——————————— 16. Testimony of Alice Barrows, 28 June 1953, U.S. Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, Interlocking Subversion in Government Departments [Hearings] (Washington: U.S. Govt. Print. Off., 1953), part 12, 830–40. Battet, R.M.J. French naval officer. Thought to be the name reference by the transliterated name Batte. Venona New York KGB 1943, 309. “Battle”: See “Boy”. “Batumi” (cover name in Venona): Soviet ship. Venona USA Naval GRU, 57, 63. Bauer, Joseph: Technical employee of Republic Aviation. Candidate for “Bugle” in Vassiliev’s notebooks and BUGLE in Venona. Bauer worked at Republic Aviation in New York at the time when “Bugle” was active. A September 1944 KGB Venona cable stated that KGB source STAMP/Smeltzer (employed at Bell Aircraft) and KGB officer ARSENY/Shevchenko had “visited a common aquaintance "B".” who was identified as working at Republic Aviation. “B.” provided “Arseny” with information on Republic Aviation’s work on the American version of the German V-1 ram jet missile. The message also relates that Julius Rosenberg provided information on the same project. FBI/NSA identified “B.” but redacted the name (as it did for STAMP as well), likely indicating that when confronted, “B.” had cooperated with FBI. In reports on the Rosenberg case, the FBI asked David Greenglass about his knowledge of Harold Smeltzer and Joseph Bauer and of possible Julius Rosenberg’s contact with them. This suggests that by that point the Venona message on STAMP and BUGLE had been broken, Smeltzer and Bauer identified, and FBI was checking with Gold to see if he knew of any Rosenberg contact with them because of the common link over the American V-1. 17 This suggests that Bauer is a strong candidate for the real name behind the initial “B.” and the cover names “Bugle” in Vassiliev’s notebooks and BUGLE [GORN] in Venona. As “B.”: Venona New York KGB 1944, 498–99. As “Bugle”: Vassiliev Black Notebook, 114, 119, 127, 135–36. As BUGLE [GORN]:
