ADDITIONAL COVERNAMES AND RELATED INFORMATION IN DIPLOMATIC TRAFFIC (nnnlnnnnnnnn

1. Progress of covername research Several new covernames have been recovered in the nnnnnnnncode since the original report on this subject was made (issued as ID Special Analysis Report #1); and these, together with some additional identifications, are made available in this report and should be added to Report #1. a. Additional information is available about ROBERT (?), DORA, and AL' or EL', section 10 of Report #1, and PILOT (??), section 11 of Report #1. A two-part New York - Moscow message of 1 October 1944 (internal serial number 786, external number 1388 and 1389) has been exploited; the first part is still un- readable, but the second part yields the following information: The originator (MAI)has given AL' detailed (instructions?). AL' has promised to write a special (report ?), but for the time being he has communicated the following to MAI: (Spotty text involving ROBERT and AL' and the getting and giving of "material.") PILOT(?) (takes?) the working up of the material to ROBERT's wife (he himself is not married), who is not only in contact (?) with her husband's work but actively assits him in working it up. (The rest is not yet read- able, but the new name IZRA occurs in it.) On 23 October , in answer to MOSCOW's 4881, New York reports that DORA is ROBERT's wife. ROBERT and PILOT (?) are mentioned in con- junction in messages of 4 January 1945 and 17 January 1945. b. In section 11 of Report #1 (Relationships, etc.), the following additions should be made: KAPITAN (Captain): covername for Franklin Delano Roosevelt. KAB-?- or KAV-?-: covername for Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill.

Page 130: Venona Special Studies - Wilson Center · - 6 - cover-name Message number Date Publication reference S/ or 3/NBF/ AL'BERT 2A-0125 xxxA

- 130 -

These identifications were made possible by a New York - Moscow message of 5 September 1944 which says: "According to intelligence (?) from GOMER (HOMER), KAPITAN And KAB-?- (or KAV-?-) will meet about 9 September in Quebec for ... A detailed exposition (by) GOMER will follow." The subsequent discovery of a passage in a message of 1 June 1944 alluding to DUEVID NAILS (DAVID NILES), "adviser of ‘KAPITAN'," established which was Roosevelt and which was Churchill. The Niles referred to must be DAVID K. NILES, Administrative Assistant to the President. The form KAPITAN is based on a passage in a message of 28 July 1944 where this code refers to the captain of a tanker. The code group with the value RUZVEL'T (Roosevelt) has also been located (message of 15 June 1944). c. In section 15 of Report #1, the following addition should be made: GOMER (Homer): This group occurs in a message of 5 September 1944 which reports on the coming meeting between Roosevelt and Churchill in Quebec. He is mentioned as the source of this intelligence. d. In section 17 of Report #1 these revisions and additions should be made: ZEMLIAK (Fellow Countryman): coverword for male communist (U.S.?). ZEMLIACHKA (Fellow Countrywoman): coverword for female Communist (U.S.?). GOROZHANIN (urbanite, plural GOROZHANE: coverword for American (a national of the United States). The ZEMLIAK identification was made possible by a message of 15 June 1944 (the same message which con- tained RUZVEL'T), in which the votes received by the candidates of the ZEMLIAKI for president in 1932, 1936, and 1940 are given. These turned out to be the votes received by Foster and Browder in those years. 2. Examples of intelligence about agents and contacts This last section of the report consists of two messages which illustrate the type of intelligence being 2

recovered from thennnnfnmaterial. The first of these tells of the plans for two agents to contact each other. New York (VAVILOV)* - Moscow (NARKOMINDEL)* External date: 23 August 1944 External serial number: 1198* To Victor. You telegram No. 3758a. YUNb is leaving for Hollywood 20 September.

DA--(?)f: She is still in Helloran Hospital.c h Thereupon the meeting will be agreed on. If YUN does not succeed in getting a room in the indicated hotel, it will be necessary to ring him up at RKO Studios.c #666 (No. of this message) MAY * The consul signs all the messages purporting to originate from his office, and they are all numbered consecutively and addressed to his superiors. However, it is known that they are encrypted in various systems, and the evidence of the Report of the Royal Commission makes it probable that he does not know the contents of those he has not actually originated. By analogy, the Narkomindel may have read only those messages actually destined for it. a. No traffic originating in Moscow has yet been read except some addressed to Canberra. b. Confirmed value. There is another YUN message (12 August 1944), with very little recovered text. It does yield the sentence "YUN produces the impression of a politically (well) developed person." The name VARDO and the phrase "in Hollywood" also occur in this message. 3

Page 132: Venona Special Studies - Wilson Center · - 6 - cover-name Message number Date Publication reference S/ or 3/NBF/ AL'BERT 2A-0125 xxxA

