(COMINTERN) and other Soviet apparate were very active in 2g gathering intelligence information in the Far East, Many = } international Commnist functionaries were stationed in Shenghai 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-1, 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 Moscow(@y) 4_ oe EINSTEIN's Berlin office allegedly employed at least two female secretaries, both of whom were Communist sympathizers, 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 EINSTEIN's 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 communications, The person in EINSTEIN's office through whom arrangements were made for the use of the cable address, was EINSTEIN's chief secretary at the time, However, T-1 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 was allegedly closely associated with the intgrnat ional mo ot eee Po en ee ee an at apparate functionary of Soviet Russia, \X) a The informant described t peration of the El intelligence LLn as follows: al iar Op tn sofospei ~2e | op-derelove 2// ex ee ee OE co a ee anal enal
