Tuesday, March 7, 19S0 FBI Informant Finds Leave Communists Washington, Mar. 7 (U.R) If you ask Matthew Cvetic, he'll tell you it's harder to get out of the communist party than it is to get in. He knows. He's done both. Cvetic, 41, a pleasant, blue eyed American-born Slav, posed as a communist for seven years to get information for the FBI. When he broke with the party recently, he tried to get a Job. "Nobody would hire me," he said. "They didn't believe my story." Cvetic recently exposed com munist activity in the rich indus trial centers of western Pennsyl vania and gave the names of 146 party members to the house committee on un-American ac tivities. Aiding with Records Now he is helping government agents classify 80 pounds of communist records he managed to get away with when he left the party. He estimated the docu ments will reveal the names of at least 200 additional commu nists in the Pittsburgh area. Looking back on seven years of close association with the reds. Cvetic said it amazes him that he never once was suspected of being an FBI informant. "For five years I lived at the William Penn hotel in Pittsburgh under the name of 'Bob Stanton,' scarcely two blocks away from communist headquarters," he chuckled. "Hotel e m p 1 oyees thought I was a novelist and used to ask me how my book was com ing along."

Cvetic's blue eyes clouded as he recounted the sacrifices he made to "play my role without detection." "My friends deserted me. I was forced to give up my church. My father refused to let me come into his home. My mother died last October still thinking I was a communist. "I once asked my twin sons what they wanted to be when they grew up and they told me they wanted to be a bum like me." One son is now attending Du quesne university the other is in the navy. America Need Not Fear Cvetic said he was convinced by his seven years as a commu nist that America need not fear "the magnitude of the party." "In all that time," he said, "we were able to get only 550 to Join the party." He said the "real danger lies in the fact that the fanatic few worm their way into respectable American organizations, govern ment departments and labor un ions to let Moscow know every thing that's going on in this country. "I am convinced that Soviet espionage has no equal in the world today." Court Records Justice Court David B. Brnbbin, failure to stop for school bus, fine $1 and costs. Leslie W.