- 132 -

It should be noticed that even in the message translated (666) YUN occurs with a noun ending (YUNU, cative); hence it is not evident the YUN is identical with YUNOY (Young) of the covernames message 798 (Report #1, Supplement), wherein the name was changed to something beginning with KU. c. Spelled in Latin letters and repeated. d. Dubious identification. The group falls two places before a group known to stand for the plural of the word for "sign", meaning "distinctive marks" or "description". e. There is a possibility that the word immediately following the "1" is "October". f. Presumably a covername, in the range of , say, DANTON, and, indeed, if the book admits the word KARFAGEN (Carthage), an otherwise almost useless word, for use as a covername, it might well admit even so fantastic a name as DANTON.. But on the other hand, the expression may be something like DANTON CHELOVEK, "the given person." g. Apparently in the text in spite of the suspicious grammar. h. The text has NOSPITAL, which is a psychological error. The second example is a report on a Max Elitcher, who was listed in the Washington Telephone directory in 1944 and is still listed: New York (VAVILOV) - Moscow (NARKOMINDEL) External date: 26 July 1944 External serial number: 1053 To Victor.

Please – kE. and communicate (?)l him officially. #594 (No. of this message) MAY 26 July a. The ENKO is definitely good; ANT appears to be correct. ANTENKO had his covername changed to LIB (?) or LIBERAL (?) in message #700. (See supplement to Report #1)..As noted in Report #1, section 15, LIB (?) (ANTENKO) according to a message of 27 November 1944, had a wife named ETHEL who was 29 years old and had been married for five years.

b. “Work” may have its usual force, but it is evident from other messages that it may mean “work in the interests of the U.S.S.R. or some agency of it.” c. Carthage is Washington. d. Spelled in Latin letters and repeated. The only dubious part is the final ER, the group for which has so far occurred only here. e. Dubious identification. f. Russian word ends in NIK. g. Here and below in Cyrillic letters, transliterated MAKS YE. (YE is the sound of the letter shaped “D”, which was evidently used as a mechanical transliteration of Latin E.) h. Tentative reading which may be verified later. i. Now known to mean (U.S.?) Communist. See section ld above. j. Dubious identification, based on proportionating calculations on a related captured code. 5

k. “Please --” is one group. l. “Communicate” does not seem to give sense. The group is possibly mis-identified or else the group identified as “officially” is really “official acceptance” or some other noun or noun phrase. (The same word, YEVO, means “him” or “his”.) 6

12 August 1948 11 REVISED TRANSLATION OF MESSAGE ON ANTENNA-LIBERAL'S WIFE ETHEL 1. Occasion of the report. In a report of about 27 April 1948 ("The Covernames 'ANTENNA' and 'LIBERAL' innkknnnnnnnMessages"), section 8, a translation was given of New York-Moscow message 1657 of 27 November 1944. Further work on this message has so improved the text that a revised translation is in order. 2. Translation. To VICTOR [VÍKTOR]. Your telgram no. 5356. Intelligence on LIBERÁL's wife. Surname that of her husband, Christian name ETHEL 29 years old. Married 5 years. Finished middle school. A fellow countrymana in 1938. Sufficiently well-developed politically. She knows about her husband' work and the role of METR [METRO?] and NIL [Nile? Neal?]. In view of (her) delicate health does not work. A person --1G-- the way things lie and devoted.b

a Member of the Communist Party of the U.S.A. b Possibly "A person understanding the way things lie and devoted." Russian: --1G-- POLOZHENIE DEL I PREDANNUIM CHELOVEKOM. c The syntactical connection of "Engineer" etc. is not clear, nor does it seem that "all", if correct, is the direct object of "communicate".

d Presumably MOSKOVSKOY AVIATSIONNOY INSTITUT (Moscow Aviation Institute).

3. Comment. It will be observed that the internal message numbers are now two, 922 and 923. Of course, MAI, ARSENIUS, and the rest will now be seen to have no necessary connection with LIBERAL's wife. It should be noticed that the noun "work" (RABÓTA) has a special meaning in message 922, and probably the verb (RABÓTAT') sometimes has a corresponding implication, that is, '(conspiratorial) work in the interests of the U.S.S.R.' If "work" is so inter- preted in message 923, further light may be thrown on the meaning of ZAVÓD (plant, works). ARSENIUS's plant might be ARSENIUS's net. (However, MAZŬRIN is an engineer and might work at a real plant. Then, if ARSENIUS is an agent, this might be "the plant that ARSENIUS spies on".) In the same way, the work that ETHEL cannot do in view of her delicate health may not be the earning of her bread and butter, but conspiratorial work.

