Among the individuals whose portraits he painted were the Duke of Edin- burgh, Princess Margaret, and her husband, the Earl of Snowden. Dr. Ward's modus operandi was to pick up young giris between the ages of 16 and 17 (be found them in cheap night clubs iz the London eres) and induce them to come and stay with bim in his house in London, He seduced many of these girls himself and, after they were thoroughly indoctrinated, he pro- cured them for many Influential persona. He catered to tre perverted tastes of his friends, which included whipping and other sadistic performances, Kept a collection of porno- graphic photographs and utilized hidden mirrors, tepe recordera and special canieraa, Dr, Ward made his first contact with E.GB. agent Cept.

Ivanov had glso acted as a “go-between"™ for the Castro Government ard the Western powers during the Cuban crisis during this period. One of tie essignments Dr. Ward racetved from his case officer, Ivanov, was to outain atomic secreis, If possfmle, through War Min- ister John Profumo and other officials of the British Govertument. Mr. Profumoc was Secre- tary of State aiid Wer from July 1960 until he resigned in Juve 1963.

After meeting her, Dr. Ward took har to his house to live with him, and intro- duced her to some of his friends for sex Uurposes. Ohristine was the female used to com- promise Profumo, a meeting having been maneuvered while she was staying at the cottage on Lord Astor's estate. There was a ewimming party and Mir. Frofumo waa ore of Lord Astor's guests, It was arranged for Christine to slip off her bathirg sult just ag Mr. Profum> approached the pool, thereby attracting hia attention, Nature having taken tts course, Dr. Ward arranged fer the infor- mation that Mr. Profumo was having a sex affair with Christine Keeler to leak out. Profumo denied the rumom im Parliament but Dr. Ward was able to present proof of the sox affair to the British Security Service. Hay- ing lied publicly, Profumo was forced to resign from his post.

Lord Astor died of a heart attack in the Bahamas 1n 1966.. Ous of Dr. Ward's girls, Susie Chang, ex- tended operations into the United States and compromised President John F. Kennedy when he made a trip to England. The thinly vetled story of IFR'y involvement appeared in ab article printed in one edition of the N.F. Journal American of June 26, 1963. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy immediately ¢e- manded that the story be kilicd and re- portedly threatened an anti-trust sult against the Hearst Corporation, owners of the nowspaper. . The authoritative British Intelligence Digest (Religious News Edition) took note. of Kennedy's affair with Susie Chang and others in its July 19, 1963 issuc, stating: “President Kennedy's private domestic life iz not one of marital bliss. In fact, it is seid, he j3 Interested in women other than his wife end this Is feaked all over the world... . This 1a bad and hurtful to America. Indeed, there Was even # cartoon published In England dur- ing his recent visit showing Miss Keeler tied Tp With a dog-chain untit the President and hia entourage should ‘eave, It fs time that this was sald... .” Suzie Chang was aleo involved in compromi- ising VIPS in the Harry Allen Towers group in New York in '961. Towers, a British tele- vision producer, was arrested in New York City allegedly as a procurer for Maria No-~ yotny, whose uncle was then president of Czechoslovakia. Miss Novotay, a K.G.5, agent on assignment with Towers, had been com- promising high officials and diplomats from the United Nations, After thelr arrest, Miss Novotny and Towers were conveniently al- Jowed to alip out of the country. Forfelting 410,000 bail, Towers fled to Czechoslovakia and then returned to England, as did Miss Novotny. On June 25, 1963 the N.Y. Tisnes reported that the U.S. Attormey’s Office had reopened the case of Towers and Novotny in connection with espionage but apparentiy nothing furs ther developed. At the time of the Towers-. Novotny arrest it was learned thal there were other individusis reportedly involved ia the compromising operation. One wes Evelyn David, a 82-year-old “journalist,” who ar-. ranged dates for call girls, working out of the UN. tounge. Also mentioned were Delia Meriuo-Baertet, also known as Yronne Landot, a young Peruvian girl who worked at the U.N.. as a translation secretary, end Nona Pata, a blonde Hungarian model who was ilving 440 East 46th Street in New York. 7 E.G.B. compromising operations around the world are almed at persons of influence or potential influence. Some they destroy, oth- ets they control. There wus the case of Mau- rice Ernest Napoleon DeJean who wes a close friend of the late President DeGaulle in Prance. When he was the French Ambassador te Moscow he became involved with 2 Misa Kronsberg whose apartment on Ananeveky Lane was actusliy a K.G.B. flat.

He became President of the Communist-front, the Pran- eo-Sovlet Soclet’ for Industrial Cooperation. The inte President Sukerno of Indonesia ‘was compromised by K.G.3. agent Valentins Reschetnyk during « visit to Moscow. As & reeuit of the affair Sukarno fell in love with the girl, made her bis mistress and took her back te Indonesia with him. She was able to influence his decisions over a period of years and reported to the K.G.B. regulerly. Earlier in her career this same girl had compromised B DUEber of Americans, . Mrs. Vijayaiakshmi Pandit wia the In- dian Ambassador to Moscow from 1947 to 1949, Ambassador to the U.S. from 1949 ta 1951 and President of the U.N. General As- sembly in 1954.
