Lawrence Duggan, one of the individuals who accompanied Wallace on this trip, was formerly chief of the Latin American Division of the United States State Department. Whittaker Chambers, a former member of the Soviet Secret Intel- ligence Service (NKVD), who was connected with the Commnist Government underground in Washington, D. C., stated that Duggan, although not a party member, was believed to be connected with the HKVD. He stated that Hedda Gumperz, an Austrian Communist alien and her Imsband, Paul Massing, who were both members of the Russian terror apparatus of the OGPU, as the NKVD was termed prior to 1934, were direct contacts of Duggan. Duggan was on the mailing list of the United American-Spanish Aid Committee and his name and address were found in the possession of Joris Ivens, an active Commnist Party member from Berlin, Holland, and Moscow, who is a suspected member of the Soviet Secret Intelligence Service (NKVD).