THE COVERNAMES "ANTENNA" AND "LIBERAL" IN nnnnnnnn MESSAGES 1. In the recent report on the covername "ENORMOZ" etc., New York - Moscow messages of 1944 innlnnnnnnn were quoted in which an individual called LIBERAL was depicted as acting as an intermediary between a person or persons that has worked on ENORMOZ and the originators of the messages. In message 1340 [752] of 21 [20] September, signed by MAY, the ENORMOZ man seems to be named CHESTER, although there is also mention of a VOLOK (?) working at the ENORMOZ plant. In message 1773 [967] of 16 [15] December, signed by ANTON (?), the ENORMOZ man is called something like KALIBR. (KALIBR might, of course, be a covername later assigned to CHESTER -- or VOLOK.) 2. Recent work on messages involving LIBERAL, stimulated by the results of the work on the ENORMOZ messages, has re- sulted in new readings of possible intelligence value. So much can now be known about LIBERAL and his wife and friends that it would seem possible to identify him. Translations of the messages involved, excluding the ENORMOZ ones, follow with explanatory comment. 3. In the interesting message 700 on changes in cover- names (New York - Moscow 1252 [700] of 2 September 1944), translated in the first report of this series, LIBERAL's earlier covername is given. In our previous translations, this was given by ANTENKO. It now appears that the true form is ANTENNA. From what we know of ANTENNA's activities, it seems reasonable to suppose that the name ANTENNA was suggested by his knowledge of radio. 4.

The name Fort Mammoth (FORT MAMMOT) obviously stands For Fort Monmouth. It is not obvious whether this is a cover- naming or error -- probably the latter. The word rendered "the Fellow Countrymanly", ZEMLIACHESKAYA, is here discovered for the first time. It is represented by a single code group (plus adjectival ending). It/is a feminine adjective, probably agreeing with the sub- stantive PARTIYA (party). In this it is like the coverword for the Australian Communist Party in Canberra messages, BRATSKAYA (the Brotherly, the Fraternal). The form ZEMLIA- CHESKAYA is not directly attested, but is rendered most likely by the fact that it must begin with ZEMLIACH... and must be capable of taking the accusative singular ending UYU. ZEMLIACHESKOY is defined in Ushakov's Tolkovoy Slovar' Russkovo Yazuika as the adjective to ZEMLIACHESTVO, which is designated "historical" and defined as an organization uniting (university) students from the same region with the aim of mutual help of a material and cultural nature. Here, however, it serves simply as the adjective to the coverwords for male and female U.S. Communists, ZEMLIAK and ZEMLIACHKA.* The inclusion of a "historical" term in the code book strongly indicates that the choice of the coverword preceded the issuance of the book. A similar consideration holds for the value KARFAGEN (Carthage), the covername for Washington, D.C. 5. New York-Moscow Message 976 [550 and -?- of 11 July 1944: To VIKTOR. Your telegram no. 26**.

a. The group identified as Latin THE has occurred only here, and the identification may, of course, be wrong. The word MAI is puzzling. If connected with the name of the month, MAY (also a covername), it would be the plural 4

(sense?). In the original it is repeated, a treatment most often given to names in this traffic. Possibly it is the genitive of a covername MAYA (Maia the consort of Vulcan, or Maia the mother of Hermes?). This message is followed by 1773 [967] of 16 [15] December 1944 (ENORMOZ). 9. Note on the word "sketch". In the report on the covername ENORMOZ, section 4, LIBERAL is to inquire of CHESTER about "sketches" from the milieu of persons working on ENORMOZ and other domains of technical science. This is the same word (NABROSOK) that occurs in section 4 of the present report in the meaning 'short characterization' or 'short biography'. This may be the meaning of the word in the former report, too, rather than 'drafts' or the like. 5

MESSAGES IN nnnlnnnnn INVOLVING THE COVERNAME "ENORMOZ" AND THE NAMES OF NUCLEAR PHYSICISTS, ETC.

1. For some time the covername "ENORMOZ" (which is not a word found in Russian dictionaries, but is obviously based on the English enormous) has been known to occur in one or two New York - Moscow messages of 1944 in the system nnnnnnnn but previously the context has not been readable enough to limit the possible reference of the name. Recently enough context has been recovered to suggest a possible link between ENORMOZ and war-time nuclear fission research. The point of connection is message 1773 of 16 December 1944, in which first a man definitely connected with ENORMOZ is being talked about and then, after a gap of ten group, there is talk of OPPENHEIM and KISTIAKOWSKI. The gap may conceal some indica- tion of a change of subject; but the possibility that ENORMOZ is connected with the work of Oppenheim and Kistiakowski is too strong to be dismissed without comment. 2. It will be sufficient, for the rest, to give a trans- lation of four messages. These are still full of gaps; and the nature of the problem is such that almost anything included in the translation may be in the future be radically revised. The message numbers and dates not enclosed in brackets are the external ones; those in brackets are the internal ones. Covernames are explained in brackets when the reference is known. 3.

