Wye MILK: ING SsC, WASHINGTON FIELD OF. ICE ; April 19, 1949 - _ SAC, PHILADELPHIA JAHAM Re: Report of Special Agent JANES FREW, at Washington, ril 6, 1949. On page nine of this report it is noted that T-5 eould furnish no information concerning ROBERT HE. RAY. It is also noted that RENO named RAY WARNER as one of the persons who super- — vised his Communist Party activities in Washington, and that WARNER'S Party name was ROBERT BE, RAY. | It is the recollection of i Agent H. H. FINZEL, now assigned to this office, and who handled at Washington, during 1947--1948, that this informant mentioned an Individual named WARNER as a person active in the early formation of the group which subsequeatly became the UNITED FEDE°AL WORKERS OF AMERICA, and who attended meetings on Eleventh Street when WILLIAM ALLEN was organizing the Communists in Government service, 1935=-1938. It is possible that ene WARNER mentioned af might well be identical with RAY WARNER (ROBERT &. RAY). rce report does not indicate whethe was questioned as to knowledge of RAY WARNER but only concerning ROBERT RAY. If this has not already be e, therefore, it is requested tha be recontacted concern- ing fenowladze as to the present whereabouts of RAY WARWER. Reference report also indicated that SOPHIA MINKIN | may have come to Philadelphia around 1938, and may have married the editor of The Pilot (MMU). If the “ashington Field Office can further identify this editor, the Philadelphia Office will be in a position to locate for interview the former SOPHIA MINKIN as to the present whereabouts of ROBERT E. RAY (WARNER). , 65-2440 ce: New York b7D
