affiliationet he advised that he did not have a clone friend-
ship with 1:-n2~;As.§5,,,., _
Investigation in thie matter to date ha: been for
i the purpose of ascertaining if HELEN DUXAS is identical withU the Senior Secretary to Dr. EINSTEIN during the 1929-1931 .
period, inasmuch In the Senior Secretary was s1 ediy thLone who decoded the Soviet Espionage Cabiegrane 1!;/' _ 1J$3 I
. 92 ,-A review of the file fails to reflect any outstanding k leads in thie case and the most logical remaining lead in .5] 5
this latter ie to interview HELEE DUKA8a '
It is believed that DUKAS should be interviewed
for the purpoee of ascertaining her present CF sympathies
and to ascertain if she was the Senior Secretary to EIESTEII
in Ber1induring 1929-1931-
In regard to Dr. EIRSTEIR, s review of hie file
reflects that one of the outstanding Ieade at thi time isto ascertain the whereabouts of hi: son EDHARB*Ei§ST£1K who
was last known to be residing in Switaerlands
Dr. EIISTEII was written auq=ut 5, 1¢F3 and that to date t ,only activity which has been noted for him has been his p tie-
ipation in counseling witneeees not to testify before theF.rCongreeeional Committees. It is believed that further ini§ati3
ation in thie matter is not warranted after the completion ofpresent outstanding leads, and upon the o0mp1stiO'?I theseleads, the Iiewark Office will consider closing case
concerning Dr. Eisriil,
FIt is believed that an intervi?_. ith aztsn namewould provide an opportunity to ascerta jhe whereabouts

sure he had no connection with the Comunist movement or sympathy with
Comunism in any way. She said that he, as was true of his closest

anti~Communist" as a matter of principle. She said that no allegation

the effect that prior to 1933 a Comunist Internationale +
COMINTERN! and other Soviet apparate were very active in -
gathering intelligence information in the Fer East. Hang
international Gomunist functionaries were stationd in
Shanghai and Canton, China, for the purpose of gathering
intelligence information, One of the means of communica-
tion used by these individuals to contact Central Head-
quarters in Moscow was through the use of telegrams, Such
telegrams, which were always coded, were never sent
directly to Moscow, but were sent to agents in other
countries such as Egypt and France where they were re-
copied and forwarded to telegram addresses or "drops"
in Berlin, Germany. According to T-l, one of these telegram
addresses was the office of ALBERT EINSTEIN in Berlin, and
this address proved to be very successful inasmuch as
EINSTEIN received a great quantity of mail, telegrams and
cablegrams from all over the world. EINSTEIN's personal
secretary, whose identity was not known to T-1, gave the
telegrams to a Soviet Courier, whose duty it was to pick
up such mail from several telegram "drops" and then channel
the mail to neseewfmd
92"EINSTEIN's Berlin office allegedly employed at
least two female secretaries, both of whom were Communist
sympathigers, The exact period EINSTEIN's office was used
as an address for coded cables by Soviet Intelligence was
not known. However, EINSTEIN's cable address was already
in action as of 1929. The reason for the use of EINBTEIN'e
cable address was due to the quantity of legal cable traffic
which he received due to his established international
reputation, which in turn provided a relatively innocuous
cover for illegal comunications. The person in EINSTEIN:
office through whom arrangements were made for the use of
the cable address, was EINSTEIN: chief secretary at the
time, However, T-l did not know the identity or background
of the secretary in question. This individual was
allegedly EINSTEIN's senior and private secretary, at
least during the period 1929 to 1931. This person wasallegedly closely associated with the irirnationalapparate funetionary of Soviet Russia. 92%,¢./I The informant described t peration of t e E:"

lg An intelligence message was first transcsg 7 into a prearranged Gomintern or Soviet code.. This "
message was then transcribed into a second code prior
to the time it was transcribed into an approved internatio 1
cable code, The informant believed that EINSTEIN used a code
developed in Germanz by aubotrryfrrosss Publishing and News-
paper firm. The double coded message was then dispatched
to EINSTEIN's cable address, At EINSTEIN's office, it was
the duty of the senior secretary to decode all messages
and to give them to EINTEIN for reading. This person was
therefore in a position to intercept all messages which
did not pertain to EINSTEIN and transmit them to theappropriate Soviet courier{jF34~/ .Brew
This courier or contact man responsible for
liaison with EINTEIN's Berlin Office, came directly to /*that office to pick up incoming cables for the appsratetijj92 '**'
The informant advised that it was believed that
EINSTEIN was unaware of the true nature of the correspon-
dence which was channeled through his cable address from 7
the Far East and it is quite possible that arrangements
had been made through EINSTEIN'S secretary without his
kn 1 d fow e ge 32;! A,
I ormant also pointed out that if EINSTEIN were
aware of the use of his address from the beginning, the
most logical approach to him in order to gain his approval
of such activities would be to convince him that it was
II Al in the interests of human r1gnt1§§§{!,_
Informant further advis that at least one
incident occurred during the Summer of 1930 which indicated
that EINSTEIN must have had some knowledge of the use of
his cable address for purposes other than his own. At that
time, EINSTEIN's secretary had planned to go on a three
or four week vacation and had been instructed to notify
the Soviet courier in advance of the date of her departure
so that arrangements could be made to intercept the
Comintern cables before they were given to EINSTEIN,
The private secretary left on her vacation without informs
ing the courier, and no attempt was made by the courier
to contact EINSTEIN personally, and he awaited the return
of the private secretary in order to receive the cable
messages. When she returned from.her vacation, all the
cables were turned over to her by EINSTEIN and nothing

She stated that during the period 1929 to 1933,
Dr, EINSTEIN was extremely active in his work in Berlin,
and that he enjoyed good health and his social demands
were very heavy, that he handled practically all of his
correspondence from his home, and was assisted to some
extent by his wife and oldest step-daughter. At the

eineere in her anewere. She did not appear to he evaeive
in any manner, but epoke quite freely and admitted that due
to the peeeage or yearn, her_nind wee not too eiear ea to

of her anawere and the interview wae oonduoted in a dieorete
and eireumepeet manner ae euggeeted by the Bureau. The
main premiee for the interview wee given to DUKA8 ae an ;'
opportunity for her to aeeiet in developing information
eonoerning eetieitiee in Berlin, Germany, during the L
period 1928 to 1933. At no time did ehe give any hint or *
indication that ehe wae aware the investigation ooneerned X
her in any way, and at the eonelueion of the interview, 92
ehe expreeeed no antagonien toward the interviewing agente
