A review of the file fails to reflect any outstanding ��k��leads in thie case and the most logical remaining lead in .5] 5this latter ie to interview HELEE DUKA8a &#39;

It is believed that DUKAS should be interviewedfor the purpoee of ascertaining her present CF sympathiesand to ascertain if she was the Senior Secretary to EIESTEIIin Ber1in�during 1929-1931-

In regard to Dr. EIRSTEIR, s review of hie filereflects that one of the outstanding Ieade at thi time isto ascertain the whereabouts of hi: son EDHARB*Ei§ST£1K whowas last known to be residing in Switaerlands

Dr. EIISTEII was written auq=ut 5, 1¢F3 and that to date t ,only activity which has been noted for him has been his p tie-ipation in counseling witneeees not to testify before theF.rCongreeeional Committees. It is believed that further ini§ati3�ation in thie matter is not warranted after the completion ofpresent outstanding leads, and upon the o0mp1stiO&#39;�?I theseleads, the Iiewark Office will consider closing caseconcerning Dr. Ei�sriil,

that information was received from a e able source to vthe effect that prior to 1933 a Comunist Internationale + COMINTERN! and other Soviet apparate were very active in -gathering intelligence information in the Fer East. Hanginternational Gomunist functionaries were stationd in

Shanghai and Canton, China, for the purpose of gatheringintelligence information, One of the means of communica-tion used by these individuals to contact Central Head-quarters in Moscow was through the use of telegrams, Suchtelegrams, which were always coded, were never sentdirectly to Moscow, but were sent to agents in othercountries such as Egypt and France where they were re-copied and forwarded to telegram addresses or "drops"in Berlin, Germany. According to T-l, one of these telegramaddresses was the office of ALBERT EINSTEIN in Berlin, andthis address proved to be very successful inasmuch asEINSTEIN received a great quantity of mail, telegrams andcablegrams from all over the world. EINSTEIN&#39;s personalsecretary, whose identity was not known to T-1, gave thetelegrams to a Soviet Courier, whose duty it was to pickup such mail from several telegram "drops" and then channelthe mail to neseewfm�d

92�"EINSTEIN&#39;s Berlin office allegedly employed at

least two female secretaries, both of whom were Communistsympathigers, The exact period EINSTEIN&#39;s office was usedas an address for coded cables by Soviet Intelligence wasnot known. However, EINSTEIN&#39;s cable address was alreadyin action as of 1929. The reason for the use of EINBTEIN&#39;ecable address was due to the quantity of legal cable trafficwhich he received due to his established international

reputation, which in turn provided a relatively innocuouscover for illegal comunications. The person in EINSTEIN�:office through whom arrangements were made for the use ofthe cable address, was EINSTEIN�: chief secretary at thetime, However, T-l did not know the identity or backgroundof the secretary in question. This individual wasallegedly EINSTEIN&#39;s senior and private secretary, atleast during the period 1929 to 1931. This person wasallegedly closely associated with the ir�irnationalapparate funetionary of Soviet Russia. 92%,¢./�
