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."
Many Permits For
Construction Issued
The city building inspector's
office issue a group of construc
tion permits yesterday and this
morning with one issued to R. E.
Marsh for an $8,000 residence at
2418 Hillcrest road leading the
list.
D. F. Haas requested permits
to rect a $5,000 warehouse at
1218 Court street. Karl Schaver
asked to make a $1,000 addition
to an apartment at 1308 North
Riverside avenue.
Other permits were: Dale
Franklin, to construct a $750
marquee at 27 South Central
avenue; J. H. Tizekker, a $500
garage at 2116 East Main street;
E. J. Carrall, a $400 garage at
28 Lincoln street and E. F. Hal
gren, $250 renovations to a res
idence at 315 Portland avenue.
Navy Reservists Set
Meeting Tomorrow
A meeting ot naval reserve
composite unit 13-11 has been

federal office building, accord
ing to Lt. R. William Clark,

It Harder To
Than To Join
His salary (a modest one) was
delivered to him in cash by an
FBI agent each week.
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."
