“Sylvia” [Sil'vi] (cover name in Vassiliev’s notebooks): Soviet intelligence officer/agent. References to in 1940. Likely the wife of Arnold Deutsch. Vassiliev Black Notebook, 170. Symington, Stuart: Secretary of the Air Force, 1947–50. Vassiliev Yellow Notebook #4, 151. “Syn” (Russian original of a cover name in Vassiliev’s notebooks): See “Son”. SYN [SON] (cover name in Venona): Rudy Baker. Venona analysts did not identify SON as Baker because the two messages about SON provided few clues to his identify. The identification comes from Comintern records in Russia’s RGASPI archive. In that archive’s collection of coded correspondence between the Comintern and the CPUSA (RGASPI 495–184) are dozens of messages from “Brother” in Moscow with “Father” and “Son” in the United States. Annotations on these messages identify “Brother” as Georgi Dimitrov and “Father” as Earl Browder. The identification of “Son” as Rudy Baker comes in two ways. First, in these messages “Son” is the head of the CPUSA’s covert arm, which Baker had taken over in mid-1938. None of the Comintern messages to “Son” occur until after Baker had been to Moscow in January 1939 and briefed Comintern officials on his assumption of leadership over the CPUSA secret apparatus. Further, located in a second Comintern collection, that of Dimitrov himself, is another document. It is from General Fitin, head of the KGB’s foreign intelligence directorate, to Dimitrov. This May 1942 message states “We are forwarding a telegram we received from New York addressed to you from Rudy” the enclosed message is signed by “Son.” 171 Venona New York KGB 1944, 331, 474; Venona Special Studies, 70. Synarchists and Sinarquistas: Catholic political movement in Mexico. The “Sinarquista Manifesto” of 1937 had elements of the Catholic social thinking based on the papal encyclical Rerum Novarum of Pope Leo XIII, stressed social co-operation as opposed to the class conflict of socialism, and hierarchy and respect for authority as opposed to liberalism, and reflected as well elements of the authoritarian political Catholicism of the regimes of Engelbert Dollfuss in Austria, Antonio Salazar in Portugal, and Francisco Franco in Spain. In the context of Mexican politics, this meant opposition to the centralist, semi-socialist and harsh anti-clerical policies of the dominant Partido de la Revolución Mexicana – Party of the Mexican Revolution. Synarchists were denounced as clerical Fascists and accused of sympathy for Nazism by liberals and leftists. Venona analysts in a muddled footnote confused Synarchists with refugee Spanish Syndicalist and anarchists (anarcho-syndicalists) in Mexico. As Synarchists: Venona New York KGB 1943, 170. As Sinarquistas: Venona New York KGB 1944, 163–64; Venona Mexico City KGB, 110, 207–08

172. Identified by Elizabeth Bentley as part of the Silvermaster espionage group. Taylor sued the Washington Daily News in 1954 for libel for its coverage of Bentley’s statement that he was part of an espionage ring. Not wanting the expense of a trial, the newspaper settled the suit out of court and withdrew its statements about Taylor. Bentley was upset by the paper’s retreat, and she herself never retracted her description of Taylor. Taylor’s lawyers prepared a wide-ranging study that assailed Bentley as a liar and fraud and circulated it widely to the press. The FBI answered with a memo that replied point-by-point and supported Bentley’s credibility.
