ea yt ye, eta erage f . ( The Sov Trade: “} BYLLOYD SHEARER, INTO. “Kim"_ Philby, 56, Ss. arold a “master double agent who spied for the Soviets while he worked as an intelligence chicf for the British, has penned in Moscow, between his seduc- word manuscript of memoirs. eee ee ee i BEBI and the CIA, because Philby worked closely with both organizations for years. } In 1949 he was temporary first secretary 1 at the British Embassy in Washington, assigned the vital job of security liaison with the Americans. Consistently he | duped the best mirds in our intelli- gence agencies. He helped Guy Burgess, an old Cam- bridge classmate and a raging home- sexual who worked as a second secretary in the British Embassy and who lived with him, pass top secret information to the Reds. He also joined with another Cambridge chum and bisexual, Donald MacLean,head of the American Depart- — ment of the British Foreign Office, in | tipping off the Savicts about Anglo- American counter-espionage plans. Philby was not only “The Third Man” who warned Burgess and MacLean that the jig was up and that they had best escape to Moscow, but in his trusted post at the embassy, he caused untold harm to our agents. ; He admits, for example, that he was responsible for one of America’s warst defeats in the cold war against Russia. In 1951, he claims, he sabotaged the CIA plan to start a revolt in Albania, which Alien Dulles hoped would start a chain reaction of rebellions i in other "Commmd- ist count ies Philby says Dulles called him ines “yn expert on operations against the ‘+ Soviet Union,” explained that he plahi to drop several hundred gucryils | Albania... “to stir up trouble we a em rel a Amen ie Aen wy OOCTAEISE trder ii tions and ‘benders, an untitled, 80,000- , If published, these espionage revela- | tions.might well prove damaging to the « ) ieaatg SEERA ies Philby helped pian the operation, then ad «aff tha prompuy lipped om Petia CBntmnthritts who, he says, captured 150 of our men as soon as they landed. Philby also claims that he handed over to the CIA, control of NTS (Union of Russian Solidarists), a Russian emigre movement whose members smuggle anti- Communist propaganda into the Sovict Union. Philby first began to work for the Soviets in 1934 when he was graduated from Cambridge. But it was not until July 1962, when a Russian agent named Anatoli Doinytsin defected to the CIA, that we finally learned the truth about him. The CIA notified the British, but they moved too slowly, and Philby es- caped to Moscow where his co-conspira- _tor, Burgess, died, and left him $5600. Philby, four times married—his latest is Chicago-bo -born Melinda MacLean, whom he stole from her ex-husband Donald MacLean in Moscow last year-—is pre- pared to withdraw his manuscript from imminent publication. He is willing to save British and U.S. intelligence serv- ices further embarrassment if only the Briss will release two Soviet spies, Mr. Ars.
