- The author has copies of photographs taken by Lt. Nelson Deranian in Bucharest, Romania, of Joseph Morton with Major Walter Ross, OSS agents Joe Horvath and OSS photographer Nelson Paris, in August 1944. Morton enjoyed considerable rapport with both Walter Ross and Nelson Deranian. That they allowed him to accompany them to Bucharest would suggest that they would allow him later to accompany them to Slovakia on 7 October. They did expect, however, Morton to join them on the return flight to Italy. He chose instead to wait for a future flight which, of course, never materialized
