Budens knew Franklin under the name of "Irving" and according to Budens' book, Franklin operated in Canada as an espionage agent for the Soviets. The have no information on this and Budans admitted he has no definite facts to substantiate his allegation in his book. We do know from Budens that Franklin's wife, in 1939, was Sylvia Collen, who was used by the Soviets in infiltrating the Trotskyite movement. Franklin is divorced from her at the present time.
