about diplomatic communications. Salmond ran the State Department’s communications office and had access to all DOS cables. It may the the case that Salmond, whose subsidy from Lore was more than his State Department salary, thought he was only selling information to an American journalist, not to a Soviet spy, and Lore feared that any meeting between a Soviet officer and Salmond would result in Salmond severing the relationship and, worse, going to State Department security. There is no indication that Salmond had any ideological sympathy for communism and the Soviet Union. The Vassiliev notebooks indicate that by 1938 the KGB realized that Lore was faking at least one source and pocketing the sources’ subsidy but that also Lore had become politically associated with American Trotskyists, then a deadly sin in Soviet eyes and in the context of the then ongoing purge of Soviet security services, deadly for anyone associated with him. Boris Bazarov, the chief of the illegal KGB station who had dealt with Lore, was recalled to Moscow and executed. The remaining KGB officers in the U.S. cut all ties with Lore, dismissing everything as faked. Additionally, even if the KGB officers in the U.S. had wanted to salvage the real “Will”/Salmond from the wreckage of Lore’s apparatus, they would also have feared that Salmond thought he was only selling information to an American journalist and would recoil at a direct Soviet approach. The safest course was to define all of Lore’s sources as faked and forget about it.
Interestingly, after the KGB cast Lore out, GRU, which clearly didn’t judge Lore to be a total faker, considered picking up some of the pieces. Whittaker Chambers GRU superior told him that Lore had been connected to a Soviet intelligence apparatus but “something stupid” had happened. He instructed Chambers to talk to Lore and see if he would hand over any of his former contacts. (Chambers was unclear about the date, but it appeared to have been in 1937.) Chambers met with Lore; the two got along well and reminisced about Russians with whom they had worked. But despite months of friendly conversations and promises, Lore never gave Chambers any contacts possibly because the GRU didn’t want to use Lore as a paid intermediary but wanted direct contact with his source or sources. Chambers, Witness, 389–92, 412–13.

In 1934 Dr. Wirt attended a Washington cocktail party at the home of Alice Barrows, an official of the U.S. Office of Education deeply involved in CPUSA activities. Wirt claimed that at the party a member of President Roosevelt’s “brain trust” (as the press named them) of influential advisors had told him that FDR was a manipulated front man for a Communist plan to take power and would be replaced with an American “Stalin”. A U.S. House committee chaired by Rep. Alfred Bulwinkle (D. NC) heard Wirt’s testimony. His charges faded when those he identified turned out to be obscure bureaucrats and left-wing journalists rather than prominent FDR advisors. Vassiliev Yellow Notebook #2, 1.