Undated Report of Meredith Gardner

- 156 -

Copy of an undated report of Meredith Gardner

The early history of compartmentalization of the nnnnnnnnLnnnnn problem can be summarized as a gradual tightening up. In the beginning no special treatment was given nnnnn. Achievements in it could become known to any worker in the nnn branch, working as a unit in a single area, with all systems in an xxxxxxx inseparable cryptographic relation to each other. Besides, achievements were reported to personnel and associates, both those who had a right to know of them and mere busybodies who perhaps considered themselves consultants at large for all nnn.

The fact that the G-2 liaison man Howard Barkey heard that there was something interesting going on in nMnnn without having been officially informed shows that this sort of knowledge might have been picked up almost anywhere in the nKn On the other hand, Gardner realized from near the beginning that the contents of nnnnn text would be so sensational that it would be hard to control talk about them, and Dr. Dubberstein directed that unusual discretion be exercised. BARKEY’s interest was recognized as proper, though thought (perhaps incorectly) to be premature and disruptive of the technical work; he took some material to Col. Carter Clarke. From here on, in general, each tightening up followed upon disclosures or leaks that were proper or inevitable enough at the stage of compartmenta- tion in effect when they occurred. It is, unfortunately, all but impossible to recover the names of all persons who in the course of normal procedure were given some kind of insight into the nature of nnnnn texts. Collateral intelligence had to be secured, and thus such persons as John J. Larkin (later formally indoctrinated), Major Pratt (of G-2) who found invaluable documents, and a man doing liaison with ASA and the Department of State (name not remembered) got a clue to the material. The Navy at one point would have been the regular recipient of reports on all nnnJn progress, and thus, for example, a Navy officer named Carl looked the work over and even took notes back on one or two texts. ASA had no control over such information once it was imparted; no understanding was reached until September 1948. On 30 August 1947 WDGAS-93 issued what was called “I.D. Special ANALYSIS Report #1: Covernames in Diplomatic Traffic (nnnnnnn)” (dittoed with the following distribution. 2 copies ID 1 copy Chief, ASA 1 copy Chief, OP-20-2 1 copy ISIC (thru Col. Marr-Johnson) 1 copy WDGAS-93-B xxxxx XSXAX 1 copy OP-32-Y (thru OP-20-2) However, after the appearance of this report, it was decided on a high level that security could b e better served by not issuing dittoed reports, but rather by communicating interesting leads to Col. Hayes for transmittal to Col Forncy of others who could advantageously exploit them. Such leads were communicated from time to time over the following year, and collateral in return was routed through Col Hayes to Mr. Gardner. Some from the FBI came in as early as September 1947, and in May, July and August 1948. By this time it was amply plain that the FBI was the logical recipient of nnnnn material of the type until then chiefly exploited; hence direct liaison with that agency through Robert Joseph Lamphere was established on 19 October 1948 at a meeting between Col Hayes, Mr. Rowlett, Mr. Kirby and Mr. Gardner of ASA and Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Lamphere of the FBI. Just previously, on 6 October 1948, copies of eleven reports on Nnnnn (including the I.D. Special Analysis Report #1) had been handed to Commander Richard H. Tenney of the U. S. Navy (OP-32Y14). The handling of this material was to be governed by a memorandum of OP-32Y1 of 13 September

- 157 -

1948, listing the persons to whom the material was to be made available; to these two more names were added by memoranda of Op-322Y1 of 5 October 1948 and 14 February 1949. It was obvious that a considerable part of the nnnnn material would interest the CIA, and as has been seen, members of CIA had access to certain early reports from at least October 1948. No satisfactory way to channel later specific information to the proper place in CIA existed, however, until 1952, when with the help of Mr. Nnnnnnn, by new with CIA, direct liaison between Gardner and nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn of CIA was arranged for and the security of nnnnn material at CIA was taken care of. Complete lists of FBI and CIA personnel indoctrinated in nnnnn are not available at AFSA, nor is a list available of British subjects who are. It is known that the British surround the handling of nnnnn material with rigid safeguards. Individuals in these three categories who have come to AFSA on nnnnn business are given in our list.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE “G--“HOMER” [“GOMER”] CASE

Page 159: Venona Special Studies - Wilson Center · - 6 - cover-name Message number Date Publication reference S/ or 3/NBF/ AL'BERT 2A-0125 xxxA

