investigated by the Bureau in connection with the Gregory cage investigation
and is also the subject of a pending Security Matter-C case, New Haven Office
of Origin, Bufile 100-361170. Elizabeth Terrill Bentley, informant in the
Gregory case, named an individual known to her as "Charliet as a contact of
Jacob Golose She stated that some time in 1942 Golos began to give her verbal
instructions for Silvermaster and his group relative to the nature of the
information desired and still later, probably in the latter part of 1942, he
began to give her typewritten instructions in Russian furnished to him by
"Charlie" which were to be taken by her to Silvermaster. Dr. Weinstein was
not identified by Miss Fentley as the individual known to her as "Charlie"
but many of the characteristics of "Charlie" as named by her closely
parallel those of Dr. Weinstein.
