...Communist Nathaniel Weyl has accused Halperin of attending Communist meetings in 1936; and ex-Communist Courier Elizabeth Bentley has testified that Halperin, while in the OSS, passed secret documents to her to be sent on to Moscow.

This time Secretary of State John Foster Dulles politely declined, explaining that he thought the Canadians were "on solid ground" in their insistence on tight control of the interview. Then Gouzenko, who has turned uncommonly talkative after six years' silence, announced that he had decided not to be interviewed, lest he endanger his family. That seemed to settle the matter-unless Gouzenko...
