of a jury on November 10, 1950. The government was
represented at this session and throughout the entire
trial by United States Attorney IRVING R. SAYPOL and his
assistants ROY M. COHN and JOHN M. FOLEY. Special -
Assistant to the Attorney General THOMAS J. DONEGAN also
assisted throughout the trial in an advisory capacity.
WILLIAM W. KLEINMAN, MORTIMER SATTLER and WILLIAM L.
MESSING represented the defendants. The entire day of
November 10, 1950 was consumed with the picking of a
jury consisting of twelve individuals plus four alternates.
On November 13, 1950, the actual taking of testi-
mony began after the opening statements of the prosecution
and the defense. The following individuals appeared for
the government during the course of this trial:

_ On November 22, &#39;19S0, both 192b0
deyonso ind the government "delivered their
suations and Judge.KAUFMAN charged the jury. At B350 PM
on this day the jury brought in a verdict of guilty for
BROTHMAN on both counts and for Mgg
glgg on the one
count. Both defendants were continued by the court in
the custody of the United States Marshal.
On November 25, 1950, BROTHMAN was sentenced to
five years imprisonment and $5,000.00 fine on count two
and two years imprisonment and $10,000.00 fine on count
one. According to Judge KAUFMAN&#39;S ruling the serving of
the sentence on count one is to begin after the serving of
the sentence on count two has been completed.
MOSKONITZ was sentenced to two years imprisonment
and $10,000.00 fine. Both defendants are to stand
committed until these fines are paid.
The records maintained by the Clerk of the Court,
Southern District of New York, reflect that an appeal in
this case was filed November 30, 1950,
In answer to a Writ of Habeas Corpus Ad Testifi-
candum both defendants appeared before SYLVESTER J. RYAN,
United States District Judge, Southern District of New 
York, on December 7, 1950, where they were both sworn in.
They were then brought to the office of " Assistant
United States Attorney, VINCENT P. HAO, where.they were
examined in suplementary proceedings to determine their
assets. This was in connection with the government&#39;s
attempt to collect their fines. &#39;
Also on December 7, 1950, WILLIAM W. KLEINMAN made

 ARR£kGOLD
The following information from HARRY GOLD was
obtained by the writer and SA THOMAS H. ZOELLEH:
GOLD stated tha
§§}M, his Soviet superior, began
tolling him about BRO KN and referring to him by name in
about August,,l9hl. One meeting was scheduled at which
time SAM was going to introduce BROTHMAN to GOLD per-
sonally; however, at this meeting SAM appeared and told
GOLD that the meeting was cancelled. According to GOLD,
the next meeting occurred on September 22, l9h1, which
was the night.of Roch Hashana. At this meeting SAM again
appeared and told GOLD that BROTHMAN had to be home that
night because of the religious holiday. GOLD recalls that
he was angry about this since the meeting was scheduled
for after sundown which was actually after the holiday had
ended and, therefore, there was no reason why BROTHMAN
could not come to this meeting. GOLD stated that on this
occasion SAM intended again to make the introduction
personally. .
GOLD further stated that with regard to his meetings
with SAM, they would make plans at each meeting for the
following meeting. SAM never communicated with GOLD prior
to a meeting to cancel it, Instead GOLD would always show
up for the meeting, wait for about an hour, and if SAM
did not appear he would go home. He would then return a
week later to the same place at the same time. GOLD
advised that if he arrived for two meetings and SAM did
not come this was a signal to go, on the third weelq to en
emergency meeting place which would have been previously
agreed upon by SAM and GOLD. According to GOLD, they
would vary these emergency meeting places from time to
I116-ti
Regarding w information BROTHMAN told GOLD about
HELEN  ELIZABETH T ENTLE!! GOLD said that in the first
two or three meeting he had with BROTHMAN, BROTHMAN was
very inquisitive about HELEN, asking "How is she?" etc.
GOLD, according to his instructions from SAM and his
other Soviet superiors tn know everything always, stated
that HELEN was fine and gave BROTHMAN the impression that
g L  5 &#39;3?

I

r
P6 J
M    smafr
he knew all about her. GOLD recalled that about the time
BROTHMAN switched his employment to the Chemurgy Design
Corporation they were discussing how pleased the Soviets
had been with the Buns-S report. At that time BHOTHMAN
told GOLD that he was very glad to be rid of HELEN as she
had no technical background.
About a year later, BROTHMAN told GOLD that HELEN
had been a very peculiar Soviet agent as she had tried to
seduce him. GOLD added that one of the reasons why
BROTHMAN probably did not get along with HELEN was be-
cause she strictly adhered to instructions, acted only as
a courier, and would give him practically no help in
getting his material ready. _
GOLD advised that it was not his practice to help
his contacts but since SAM had said to get BROTHMAN&#39;S p
material out,GOLD was d3THE&#39;it in ahy way that he could.
Therefore, he said he gave BROTHMAN considerable help in
preparing reports and assembling them without SAMS
knowledge; V
At GOLD&#39;S second meeting with BROTHMAN, which took
place in the Childs Restaurant on the west side of
Columbus Circle in New York Qity, GOLD gave BROTHMAN a
verbal list of things in which the Soviets were interested
GOLD had previously obtained this list from SAM. This
list included production of aviation gasoline, techniques
of rubber manufacture, particularly synthetic rubber,
anything pertaining to aircraft, petrolou lubricating
material, colloidal graphite, strategic chemicals like
acetone and butyl alcohol, plus anything or military
value.
BROTHMAN once told GOLD that in the past he had
given information on the Houdry Cracking Process. GOLD
had the impression but could not assi any reason for itthat this material was given to JACOB§§DLOS. BROTHMAN,&#39; !&£wever, later told GOLD that what ma him angry was that
tor later bought a Houdry plantfrom thggéun Oil Company which company owns the solerights to th§KHbudry Prccesso
-5-

GOLD got the impression also from what BROTHMAN
told E&#39;i&#39;nTtHat the Hendrick Company was supposes to have
built a Houdry plant for the Esso Oil Company which
company had obtained the rights for this particular plant
from the Sun-Oil Company. According to GOLD, BROTHMAN was
able to obtain the information about the_§ggdg1_£;gggg§~
since he was employed at the Hendrick Company.
GOLD also advised that a few da s after GOLD&#39;Sinterview by FBI agents on May 29, 19x7, he and BROTHMAN
Among things discussed on this occasion was the search of conferred at §ROTHMAN&#39;S home in Peekskill, New York. -J]
GOLD&#39;S home b FBI agents sometime over the Memorial DayWeekend in IQZ7. BROTHMAN was worried about the blue
prints which the agents might have found and was critical
of GOLD for having admitted to them that he still had blue
prints in his home which he had received from BROTHMAN.
BROTHMAN again tried to press on GOLD the story that
GOLD was helping BROTHMAN write a book on some chemical
processes. It was at this meeting that BROTHMAN aid GOLD
agreed to cooperate with the FBI or at least give an "
appearance of cooperation despite the counsel of GIBBY
NEEDLEMAN. Further, BROTHMAN wanted to know all about
GOLD&#39;S espionage activity and continually kept pressing
him for more information. However, GOLD said that he did
not give him any more. _
GOLD recalled that between the time that he got his
subpoena to testify before the Grand Jury and the time he
actually testified on July 31, 19b7, BROTHMAN gave him a
copy of a transcript which BROTHMAN had dictated to his
attorney, THOMAS KIERNAN, immediately after BROTHMAN
testified before the same Grand Jury on July 22, 19h7.
According to GOLD, BHOTHMAN gave him this transcript to
read so that GOLD would know exactly what BROTHMAN had
S&1do
N&#39;S office at about ll 30 PM
MIRIuM MOS accompanied them. She, however, urgedGOLD further stated that the night before he testi~
fied they left snorama : ,
t em 0 take her home early so that they could discuos the
story GOLD would tell the Grand Jury on the fol owing day.

