DIED. Igor Gouzenko, 63, cipher expert in the Soviet Union's Ottawa embassy whose defection in 1945 defused a major North American Soviet spy ring bent on extracting Western atomic bomb secrets; of a heart attack; in Mississauga, Ont. The information that Gouzenko brought with him exposed for the first time the extent of the Soviet intelligence web in the U.S. and Canada. Hypersensitive to personal danger, Gouzenko thereafter never appeared in public without disguising himself or covering his head with...
Canada has had Russian spy trouble before. The most notorious case was that of Igor Gouzenko in 1945, a Soviet code clerk who defected to the West. His confessions shattered a Russian spy ring. Among the Russians who fled Canada in advance of exposure were two men from Tass, the Soviet news agency...
...counter-intelligence agents all rolled into one. McClellan himself never served in the frozen Yukon; he spent his years tracking down moonshiners in Alberta, battling the violent hunger marches of the Depression '30s and ferreting out Communist spies in the '40s. When Russian Cipher Clerk Igor Gouzenko walked out of the Soviet embassy in 1945 ready to tell about the Red spy ring, McClellan was the man who took him into protective custody. The Mounties cracked the ring wide open; Gouzenko and his family still live "somewhere in Canada," still under Mountie protection...

He called fruitlessly at the Justice Minister's office, vainly told his story to the Ottawa Journal, was finally taken in tow by the Ottawa police only after embassy goons broke into his apartment. Last week, in a sadly wiser world, Dr. Mikhail Antonovich Klotchko, 59, a leading Soviet inorganic chemist, in Canada to attend the 18th International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Chemistry...
...ambitions for Cuba was made plain last week in its choice of an ambassador for Havana, Sergei Kudriavtsev. The name should be familiar. Kudriavtsev was, in the findings of a Canadian royal commission, the real head of the Canadian spy ring exposed by the defecting Russian cipher clerk Igor Gouzenko in 1945. The Russians then brazenly assigned him to the U.N. as adviser to the Soviet delegation in 1947, but the appointment stirred such bad publicity that he was recalled inside four months. Russia's man in Havana is obviously expected to head Soviet penetration of Latin America...