- 159 -

11 October 1951 DEVELOPMENT OF THE “G--“HOMER” [“GOMER”] CASE 1. From the earlier days of nnnnnnnn code-value recovery (1947), it was known that several Washington to Moscow messages of 29-31 March 1945 began with the stereotype: To the 8th Section. Materials “G”. The Eighth Section was known to receive political intelligence, and the scanty recoveries from the interior of the messages confirmed that the contents concerned foreign policy and involved Sir Archibald Clark Kerr. In December 1948, further work by nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn revealed that the contents were telegrams from Churchill, and in January 1949 the originals were identified in London. It was thought that “G” was probably an arbitrary code designation. When names are abbreviated to their initials, in the traffic as far as it was then known the letter is fol- lowed by a period (inside the quotation marks, when there are quotation marks). Thus there was no reason to connect “G” with a person’s name or cover name. 2. Separately, in the New York to Moscow traffic, a short message of 5 September 1944 was partly worked out (probably in 1947 and 1948) reading:

#xx63__ To Victor [VIKTOR]. According to advice from Homer [GOMER], Captain and Boar [?] will meet about 9 September in Quebec to discuss questions connected [4 groups missing]. A detailed exposition of Homer’s resume is following. 70 [1 groups missing] Captain is Roosevelt and Boar [?] is Churchill. There was nothing in the message to suggest a connection with the Washington material of the following year.

#1271-1274 The resume mentioned was transmitted 7 September 1944, but the opening (which contained the name “Homer”) was not but before solved until much later (probably 1951). The resume con- 1 May ‘5x cerned chiefly occupation policies, mentioning both American and British plans.

#915 3. A New York to Moscow message of 28 June 1944 had been fragmentarily recovered. It revealed that Sergius [SERGEJ] (Vladimir Pravdin) had met a GOMMER (not GOMER x HOMER). the contents were totally unknown until recently and are now known only in fragments. It was impossible until actual identification has been made to be sure that GOMMER was the same as GOMER, as is now believed. 4. The link between material “G” and New York to Moscow messages was forged in the following manner: There is in the New York to Moscow traffic a six-part message of 2 and 3 #1105-1110 August 1944. The “matching” messages (the ones enciphered with the same two-time additive key) were all in the diffi- cult “Greex” (nnnnnnnnn code, and only the most trifling fragments have been recovered. In August 1950, Mrs. Gray of AFSA recovered two stretches which read “work including the personal telegraphic corres spondence of Boar [? Churchill] with Captain [Roosevelt]” and “weeks ago G. was entrusted with deciphering a confi- dential telegram of Boar’s [?] to Captain”. These recov- eries were communicated to the British 11 August 1950, who thereupon set up work-sheets for further recovery work. The suspicion that “G.” was the source of material “G” occurred to people at AFSA immediately upon seeing Mrs. Gray’s work, and this suspicion was suggested to the British at the same time. Subsequent work on this message brought forth the sug- gestion that G. was married. 5. On 30 March 1951. Nnnnnnnnn transmitted to England the suggestion that G. was Homer [GOMER] and GOMMER. (This suggestion may have been the by-product of the compilation by him of an index of cover names.) This identification, if true, allowed the placing of G. in New York in June 1944. 6. On 7 June 1951, the press reported the disappearance of Donald Duart MacLean and Guy Francis de Monoy Burgess. On 26 June 1951, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported to AFSA that Homer [GOMER], GOMMER, and “G” were believed to be identical with Donald Duart MacLean

x May 1948 7 THE KOMAR (KRAVCHENKO) AFFAIR IN nnnnnxnnMESSAGES 1. The messages translated below are submitted for their possible intelligence value. They were transmitted from New York to Moscow in the system nnnnnnnn during 1944. 2. It is evident from the contents that the deserter KOMAR was Viktor Andreyevich Kravchenko. The word KOMAR may be translated Gnat. 3. New York-Moscow message 613 [first part of 327] of 3 May 1944: To (?PETROV?). Your telegram no. 195. 1. 1. Our --1U--, as a result of (?your?) "interrogation"a, visited Carthage [Washington], met the well-known Fascist (known to you) ST--?--PENKOV (is working now at --2F-- (?book?) "DOK"), who when he had drunk quite a bit, let on that he had a connection with the desertion of KOMAR, with whom he had gotten together four times, had gotten him drunk and had carried on "cordial conversations." KOMAR acted, as it were, from considera- tions "based on ideas"b, "sufficiently --4FU-- 20 years". At the same time, ST--?--PENKOV acknowledged that a no less powerful motive was the desire for an easy, comfort-affording life and did not deny that this was just what produced on KOMAR an irresisti- ble impression. S. helped KOMAR come into contact with urbanites [citizens of the U.S.]. --1G-- [at this time? for security?] he met him in a club for military personnel located in the same building as the "Associated Press," conducted K. to the doors of that agency, which at once got in touch with SHAPLIN. Thereafter SHAPLIN took the affair of K. into his own hands and K. went to Tyre [New York]. By what ST--?--PENKOV said, SHAPLIN knows K.'s whereabouts and continues to maintain contact with the latter. K. at present does not doubt that "they will liquidate" him. Constantly --1F-- (?to inflate the importance of?) --2F-- and in that way obtain (?the possibility of?) --3FU-- (?to lead?) a quiet and comfort-affording life.