BROTHMAN decided, however, that before tsking_MQSKOwITZhome, ho would pick up PHILIWVINE in Woodside, New
York. After picking up LEVI they took MOSKOWITZ home.
Then LEVINE, GOLD and BROTHMAN rode around in BROTHMAN&#39;S
car for sbout?5Er hours during which time BROTHMAN dis-
cussed tho Communist Party line in effect at that partioud
lar time, BROTHMAN&#39;S excuse for picking up LEVINE in the
first place was to ry to talk him into leaving his presentjob and work with Aéigrothmgn gag gssociatesi However,
according to GOLD, BROTHMAN talked about everything else
but that subject,
At about h:OO in the morning on July 31, l9h7,
BROTHMAN aid GOLD finally arrived at BROTHMANIS homo; how-
ever, before actually entering BROTHMAN&#39;S apartment house
thcywclked on Skillmnn Avenue discussing the story GOLD -_
was to tell the Grand Jury. During this walk BROTHMAN
stated to GOLD that the main thing was to tell the same -
story that he told to the Grand Jury.
GOLD stated that after he testified he also went to
see BROTHMANIS attorney, Mr. KIERNAN, upon BROTHMAN&#39;S
instructions and told KIERNAN exactly what he had told
the Grand Jury. -
GOLD also advised that in l9hB when he left the
BROTHMAN firm, BROTHMAN said to him to remember the&#39;Rover
Boys"a.nd not to pull a"LOUIS BUDENZ9 At this time
BROTHMAN wanted to go over the fsctscgain but GOLD refused
saying that both of them knew the facts. ,

the principles of FRANCI ANKLIN. BHOTHMAN, according
to GOLD, was continuall speaking in favor of the material

fluence GOLS and everyone else connected with him into
following the Franklin line»

It appears possible, therefore, in view of the
above information from GOLD, that BROTHMAN and MOSKOWITZ
had their trouble with tHe&#39;C0mmunist Party as prevIousIy92
reported over BROTHMANIS support of FRANKLIN rather than
over his championing the cause of EARL BROWDER.NY 100-95066
The "Daily Worker", on East Coast Communist news-
paper, on March 2t, 19uB, announced that EB§§§;§_EBANKLJ£L_
had been expelled from the Communist Party after an
investigation that resulted in three mnin charges. These
are as follows:
"That he had for n considerable period of
time in his club section and place of employ-
ment and through other channels worked to
undermine the discipline, unity and authority
of the Party.
"That he had been the center of the factional
group in the Party seeking to split the
organization,
"That he had carried on disruptive activities
trying to create a dissident group within the
Jefferson School where he was employed as a
teacher which had reflected discredit on the
Party before the teachers and students of that
progressive people&#39;s school," &#39;
The following additional information regarding
GOLDVS association with BROTHMhN was furnished to SA8
RICHARD E. BRENNAN and T, SCOTT MILLER:
Over a period of years, between l9h3 and March l9h6,
BROTHMAN, on several occasions, requested GOLD to ask
his Soviet superiors whether they could furnish him with ,
an arrangement whereby he could work for the Soviet Union
through AmLn2g,_doing chemical engineering design&#39;work,
BBOTHMAN explained that he would require sums in the
amount of $25,000.00 or $50,000.00 to obtain the proper
setup for carrying this out,
 In addition, GOLD said, on two occasion B THMAN
told him:

JAC§gh1LLER, whom he desired to employ at the Chemurgy
Desi n Company, but he needed several hundred dollars a
week to pay their salaries. He said that if he could
employ these men, it would greatly expedite the transfer
of information to the Soviet Union. QQLD said he spoke
to his Soviet superior 53m, about this and the offer wasabruptly rejected. <25 On a later date, sometime before
September of 19Ldi, BROT1-Ii w told 001.1! that he had afriend by the name of GU$x§61LAN whom he could employ at
Chemurgy provided the man&#39;s salary could be paid.
BROTHMAN desired to employ WOLLAN to expedite the transfer
of information to the Soviet Union. This time GOLD never
even montionedrit to SAM but he told BROTHMAN at a later
date that the proposition had been rejected.
Regarding the matter of subsidizing BROTHMAN so
that he could do chemical engineering design work for the
Soviet Union, BBOTHMAN told GOLD that it was the one
desire of his life to be. able to work in such a fashion,
openly. According to GOLD, BROTHMAN said that he would
gladly work with only the slightest margin of profit, I
just so he made enough for the ordinary wants of life and
that he would furnish the Soviet Union with extremely
valuable data. He emphasized the fact that by having his
own organization he would be able to travel all over the
United States and obtain process data in other fields in
which the Soviets might be interested. Thus, the idea
was that not only would this chemical engineering organize
tion function legitimately but would serve as a focal
point for espionage activities. GOLD stated that he never
got very far in explaining any of this to SAM because he
was always out off very sharply and told that the whole
idea was ludicrous,
The one point that was hammered home by SAM and
every single one of the other Soviet agents whom GOBD
knew was the fact that they were totally uninterested in
anything that an individual might design. What they
wanted were proven processes--ones already in successful
operation in the United States. In fact, the Soviet .
agents all went a step further, and they said that they
much preferred to have a process which worked at say 80%
efficiency but did so consistently to one which worked at
95% efficiency but which was only in the experimental or
rvs sea"!

theoretical stage. In fact, they not only preferred
but they insisted on proven processes. It was emphasized
to GOLD again and again that the only work they would
consider taking from BROTHMAN was that which involved
plants already in successful operation in the United
States. The Soviet egents,according to GOLD, had on
absolute veneration and holy respect for American
technological skill.

SHUR» WAN had been trerted. Very reluctantly at the end
of the harengue GOLDagreed to go with BROTHMAN to Amtorg
the following day.
Accordingly, GOLD and BROTHMAN met TVERIANOVICH and
the Russian notified them that before any contract could
be obtained s prospectus must be submitted. BROTHMAN and
GOLD discussed the fact that such s prospectus would cost
in the neighborhood of $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 to prepare
and they began to worry about whether they could afford to
go ahead with such a project without any guarantee of
obtaining the work.

As a result of this discussion with BROTHMAN, a
luncheon engagement was arran e t the Vanderbilt Hotels few days la e etween JULEgx§6§CHIEN, a BROTHMANpartner, GIBB?g§ggDLEMAN, attc ey for Amtorg, BROTHMAN,
and GOLD. Th was the first time GOLD sai t st he met
NEEDLEMAN. This meeting was arranged by JULES KORCHIEN
who knew NEEDLEMAN intimately. During-this luncheon
engagement, NEEDLEMAN stated that he would exert his best
efforts on behilf of BROTHMAN&#39;S firm but that it was not
the usual Soviet policy to make advance payments for just
a prospectus on a process.
There followed, during the summer of l9h6, three or
four subsequent meetings between BROTHMAN;§1§Rl£NOMIH and
@QLD,_ These were all at the Amtorg offices as had been
the first meeting with TVERIANOVICH. At almost all of
these NEEDLEMAN was present either at the beginning or at
some subsequent time. During these meetings BROTHXAN and
GOLD turned over to TVEBIANOVICH a fairly complete pros-
pectus for the manufacture of certain synthetic vitamins
of the s Complex~_-Thiamine  B1! Niacin, Pantothenic Acid,Pyridoxine  B6!, Riboflavin  B25, and Ascorbic Acid
 Vitamin C!. This prospectus consisted of the chemical
reactions by which it was proposed to make each vitamin,
drawn out on fullescale blueprint paper and overe1l &#39;
estimates of the cost of regular production of each of
the particular vitamins. Some engineering calculations
were added as illustrative examples. All of this work
was turned over to TVERIANQVICH. e
It should be added that when BROTHMAN and GOLD
initially submitted the prospectus TVERIANOVICH rejected
it saying that they should be very careful not to infringe
on any existing patent structures either in the United
States or elsewhere. Therefore, the reactions by which
they proposed to prepare these vitamins were novel but
completely untried. They were textbook ideas. Possibly
this is the reason they never heard any further about it-
TVERIANOVICH, however, was pleased with the work
and told them that he would try to expedite a contract as

soon as possible In October or November of l9h6BROTHMAN, K§§QLE
A§_and QQQQ_had their final meeting with
TVERIANOVICH. This was held not in the Amtorg offices
but in a small bar across the street on Madison Avenue.
GOLD said that they never ssw.I1EB1A
Q!£§§_again.
They did not hear anything on this for several
months thereafter. Eventually a meeting was arranged by
NEEDLEMAN with TVERIANOVICH&#39;S successor. GOLD said that he
could not recall his name. He stated that he was a small
man of about 5&#39; 5". This meeting took place in the lmtorg
offices and the Amtorg representative who had succeede
TVERIANOVICH said that he would look into the matter but
he had no knowledge of it. Nothing even came out of this.
I,
- Sometime in April of 19h?, BROTHMAN called GOLD
from the laboratory into the BROTHNAN offices at Long
Island City. He told-GOLD that he had been notified by
NEEDLEMAN that the Soviets were interested in a plant for
the production of penicillin by means of fermentation
processes. BROTHMAN wanted to know if GOLD knew anything
ab t his. He replied that he did not but his friend,TO§9§£RCK, in Philadelphia, did. GOLD told BROTHMAN thatBL CK had done a considerable amount of espionage work on 1/
behalf of the Soviet Union and in addition had his own
personal knowledge of the penicillin process.
That very afternoon GOLD advised that he called TOM
BLACK.and that evening he came to New York, He met with
BROTHMAN, MIRIAM MOSKOWITZ and GOLD in the BROTHMAN offices
in the ChaEham=PE¬
TiBHIIding in Long Island City. During
the course of this meeting BLACK detailed for them the
salient points of the methods used for the production of
penicillin by fermentation and its recovery from the fer-
mentation mash. Based on this, BROTHMAN prepared a short
but complete prospectus and he submitted it the following
day to one of the Amtorg men in their offices--the man who
was interested in the process. Thetappointment was made:
by GIBBY NEEDLEMAN at the request of BROTHMAN.
However, the prospectus received a very cold
reception and the only question that the Amtorg representa-
szjmzr

