They had a woman designated by the cover came of "Ola" who was to travel from Washington, D.C. to New York City to establish contact with Lydia Zetrin, the mistress of David Dallin, both of whom were active in Russian Social Democratic circles and were assisting Kravchenko. We have not been successful in identifying "Ola" to date, although we have conduct an extensive investigation in this respect. It is also noted that "Ola" was acquainted with Leora Peabody Cunningham and the Soviets knew that she was employed by the Naval Communications. We have interviewed Cunningham, who is now married to a man by the name of Tsatsoulas, and she is still employed by Naval Communications. There is no definite information to the effect that she was ever used by the MGB. We slo have interviewed Alexei Stoopenkov who apparently was acquainted with both Cunningham and "Ola." Stoopenkov has furnished us certain information which hos assisted us in our investigation, but has not definitely enabled us to identify "Ola." Stoopenkov presently is a State Department employee, working as a guard attached to the American Embassy in Ottawa, Canada.''

Because of the lack of identifying information concerning him, we have not been successful in identifying him to date, although an active investigation is being carried out.''
