: Levine said the British found a retired army officer nam Seaptate .
: John King working in the code room, and that surveillance proved him to be
a Communist agent, Following Levine's testimony in the summer of 1956,
the British Government confirmed that King had been discovered and sentenced '

to ten years in prison in September 1939.
But finding the other man was more difficult, Lord Lothian called
Levine back to Washington and asked him to arrange for General Kriviteky
to go to London to assist,
Krivitsky went, but was unable to identify the man from meager
tiong he had, Later Krivitsky returned to America and on Feb. 10,
1941, was found shot to death in a Washington hotel.
When the Burgess-MacLean case broke in 195!, Levine said he took
a great interest in it because MacLean fitted the description Krivitsky had
given.
"first, that he was a Scotaman, ard Donald MacLean belongs to a
Scottish family. Second, that he played around in the artistic world.
(MacLean) met his wife, Melinda, on the left bank and in a cafe," Levine

seid.
Levine said another significant fact was that "MacLean had decided
late in 1933 to go to Russia, and then, as I learned subsequently, gave up his
Cecision, and two years later appeared in the Foreign Service, Naturally it
"made me think that a lot of manipulation went on during these two yeare to ~
convince him that his duty as a revolutionist was not to go to Russia, where