¬ J
n 7"mt 100-95066
tive seemed to want answered was, "Have you ever built
any penicillin plants before in the United States and, if
so, where are they in successful operation so that I can
go and look at them and see for myself?" At one stage
during the talk with the Soviet representative, the_
Russian made inquiries about another process, an
industrial chemical one, and BROTHMAN stated that he
knew how the process operated. The Soviet representative
then asked him very quickly, "How?", and BROTHMAN could
not answer--he was at a complete loss--he had not expected
this inquiry."
This was the last time that.
QLD_gver visited _
the Amtg;g_pffices in company with BROTHMAN and this is
the last time that he ever heard from BROTHMAN of any
overtures which he made to the Amtorg Corporation.
On returning to Long Island, late that
afternoon, after this visit to amtorg, BROTHMAN was
exceedingly critical of the manner in which Amtorg operate
its business and said that they failed to appreciate
people who really had information of value for them and
that he had run into many instances of this in the past.
Sometime in February or March 19b? BROTHMAN
informed GOL hat he w now s B L h D t as u ing I BY NYED &#39; _f_as
the firm&#39;s attorney in connection with nego iations oingon between the BROTHMAN company and a man called Dg!&POM
. POMERANIEC!of England, .BROTHMAN was attempting to use
POMas a promoter in marks g me of the BROTHMANprocesses to a firm called
ggsfigroat niversal Stores!
which firm was owned by a man calle OLFSON in Great
Britain. ~ ;j &#39;
A day or two before Memorial Day of l9h7,
when both BROTHMAN and GOLD were visited by SAS DONALD
E. SHANNON and FRANCIS D. O&#39;BRIEN of the FBI. and durinhis conversation that afternoon with ABE in the BROTHMLE
offices, he told GOLD at the very end 01 the conversation
that MIRIAM MO§KQMII§was already on her way over to see
GIBBY i &#39;N at the Amtorg offices, the idea being to
seek legal advice about how to answer any inte rogation." QW$ tc-ab &#39;

That night during the course of their conversa-
tions at the restaurant on Queens Boulevard called Sunny&#39;s
of Chinatown, mjw told ABE and @111 that she had been
followed on her way over to égtggg in the BROTHMAN car
but that she had succeeded in shaking the pursuit and
had seen §§§QL§MAN. She said that NEEDLEMAN&#39;S advice was
to refuse to talk to the FBI and to claim they were too,
busy because he thought that&#39;by doing any talking they
might incriminate themselves. A few days later, GOLD
returned to New York after having gone to Philadelphia.
This was still the Memorial Day Weekend. He said that he
went directly t OTHMAN&#39;S home in Sunnyside. From thereBROTHMAN, NAOMI;¥§§THMAN, his wife, and GOLD drove to
NEEDLEMAN&#39;S apartment which is on one of the side streets
off Central Park West. BROTHMAN went upstairs to the
NEEDLEMAN apartment but first warned NAOMI and GOLD to
watch carefully the windows across the way for any signs
of observation. After_about twenty or thirty minutes,
BROTHMAN came downstairs in company with NEEDLEMAN and
drove GIBBY for a period of about five minutes to his
destination in an area somewhere in Manhattan, south of
where he lived. BROTHMAN dropped him off at a street
corner.NY 100-95066
GOLD further said that during the course of the
drive, NEEDLEMAN, seeing BROTHMAN&#39;S and NAOMI BROTHMANIS
worried faces and GOLD&#39;S dejected appearance, gave the
three of them advice on how to deal with any future
interrogation by the FBI. He said, "The hell with them."
"Throw them out of the office." "Tell them you&#39;re UWBF-2&7
"Don&#39;t talk to them." j
Later that night, when BROTHMAN, his wife, and
GOLD arrived at BROTHMAN&#39;S summer home in Peekskill, they
discussed this phase of GIBBY&#39;S advice and agreed that it
was highly impractical--that the best thing to-do was to
give »every appearance of trying to cooperate with the FBI
, Abour five or six weeks later BROTHMAN received
a subpoena to appear before a Federal Grand Jury in New
York investigating espionage activities. As a result of
this, BROTHMAN told GOLD that he had decided that after a
talk with GIBBY, it would be best to retain the man who
<i{-$Ps§I- 15 .., u- -

&#39; ni J
Qmy 100-9506:: SE0
was then acting as the firm&#39;s attorney, one THOMA KIERNANof the Wall Street firm of Clearg, Gottlieb, Friendly and
Cox, the idea being to solicit a vice on how a Grand_Jury
worked and how BROTHMAN should conduct himself. On the
very night that BROTHMAN advised QQg_pf having received
tho subpoena, he was extremely angry in discussing the
summons and said that it was all a great shame and he was
going to expose it as such. He said that he was going
to make a completely clean breast of the fact that he had
illegally furnished information to the Soviet Union but
was going to claim that the soviets had never used it and
that, in any case, it was information which could havc_
been obtained from the chemical literature. He also added
that the Soviets had never uti1ized_the information he
had submitted but had gone ahead and had purchased plants
covering these very same processes. GOLD could not recall
having made any objection in BROTHMAN&#39;S presence to this
course although he said he was horrified at the prospect.
In any case, sometime in the following few
days, GOLD stated that he mentioned the matter to
MIRIAM MQ§§gITZ and she said she had heard the same &#39;
story from ABEand would try to see what could be done
about dissuading him. Just before BROTHMAM_was due to
testify before the Grand Jury, BROTHMAN, MOSKOWITZ, and
GOLD had dinner at Tops3&#39;s Restaurant on Queens Boulevard
in Forest Hills. There BROTHMAN told GOLD that he had
been to see KIIRNAN and had given him the same false
story;regarding how they had met, that he had originally
told SA8 SHANNON and O&#39;BRIEN. Sometime during the
conversation, BROTHMAN excused himself to go to the wash-
room and while he was gone MIRIAM told GOLD that he would
undoubtedly be very happy to hear that she and GIBBY

dissuading BROTHMLN from his foolhardy determination to
tell the Grand Jury the truth about his espionage work.
She said that GIBBY had pointed out to ABE the following
two factors: .

2 - That BROTHMALIWS side o
would never reach the newspaper; in
fact, it.was dubious whether the UnitedStates Attorneys would ever permit him >
to tell his story to the Grand Jury.
Going back to the sumer of l9h6, §QLD_advised
that BROTHMAN told him that he had arranged for a dinner
at QZBBY NE§DLEMg§l§ home between NEEDLEMAN, BROTHMAN, and
coma, snowman told"him that since com! had informed him
of the fact that his breakup with his  fictitious! wife
had been due to the matter of the Soviet Union owing him
some $B,0O0,00 for expenses he had incurred in connection
with his espionage activities, he said that he had spoken
to GIBBY about this matter and that GIBBY had stated that
he thought he could arrange for some sort of reimbursement.
According to GOLD, he was exceedingly loath to
accept this proposition because he thought that any in-
vestigation in the Amtggg files would PGV¬QJ to GIBBY ,
and consequently td&#39;EFOTHMAN, the fact that he was not
married and that the sum of money owed him was not
$8,000.00 but about one-third of that amount. However,
GOLD said that he had no choice and came to New York for
the meeting with NEEDLEMAN. This never took place since
BROTHMAN informed him that NEEDLEMAN had actually called
it off on Friday but that all during Saturday and up
until GOLD&#39;S departure from Philadelphia that Sunday
morning, BROTHMAN had neglected to call him. He called -
eventually but only after GOLD had left home. According to
BROTHMAN, NEEDLEMAN&#39;S excuse for cancelling the appointment
was due to the fact that he had to take his little girl to
a sumer camp, or possibly he was going to visit her at a
sumer camp. GOLD stated that he heard nothing further
of this matter and he never brought it up again.
During the late winter of l9%2 on several &#39;
occasions GOLD paid BROTHMAN sums of $2 .0" tow50.00 which
BROTHMAN said were to cover the additional blueprints
regarding the Buna-S process which he needed from the
Hendrick Company. BROTHMAN explained that if ho ordered
too many copies,the Hendrick Company might become sus-
picious, GOLD stated that he paid him theso sums out of his

own pocket since ijrefused to furnish them saying that
there was no poin in paying GOLD since he had not yet
received a single vital bit of information.
Sometime in the summer or fall of l9h2 QQLD_
purchased for BROTHMAN for about $h0.00 a Voigtlcnder
film-pack type of camera. Just before Christmas of l9h2
at BROTHMAN&#39;S request GOLD stated he purchased two gifts,
one a scarab bracelet and the other a woman&#39;s umbrella¢
BROTHMAN said that he had to give something to the
stenographer who was typing some of the work which he had
recently submitted to the Soviet Union. Each of these
items cost about $10.00. 0 Later ssormsm told GOLD that he
had given one of them to his wife, NAOMI, -
Just before Christmas of l9h5, GOLD visited
BROTHMAN at his offices on 32nd Street and GOLD gave him
a 5" Keuffel and Essor slide rule costing nbcut $6.00
but which was practically unobtainable at that time. When
GOLD came to work for BROTHMAN in May of IQLQ, he noticed
that AM S W &#39; 6 - H -" MIRI mg KO ITZ had this slide rul ant BROTHMnN
seemed em srrasse n GOLD questioned him about it. It
was obvious that he had given it to her explaining that it
was s gift from him.
Sometime late in l9h2, at BROTHM;H&#39;S request,
GOLD did a certain amount of laboratory work on the
recovery of spent nickel catalyst. This was concerned with
a plant which was then being erected at Seymour, Connecticut
for the Rufert Chemical Company. However, in o r to dothis work he required the assistance of MORhELB%%gUGHERTY
at the Pennsylvania Sugar Company. In order to pay
DOUGHERTY, GOLD stated that he effected the folloving
arrangement:
He gave BROTHMAN the sum of $150.00 ovi his
own pocket and told him to send it to Philadelphia so that
it would appear as if they were receiving payment for this
work. DOUGHERTY and GOLD split the $150.00 and by doing so
GOLD said that he accomplished the following things:
1 - He was able to bring about an indebtedness
on the part of BROTHMAN ti him which indebtedness he hoped
would result in BROTHNAN&#39;S intensifying his_ac ivitics forthe Soviet Union.  T£7  &#39; - 18 - "&#39; -

