Dr. Fuchs told me also at this time that he would probably return
to England econ but that by paying a call to his sister I could ascertain
just when. ihie statement may not be completely accurate in the sense,
it also seems to me that he gave a deiinite time , about Ghristmae 1|eek&#39;o£
191.5 when he expected to again be -in Cambridge. J. . .. &#39;
In early evening I returned by bus to Albuquerque and got an early
morning plane frcm Llbuquerque to Kansas City. mere, I had to transfer to
a train whim took no to Chicago and I went from Chicago by way of New York
Central to New York. From Ree York I went to Philadelphia and no more than
several days later, turned over the intonation that Dr. Fuchs had given me
to John in New Iork City. To the best or my recollection, it was out beyond
Jackson Heights somewhere in Queens where I turned this information over to
John. -
Here again, I would like to repeat that I previously said, that
this jumbled up method of travel was necessitated by the lack oi facilities
at that time and heavy travel at that time and was not intended as a means of
throwing anyone ofi my trail. &#39;
&#39; Ihis was the last time that I saw Dr. Fuchs or obtained information
fl-&#39;@ him.
I made either one or two attempts to see Dr. Fuchs again at the home
of his sister. This effort was not successful in that he was still in New
Mexico. After the possible second attempt which was in either late January
or early February, 1946, my scheduled appoint-nent to report to John did not
take place. This was to be at the Earle Theater in the Bronx, New York.
I never saw or heard from John again.
In svmsry, to the best of my recollection, Dr. Fuchs gave me
information on five occasions. Two times in New York in the Spring and
Sumner of 1944, once. in Cambridge in very early 1945, probably January
and twice in Santa Fe, the first time in June, the second time in late _
September, both 1945. On each occasion I subsequently turned this information
over to John. It is possible, although I doubt it, that Sam received from
me the first information which I had obtained from Dr. Fuchs.
During my association with Dr. Fuchs, Sam and John, I fully
nealisedthat the information which Hr. Fuchs was supplying me and which I
turned over to Sam or John was for the benefitoi the Soviet Union. I also
surmised that the information concerned the separation of isotopes and the

subsequent. nuclear fission to release tremendous amounts oi energ even
in the tom of a weapon.  .
_ I began the work oi industrial spying for the Soviet Union in 1936
with&#39;theinJ.l.ms1isationo:twhatIwae doing. I thought thatlwouldbehelping a Nation whoeefinal sins I approved, along the road to industrial
strength. Particularly, was I token with the idea that whatever I did would
go to help naloe living conditions"-for sore advanced along the road as we know
&#39;1&#39;.-r:.5m here in the United States. T0 &mp1i.i.y,&#39; I felt that the industrial
set up of a Nation which had only very recently begun to get any kind of s
basic industry going, use so far inferior to_ what existed in other countries,
that anything that I could do would be helpful.
Sometimes I was struck by doubts, seen in nature;
&#39; mnnber one -- Especially early in aw association from 1936 to
1938 it seemed that the informtion I was turning over was exceedingly non-
utilitaxien but I was always assured that it was well received.
Second, the one fear that troubled me during the entire time from
1936 on was the possibility that in the event of exposure my family, which
had no idea, not even the very slightest, of the work I was engaging in, would
be completely and horribly disgraced.
This affair grew and as I imagine is the case with dealings of such
a nature, I got so involved that even had I wanted to, it would have been
extremely difficult to get out. However, I would like to qualify this last
statement by saying, while on several occasions I did desire to once and for
all stop doing -this work, that I never once actually suggested it to any of the
people with whom I worked. The longest break in all this time was the two
year period when I went to school in Cincinnati, 1938 to 1940.
my reaction to the work that I did with Dr. Fuchs was twofold
in nature. On the one hand I felt that as an ally, I was only helping the
Soviet Union obtain information that I thought it was entitled to. I was
troubled even by this, but I persistently put any thoughts out of my
mind. and as I have previously said, I was in sq, deep that I was, to a.
certain extent, bewildered and didn&#39;t know what -to do. Secondly, the
realization that I was hirning over informtion to another power concerning
a weapon was so frightening that the only thing I could do was to shove it
away as far back in my mind as I could and simply not think on the matter at
811. J"

