SHUO AR Is one of Sam C ARR 's recruits and he ran him during 7
the early stages before being taken over by O R ANT's ow n
staff (ex* £0)*
In D ecem ber, 1944 CARR w as given an assignm ent for SHUG AR
(ex* 35-2) asking for inform ation on hydro-aeoustio stations,
the location of plants, etc*
CO RBY states that SHUG AR also gave valuable Inform ation on
subm arines and periscopes (ex* £8 m entioned som e m aterial
received from PHO M BTHBUS).
In June, 1945 CARR w as asked how m atters stood w ith SHUG AR
(ex* 35-2), CARR replied that be w as then w orking In the
N aval Staff but had been under observation and that speolal
caution w as required (ex* 35-4, Inform ation obtained from
CARR at m eeting on 15-6-43 (ex* 35-1)*
O n August 2 G RAN? Inform ed M oscow that SHUG AR w as In Florida
(ex* 2) and that as soon as he returned to Toronto arrange
m ents w ould be m ade to contact him directly Instead of
through CARR (ex* 2). G RANT suggested that BRBNT (RO G O V)
undertake the contact (ex* 2)*
M oscow , how ever, had qualm s and pointed out on August 14th
(ex. 28) that they had l
i
t
t
l
e inform ation on SHUG AR. They
added that I
fhe should prove valuable, dlreot contact
should be established, m entioning that i
t w as not desirable
to entrust this to BRBNT (RO G O V) but rather through CHESTER
(G O RSHKO V) (ex. £8).
