I-Energetic play activities on the part of youngsters on the
outside street, and such interferences as the rattling of dishes,
-movement of individuals in the apartment, the fact that
at various times the subjecttspoke in subdued tones, and
. other unaccountable noises which caused interference.
In addition to the difficulties noted above, it is
'_noted that prior to and during dinner at which the FINESTONES
.and PATAKIS were present, there were at times several
conversations going on at the same time. At certain _92
intervals during the conversation the four people present -'
were discussing one topic. At other intervals there were _
conversations going on between ANNETTE FINEETONE and '
VIVIAN GLASSMAN, on one hand relating to mutual problems
of common interest, while at the same time undercurrents of
conversation could be heard between ERNEST PATAKI and
MAX FINESTONE. Furthermore, it was noted that no one
particular subject of conversation was discussed for a - L
limited period of time, and then dropped completely. Rather
the conversation would relate to one topic, would subsequently
branch off to another and would invariably return to the~
original topic. All of these factors made intelligent
monitoring of the entire conversation extremely difficult.
_ For this reason, considerable effort has been _
develop from this informant, every phrase possible which--
constituted conversation between individuals identified ash
"VIVIAN" and "ERNEST" and the FINESTONES. - :
- The "VIVIAN" and "ERNEST" referred to above, are
believed to be VIVIAN GLASSMAN and her husband, ERNEST P£TAKI.
This identification was effected through the conversation

It is further believed that the "GEOHGI" and "JANET"
referred to above are cousins of MAX FIELSTOHE, who presently
reside in the Boston,Massachusetts area.
The New_York Office will attempt to definitely identify
these two individuals through inquiry at the Hotel Statler.
It was noted that when "GEORGE" and "JANET" joined
the gathering later in the evening of 10/30/53,-no attemptwas made by the FIHESTONPS to introduce the PATAKIS by name to
"GEORGE" and "JANET". They were merely introduced as friends.
The ensuing conversations after "GEORGE" and "JANET" "
joined the gathering, at approximately 10:00 p.m., consisted ofgeneral topics of the day, such as current events» familysituations and respective pregnancies of ANNETTE CEAIT FIHESTOHE
and VIVIAN GLASSMAN.' "_ |;.- ..,._ -_ _ _ _ _. advised"that at the outset of the conversationsbetween e ?Arn r -nd FIHESTONES, discussion was had between

VIVIAN advised AEHFTTE and MAX that they are looking
for a new apartment and have not found one. VIVIAN in thisregard states to MAX, "You haven't been to our new apartment"._ MAX replies, "I didn't know you had one". VIVIAK states
that they are in GLAD's apartment. 7

with reference to the aforementionpd conversation,
which occurred prior to and during dinner at the FINEETONE
home, at which VIVIAN GLASSMAN and her husband, ERNEST
PATAKI were present, the following portion of the conversation

the various difficulties encountered as mentioned previously.

Concerning the individual name MIKHAIIDVITCH
ph! who ANNETTE FINESTONE states "was put in charge of the whole
four, one of the whole four, he is the guy that gives consent
to the other guys...." nothing is known. MIKHAILOVITCH ph!
could possibly refer to a sir name of an individual or to a
middle name of a Russian. It is not an uncommon custom for
an individual to be addressed by their middle name -
patronymic name!. This could possibly be a masculine _
patronymic of the father's name. It is also noted in the
Soviet Union, some dialects use a form identical to the
_ patronymic for the family name. Consequently, the
' individual referred to a MIKHAILOVITCH ph! could be either .g
the patronymic or family name. NYO will make every effort_