_ 2 - He was able to provide QQUGHERTY with

3 - 
e was able to set up the conditions _
whereby should QQ§Q_4n the future want to t e ff a dayor two in connection with his trips to see §gXS¬ACK, he
could always claim to DOUGHERTY that he was going to see
BROTHMAN with the inducement of possible future work.
In the sumer of l9h5, EQ%.§LLCK.and GOLD worked
in the BROTHMAN Laboratories on the ethyl Methacrylate
process for about two days. According to GOLD, the only
way he could.get off was to tell DOUGHERTY that he was
going to New York to work for BROTHMAN. This time he
again paid DOUGHERTY some money out of his own pocket
stating that he had received these funds from BROTHMAN.
GOLD stated that he docs not believe that BROTHMAN knew
anything about his giving this money to DOUGHERTY.
There was a third occasion on which GOLD said
he gave BROTHMAN some funds in connection with work he,had
done for him at the Pennsylvania Sugar Company and in which
work DOUGHERTY had assisted him. He told BROTHMAN to send
him a check covering this amount. He could then split
this money with DOUGHERTY and again accomplish the three
purposes enumerated above-
Sometime in the summer of 19h3, BROTHMAN advised
GOLD one night at the Chemurgy Offices thxt he had a
cons t ng job for him with a firm in Paterson, New Jersey,callgéxél & Gt,Inter§tatQ_QQRBn2Q§i9n. GOLD did not knowthat he initials B} and G. stand for egggpt that G, stands
for the name of one of the owners, FELI. GLUCK- The
purpose of this job was to make a surv of their malt
syrup plant and see what could be done abcut converting it
into an industrial alcohol distillery. GOLD made this
survey and was paid the sum of $300.00 which he split with
&#39;DOUGHERTY who had assisted him in preparing the lengthy
report, .

ested in a process which DOUGHERTY and GQlQ_hed evolved
for making a high vitamin yeast from citrus waste molasses.
They sent samples and a general description of the process
to MILNER at a hotel address in Washington but nothing
ever came of this.
At_one time, after the testimony of BROTHMAN
and GOLD before the 19h? Grand Jury, BROTHMAN accused him
of having had to provide DOUGHERTY with these fake sources
of income so that GOLD could more readily be able to go
off on his espionage trips through the United States;
Actually, there were only two, or possibly three at the
most, such instances and the instigation of all of these
was BROTHMaN&#39;S requests for laboratory work at the
Pennsylvania Sugar Company. GOLD said that he could not
do this work without DOUGHERTY&#39;S knowledge,
, According to GOLD, he attended the Penn-
Columbia football game in 19h; together with MORRELL
DOUGHERTY and the Pennsylv Sugar Company master tin~smith, one ALEXANDER "SAND§
%%RWIN. After the game he
excused himself and in acccr ance with a telegram from
BROTHMAN, met him in a restaurant in_the 30th Street
station, Philadelphia. He was with MIRIAM MOSKQHlEZ_and
had attended the game as a ColumbiagFEHEE¬¬TDuring the
course of the conversation, BROTHMAN told him of the
difficulties he was having with his newly-formed firm,
particularly in perfecting a process for the polymerization
of Methyl Methacrylete. He told GOLD that as a personal
loan he badly needed some $200.00, ootn made this loan
to him and eventually it was returned but here again he
used the money as a cover to DOUGHERTY stating that it was
for work they had done for BROTHMAN,
On one occasion in the fall of 19hh GOLD
pstated that he sent BROTHMAN a money order for $50,00.
He sent it from Bristol, Tennessee, while he was on a -
visit to AL SLACK at Kinpsport,-Tennessee. This moneygas sent to BROTHMAN at his request because he was short of

Further, according to GOLD he was laid offfrom his employment at the Pennsylvanih Sugar Company in
February l9h6 upon closing down of the Distillery Division;
despite the fact that promises had been made to him two
years previous that when the distillery was inevitably
shut down his co-worker, QOUGHERTY, and he would be
returned to the firm*s Ressarc vision.
In March of l9h6 GOLD stated he came to New
York and in the course of a conversation with BROTHMAN
mentioned to him the fact that he was having difficulties
with the Pennsylvania Sugar Company. BROTHMAN immediately
countered by offering him a job with his firm. He paintedn very glowing picture and statejféhat he had all but
clinched a contract with HENRY J AISiR.which agreement
called for the BROTHMAN organizat on to develop a
synthetic automobile body consisting of glasswool im-
pregnated with a plastic. GOLD told BHOTHNLN that he
would consider the matter. BROTHMAN said that his accept-
ance of KAISER&#39;S contract depended on whether or not GOLD
joined the organization. He said he told BROTHMAN that his
knowledge of the synthetic resinous field was nil but he
said that this did not matter,all he wanted was someone who
was experienced in running a laboratory efficiently, He
said that GOLD&#39;S knowledge in plastics could come along as
he worked. &#39; _ -
O As a result of this talk with BROTHMAN, the
following Saturday GOLD held a talk with $0M BLAC§ in which
he discussed the possibility of his going o work in New
York. BLACK agreed that it seemed like e unique opportunity
92
Following this, DOUGHERTY and GOLD attended a
meeting of the nmerican Chemical Society at which meeting
a usual employment clearing house was e d. _DOUGBERTYobtained an appointment with one J.Y§§§5%WEN, Personnel
Director for the Philadelphia Navy or , and in turn
DOUGHERTY referred GOLD to BOWEN. BOWEN gave GOLD a Civil
Service application which he filled out and about a week
later he was afforded an interview at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard. There, according to GOLD, he met not only BOWEN
but the Naval officer, a chemist, who had been doing work

925 0 0
NY 100-95068 
g;- I&#39;ll 8
on the Job of developing corrosion proofing materials for
ships and aircraft. As a result of this conversation
GOLD was recommended for the job and_BOWEN stated that he
would hear from them very shortly. As GOLD recalls this
job paid about $3300.00 or $3600.00 a year.
A month or so pas=ed and GOLD went to see BOWEN
again at which time BOWEN told him that an unexpected deal
had come up regarding the job. He said it was just a
matter of waiting for Federal appropriation to cover the
salary and whatever laboratory needs would be involved.
He added that actually it might be July or August before
this came through. Upon questioning,BOwEN replied that
while the jobwas GOLD&#39;S still he could offer no written
guarantee as to whether it would eventually be available.
As a result of this conversation and the prodding
of his family that GOLD obtain any sort of a job, he
entered upon the r5TT3tIag scheme.
. GOLD said that he went to Chicago, Illinois,
by train and in the Palmer House there phoned BROTHMAN in
New York to give authenticity to this maneuver. At the same
time GOLD told his family that he was going to Detroit
where §§ISER and BROTHMAN were conferring. In this phone
call he to ROTHMAN that he was no longer "hot" as he
had previously indicated to him in March of that year and
was available for work at the BHOTHMAN company. GOLD
advised that he returned the same day from Chicago flying
back by United Airlines and that upon his arrival at the
Airlines Terminal near the Grand Central Station in New
York he met QQQ§EBI1;yho was also in New York seeing his
supervisor at the Acheson Colloids Corporation.
A few days later GOLD stated he_came to New
York and began his employment with the BROTHMAN firm as
chief chemist in charge of the laboratory in Elmhurst and
at a salary of $100.00 per week. GOLD received a regular
salary from the BROTHMAN firm up until April or March of
19h? at which time the BROTHMAN organization ran out of
funds. He was paid only sporadically from than on until

he left in June of l9l;.8. According to 001.0 he believes
that his total payments over some fourteen months
amounted to approximately $1500.00. At the time that he
left the BROTHMAN organization BROTHMAN owed QOLD 03800.00
or $h000.00 back salary.
On December 26, 19kb, GOLD met his Soviet
superior for th first time in almost a year, a man whomhe knew only assg0HN. He paid GOLD $300.00 as part payment
for expenses he ad incurred in l9h5. Of this sum GOLD
said he gave BROTHMAN $175.00 a few days later explaining
that someone in Philadelphia had returned some money they
had owed him. GOLD gave BROTHMAN this money because for
about a month previous he had listened to a succession of
woeful stories about how badly he needed personal funds
and how he had not been taking any salary from the firm.
GOLD stated that here he has used the work "gave"
deliberately because when he turned this money over to
BROTHMAN he explained that it was part payment for the
blueprinting expenses which BROTHMAN had incurred in the
past. This payment of&#39;the money occurred in the lobby of
BROTHMAN&#39;S apartment house at L108 h2nd Street, Sunnyside,
New York, and wasvery early in the morning. &#39;