John, was to simply blot out of my mind as well as I could any thoughts
whatever. on the subject. I hoped as many people do, that atomic energy
would never again be anployed as a weapon;
I would like to state that so tar that I succeai in keeping this
whole matter from my thoughts, that some of the feelings I have just stated
are more or less recent in the sense that I have only recently given them
complete formulation. _ &#39; .
I would like now to make as absolute s statement as possible concom-
ing the i&#39;ollovd.ng: - a
Neither aw mother, father nor brother ever had the slightest
inkling that I was ever engaged in any work oi such a nature, either
industrial espionage or the later affair with Dr. Fuchs. This represented a
considerable strain to keep concealing from them over so long a period
but I did succeed by one maneuver or another and as of even this minute,
they-have not the vsguest idea what went on. The same applies to any people
that I have known, and been in intimate contact with and have worked side by side
with, and have been close friends with, over the period of the last ILL years.
This particularly applies to people with whom I worked either in industrial
laboratories or more recently, in medical research-
The one possible exception to the above is my former employer
and acquaintance, Abraham B:-othman and while I surmised that he suspected
that I had given industrial processes to the Soviet Union, still he had not
the slightest idea of my work with Dr. Fuchs. &#39;
I read the above typewritten statement consisting of nine pages and
have initialed each page and the corrections thereof inasmuch as all my
statements therein are true to the best of my knowledge and belief.

In addition to the previous nine pages in this statement, -I wish
to make the following additional statements. .
On my final visit to the Heinanams home in Cambridge, Haseaohueett
I very briefly met Robert Heinemann. This is the only time that I ever saw
&#39; The entire idea of the under-handed work required in the industrial
and subsequent spying ms always very repugnant to me. I always considered
mgrself as just a worker in e particular field requiring some degree of
technical skill and diligence; and I have been most happy when I was Just
left alone in_ the laboratory to work. I always looked forward to the time
when such actions as I have described in the_body oi this statement would
no longer be necessary. I even&#39; expressed that to the people with whom I was
in contact, and they agreed. This is not an attempt to shift any oi the blame
for my actions away from ms". .

when he turned information over to seem." He said, further, however, that at
the meetings with "John," prior to the meetings with Fuchs tor the purpose of
obtaining infomation from Fuchs, he and "John" would arrange tor a second
meeting to occur after the hort meeting tor the purpose oi delivering the
information to "John." "these second meetings would be nude a few days, or a
woelrat the most, after the meeting at -which the information was turned over
tU "John." - ,&#39; &#39; J
Gold also advised that on occasions when he did nest Fuchs md
Fuchs informed him that he would give Gold information at the next nesting,
he and Fuchs would make plans tor a tutors meeting at that tine, in order
to obviate the necessity of the two spending anymore time together than was
essential when Fuchs was transferring information to Gold. Gold also stated
that in all these arrangements, alternate meetings were alxrays established.
These alternate meetings always occurred within two weeks after the original
lQ3u.nge 1
Gold advised that he took elaborate precautions prior to the times
that he would meet Fuchs. With reference to the New York meetings with
Fuchs, he stated he would travel by subway in the general direction oi the
meeting place and en route would get oi.&#39;1&#39; of the sub-saw at deserted stops and
wait on the platform, reading newspapers, allowing several trains to go by.
He also would Jump on subway trains Just as the doors were closing and leave
than in the same fashion. He would then travel in the opposite direction
from the meeting place, usually by different means 01 transportation, such
as bus, street car, or taxicab, and then, being assuredlhe was not iclloned,
he would go diredtly to the meeting place. Gold mentioned that on only one
occasion did he become alarmed that he was being followed and on this occa-
sion, aiter leaving Fuchs, he rods the Fifth Avenue bus up Riverside Drive
to the end of the line, and then returned. -
By way of summation, Gold has recalled meeting with Fuchs on eight
different occes ions in the United States. Five oi these meetings occurred
in New York City, and surrounding boroughs; one in Cambridge.-, Massachusetts ;
and two in Santa Fe, hen Mexico. Gold has recalled receiving information
from Fuchs on two occasions in New Iork City; on one occasion in Gsmbridge,
Massachusetts; and on tno occasions in Santa Fe, New lbxico. Gold stated
that possibly he might have had one more meeting with Fuchs in New I01-Ir -
City, but he was unable to recall the circunstencee and believes that it
he did have such a meeting, he did not receive information from Fhchs at &#39;that time. - l &#39; 5-57449-466!

