First Interview:
W said that he immediately nerceived the reason for the
interview since he had reed of G'.'Y'!5.L'HGESSs disanpearance on the_Dreceeding
day in Time Magazine while he was at the beach. seid he met
BURGESS in London in the latter 1930's. BURGESS had a job with the BBC at
that time and seemed to know all of the writers and literary peor-le of London.
This is how met him, although the exact circumstances of their
first Ineetinr were not recalled by him at that time. *believes that
BURGESS may have been in clrarge of a orogram on the BBC during that period,
he stated that he saw BURGESS frequently during the Years 1937 and 1938 and
recalled that unon his return from China with min 1938 stresses
had rehearsed him for a nrogram on the BBC whereindescribed his
trip and some of his ideas on Chinese affairs.
During the year 1938*} said he also saw scacass frequently
at the a hovel in london and at other orivate oarties In connection withthis,& explained that BURGESS was a highlv emotional perwn and a
he-evy drinker. With regard to BLGESS's oolitical philosoohv at this time '
w stated that he was not at all clear. he exrlained the "all the_ rsons in his per-tcular r:*roun,which included PUr;G£S5-,/L; ard were warmlv in favor of the Soanish lofralistGovernme sa ti this feelinglwes common to nersons in his rroup.

said that he had no 1-cnowledee of any Conrnunist svmpathies on the
of BURGESS excect hi.s "warm endorsement" of the Spanish Lovalists which
i u does not no-' consider to be nro-Communist in the light of the
thinking of that neriod! and knows of no connections which BURGESS could have
had with Soviet est-iona gs, h said that he recalled sun-sass in that
period 93?-1935! as a nerson who was given to excess in drink and who was
trying very desperately tc be "one of" the rroup", weaning the literarv circle
in which et el traveled. said he felt a kind of city
for EUFEGESS because he was a confirmed social climber and pretty obvious in
his tactics. In this same vein and incluiinp the year 19:57, when
last saw BURGESS in london when PTJRGESS was working" for the British Foreign
Office, *1-ecalled that P'UTi =ZST~? alwavs war ted to be or. the inside"

at this noint that PL?-TESS was lmown to he a homosexual. Fe did not consider
this to be unusual, aiding that even if this condition were "erercllr known

homosexuality would be a weal-mess which could be used to advantage bv the
Soviets. He repeated th"t he knew of no possible Comintern connections
which PUHGESS rnig-'ht have had and stated that it was irconceivable to hiir.
that the Soviets would ever choose a nerson such as PHRGESS to work as an
esoionaee agent. His reason for sarinr this was that PUh;G;SSs drunkenness
an-:1 emotional instability were thinfs which were well lmox-n and verv real.
Secondly, he cannot imaoine BURGESS eneagin;-7 in any clandestine activitv
for anv t-roloneed neriod of time without wantine to let someone know of
his activities. m said he did not know and never met any of BUWZESS
relatives and never recalls BUHGESZ sneakinr of hone or :"a-1i1,v. He does _