BROTHMAN would return the money to KELLY, GOLD told
BROTHMAN that he had borrowed it from a person called
AP" who operated at 10% personal loan service at the
Pennsylvania Sugar Company. BROTHMAN repaid the first loan
on time but in September of October GOLD made a second loan

at least three dates in December and
gave GOLD checks covering the total
which bounced. Eventually BROTHMnN did
checks good.
&#39;  GOLD advised th4t from the very first week
that he came to A. Br thman Associates he noticed the
following three fhctors: /

I- 92. 6 a - -
I
NY 100-95068&#39; éigtl
l - The attachment between BROTHMAN an
QEXWWQ;
2 - BROTHMAN&#39;S anxiety to obtain a contract
from Amtorg.
3 - A recollection of the fact that his
Soviet superior JOHN had warned himin 19h5 that sR5fHHZNwas "hot".
As a result of these three factors, QOLD
determined to leave the employ of BROTHMAN as rap y as
possible. However, one financial emergency kept succeed-
- ing another and he never actually left until June 19hB.
As a reserve reason and as a palliative,GOLD always kept
in mind the idea from March or April of 19h? that he
could tell BROTHMAN that even though he felt GOLD was
deserting the firm should GOLD return to Philadelphia, he
would waive his back salary. However,such an offer was
not necessary because one morning in late April of l9h8 at
bout 5:00, after an all night conversation between PHIL.4<2EIlE§5 BROTHMAN and GOLD, during which BROTEMAN endeavored
to pacify PHIL regarding PHIL&#39;S resentment at MIRIAM
MOSKOWTIZ  this resentment had arisen out of PHIL&#39;S
criticism of ABE&#39;S conduct of the business and MOSKOWITZ&#39;
reply that PHIL and GOLD should stay in the laboratory
where they belongeda BROQHMAN stated that as a condition
ofz is selling the A,.Bnnthman_A£aaniaL
s firm to EDwARD£h§§QBMAH it would be necessary for the employeest6*~
we ve bac salary. GOLD readily agreed but PHIL made no
reply.
Later, just on the morning of BROTHMAN&#39;S
departure for Switzerland in late May of l9h8, BROTHMAN
told PHIL LEVINE and GOLD during a conversation in a
Child&#39;s Restaurant on the West Side of Lexington Avenue
and below Slst Street, that one of the stipulations laid
down by NORMAN at a conversation earlier that day between
NORMQN and ABE was that the employees agree to waive all
their back salary. A boost for PHIL and GOLD from tl00.00
to $125.00 a week w_s_envisioned by them but this notuntil all of the plgposed European contracts in Switzerland
England and France had been signed. Neither of them said

LNY 100-95068
U1   .
anything at the time because BROTHMAN was badly upset
regarding his trip to Europe. &#39;
On BROTHMAN&#39;S return from Europe an indignation
meeting was held among the employees at which time in a
period of about half an hour QOLD read an "indictment"
composing a set of charges aga ns OTHMAN regarding
mismanagement of the firm and the manner in which the
employees~partners had been treated. ¢
According to GOLD, beginning about October of
l9h6 upon the release of §§§i]Jg§rfrom.the BROTHMAN
employ, BROTHMAN told GOLD that he wasa.partner along with
r T s hat i a week or QSCAH_VAGO anl MIRIAM MOSKOWI Z and t n two
he wou have the proper paps ready. At various
subsequent times BHOTHMAN brought this fact to GOLD&#39;S
attention. when Q§;§_Q§!lN£Lleft the G. D. Research
Corporation whichvws.p:ying him a regular salary to come
to work for the BROTHMAN firm at no salary at all but
just glowing Promises, PHIL also had the understanding
that he was a partner. In March of l9h7 BROTHMAN painted
a very encouraging picture as to the future of thef
ms and
indicated to all of the employees that the prospective
profits were so greet that it would be desirable to form
a cooperative. A meeting was held with the BROTHM}&#39; /employees at which the details were discussed. SO¥§ANSHEL
was the employees&#39; representative. GOLD said that he ig-
nored the whole matter because it seemed so ludicros to
him: &#39;
The purpose of the cooperative was to avoid
payment of large taxes to the government and to _
establish some.sort of a fund whereby poor boys could be
enabled to go to college. _A few weeks later the BBOTHMLN
firm stopped paying salaries and no more was heard of the
cooperative. FANSHEL worked for two or three weeks with-
out pay and then declared that he could not continue and
92 left the firm. A drafts-man by the name 0
__HEBSH_--/KE;.amo3rnz._.a1e likewise and ssorm/mu proclaimed at length
upon their ungratefulness. He said that when there were
prospects for a cooperative they were partners, when there
was no pay they became employees.

The indignation meeting lasted som
hours, the final seven and one-half of which consisted of
BROTHMnN&#39;S reply in which none of the charges were refuted,
but actually was a pers nal attack on,QSOAR VAGO and aheated defense of mggggygmgsggmlmznby ABE. The o lowing
day BROTHMAN notifie the employees that they were no
longer working for the company. Ab GOLD&#39;S request
BROTHMAN granted PHIL and him two weeks to clean up the _affairs in the labdf
tory. However, when QQLD returned
home to Philadelphia that weekend BROTHMAN called him and
told him he had changed the lock on the door of the lab--
oratory and there was no point in his returning.
Subsequent to this, after several prior attempts
faikad, PHIL and GOLD presented BROTHMAN on a Saturday
morning with separate statements consisting of a sentence,
or two and denoting the fact that BROTHMAN owed GOLD some
$3800.00 or $h000.00 in back salary and PHIL about
$3800.00 or $3500.00. BROTHMAN refused to sign these &#39;
statements but said he would after he had seen his &#39;
attorne Wr KI NAN record n y,.i . E3 . t i g to GOLD they never
received these statem ts. .
A few weeks after this LEYINE and GOLD visited
several ettorne &#39;, one in downtown New York and another manby the name o§!§gPFMAN somewhere in the garment district
on Sixth Aven . The first men required $700.00 retainer
before he would take the job of collecting this money but
HOFFMAN said he would do it on a straight commission basis.
Eventually PHIL sent the papers to a third attorney who was
related to him in some manner. GOLD said he signed those
but never heard anythinq about any action which might have
been taken.&#39; Several times during the course of these
efforts by LEVINE to obtain his back pay, PHIL criticized
GOLD for not appearing too eager and GOLD told PHIL that
he was afraid that BROTHMAN might reveal details concerning
their past associations.
GOLD advised that when he went to work for
BROTHMAN in May of 19h6 his bank account had about $2500.00
in it. when he left in June 19h8 some tl700.00 remained,
In addition he stated he had borrowed somewhere between
tl,0O0,00 and $2,000.00 collectively from both his motherand brother. &#39;

In September of 19h7, just prior to his
mother&#39;s death on the 26th of that month, he borrowed
$200.00 from the Corn Exchange Bank in Philadelphia.
This loan is on record and its purpose was to enable GOLD
to continue working for BBOTHMAN. GOLDadded that from the
very beginning of his employ with BROTHMAN he met with
terrific opposition from his family on the rare occasions
when he would go home becaurc the effect of the long hours
and extreme tension of trying to complete processes which
they did not have but which BROTHMAN had already made
statements that they did have,was such that he was totally
exhausted. ,GOLD resisted these but didin February or
March of 19h? file a Civil Service application for an
organic chemist and received a rating of 7h.78.
According to GOLD the Civil service Commission
should have on record a letter to the Quartermaster Depot
in Philadelphia from him indicating that he was dis-
satisfied with this rating and requesting a revision.
Also the Commission&#39;s reply should be available. GOLD said
it was a woman in charge of this rating

Comission, this time giving him a higher Civil Service
rating and a salary of $hhO0,00 per year. The only reason
GOLD did not accept this job was that it was in Bruccton,

leave his family again. -

VAGO, igjihend ROHALL. KOGON was MOSKOWITZ&#39; roommate
t on Eighth Avenue and was serving as par secre ary
during MIRIAM&#39;S absence. GOLD-said that he refused to take
any of this money at first. VAGO and PHIL took $200.00
each but eventually, on OSCAR&#39;S urging, GOLD_took $50.00
because he knew that if he did not,his brother would not
give him funds with which to return to BROTHMAN Associates.
This was all the payment that his employees received
during BROTHMAN&#39;S absence.
Sometime during the ten days or so that
BROTHMAN was gone, he ordered the employees to be in his
office at a certain time because of OSCAR&#39;S second cable-
gram so that he could speak to them by transatlantic .
phone. GOLD made the call at the time_specified. The
following people were also there: NAOMI BROTHMANV BERNIEqlggggg, PIDTO&#39;S attorney whose nsmeGULD does not know, 
IL LEVINE and OSCAR VAGO. At NAOMI&#39;S insistence GOLD
told BROTHMAN that he had to come home. He pleaded with
GOLD to tell him what was wrong and why all had turned
against him. He did coma home in s few days and the
aforementioned indignation meeting was held. Present at
this meeting were PHIL LEVINE, OSCAR VAGO, ROHALL, BROTHMANQgL§§_§%§Q§1§nd HARRY GOLD. GOLD read the charges and
t e a listened to BROTHMAN&#39;S harangue for some seven
hours. The only person whom ABE blamed for the rebellion
was OSCAR VAGO and at the time they parted that evening
there was an understanding between BROTHMAN, LEVINE and
GOLD that they would meet again later that night to discuss
the rehabilitation of the firm.

not recognize a picture of ALEXANDER SVENCHANSKY. He
also recalled an individual named SWAN who was employed
at Amtorg as an interpreter. According to this informant,
SWAN travelled with various Russian commissions that were

him come to the New York Office for an interview were
unsuccessful. SVENCHANSKY insisted that this interview
be conducted in the presence of his attorney, JOSEPHPNCER 5 Fif h Avenue New York City, *
_ After questioning him regarding his background,
SVENCHANSKY was asked if he knew BROTHMAN. He immediately
stated th&#39;t he refused to answer this question on the
grounds that he did not wish to incriminate himself or
anyone else. At this point SPENCER stated that he had
advised SVENCHANSKY to give this answer considering his
position at the United Nations and since it, therefore,
might be incriminating for SVENCHANSKY to admit knowing
someone under indictment. SPENCER, however, stated that
he would have to consider this question further as to
whether he would also give the same advice to SVENCHANSKYif
SVENCHANSKY was employed in private industry. SPENCER also
said that he assumed the FBI was questioning all the
present and past employees of Amtorg to learn of the
activities of that organizatid
T&#39;It&#39;was then pointed out
to SPENCBR and SVENCHANSKY that this particular interview
was only concerned with obtaining information on BROTHMAN

from SVENCHANSKY. SPENCER stated that under these
circumstances he wo§IH&#39;IIEeto confer with his client in
another room.
After the conference, however, SVENCHANSKY said
that he did not desire to change his answer. SVENCHANSKY
readily admitted in the interview that he was known to his
intimates as SHQQg;§@§:
This matter was discussed with IRVING H.
SAYPOL, United States Attorney, Southern District of New
York, who advised that he would issue ta trial subpoena
which would be returnable at the start of BROTHMAN&#39;S ,*
trial on November 8, 1950. SAPOL stated $ this time that
he did not intend to call SVENCHANSKY as a witness but
desired his presence in-the courtroom for the psychological
effect on BROTHMAN.
The subpoena was served by the United States
Marshal on SVENCHANSKY on November 8, 1950. In answer
to this subpoena, SPENCER contacted Assistant United States
Attorney ROY M. COHN and told him that SVENCHANSKY desired
to furnish all information in his possession regarding
BROTHMAN. Arrangements were made with SVENCHANSKY to have
the writer and SA TAYLOR interview SVENCHANSKY on
November 10, 1950. &#39;
In this interview he advised that he first met
BROTHMAN in 1 or 8 throu KOMI B1 N who - 937 193 Eh Ni] _3QIHM¢ m he
has known for about twenty years. e statedtha e met
with BROTHMAN and his wife socially about two or three
times a year during l9hl. He claimed to have had no
contact with BROTHMAN or Mrs. BROTHMAN until August, 1950
at which time Mrs. BROTHMAN asked him to contribute to
BROTHMAN&#39;S bail fund. SVENCHANSKY stated that he con-
tributed $500.00 which he borrowed.
According to SVENOHANSKY, after BROTHMAN&#39;S
release on bail on September 1, 1950, he contacted
SVENCHANSKY and told him that as his defense he wanted to
prove that Russia already had what he was supposed to have
given them. BROTHMAN asked SVENCHANSKY to translate
certain articles for him that appeared in a Russian publica
tion in 19h0. According to SVENCHANSKY, this material was
swan

on atomic energy. $VENQ§AN§K¥ stated that he examined the
material at the New York Public Library but only kept
the titles of the articles since the articles themselves
were very lengthy and technical. He said that he intended
to confer further with BROTHMAN on what articles he wanted
translated. He claimed that BROTHMAN did not contact him
further and that he still had the titles of the articles
in his home, He promised to tern this material over to
the New York Office, _
In this interview, he admitted that he met_1gQQ§
GQLQ§_at Wor1d"Tourist in about 1937 when he bought a
ticket for Russia. He denied, however that he introduced
BROTHMAN into Russian espionage. He stated that he did not
know that BROTHMAN was a Soviet agent. Further he claimed
that he is not at the present time e member of the Communist
Party but refused to answer whether he had been a member.
The subpoena_was continued by the United
States Attorney until November 13, 1950.
On that date SPENQEB%pppeared in court at
BROTHMAN&#39;S trial with a doctor&#39;s certificate for ALEXANDER
SVENCHANSKY from Dr, JQSEPH SHAPI3Q,_3973 h7th street,
Sunnyside, New York. According to this certificate,
SVENCHANSKY was suffering from pneumonia. This certificate
was made an exhibit by the government.
On this date also Judge IRVING R. KAUFMAN
appointed Dr. CHARLES K. FRIEDBERG, 1088 Park Avenue, New
York City, to examine SVENCHANSKY. Dr. ERIEDBERG did not
substantiate the diagnosis of Dr. SHAPIRO. According to
Dr. FRIEDBERG, SVENCHANSKY was merely suffering from a
heavy cold and should be available within a few days.
&#39; On November 13, 1950 SPENCER furnished this
office with the list of articles promised by SVENCHANSKY
and mentioned above. The articles originally appearedin a publication entitlegja

received a e ephone call from.QQLD, BLACK was
living in Newark, New Jersey, at the time. he told
BLACK that he had to see him on a very urgent matter.
At the meeting subsequently held,GOLD- told BLACK that he
was about to be inducted into the United States Army and
that as a matter of fact he had received his notice to
take his pre-induction physical examination. According
to BLACK, GOLD stated that he had been handling a contact
who in the past had provided him with extremely valuable
technical information for the Soviet Union and who could
still provide such information. However, GOLD added,
according to BLACK that this contact had been very badly
handled before being turned over to him. GOLD allegedly
explained to BLACK tha: this contact had been badly
handled in the sense that he was rather tempermental
and in order to get information from him he could not be
handled brusquely but he would have to be handled with
extreme tact and flattery. BLACK said that GOLD believed
that this contact was so valuable that he did not want to
see Just anyone handle him and therefore he had recommend
or was going to recomend to his Soviet superior that
BLACK be assigned this task. &#39; -
GOLD told BLACK that this contact was a brilliant
chemical engineer and among other things was an expert
in the design of mixing equipment for the chemical
industry. According to BLACK, GOLD thought that he  BLACK!
was the only person who would be able to get the fullest
cooperation from this contact because of BLACK*S own
personality traits, BLACK said that he told GOLD that
it would be foolish to turn this contact over to him
because he also expected to be inducted into the United
States Army.
BLACK advised that GOLD did not mention this
contact&#39;s name at this time and it was some years later
before he found out that this contact was BROTHMLN.

NY 100-95068
BLACK was able to supply from experience. On the triggto New York from Philadelphia GQLp92told BLgQ§_a little "
bit about the person he was going to meet. ccording to
BLACK he told him that BROTHMAN was a chemical engineer
in the consulting business and that he was currently work-
ing on a process to obviate the Du Pent and Rohm and Hess
patents on Methyl Methacrylste. He mentioned also that
BROTHMAN was an expert on chemical mixing equipment and
it was then, according to BLACK, that he asked GOLD if
BROTHMAN was the contact he had wanted him to handle if
GOLD was inducted into the Army. GOLD is supposed to &#39;
have replied that it was.
BLACK said that they met BROTHMAN at a subway
station in Queens County and he drove them to his labora-
tory in Elmhurst. BLACK advised that while he was in
BROTHMAN&#39;S car he noticed a current issue of the "Daily
worker." BLACK stated that he believed his second
meeting with BROTHMAN took place at BROTHMAN&#39;S office.
He said that he received a telephone call in
Philadelphia from HARRY GOLD who by this time had become
an employee of BROTHMAN&#39;S, He asked BLACK to pick up a
sample of certain material at the Rohm and Hess plant in
Bristol, Pennsylvania, and bring it to BROTHMAN&#39;S office.
BLACK stated that he picked up the sample aid brought it
to BROTHMAN&#39;S office that evening. Present in the officewhen BLACK arrived there were GOLD, BROTHMAN a1d Ml§%§§h
MQSKQHIZZ. According to BLACK,BROTHMAN took them al t
to dinner. During the conversation at dinner BLACK stated
that he recalls that the chief topic discussed was the
Chinese Comunist movement, BLACK was unable to recall
any specific details about this conversation but said that
he came away with the impression that BROTHMAN, MOSKOWITZ
and GORDON were favorable to a Communist regime in China
and appeared to follow the Communist Party line in this

BLACK further stated that GOLD told him that
BROTHMAN was extremely stupid in handling his business
contacts. He said that BROTHMAN was in contact with
representative of the Chinese Nationalist Government

trying to negotiate the sale of Methyl Methacrylate to them.
According to.§LACK, GOLD told him that one evening when
BROTHMAN was entertaining this contact for business purposes
he took him to aNationmUd:meeting at Madison Square
Garden. At this meeting the Chinese Communist Government
was denounced. .
BLACK advised that from his conversations with
HARRY GOLD there was no doubt in his mind that BROTHMAN
had been sympathetic to the Communist movement and the
Soviet Union for many years.

hand corner were, according to QOLD in his
writing and referred to the Buna- process.
The sheet of paper with the number 7 on top
contained GOLD&#39;S handwriting and referred to
mixing equipment.
3- A series of handwritten numbers on pages
numbered 5 through 16 inclusive written on

appear what seemed to be chemical equations.
HARRY GOLD stated that the sheets of paper
numbered number 1 through h and 17 through
25 are in his handwriting and contain informa-
tion on mixing equipment. The pages on which
the chemical equations appear, according to
GOLD, are not in his handwriting, He said that

document entitled "Notes On Continuous
Method Report." t
GOLD advised that all of this material set
out under item 5 was in BROTHMnN&#39;S handwriting.

According 0 HARRY GOLD, BROTHMAN introducedcow to cnimtss ojgmim at the saorm/an laboratory. In
April or May, 19h7, GOLD performed a demonstration for
BROWN regarding the polymerization of Methyl Mothaorylate
Monomer. GOLD stated that BROWN at that time wrote a
column for a chemical and technical engineering magazine j
published by the American Chemical Society. GOLD stated
that BROWN was pleased with the demonstration as was
BROTHMAN and that later BROWN helped to sell the process
to the United States Industrial Chemical Company,
CHARLES O. BROWN, Room 1502, 331 Madison Avenue,
New York City, was interviewed by SA PL;NTZ and SA WLLTER
L. WLNGENHEIM. H stated_that he had been introduced toBROTHMLN by SIDNE§Q§lRKPATRICK, Editor of Technical »
Publications for Me Grew Hill Publishing Company,as a
possible associate to work with BROWN as a Co s ltingChemical Engineer. Also involved was THEODOR%g8ZTVE,
Assistant Editor at Mo Graw Hill. According BROWN, both
KIRKPATRICK and OLIVE felt that he should have~somo sort
of partner inasmuch as he was alone in his business and
often was not able to give full attention to various matters
which would have brought him additional income. BROWN
stated he has acted as an engineer consultant for
approximately 200 different firms from which he has re-
ceived approximately $20,000.00 to $h0,000.00 a year.
According to BROWN, BROTHMAN let it be known about
the Mo Graw Hill Company where he often visited in
connection with the publication of technical papers that he
was looking for someone to serve as his business partner
and to see that the office and the business was properly

run while he ran the technical end. BROTHMAN is supposed
to have stated that he made numerous mistakes in running
tho office end of his business which served to decrease
his profits. At their first meeting BROTHMAN toLiBROwN
that he was working under a contract for the Chinese
Government on a project to set up a sound dye industry
in that country. BROTHMAN, according to BROWN, invited
him out to his laboratory on the Saturday morning following
their initial meeting to exhibit a method BROTHMAN had
developed for-Producing polysterene.
During this first meeting BROTHMAN madefrequent -
reference to 
g§BX_GOLD-as his Chief Assistant. He also
referred to him asa brilliant chemist. BROWN said that he
accepted the invitation and BROTHMAN picked BROWN up at his
office on the following Saturday. On their way to the
laboratory they stopped for lunch at a place on Long
Island. During the meal BROWN said the BROTHMAN excused
himself three times to make telephone calls. It was at
this point BROWN said that he began to entertain some doubt
about BROTHMAN who found it necessary to make phone calls
in the middle of a meal on a Saturday. BROWN stated that
he began to consider BROTHMAN asemratic and disorganized.
BROWN advised that he watched the demonstration at
the laboratory which was being prepared by HARRY GOLD.GOLD mixed the ingredients for the polysterene but
BROTHMAN performed the actual "cooking&#39; which took about
twenty minutes. While this "cooking" was in progress
BROWN was seated in such a position that he could see a
reflection of GOLD in a plate glass window in the front of
the laboratory. GOLD did not think that he could be seen,
according to BROWN, and as BROWN watched GOLD&#39;S reflection
he could see him going through BROWN&#39;S briefcase. BROWN
stated that as there was nothing of value in it he said .
nothing of the incident to anyone, BROTHMAN, according to
BROWN, appeared to think very highly of HARRY GOLD.
BROWN acknowledg i that BROTHMAN was a capable
engineer and that the demonstration at the Laboratory was

N

most successful. Later BROWN suggested that BROTHMAN show
his process to the United States Industrial Chemical
Company, 60 East h2nd Street, New York City. This firm,
according to QRQEN, after looking into the matter became
interested in it as the only Methyl Methacrylete being?
produced at the time was in accordance with a method
controlled by and licensed to the Rohm and Hass Company.
BROTHMAN&#39;S method while producing the same product employed
a different method. BROWN said that he later heard from
a Dr. BASS from the United States Industrial and Chemical
Company that when the firm got around to discussing the
details with BROTHMAN the deal collapsed,
About a week later BROWN said that he let it be
known to BROTHMAN that he did not desire to become a
partner and that BROTHMAN appeared to be doing very well
by himself and did not need BROWN&#39;S assistance-
- BROWN stated that on» one occasion BROTHMAN told
him that the main reason he desired BROWN to enter into
a partnership with him was because BROWN had a great many
excellent contacts in chemical plants all over the country.
BROTHMAN is supposed to have said that BROWN, through his
contacts, would be able to keep BROTHMAN informed of all
the new developments that took place,. BROWN also advised
that BROTHMAN considered this information essential to his
own success in chemical research while BROWN considered it
highly unethical and resolved to cease dealing with
BROTHMAN as soon as he could.
BROWN estimated that the association between
himself and BROTHMAN lasted about ten days or two weeks
in the early sumer of l9h7, He stated that he considered
BROTHMAN a very capable chemist but felt that he operated
in a disorganized and illogical manner. He said that he
also considered him "shifty" and unethical.
BROWN&#39;S opinion o
iGQLD_nas about the same except
that he had little opportunity to observe him. He stated
that the briefcase incident seemed to indicate the true
character of the whole BROTHMAN group with which he came
into contact._

The report of SA CHARLES W. GRUBB dated November
10, 1950 at Indianapolis, Indiana, set out a lead for the
New York Office to interview H. K. LAROWE of the American
Cyanamid Company.
SA STU1.R&#39;l J. CAMERON interviewed M1. LARONE,
Director of Purchases of the American Gylnamid Company,
30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York City. He advised SA
CAMERON that he does-not know BROTHMAN and can not recall
that he was ever ¢Ontl0ted by BOTHMAN.
Mr. A. MAGNUM WEBB, Chemical Construction
Corporation, hB8 Madison Avenue, New York City, advised 
SA CAMERON that this corporation is a subsidiary of the
American Cyanumid Company. He also said that this &#39;
corporation was interested in the development of a process
for changing salt water into drinking water during the
last war. He added, however, that he does not recall -
BBOTHMAN but stated that it was entirely possible that
BROTHMAN could have contacted him in connection with-this
PIC0eSS.
In Hg§3§_§QLp&#39;S statement dated July 11, 1950,
he advised that BROTHMAN put him in touch with several
legitimate jobs from which he obtained money. One of these
according to him w _ proposal on the conversion of aplant owned by thogg:

interview he advised that he hired HARRY D through therecommendation of an attorney named SERG§§%§RVIS who had
previously stated to GLUGK that he knew a man who was a
friend of a chemical engineer or his acquaintance. GLUCK
believed that this friend of SERGE JARVIS was BROTHMAN

never met DOUGHERTY. GLUCK also stated that this survey
of GOLD and DOUGHERTY was made sometime in 19h3 at which
time he thought GLUCK was working for the Publicker
Industries in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. _GLUCK also stated
that he paid $300.00 for this survey but since he was not
satisfied with it he never used it.
GLUCK could furnish no information regarding
BOTHMAN nor did he have any additional information
regarding HARRY GOLD.
The records of Columbia University reflect that
BROTHMAN attended Seth Low Junior College of that
university from September 1930 to June 1931, He attended
the Columbia University Undergraduate School from
September 1931 to June 6, 1933 at which time he received a
Bachelor of Science degree. These records further reflect
that BROTHMAN entered the Graduate School of Columbia
University in September l93h but since he still owed
certain fees as of January 10, 1935, he was considered as
"no registration" and handled as a suspension case.
 The following information was obtained from the

an agent of the Newark Office relative to the material on
which BROTHMAN had worked for the Industrial Process
Engineers.w1tb specific reference to the "Kettles" which
Confidential Informant E=11 stated were manufactured by
the Industrial Process Engineers. LEWISON advised that his
firm receives numerous requests from companies and in-
dividuals ell over tho world who wish to enter business in
the chemical or industrial manufacturin field. These
requests are in the nature of invitations to bid and ask
Industrial Process Engineers to design the physical setup
of n proposed plant. According to LEWISON whenever such a

