'''Rae Elson''', also '''Ray Elson''' was employed in the Civil Rights Committee in New York City in the 1930s and was a very active dues paying member of the [[Communist Party of the United States]] (CPUSA). Communist Party dues amounted to ten percent of a members income.
Elson was active in the CPUSA underground secret apparatus as a courier. Elson seems to have always had direct contacts with Soviet intelligence. By May of 1945, [[Elizabeth Bentley]] had several messages with Soviet contacts communicated through Elson. When Bentley sought to remove herself from her position as Vice President of U.S. Service and Shipping Corporation, a CPUSA and [[Comintern]] front organizaion for Soviet espionage activities, [[Joseph Katz]] selected Elson to replace Bentley. [[Earl Browder]], General Secretary of the CPUSA, helped Elson acquire interest in the firm by selling his stock to her.
In late November of 1945 Elson had a met with Bentley and they discussed the difficulties both were having meeting with their Russian contacts. Bentley defected within days after this meeting.
