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-

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. Peter Kroger who are really
Morzis and Lona Cohen of the Bronx,