Gold advised on June 16, l95O, that upon the occasion he
saw Fuchs in Cambridge; Ilssaohusctts, he gave Fuobs an opera-style
wallet which Gold had bought with his own money at s. cost of about
eight dollars. Gold said that Fuchs was not very happy about receiving
this present but nonetheless accepted it. Gold also recalled that Fuchs
told him in the Sumer of 1944 of the existence of Kristel Iieineman and
that she lived in Boston, Iassachusetts. -Gold said Fuchs told him that
his sister was having great difficulty with her husband and was con-
sidering separating frcla him. Fuchs told him that in the event the
Heinsmans separated Hrs. Heincnan would come to How York to live and
Fuchs would live with her. -
Gold said the reason Fuchs told him this was in order that
Gold would pass this information on to "Jo1m" and obtain approval for
Fuchs to live vrith his sister in How York-. Gold said he never did
relay this information to John but at a later meeting with Fuchs told
Fuchs that he had passed it on to "John" and that it had been approved.
Gold stated that he did this for the reason that he was afraid some
petty official might object to Fuchs living with llrs. Haineman in New
York and Gold wanted to circumvent this disapproval.

On May 20, 1950, Assistant Director Ii. K. Glegg and Special Agent

time he stated that the photographs werenot clear enough for an identification.

On May 22, 1950, Fuchs viewed three repeat showings of motion
pictures which had previously been taken surreptitiously of Gold. At the
end of the first showing, Fuchs said, "I cannot be absolutely positive
but I think it is very like him. There are certain mannerisms I seem to
recognize such as the too obvious way he has of looking around and looking
back." Later Fhchs said there was something that did not quite fit but
that it might be the passage of time. after the third showing he said that
the identification was "very likely and related that there was nothing in
the physical appearance of Gold dissimilar to the physical appearance of the
American contact.  Ii. H. Clogg cable 5/22/50, Ho. 482!
It should be noted that the Bureau was advised by the Philadelphia
Office that Gold had admitted being the contact of Fuchs prior to the -
receipt of this cable from Mr. Olegg. ~
It should be noted that on May 24, 1950, photographs of Harry Gold
which were taken in the Hiiladelphia Office during interview with Gold were
displayed to Fuchs at which time he made a positive identification of
Harry Gold as his American espionage contact. .
During the interrogation of Fuchs by Messrs. Clegg and Lamphere
in the period May 29, 1950, through June 2, 1950, Fuchs furnished the
following information relating to his instructions for espionage activity
and his actual espionage activiqr while he was in the United States:

Fuchs stated that in the Sumner of 1945 he learned that he was being
designated as part oi an official British Mission which was to travel to the
United States to do work in connection with research on atomic energy. Fuchssaid that the Soviet Intelligence Service had nothing to do with his being
chosen as part of this British Mission; and that&#39;he was chosen because of his
knowledge and qualifications as a nuclear scientit. Upon learning; of his
designation as part of the British mision, he informed his woman contact of
this fact and she subsequently gave him insiruotions as to how he was to

