Subsequent to the death of Golos, the courier handling material received from the Silvermasters and Ullmann delivered it through an unidentified individual to Ano-tole Borisovich Gromov, who until Dec. 7, 1945, was assigned as first secretary of the Soviet embassy, Washington, when he returned to the USSR. Gromov had previously been under suspicion as the successor to Vassili Zubilin, reported head of the NKVD in North America, who returned to Moscow in the late ummer of 1944. This whole network has been under intensive investigation since November 1945, and it is the results of these efforts that I am now able to make available to you. I also feel that lt is incumbent, upon me at this time to bring to your attention an additional factor which has originated with source available to this bureau in Canada.

It is reported that the British and Canadian delegates on the International Monetary Fund may possibly nominate and support White for the post of president of the International Bank, or as executive directof of the International Monetary Fund. The conclusion is expressed that assuming this backing is forthcoming and the United States acquiescence, if not concurrence, resulting. White's nomination to this highly important post would be assured. It is further commented by my Canadian source that if White is placed in either cf these positions, he would have the power to influence to a great degree deliberations on all international financial arrangements. This source, which is apparently aware of at least some of the jqal 0 WWttSWilL I Ulx TEXTS OF SECRET Hoover Lists WASHINGTON Following ar the texts of two letters from FBI Chief J.

November 9, 1945 Declassified H.B. Top Secret 11-16-33 By Special Messenger Gen. Harry H. Vaughn military Aide to the President The White House Washington, D. C.

Dear Gen. Vaughan: Aa a result of the bureau's investigative operations, Information has been recently developed from a highly confidential source Indicating that a number of persons employed by the Govt of the United States have been furnishing data and information to persons outside the federal Govt, who are in turn transmitting this information to espionage agents cf the Soviet Govt. At the present time it Is impossible to determine exactly how many of these people had actual knowledge of the disposition being made of the Information they were transmitting. The investigation, however, at this point has indicated that the persons named hereinafter were actually the source from which information passing through the Soviet espionage system was being obtained, and I am continuing vigorous Investigation for the purpose of establishing the degree and nature of the complicity of these people in this espionage ring. NAMES LISTED The bureau's information at this time indicates that the following persons were participants in this operation or were utilized by principals in this ring for the purpose of obtaining data in which the Soviet is interested: Dr.

Gregory Silvermaster, a long time employe of the Department of Agriculture. Harry Dexter White, assistant to the secretary of the treasury. George Silverman, formerly employed by the railroad retirement board, and now reportedly in xne ar Dept. Laughlin Currie, former 'ad- ministrative assistant to the late i res. Roosevelt.

Victor Perlow, formerly with the War Production Board and the Foreign Economic Administration. Donald Wheeler, formerly with the Office of Strategic Services. Maj. Duncan Lee, Office of Strategic Services. Julius Joseph, Office of Strategic Services.

Helen Tenney, Office of Strategic Services. Maurice Halperin, Office of Strategic Services. Charles Kramer, formerly associated with Sen. Kilgore. Capt.

William Ludwig Ullman United States Army Air Corps. Lt. Col. John H. Reynolds of the United States Army, a former contact of Gaik Ovakimian, former head of the Soviet secret intelligence INKVD in New York, is also apparently involved in the Soviet espionage activities stemming from Washington.

In addition to the foregoing group in the Govt it appears at this time that Mary Price, formerly secretary to Walter Linn- mann, the newspaper columnist and jresently publicity manager of the United Office and Professional Workers of America, CIO, FBI REPORTS TO GEN. Red Agents In is also associated with the foregoing group. The Govt documents were furnished to Gregory Silvermaster, who thereafter photographed them and turned over the undeveloped, but exposed film to a contact of the Soviets in either Washington or New York City. In the past, it is reported, the contact man made trips to Washington once every two weeks and would pick up on such occasions an average of 40 rolls of 35-millimeter film. Investigation of this matter is being pushed vigorously, but I thought that the president and you would be interested In having the foregoing preliminary data immediately.

With expressions of my highest esteem and best regards. Sincerely yours, J. Edgar Hoover LETTER ON WHITI Declassified H. B. 111651 February 1, 1948 Personal and Confidential By Special Messenger Brig.

Gen. Harry H. Vaughan Military Aide to the President The White House Washington, D. C. Personally delivered 2446 R.

Dear Gen. Vaughan: As of interest to the president and you, I am attaching a detailed memorandum hereto concerning Harry Dexter White, assistant secretary of the U. S. Treasury Dept. As you are aware, the name of Harry Dexter White been sent to Congress by the president for confirmation of his appointment as one of the two United States delegates on the International Monetary Fund under the Bretton Woods agreement.

In view of this fact, the interest expressed by the president and you in matters of this nature, and the seriousness of the charges against White in the attachment, I have made every ef fort in preparing this memoran dum to cover all possible ramifications. As will be observed, information has come to the attention of this bureau charging White as being a valuable adjunct to an underground Soviet espionage organization operating in 'Washington, D. C. Material which came into his possession as 3 result of his official caoacitv aIISedly was made available through intermediaries to Nathan Gregory Silvermaster, his wife, Helen White Silvermaster, and William Ludwig Ullmann. Both Silvermaster and Ullmann are employes of the U.

S. Treasury reportedly rectly under the supervision of White. DOCUMENTS FILMED The information and documents originating in the Treasury Dept. were either passed on in substance cr photographed by Ullmann in a ell-equipped laboratory in the bso nent of the Silvermaster home. Following this step, the material was taken to New York City by courier and made available to Jacob M.

Golos, until the time of his death on Nov. 27, 1943. Golos, a known Soviet agent, delivered this material to an individual tentatively identified as uai Ovakimian. Ovakimian you will recall was arrested some years ago as an unregistered agent of the Soviet Govt and subsequently, by special arrangements with the Department of State, was permitted to return to the USSR. After the departure of Gaik Ovakimian.

Golos delivered his material to an individual who has been tentatively identified as LBrownell did not read this indi- charges incorporated in the attached memorandum against White, commented that the loyally of White must be assured, particularly in view of the fact that the USSR, has not ratified the Bretton Woods agreement. Fear was expressed that facts might come to light in future throwing some sinister accusations at White and thereby jeopardize the successful operation of these important international financial institutions. I thought you would be particularly interested in the above comments, which originated with sources high-placed in the Canadian Govt, on the subject at hand. With expressions of my highest esteem.
