The records of the igration and Naturalizati on ierfce show Devyatkin was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on December 27,. 1888, and entered the United ttates from Winnipeg, >anada, on September 23, 1923. ie was naturalized in the United tates aistrict Court, Chicago, Illinois, June 27, 1929. At the time of his naturalization, he claimed to be a naturalized Canadian, Boris Uevatkin is now employed by the Soviet Government Purchasing Commission and resides in Washington, D. C. at L40 Spring Road, S. W. His son, david D. Devit, was employed by the United *tates Forest ervice from 190 to 19h3, at which time he was inducted into the Army of the United States. Shortly after Tilton's departure one Mt*Zilbert arrived in the United States from Canada and he took charge of all Soviet military intelligence activities. Zilbert had very little contact with. Dosenberg and investigation has shown the probability that Zilbert is identical with an individual known to have been active in New York during 1931 and 1932 known as aische Stern alias "Mr. Herb". While Dozenberg's circle o acquaintances in boviet military intelligence was widening, it should be noted. that Arthur Alexandrovich Adams who left the United States with Ludwig Martens in 1921,:had again returned to the tnaedmStates as an emloyee of the Amtorg trading Corporaion. The imigration records at the Port of New Yort indicate that he *as in New Yo City c/o Amtorg Trading Corporation from approximately ovembe r, 1928 to Jary 28, 1929.

However, Stern had hdtz trained as an expert photographerand during 1931 and 1932 witz photographed numerous U. S. military reports from various arsenals and mi litary establishments obtained by other soviet espionage agents who could not be identified by.a~ts. Fuans for this work, according to ~witz' stateent to the Kreau Agents, were brought into the country by seamen couriers from nrope. ua-ring this same period, according to Switz' statement, he made two trips to the Panama Canal Zone and insracted orporal Robert Osan regarding the procurement and tranaision of secret information of miltary value to the Soviet espionage representatives in New York. In May 1933 Seits and his wife, Marjorie flley its, went to France and established new contacts for the Soviet e ionage system, regularly collecting material from sources already established. They were arrested in December 1933 by the French authorities. At the conclusion of their trial in April, 1935 they were released after having given evidence against their accoplices, who were French residents in the pay of the Soviets. S its and his wife returned to the United States in Deceber, 1938 and since that time have not been known to have engaged in further espionage activity. R03ERT OSMAN On June 20, 193, Corporal Robert Or uea was given a court martial at Fort Sheran, Canal Zone, in which he was charged with having unlawful possession of a secret document relating to the national defense at Cristobal, ganal Zone, on or about July 9, 1932, attempting to transit the same to one Berman Meyers of Broolyn, New York, a person not entitled to receive it. The records of the court martial revealed that on HRry Daryea, whose address was in care of Dr. Joseph B.

Ouean was subsequently interviewed by representatives of the bar Department and Swits' story was corrobore ated by tma who further stated that he had received the ame of Dr. Joseph B.

In 1945 Robert Vsa was employed by the War Shipping Administration in its Operations Departent in New York City. The secret document which Osman was attespting to send to the tail drqp in SBrooklyn was a copy of the "white plan", setting forth the proosed plan -of- operations of the United States troops in the Panama Canal Zone bhould a revolution or rioting occur. VALaIThC oaGRoor anewN Valentine regory Bura was born in Odessa, Russia, September 25, 1898. He came to the United States with his parents inJuly, 1907. He was naturalized according to the records of the Imgration and Naturalization Service, July 21, 1922, in the Spree Court of New Xork County, New York. According to the identification records of the Federal Burean of Investigation, Burtan was arrested by. the United States- Secret Service in January, 1933, in New York on a charge of possession and paa sing of counterfeit *100 Federal ieserve Notes. Burtan was removed to Chicago, Illinois for tri al and on May 29, 1934, was convicted and sentenced to serve fifteen years in a Federal penitentiary and to pay a fine of $5,00. The records of the United Stae s ecret Service reveal that rtan sai nothing regarding the origin ofw soe 100,000 worth of bogus currency which h. was attempting to pass through an intermediary. The late Walter G. rivitsky, one-time Chief of oovitt Mulitary Intelligence in Western europe, stated in his book "In Stalin's Secret bervice that the bogus money being passed by &trtan had been 1rinted by orders from Moscr. Nicholas Dosenberg advised Agents of this Bureau that Alexander trtan had told hm, Dosenberg, that iBurtan's activities in passing the counterfeit money Were solely to raise funds for the Aerican&ousanian Film Corporation which was to be used as a cover for Soviet Military Intelligence activities in Roumania. It will be recalled in this regard that arta e Vice President of the Merican Rousanian ila. orporation. O July 6, 1944, lrtan was brought before the Unitedbtates Comissioner at Lewisburg, hensylvania, on a pauper's plea in view of the nonpayment of the fine of 45,0(X received in his original sentence tl was released by the United States Caissioner the sis date from the United states Northeastern Penitentiary Leisburg, Pensylvania. Since Burtan' a release from Northeastern Penitentiary be was first employed at the Wickershn Hospital, New York City, under one Dr. hill enderson, aCanadian alien. Since turtan'srelease, J. Lovestone, former (ieneral Secretary of the Canist Party of the United States, advised Agents of this Bureau that he -believed the counter feit toney assed by Burtan oriinated in ussia and that prior to Burtan's~ ernst he was a close associate of Jack bSachel and Max k.edacht, outstanding Commist functionaries in the United States.
Page 11 ozenoerg sActivities Subse uent to 1933 During the period of 1933, while the negotiations were uder way which led to a recognition of the Soviet Union by the United States, Oosenberg was residing with his first wife in Moscow, according to the statement made by Dosenber to Agents of thi Bureau. During the latter part of 1933, or the early part of 1934 according to Dozenberg, he was instructed to go to China and establish a business cover for Soviet Military Intelligence activities in that country. kn route to his assignment, he traveled frot Moscow to kerlin in the company of Marie Tiltn, the wife of Alfred Tilton, who was en route to Finland on an espionage assignment. Shortly after this, Marie Tilton was arrested in Finland for directing an espionage organization on behalf of the Soviet Union. According to Dosenberg's statement, he stopped in the United States only long enough to make arrangements to represent the Zenith Radio Corporation in. China, and proceeded to Feiping, where he met a Soviet representative who gave him $10,000. Dozenberg then established the massi Sales Corporation on the edge of the aritish concession in Tientsin, China. Dsenberg states that his time was primarily occupied with running the affairs of the business in order to make it a satisfactory cover, but that a number of Russians and thinese Agents of the Russian who were getting information relative to Japanese military activities made- the corporation offices a base of operations. In 1937 an Austrian agent of Soviet Military Intelligence named Joseph Freund appeared in Tienteta and Dozenberg was instructed to transfer the corporation to Freund and return to Moscow. Dozenberg remained four months in Moscow, duringwhich time he abmittedta report onhis activities is thina and was inatnicted to establish a businessi the Philippine Islands.
Page 12 The itobnson-Rabens uase During 1936 and 1937 an individual known as Donali u. Robinson, or Adolph Arnold hubens was involved with a group of persons in the vicinity of New ck in the obtaining of falsei U. S. passports. This matter was investigated by the Departtent of State and a number of the passports involved were allegedly used by Soviet agents. The mater came to -the attention of the State Department whe nobinson and his wife, R ita, disappeared from the Moscow hotel where they were,staying as American citizens n the winter of 1937. Donald Robinson disappeared copletely. Mrs. Robinson, or Itbens, was ultimately released by the Soviets. As a result of the State epartaent's investigation, three indtvituals in Nei York were prosecuted and sentenced to two years' imprisonment in 139 for ccnspiracy to fraudulently ohtain American passports. lchese three. were Aaron Sharfin, Oasi4 Garber and.dward olatt. iThe State uepartaent determined? that Blatt and arbar wrn knwn to to assaeiated with aosnist Party activities in the State