establish contact in tn. United States. Her instructions were to the
effect that Fuchs should, on_ a designated day and at a ipecitied time, go
to a point on the lower Bast Bide or New York Oity where he would meet an
individual who would be wearing gloves and would have an additional pair oi e
gloves inhie hands. Fuchs/ans to can-ya tennis ball inhis hand. Fuchs
said that the instructions were to the eitect that it contact was not
established at the designated date, time and place, a second attempt should &#39;be made at a later time. Fuchs did not recall whether this was to be a weekor a month later, but said that it was probably one or other. Fuchs
said that there were de
nite B.rrangements&#39;IIads as to the passwords whichwould be exchanged at the meeting, but that he does not now recall exactly -
what these instructions were, but he gave the following as an example or such
instructions. The contact-would state, "can you tell me the way to GrandCentral Station?" Fuchs would make a reply which would not be entirelyresponsive, and the contact would in turn make an absurd reply. Thereafter,
the regular conversation between the two persons could begin.
He stated he made no written notes whatsoever as to the instructions
received, but he did memorize them and retain them in his memory until themeeting was consummated. He advised that it was his intention and understanding
that this meeting was for the purpose of establishing an espionage contact inthe United States so that he could continue to furnish con
dential, restricted
iniomation through this contact to and for the benefit or the Soviet Union.
First Contact [or Espionage Pl11&#39;_p0_B68 i11__I§L .
In keeping with prior instructions, Fuchs advised that he left
with members of the British Mission by ship and came to the United States. He
landed at Newport News, Virania, on about December 3, 1943. He proceeded toWashington, D. 6., and stayed in Washington at some hotel, the identity oi whichhe does not remember, for one or perhaps two nights. Then he went to New York
City. He took up residence prcmnptly at the Taft Hotel. Host of the members
oi the British lliesion were stationed at the Taft Hotel. He did not like the
place himself, and soon thereafter he moved. it first it was his estimate thathe might have spent the 
rst month after his arrival at the Taft Hotel. Later
he concluded this was too long a period, in his estimate. He next moved to theBarbizon Plaza Hotel in New York City. At first&#39;he estimated he might havelived there for two or three months before moving, but when it was shown thathis next place of residence began on February lst he agreed that this stay at
the Barhizon Plaza Hotel was considerably shorter.

wife, but he cannot recall their identitiee._ He does not" believe they were
colored and he states that his mind is a complete blank as far as their
identities are comerned.
After arriving in New fork C-ity, Fuchs took up employment as
part of the official British lliesion 1hich=had its offioesst-1.3 _Enhange
Place, New Iecrk Bity. Fuchs said that the British Iseion was working with
officials of the Keller Corporation which was under the control of the
llanhattan Engineer District. Fuchs said that the work of the British
Mission was with respect to developing the mathematical theory for the
building of a chemical jplant with regard to the gaseous diffusion process.
Fuchs said that one of his imnediate contacts in the Keller Corporation was
Hanson Benedict, and another individual was named llontrose. Fuchs stated
that at Christmas, 1943, he visited the home of his sister, Kristelheineman,
in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
He than told the story of his first meeting in substance as follows:
. In keeping with the specific instructions which had been given to
him by his woman espionage contact in or near Banbury, England, he proceeded
at the time and on the date indicated to a place on the lower East Side of
Manhattan, which he recalls to have been on Henry Street. It was not dark
although it was approaching dark at the time , and his recollection was that
this wesiaout Christmas, 1943, or at hast in December, 1943, or January,
1944. The place for the meeting had been selected by his woman contact near
Benbury, England. He believes that it is possible he was living at the
Barbizon Plaza Hotel at this time, because he recalls going into a subway
station located near the Barbizon Plaza Hotel, and he entertained some
apprehension,,in fact, concerning this first meeting. He recalls having this
apprehension while he was in the subway station near the Barhizon Plaza Hotel
getting ready to 1:-oceed to his first contact. Since he moved from the
Ba:-bison Plaza Hotel to 128 West 77th Street on February 1, 1944, or about
that time, he assumes that logically the time of this first meeting was prior
150  1,  - r_
He asked no questions as to how to proceed to Henry Street as he
previously had purchased a map and made his own plans for going there. In
keeping with the speciiic instructions, he went to the place on Henry Street
which had been previouelydesignated and described to him in England. He
stated ttmt the full, detailed instructions which had been given to him in
England were carried out. The contact was made on Henry Street, and the

contact was wearing gloves and carrying engsdditionel pair or gloves in
his hands. Fuchs, onthe other hand, had atennis bell inhis own hand,
as per instructions. &#39;His contact cane up to him and furnished his name
as "Raymond." Fuchs furnished his own name. "Raymond" stated that he was 
pleased to nest Fuchs. He indicated he had been expecting him and he
stated definitely that he was pleased to have been selected for such an
important assignment. .
&#39; g &#39; Be stated that no information was delivered to "Raymond," his
contact, during this 
rst meeting. It was his usual -practise in England,
and he followed it inthis instance, in making contacts not to take anything
in Ilriting with him at the first meeting. He told "Raymond," in amwer to
questions, where he was living and where he was working. They also arranged
to hold another nesting in the inlsediately near future. He discussed with
"Raymond" his plans. He also discussed with him orally acme of the o1£&#39;icisEl.s
for whom he was working and told him where, in tact, he was working at the
tine. "Raymond" specifically suggested that at future meetings Fuchs make
sure that he was not being followed. the attitude oi "Raymond" at all times
was that oi an in.fer1Or.- At this 
rst meeting hhclm believes that he made a
statement to "Raymond" about atomic energy, and he~kn&#39;ows that the words "atomic
energy" and "atondc bomb" were both mentioned, and "Raymond" must have known
about them as he did not ask any questions 
or interpretation or explanation.
He also believes that the comparative strength 01 an atom bomb was also
mentioned at this first nesting, or it could have been at some subsequent
meeting held soon thereafter. &#39;
Fuchs estimated this first meeting lasted about twenty minutes.
They walked together during the course of the meeting in the general area
where the 
rst contact was made. Fuchs remembers that on one occasion he
and "Raymond" did go together to a restaurant somewhere in New York -- it
could have been on the occasion of this first meeting, although he does not
remember this to be so.
In answer to a specific question as to whether.-the first meeting
could have been in February or March of 1941,, Fuchs stated that he felt
reasonably sure that it was earlier than these dates, and that/it was during the
period when he was at&#39;the Bsrbizcn Plaza. Hotel. Fuchs use asked as to vhether
there was a playground nearby the point of the iirstmeeting, and he said he could
not recall this , but he did recall a row of flats  apartments or apartment build-
ings! in the immediate vicinity. - &#39; - "
_ Fuchs stated he was motivated in keeping this initial meeting with
Raymond in New York by a desire to aid the Soviet Union. He said he considered
"Raymond&#39;s" status as that of an agent intermediary acting for and in behalf oi
the Soviet Union, in keeping with the plans which had been initiated in England
and which 
rst meeting he was carrying out in heaping with instructions which
he received in mgland.

1&#39;
Between December 1943 and lugust 1944 Fuchs stated that, in addition
to this 
rst meeting above-described, which he had with Raymond, whose
photograph he identi
ed as Harry Gold, there were held 4 or 5 meetings, maybe
es may as 7 matings, all told in the City or New York with Raymond.
At that time he was working with the Keller Company as a Consultant.
The work by this compsrw was being done independently, but under" the over-all
control from a security standpoint or the llsnhatten Engineer District. The
crrice where -be was employed as Consultant was on Wall Street at a place where
there were three entrances to the building. His work and the work that hetwas
concerned with was that oi developing mathematical theories to furnish to  _
Keller Company with principles as to what could go on in the gaseous diffusion
process with questions of tolerances and the over-all problems of gaseous  .
ditfusicn. He iurther advised that he was concerned with worlclng plans with the
size or a plant necessary for employment of the gaseous dihsion process,
although not with the size of the labor force that night be required. During
this period he and other British scientists were woricmg on a series of papers
identi
ed as the IBN series. The number that had been written prior to the
time of his departure to Ice Alsmos in August 1944 was about 19. Approximately
13 of this series were written by Fuchs himself. Others participating in the
production of this series were Peierls, his imediate superior, Skyrms and one
or the group papers was written by Boeonquet in England. The IBH series
was known as primary papers containing matters of principles and all oi those
when prepared and all of those which he delivered to his Espionage contact,
Raymond, were at the time of their delivery classified data".
Fuchs advised that, in addition to the first meeting which he had
with Raymond  Harry Gold!, there were additional meetings, the sequence of
which he could not remember and many of the details he could not remember
definitely, but he described these meetings in general as follows:
One meeting which Fuchs had with Raymond occurred in Manhattan near
one or the middle bridges which he identified by a mp as the Queensboro Bridge.
The meeting occurred on the street corner very close to the bridge in what he
would consider anything but an exclusive area. He remembers that during this
contact he and Raymond walked underneath the bridge approach and from the
description of the area, it was concluded that this was probably on First avenue
and not on Sutton Place. This nesting was held after dark as where most of the
other matings held in New York. This meeting occurred in the early part of 1941.
Another meeting between Fuchs and Raymond occurred just outside a
subway station near Cent:-al&#39;Park and he believes this would be the "lluseum"
subway stop on the west side of Central Park West. In this instance Fuchs
stated that he designated the place of contact because it was reasonably near
hia own place -of residence on West 77th Street, but it was the usual rule

