Daughter of Former American Envoy Named as Soviet Spy
Retired counter spy Boris Morros testified in New York that Martha Dodd Stern and her husband Alfred Stern were Soviet spies. He alleged Moscow had 55 US front firms and claimed orders to plant spies in high offices and to obtain compromising information on Eisenhower and other leaders. He identified Sterns as prominent members of the ring, noting they fled to Mexico and likely went behind the Iron Curtain. The testimony was to the House Un-American Activities Committee with ongoing inquiries.