9. New York-Moscow message 1144 [second (and final) part of 634] of 10 August 1044 is so incompletely readable that it would serve little purpose at present to attempt a translation. At any rate, the occurrence of the name KOMAR near the end of it seems to have little bearing on the main subject. It is probable that the message deals with political intrigue in Mexico and mentions one or more parties by covername. A member of the staff of the polecats (KhOR'KI = Trotskyites?) of the U.S., Cochran(e), would seem to be "using" (the desertion of?) KOMAR (for anti-Stalinist propaganda?). 10. New York-Moscow message 1145 of 10 August 1948: To VIKTOR.

REVISED TRANSLATION OF TWO nnnnnnnn MESSAGES ON CHANGES IN COVERNAMES 1. Nature of the report. The present report presents a revised translation of the two nnnnnnnn messages, New York- Moscow 1251 [internal number 700] of 2 September 1944 and 1403 [798] of 5 October 1944. These messages have previously been presented in the supplement of the first of these reports. 2. Reliability of the form assigned to the names. The form that had been assigned to the various covernames is some- times completely confirmed and sometimes subject to various degrees of uncertainty. a. The most favorable case is that in which the name is spelled with elements occurring elsewhere (other than in covernames) as part of an intelligible context, or is represented by a single code group so occurring. Examples: AI-DA, LI. b. Less favorable, but still fairly reliable, is the case in which the name is spelled with two or more elements, some of which do not occur elsewhere. Since the code is one- part, there are thus several individual clues to the spelling of the word. Examples: KLE-MEN-S, TIU-L'-PAN. But sometimes one element cannot be identified, even though all the others are known. Example: DO--?--SEN-D. Here sometimes a garble is to blame. c. Least favorable is the case in which the name is represented by only one group not occurring except as a covername. Although the code book is one-part, the limitation is usually not sufficient to make identification certain. If the name is repeated to enable the decoder to degarble, one may have two competing groups, neither of which can be given the preference--a garble having actually occurred. Example: BL--?-- (or BO) of GE. In this third case, the translator can either replace the uncertain part by a question mark (--?--) or suggest a form that experience with the code book and the traffic involved (and with related code books) render likely or possible. In a few cases, such suggestions are given with only one question mark in the translation below; more often two question marks are used to emphasize the speculative nature of the form.

Page 173: Venona Special Studies - Wilson Center · - 6 - cover-name Message number Date Publication reference S/ or 3/NBF/ AL'BERT 2A-0125 xxxA

- 173 -

Sometimes the omission of question marks can be justified, because analogies guarantee the form adopted. Thus, the covername KARFAGEN (Carthage) for Washington, D.C., although it normally would not be inserted into any code book, must be in the nnnnnnnhnbook, for its code group is in the right position for KARFAGEN, while New York is certainly TIR (Tyre) and London SIDON. But analogy generally fails. Covernames may be perfectly ordinary names, either Christian names or surnames (from any language), they may sound like ordinary nicknames (Kid, Captain), they may have a conspiratorial air (Signal, ?Mist?), they may be trivial common nouns, stilted flower names or animal names, historical terms (GONETS 'express messenger'), literary allusions (SHPONKA; see below), and and so on into the most far-fetched and fantastic realms. Finally, they may be syllables of no particular meaning, any "interpretation" of which might mean taking them too seriously (MAR, ELL, ?GE?). To take one example, a name falling alphabetically between AMI and AN might be AMUR 'Amour' or 'Cupid' (such a group might have been included primarily in reference to the Amur river), but it might equally well be AMPHIBIYA 'amphibian', which occurs in some codes, or indeed just AMO or AMP. A word may be added about Russian-'type' surnames. In both the messages below, a name for which the form RUIBOLOV (or Rybolov) has been suggested occurs. The translator failed To find such a name in available lists of surnames. But Russian-sounding surnames are easy to invent, and it may be that the MGB does invent them, following the practice of Russian novelists, who have long steered clear of the libel laws by such invention. For example, Tolstoy got the name of Prince BOLKONSKOY in War and Peace by a slight alteration of the name of Prince Volonsky. 3. Procedure. The names will be given in Russian first, in capital letters, and the "translation" will follow in brackets, with only the initial capitalized. Question marks are used only with the Russian to indicate doubtful identi- fication; with the "translation" they indicate doubtful meaning. When the translation would have the same form as the Russian, it is omitted; with some names no "trans- lation" can be advanced. In both messages, the older covername precedes the dash. 2

THE COVERNAME "KARAS" IN NNNNNNNN TRAFFIC 1. Purpose of the report. It seems desirable to report as the occasion may arise on newly determined covernames, and to translate the messages in which they occur. The present report deals with two messages involving the covername KARAS'. These are of interest, because they illustrate arrangements for a rendezvous made with parties in two different countries. 2. The name. KARAS' means Crucian (Carp) or Prussian Carp (Carassius Vulgaris, syn. carassius). Compare the cover- name OKUN' (Perch) in New York-Moscow 823 of 7 June 1944 (not reported on). It is true that a Yugoslav name KARAS (not KARASJ!) is on file at CSGAS-95 -- no connection with our man being probable -- but in the view of the technicians working on the problem, but the assumption that KARAS' is .here a covername is somewhat more probable than the supposition that it is a real surname. 3. The first message. New York-Moscow message 699 [378] of 17 May 1944: KARAS' [Crucian (Carp)] (?the elected?) president of the Union of Yugoslav (?Merchant Seamen?) in --1U-- will go to Sidon [London] where he will enter --2F--. --1F-- ...ing in Yugoslav(?ia?) --1F-- with which his --2F-- we --3F-- arrived on --1U--.

8 July 48 THE COVERNAMES "TÉNOR", "BAS", AND "CHETÁ" (?) IN nnnnnnnn TRAFFIC DEREVNIA 1. General. a. The covername Derevnia. Messages from New York ^ to Moscow encrypted by the systemn;nnnnnnn occasionally make reference to a place known as DERÉVNIA. This word (derived from DÉREVO 'tree; wood' and cognate with English TREE) means 'the country' (as opposed to town, Latin RUS), 'a country estate', or 'a village (without a church)'. In translations hereafter, to distinguish Country in the sense of Latin RUS (whence RURAL) from Country in the sense of Latin TERRA, REGIO (Russian STRANÁ, the covername for the United States), the word Countryside will be used for the former; hence, Countryside will refer to Mexico and Country to the U.S.A. It is known that DEREVNIA is Mexico because of a series of messages (not reported on) involving HENRI (Henry). Thus, on 26 May 1944 we read "HENRI during his stay in DERÉVNIA..." Then on 14 June there is a painstaking arrangement for rendezvous between HÉNRI and "our man" (not New York's man, who is HÉNRI, but presumably some MGB man or other) at the entrance of the movie house TERESA, AVENIDA

Keep these à JUAN DE LETRÁN; this was evidently the movie house of that name two accents at least. (Cine "Teresa")owned by Exhibidores Metropolitanos, S.A., at Avenida San Juan de Letrān 109 in Mexico, Federal District. Finally,

on 10 August 1944, we read, "HENRI has returned to Tyre [New York] from DEREVNIA" and "HÉNRI (?in?) DEREVNIA and --1F-- their organ 'LA VOZ'." ("LA Voz" is a Communist newspaper of Mexico, Fed. Dist.) On HÉNRI see further section 4.

2 first

The adjective DEREVÉNSKOY occurring in the message being reported ^ on (literally 'country ..., rural; village ...') must therefore amount to 'Mexican'. It will be here translated Rural. b. The covername CHETÁ (?). In order to extricate the text of the translation as much as possible from a tangle of parentheses and question marks, it may be well to dispose of the name CHETÁ in the preliminaries. CHETÁ means 'pair' or 'couple'. It is not certain that the name involved is CHETÁ, but it is certain that it begins with CHE followed by a consonant no earlier in the Russian alphabet than S, and ends in A. c. The real names. John Keating (Russian: DZHON KITING) is presumably John F. Keating, a lawyer of Manhattan Borough. v David Niles (Russian: D-EWID NAYLS, with the "hard" E) is identified as an adviser of "KAPITÁN" (Captain), who is known on other evidence to be Franklin D. Roosevelt.* Accordingly, he is David K. Niles, Administrative Assistant to the President. The question arises, why Roosevelt is mentioned by covername and Niles not. A survey of the traffic as a whole suggests that a covername like KAPITÁN serves a different purpose from covernames assigned to agents. The latter are presumably designed to protect the person of the agent directly; the KAPITÁN type and names like DERÉVNIA merely obscure the sense and thereby afford indirect protection to the agents and sources, or baffle foreign intelligence organs concerning just what intelligence is being transmitted. This protection often wears little thin. Thus, the State *See "I.D. Special Analysis Report #2. Additional Covernames and Related Information in Diplomatic Trafficnnkknnnnnn," 18 September 1947.

