
spy ring and Soviet superiors.
The professional spy service will re-
cruit all types of spies, from the homo-
sexual or other abnormal personalities
to' the dollar-a-year man.
There is the spy who will team up
with the secret services because "people
are apt to overlook me. I must show
that I'm somebody."
Spies have believed there is both
money and glamour in espionage. There
is not. Communist and Nazi spies have
often worked without fee, under party
orders. Still the Nazis once paid $250,-
000 to the Albanian agent Cicero, who
copied secret documents of the Yalta
and Teheran conferences. It is said, how-
ever, that the money was counterfeit. I
know many agents who have never re-
ceived more than 50 dollars a week, plus
expenses.
Perverted Character.
Gerhart Eisler, who was called Soviet
spy No. 1 in America, lived in poverty
in New York. Magda Fontages, who was
Mussolini's mistress and later a Gestapo
spy, worked for only $42.50 a month
during the war.
Von Rintelin, Germany's master spy
of World War I, was a patriot woo
organized the wildest espionage acts--
from blowing up factories to fomenting
strikes. He never returned to Germany.
He died in England. He did his duty and
hated the Prussians at the same time.
Dr. Edward Glover, an eminent Bri-
tish psychiatrist, who attended the trial
of Fuchs, analyzes the character and
the mind of a traitor as follows: "His
character is perverted, often incalculable
and frequently antisocial. Above all he
tends to be devoid of guilt, indeed, may
take a certain pride in his more bizarre
achievements."
Dr. Glover continues his analysis of
spies and traitors: "The wartime quis-
ling was, in fact, more than half gos-
ling: a weak, immature, and childish
character. The quisling and the traitor
have much in common with the school-
boy who sneaks to the teacher whom he
secretly hates, but whose attention he
nevertheless covets."