request is received which involves the setting up o a
chemical process, BROTHMAN is called upon to design that
phase of the chemical plant. BROTHMAN makes rough sketches
or drawings together with notations containing the pro- 1
posed setup and Industrial Process Engineers produce
finished blueprints from BROTHMAN&#39;S sketches.
I.Ew.I.SQN.e1s<> stated that
Enc&#39; s has performed a quantity of work for the UnionUarbide and Carhon Company, Plant K-25, Oak.Ridge,
Tennessee, but that none of this work has been classified

consisted in the manufacturing of "heaters" commonly called
"Kettles" which are chemical mixing machines. LEWISON

heat load of one "Heater" which was described as a gasoline
super heater which was&#39;ordered on April h, 1950. " -

restaurant and that 001.1: should cg gm; Federal Bureau ofInvestigation the same story as he did as to the origin of
their association. BROTHMAN then gave GOLD a description of
JACOB GOLOS and instructed GOLD to tell the agents that GOLOS
had introduced them. »
Also on this day, FBI agents interviewed HARRY
GOLD at the Brcthman laboratory. At the outset of the interview
GOLD identified a picture of JACOB GOLOS which was shown to him
by the agents. In a signed statement, he stated that he met
this individual at a meeting of the American Chemical Society
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in l9hO and that this man
requested his to get in touch with ABRAHAM BROTHMAN in New York
City. This man, according to this statement instructed GOLDto discuss certain chemical processes with BBOTHMAN, pick up
blueprints pertaining to these processes from BHOTHMAN, and
evaluate the chemical processes against the blueprints. GOLD
claimed that about November, 19%O, he made en appointment to
meet BROTHMAN and in fact came to New York City and actually
met him. At this meeting, BROTHMAN gave blueprints to GOLD.
According to this statement also GOLD madefurther trips to New York City from Philadelphia up until around
late 19bl on the average of one every six weeks. In this state-
ment, GOLD claimed that he met BROTHMAN in restaurants in New
York City and that at these times, BROTHMAN would turn over
blueprints to him,
Further, in this connection BROTHMAN testifiedbefore a Grand Jury in the Southern District of New York on
July 22, 19%? and GOLD testified before this same Grand Juryon July 31 l§§7. Both stated before this Grand Jury that theymet each other through JACOB GOLOS, GOLD giving such testimony
at the insistence of ABRAHAM BROTHMAN.
Actually however, HARRY GOLD in a signed statement
dated July ll, 1950 claimed that the story he gave the FBIagents on May 29, 1§%7 and the Grand Jury on July 31, 19%? wascompletely false. He further stated that he never knew JACOB
GOLOS, but met with BROTHMAN&#39;and picked up blueprints from him

at the request of an individual known to him as "SAM". GOLD_
has also stated that MIRIAM MOSKOWITZ was fully aware of this
false story and in fact sought legal advice on this storyfrom Isanoai czssr naantémin, BROTHM1N&#39;S attorney at that time.
MIRIAM MDSKDWITZ first became&#39;associsted with
A. Brothman an Associates in October, lqhk as a secretary.
In l9k6 she became a partner in this firm and was closelyassociated with BROTHHAN in his business, personal and social
act vi es. ,
On July 29 1950, a Grand Jury in the SouthernDistrict of New York handed up an indictment to Judge SIDNEY
SUGARMAN charging ABRAHAM BROTHMAN and MIRIAM MSKOWITZ with
conspiracy to obstruct justice in that they together with
HARE! GOLD, a co-conspinator hut not a defendant agreed onfictitious explanations of their associations with each other
and divers other persons in violation of Title l8, Section 88

a second count charging BROTHMAN with wilfully influencing
GOLD to give false testimony before a Grand Jury on July 31,
l9%7, in violation of Title 18, Section 2M1,  l9%6 Edition!,
United States Code.
BROTHMAN and MDSKOWITZ were arrested at 3:50 P.M.
on July 29, 1950, by FBI agents at Cliffwood, New Jersey, in
accordance with bench warrants previously issued by Judge
SUGABMAN. They were arraigned on July 31, 1950 before UnitedStates District Judge r, H011 nsvxs of the Middle District of
Georgia who at that time was sitting as a visiting judge in the

Their trial began on November 8, 1950, before
Judge IRVING R. KAUFMAN Southern District of New York. OnNovember 22, 1950, the iury returned a verdict finding BROTHMAN
guilty on the two counts and MDSKDWITZ guilty on the one count.
Inasmuch as they had been remanded to the custody of the United
States Marshal at the start of their trial they were continuedin his custody. On November 28 1950 KADNMAN sentenced BROTHMANto five years imprisonment and #5000 fine on count two, and two
years imprisonment and $10,000 fine on count one. Judge KAUFMAN
determined that the serving of the sentence on count one was
to begin after the completion of the sentence on count two.
MDSKOWITZ was sentenced&#39;to two years imprisonmznt and $10,000fing. Both defendents are to be committed until all fines are
pa .
AGGRAVATING CIRCUM§Z§FQES
In BRDTHMANYS testimony before the Grand Jury on
July 22, l9H7, he admitted membership in the Young Communist
League while he was a student at Columbia University. Further,
a reliable informant of this office has advised that BROTHMAN
was a member at large of the Communist Party and in l9h8 delivereda talk before the Hetti Lapatinc Club, Chelsea Section, Communist
Party in which he attacked the party leaders and defended EARLBROwD
R.  Actually it is believed that BROTHMAN in his talk
defended FRANCIS FRANKLIN rather than EARL BROWDEH, since HARRY
GOLD has stated that BROWDER was a follower of FRANCIS FRANKLIN.
It should be noted that FRANKLIN was expelled by the Communist ,
Party in l9H8 for factionalism.!
At the time the verdict was returned by the Jury
on November 22, 1950 Judge KAUFMAN made the following commentsregarding the verdict:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: I want to thank you for
your thorough and patient deliberation. I think YOHI verdi¢Y
was an intelligent one and I think it was a proper Verdict in
accordance with the evidence in this case.
"I think that your verdict was a comP1@te 1n5i°ati°n

» "What I do not understand and I simply cannot
fathom is why people who seek to undermine the very backbone
of our country, why people seek to undermine that which give
them every opportunity ---- opportunity for education,
opportunity for livelihood, yes and an opportunity for fairtrial such as they have received here. I simply cannot
comprehend it. Perhaps the explanation can be found some
place else but it is far beyond me."
~Judge KAUFMKN at the sentencing of the defendantson November 28, 1950, made the following comments:
"The defendants in this case have not only been
convicted of obstruction of justice, but what aggravated the
case here is the fact that the obstruction of justice serious
by itself was laid in the background of espionage. I said in
my charge to the Jury that the obstruction of justice is one
of the most serious crimes on the statute books because only
by safeguarding the purity of judicial process can it be protectah
I believe those were my exact words. when you destroy the courts
you have made the first inroad I believe to the destruction of
your country.
"When the verdict came in I said it was beyond
my comprehension that anyone would commit an offense of this
character against this country- and what is strange about thisis that the very country that these defendants sought to undermire,
and the evidence was clear and the verdict of the jury was clear
on that particular point, that the very country that they sought
to undermine gave them a fair, painstaking and competent trial,
something that they could not have obtained from the country
they sought to aid.
"The parents of these defendants came to America
seeking a haven from oppression so that these defendants, their
children, could be brought up in a wholesome atmosphere, an
atmosphere which recognized that God had created a human being.
the greatest thing which God has ever done; and that the human
being had a certain sanctity about him which if man made law
did not recognize it, natural made law did recognize it; and ythat this country recognized that that natural law was paramount ;
to man made law and once man made law conflicts with natural ~law it had to give way.  &#39;

&#39; _ "There are so few safe havens remaining on earth
today and its seems to me that these defendants sought to under-
mine the staunchest supporter of freedom in the world today.
I cannot understand, I said that when the verdict came in.
I repeat again, I Just cannot comprehend why these defendants
and others seek to destroy that which protects them from tyranny.
The matter of imposing sentence you knowMr. Kleinman is never a pleasant task for any court. It is
almost a God like function. You sit and place sentence upon
a fellow human being. In this particular case, I must say that
I have deliberated, I have spent a great deal of time giving
a great deal of thought to the matter of sentence, and I have
come to but one conclusion and that is that I regret that the
law under which these defendants are to be sentenced is so
limited and so restricted that I can only pass the sentence which
I am going to pass, for I consider their offenses in this case J
to be of such gross magnitude. I have no sympathy or mercy for
these defendants in my heart, none whatsoever. " iE!

In 1939, BROTHMAN tekxteredy greement
wzh the Hendrick Manufacturing Company ch Street,New York City, whereby BHOTHMAN was to try to sell this
mixer to various industrial firms. The Hendrick Manufacturing
Company, according to the agreement, was to manufacture the
mixer thus sold by BROTHMAN. BRDTHMAN was not a salaried
employee of the Hendrick Company, but instead received royalties
and expenses from them. This agreement remained in effect until
July, 19%2, when it was terminated.
About this time, BROTHMAN together with ARTHUR P.

industrial firms in the United States and abroad.
In August, 1950 A. Brothman and Associates gaveup its office in Long Island City and moved to Room 500, 35
West 33rd Street, New York City. This address, however, was