Salich at first refused but later became in financial.ifficulties anca orin advanced funds to his from time to time in such a manner that it became difficult for Salich to refuse to assist hi. Thereafter, Saich was paid money by Gor upon the basis of the value of the information furnished by Saich frc the files of the Office of Naval Intelligence. -The liaison between Salich and Go0rin came to light when a truck driver for a cleaning establishmnt in Los Angeles picked up a suit of clothes belonging to Mikhail Gorin and found in the.suit documents pertaining to the United States Navy which had been obtained by 8tich. The matter was. refrred to this area for investigative attention and on December 12, 1938, balich and Gorn were arrested and charged with violation of the spionage Statutes. Salich adeitted to areau Agents that he had received approximately $1700 from Gorin for reports from the files of the Office of aval inteligence. At the time Gorin was apprehended, he imedately contacted the Soviet assy in ashington, D. C., by telephone, refused to answer questions and was ultimately released under a $25,000 cash bond supplied through the Soviet Vice Consul in Los Angeles. Gorin and Salich were found guilty of espionage TMrch 10, 1939. Saich 'as sentenced to four years' iaprison t ad a #10,000 fine and Gorin received a sixyear imprisoment and a $10,000 tin. Sth.erved his sentence. Gorin appealed and carried his appeal through to the Supn Uourt of the United States where the conviction was affirtae s as unaaus qitn, on January 13, 1941. On March 22, 1941, the trial dge, a rcoedation of the Deparat of State and through authorisation of the Attcrn General, suspended the execution of Grin' a original sentence and placed hm op probation. The new sentence was conditioned upon the pyment of the 41 0fne and court costs and upon the condition that Gorin left the United States' ithin 48 hours and never returned to this country. On the same date t ftand costs were paid and Gorin sailed from Los Angeles for Vladivostok, USS.

Page 44 ed A Intelligence Activities in Canada Dr. Alan 9Sa May was born in Birmingha, a.ngland, in 1911. Re was sent to Canada about the middle of 193 with a group of physicints, who worked on the aa bomb roa ect in the Department of Scientific and Industrial esearch in Canada, According to officers of the Manhattan Eagineering District in uashungton, D. C., May, like all other British scientists assigned to atoma bomb research, was supposed to have been investigated by British Intelligence agencies prior to his departure fre the United ingdom. The following information regarding the activities of Dr. May was furnished to an agent of this hrea and to representatives of the Hyal Canadian Mounted Police by Igor Guserto, formerly e.loyed in the Office of the Soviet Military Attache, Ottawa, Canada. According to U(sako, May had been in the pay of the Soviets for many years and was a secret member of the oianMist Part of Great Britain. Te possibilit of his Party mebership was apparently known to some of his co-weorkers, aut they consiredt that nisa political opiirns would not interfere with his scientific wor and consequently did not advise british authoritiesa of the circumstances. According to Ousako, May was left strictly alone following his arrival in Canada for almost a year.
