telephone numbers which Burgess had both in his office
and in his room in the Philby resience; in addition, there
were notes believed to have Z1 een in the handwriting of .
Burgess in the Philby home. It was on this basis that -

London Oct 29 Reuters! - The British Foreign Office disputed
a claim today that the F.B.I. holds a recording of a private
speech containing Communist sympathies made in New York by
a British diplomat.
But the Foreign Office did not deny a statement issued
yesterday that the Diplomat - Donald Maclean who vanished
apparently to east Europe 18 months ago - held Communist
symyathies.
Maclean mas named as a sympathiser by Foreign Undersecretary 7
Lord Reading in the House of Lords yesterday.
He was replying to a charge from a member, Lord Elton, that
the F.B.I. had the speech recording. Reading denied any e__
knowledge o£ the speech. ' i"
A Foreign Office spokesman suggested today that there may 3
be confusion over another speech which was recorded at a :
New York party by another missing diplomat, Guy Burgess, who'
vanished uith Maclean. - ' 1
.This speech is believed to have been a burlesque of Premier ;
Winston Churchill's gruff platform manner and contained no I
Communist sympathies.

Re E a
e Drew Pearson, in his newspaper column, The
lashington Merry-Go-Round," entitled !Red Agent Enticed
Allied Aides, which appeared in the "Fashington Post?
newspaper for Monday, January 12, 1953, reported that ._
Italian and Allied authorities now believe a top Soviet
agent in lfestern Europe was the Soviet/"mastermind behind
the abduction oj Bruno Pontecoruo,_Qug-Burgess, Donald
Maclean, Noel Field, and other menbeF§'Ef*the Field family.
lhis soviet agent is identified as H; Karl, who reportedly
has many assumed names, travels alternately on four different
passports, speaks si: languages, and is the most accomplished
spy in Europe today. According to the article, Karl was born
in Austria, and began espionage work with the Nazis. He
reportedly worked with Admiral 0anarie' Nazi spy group in
the Middle East and llsbve planted the Albanian valet on
the British Ambassador in Istanbul, thereby permitting Hitler
to obtain the British secret code and 32:8 of the Alliestop war secrets.
Karl reportedly switched his allegiance to
Russia in early 1944, and has been one of Russia's top agents 7ever since.
According to the article, Karl was in Prague
when Ioel Field was kidnapped and was believed to have been
instrumental in enticing other nenbere of the field family
behind the Iron Curtain. The article states that Allied .
authorities give Karl almost sole credit for, sneaking'
British scientist Bruno Pontecorvo behind the Iron Curtain.
Allied authorities reportedly believe that Karl had contacts
with Fontecorvo in England and arranged to meet Pontecorvo
during the scientist's vacation it Milan, Italy. The article
states that Burgess and Maclean are believed to have been
; lured 'to'a point near Udine, Italy, through a combination
Y of blackmail and bribery. Fran Udine they are reported to
have been flown in a ,private__plane loi thout custons clearances

On one occasion, some time prior to July 111, 1951; I111-10
standing in the market place at La Guerche-De-Bretagne, France, he
noticed a car come down the road leading from Rennes, France, and turn
into this market place. The car was a small sports car, make unknown,
and color not remembered. '1hc car contained two young men, whom he could
not describe, and stopped for a few seconds in the market place to ask
directions oi an unkzncnvn individual who was working at one of the stalls
in the market place. They then drove on in tin direction cflantes,
' Q stated that he was standing about fifty yards
tron this car at the time it stopped, did not talk to the imiividuals,
did mt talk to the individual from when they asked directions and was
not close enough to the car to identify the izndividu-11: therein if he saw
than again, The individuals at the time made no mpression on hiss and
he did not notice the license plate on the car. He stated that the only
reason he noticed the car at all was because it was not common for this
typo car to go through La Guerche-De-Bretagne, France, as there are no
tourist attractions in this city. -
Be stated that after reading the above-mentioned
article in "rm Reporter, ho felt that these two individuals night have
been the subjects and felt the matter should be referred to the FBI for
what it I38 worth.

Reference is made to the memorandum from Mr. Branigan to Mr. Belmont gunne-dated February B, 19514, with which the following specimens were transmitted /kfor examination in the Laboratory: _ W _ ,
. P, j
A1150 SUEJITIED: Three clippings from Punch Magazine, attachedto a sheet of white paper. V
It is concluded that the typewriting appearing on the envelope designated
as Q12 was made on a machine equipped with Remington #3 elite type spaced twelveletters to the inch. 6-!
It has not been possible to reach a definite conclusion as to whether the
"GUY HIRGESS" signature appearing on the Christmas card designated as Q13 was written
by GUY HJRGESS inasmuch as the Laboratory does not have available e sufficient number
of genuine signatures of GUY BURGESS to determine what variations might be expected _
in his signature. Those known signatures of GUY BURGESS which are available in the
Laboratory are informally written and do not constitute sufficient material foradequate comparison with the questioned signature. M
The evidence submitted is attached hereto. Photographs have been retainedin the Laboratory file. < w-.. -Q

A review has been made of a new book entitled
"Ihe Hissi ng Hacleans"_ by Geoffreyfoare, published inFebruary, 195.5, by thej-{liking Press, New York City. This
,book provides a rather full and accurate, account of the
idisappearance of Dona1d'Mac1ean and Guy ':Bz4rgess_ in May, 1951,
and the disappearance 'Zf_'f"1Je1 iaa Haclean and her children
in September, 1953. The author is a friend of Melinda Haclean
and is a foreign correspondent for the "London News Chronicles"
' On page 59 of the book, in speaking of Donald 1:acl'ean's
early upbringing, the seiner states "Donald sought and foundnew gods, a new religion. And that religion was Communism.....
. Q
_ On page 10.1, in speaking of the period just priorto his disappearance in Hay, 1.9.51, the osehor points out that ,

burgess was a close friend or Maclean andwas reported tolbe a Soviet agent. Recent publicity regarding
Maclean and Burgess has resulted from the disclosure in the
press of an allegation by Vladimir Petrov, a Soviet MGB agent
who defected in Australia in April, 195k. According to Petrov
Macleen and Burgess were long-term Soviet agents now residing
near Moscow and acting as advisers to the Soviet Foreign

This is in answer to your inquiry regarding a

investigation of subjects Haclean and Burgess was based on
information furnished by the Soviet defector Igor Gouzenko.

has not furnished information regarding subjects. British

Memorandum to The Director
former cypher clerk in the Soviet Embassy at Ottawa, may
have pointed the first finger of suspicion at British
diplomats Guy Burgess and Donald Haclean ten years ago.
The release indicates the basis for this speculation to
be the transcript of Gouzenko's testimony before McCarran
and Jenner published in 195a from which 3h words were
censored for reasons of "international propriety" by the
Canadian Government. The article indicates that among the
deleted words was a cover name as well as the name of the
organization in which the spy worked, and because of an
earlier reference to the British it was assumed Gouzenko
had disclosed the presence of at least one Communist spy,and possibly two, in London. You noted on the above news M
release, "What about this angle? H." -
Bufiles reflect the above speculation to the
effect that the Soviet defector Gouzenko furnished the
information on which the investigation of Haclean and
Burgess was based is erroneous. Gouzenko has never furnishedinformation concerning either Maclean or Burgess. W
