'''Cedric Henning Belfrage''' (born November 8, 1904 - died June 21, 1990) was a [[socialist]], author, journalist, translator and co-founder of the radical US-weekly newspaper the ''[[National Guardian]]''. Born in London, in 1927, Belfrage went to [[Hollywood]]. Belfrage joined the [[US Communist Party]] in 1937, but withdrew his membership a few months later. During [[World War II]] he worked in the [[British Security Coordination]] for the Western hemisphere. In 1948, he wrote for and helped co-found---along with [[James Aronson]] and [[John McManus]]---the National Guardian (renamed the Guardian in 1967) to which he would remain affiliated until the late 1960s.
According to FBI files, Belfrage was questioned by the [[FBI]] in 1947 about his involvement with the [[Communist Party]]. The interview covered his relations with [[Earl Browder]], [[Jacob Golos]], [[V. J. Jerome]], and surveillances and documents about Scotland Yard and the [[Vichy Government]] of France.
In 1995, the decrypted [[VENONA]] intercepts--a project between the U.S. and British intelligence services to decipher Soviet wires--were made public. Un-named codename number 9 (UNC/9) is identified by US intelligence to be Belfrage. Venona also had a cover name “Charlie” that was not identified by the [[FBI]] but the 1948 ''Gorsky Memo'' in Soviet Archives corroborated Belfrage 's covert relationship with Soviet intelligence as a member of the “Sound” and “Myrna” groups. Seven Venona decrpyts reference UNC/9 was involved in passing conversations between Belfrage's bureau chief and Winston Churchill on to the [[Soviets]]. Belfrage is referenced in the following Venona decrypts,
