Talk:J. Peters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm uncomfortable with naming an article for a pseudonym. If this is Joseph Peters, then let's call the entry "Joseph Peters". If Joseph Peters is the same person as "J. Peters" writer of the handbook on party organizing, that deserves a mention, but why make the abbreviation the name of the article?
As I mentioned back on 19:08, 25 May 2005 page 27 of the NCIE document refers to Sandor Goldberger being AKA Joseph Peters. Was Sandor Goldberger a birthname?

- It appears Joszef Peter (no "s") was his birth name; it was Anglicized to Josef Peters and later again to Joseph Peters (the later probably by posthumous writers). Most prominently he was known as J. Peters, the name he was published under and brings up the most hits. Alexander Goldfarb, Isador Boorstein and Alexander Stevens and Sandor Goldberg are all psydonyms that he was able to acquire through the fake passport business at World Tourist, Inc. (The same source that got Earl Browder convicted).Whittaker Chambers Testimony before HUAC 3 August 1948 even gives Goldenweis as his name. The Chambers testimony also has an interesting digression while discussing Peters as to how all these fake birth certificates and passports were obtained. As of now, I beleive Goldberg was another psydonym, but I'm not through researching the subject. If "Peter" was not his birth name, we may never know what it really was.
