Due to economic difficulties, the [[Comintern]] in Moscow suddenly stopped subsidizing the [[CPUSA]] above ground activities in 1929, although it continued to finance the underground operations in the United States.

As counsel and investigator for the Nye committee, Alger Hiss was able to make requests "by the Nye committee" for documents from the office of Joseph C . Green. At Hiss' home, they were photographed by Chambers with a Leica. The success of the operation, and Moscow's receptivity, encouraged Peters. By the end of 1935, Chambers was feeding Peters most all of the Nye committee material, as well as turning over information and other intelligence from [[Julian Wadleigh]] and [[Harry Dexter White]].