3 Department is covered by the name BANK, and quite likely the Secretary of State has a covername, too, but Robert Daniel Murphy has no covername. Hence we read in a message of 19 [18] October 1944: "MURPHY in telegrams to the BANK of 26 and 27 August --2F-- Rumanian king Michael concerning the presence in Rumania of troops of the Island [Great Britain] and the Country [U.S.A.] 'for moral support...'" etc. 2. The first message. New York-Moscow message 786 of 1 June 1944:

To VIKTOR [Victor]. In reply to your telegram no. 2066. Therea are three (?possibilities of getting?) (?a transit visa?) for CHETA: 1. The normal way--when "TENOR" will do [or "make"] everything himself. It will take --3F-- will --1U--. 2. Through the lawyer JOHN KEATING--somewhat quicker will cost 300-400 dollars. Both manners are lengthy because they will be connected with checking-up [or "verification"]. 3. Through "KAPITAN's" adviser DAVID NILES--will take 3-4 days --1F-- 500 dollars. Around NILES there is a group of his friends that arrange any business for a bribe. Through them TENOR gets --4F-- and has already paid them up to 6000 dollars. Whether NILES himself takes the bribe is not precisely known. T. (has) discussed with them (?payment?) --13F-- in/to the Countryside [DERÉVNIA = Mexico]. --9F-- Rural [= Mexican] visa and a ticket to the Countryside. T. declares that success in the last-mentioned way is 100-percent and there is no checking-up. I recommend the third method. Before we begin to act for CHETÁ it is indispensable to get a Rural visa and to communicate (?immediately?) for --!U--T. the amount of the deposit [or "bond"] paid in in the Countryside. Immediately upon receipt of the Rural visa and sanction to --2U-- T. will buy a through ticket from --9F-- (?protection of?) the covername Henry [GÉNRIH] --1U-- Rural visa. T. --1F-- meet CHETÁ in --3F-- later in the Countryside --20F--

4 3. The second message. New York-Moscow message 1509 (in part) [internal no. 851] of 23 October 1944. (The ostensible message 1509 is really a string of three short ones. The second one reads as follows:) (?Not received?) by us --7F-- (?arrangements?) of BAS

concerning CHETÁ's arrival --3F-- I am carrying to the point that I have gotten in touch --2U-- plant (henceforth "SI") --1F-- Ephraim [YEFRÉM], who personally (?presented?) --1F-- SI. 851 MAY 23 October

This message is in a very unsatisfactory shape, but it does show that almost five months after the previous message there was still talk of CHETÁ's arrival (PRIYÉZD, hence arrival by conveyance, presumably from abroad). OF course, this might be a different arrival, perhaps even back from Mexico. TENOR is not mentioned, but a certain BAS (meaning 'bass') is. It will be observed that TÉNOR and BAS are closely related in meaning, and it is not impossible that BAS is a new name for TÉNOR, though on the other hand, this relation, if significant, may simply mean that TÉNOR and BAS have similar positions in the ring. The code group identified as "BAS" does also occur in a message of 26 May 1944 that also mentions HENRI (see section 4 below), but it is not certain that it belongs there (error in decryption?) or, if it does, what it means there. The covername SI may be a spelling for the English name of the Latin letter C. It does not occur elsewhere.

5 The word translated "planet," ZAVÓD, is possibly a covername for some organization or agency. The covername YEFRÉM does not occur elsewhere. 4. The names GÉNRIH and HÉNRI. In the first message (section 2) r occurs the phrase "the covername GÉNRIH". The only other occurence of GÉNRIH is in the message on changes in covernames (798 of 5 October 1944, previously reported on), where TAM is changed to GÉNRIH. Since the message here being reported on is dated 1 June 1944, it is problematic whether the same naming is involved in each instance. It should be pointed out, however, that there is a covername HENRI. GÉNRIH is the form usually given bestowed on Russians when they are named "Henry"; HÉNRI (and also GÉNRI) are forms representing a foreign name. Now, HÉNRI went to Mexico and later returned to New York (see section 1a). The range of dates for occurrence of the covername HÉNRI is from 26 May to 10 August 1944. HÉNRI will be made the subject of a separate report.