tor Raymond to deignste the places for contact. at this meeting arrangements
were also made 
n a subsequent meeting between Riymond and Fuchs. -
Another meeting held in the early part ct 191.4 Isa in the Bronx
near e moving picture theater. From an éxandnation or a map, Fuchs concluded
that this meeting was held on Grand Concourse near 159th Street or 163st Street,
at least in this general vicinity. In e. subsequent discussion ct. the meeting
in the Bronx he stated that the words "Fordham University? struck a familiar
chord and it could be possible that the meeting was held near Fordbam. However,
he stated that this meeting, as were preoticalily all of his meetings with
Raymond, we or short duration and not likely to he or one-.-hour length either
here or at any other place in New Iork. Be believes that when he kept this
appointment in the Bronx with Raymond he very likely went there by eubny,
and that at this meeting as in all other meetings held in New York there was an
agreement and arrangement made for a subsequent meeting. They also had en
understanding that, in the Event they failed to make contact at aw or the -
meetings arranged, they would meet at exactly the same hour either IL weekor
2 &#39;I&#39;8BkB
He described another meeting as having been held in the Borough of
Queens. He estimated that when he rode the subway from Manhattan into Queens
that this meeting ins at a place approximately 20 minutes after entering the
Borough oi Queens after crossing the East River. He recalls having looked at a
map before: proceeding to this Queens meeting and he remembers noticing that
the direction he would take would be in the general direction of an airport.
He also recalls that the subway train on which he was riding left the
underground and became an elevated prior to the time when he left the train
for this particular meeting. at this point Fuchs was shown a copy of I-Iagstrous
map of Queens, NewYork, and after studying it he reached the conclusion that
the general area in which the meeting was held is the area described on the
map as "Jackson Heights." He, with his finger, made a circular motion
describing the area which is bounded by Flushing Bay, LaGua.rdia Airport,
St. Michael&#39;s Cemetery, Woodside, Elmhurst and Corona. He was unable to
identify the subway or elevated stop or any of the streets by name since he
stated he could not recollect the specific place, but could remember only the
general area. _
A8 best he can recollect, he had with him on this occasion a package
of papers which had been urittn in lcnghend and which contained classified
information about their work on the Atomic Energy project end, although he at
times carried rolled up papers in his hands, he preferred to carry the rolled
up papers in his pocket which he probably did on this occasion. His recollection
is that the papers ehich were passed by him to Raymond and which were
written in longh-and by him, contained classified, highly confidential information
pith reference to his work under the general over-all security control of the
Manhattan Engineer District. Although he stated he did not recollect specifically
that any of the IBN paper were passed at this meeting, he did recollect to
the best of his belief that two or more IBN papers were passed to Raymond byhim at each of the approximately 5 meetings held after we meeting..

There was one other meeting which wee arranged to be held inBrooklyn. Following an examination oi e mhp or Brook-1311. he believed that -
this meeting was to be held in the general vicinity or Bcro Hell, although it
might have been held at the intersection oi Fulton Street and Flathush Avenue
extension. This planned meeting was unsuccessful. Fuchs eteted he arrived
at the designated place and he recalls that there were some large public-looking
buildings in the vicinity and the traffic II-8 heavy. lie stated that at ell.
or the meetings held with Raymond, either in New Icrk City or elsewhere, he
observed no one who seemed to know Raymond and he had no Jone accompanying him
at these meetings. &#39; 3
He is of the opinion that following the very first meeting described
in the preceding section of this report that written confidential and
classified information was delivered by him to his contact, Raymond. He advised
that there would have been no occasion for any meeting except to deliver
written information since the knowledge and background of Raymond was -
insufficient to enable him to understand technical. details e.nd_hie lack of
scientific knowledge or the type necessary to understand the problem on
which Fuchs was working would have made it very unlikely that he would have
arranged any meeting with Raymond after the first for any purpose other than
to deliver information in writing to him. .
is for information furnished in the City oi New York at the above-
described meetings, Fuchs stated that he personally prepared about 13 of the
IBN documents. He would first prepare a draft in longhand. Ch some occasions
they would be sent to his immediate superior, Peierle, for reading and then,
in turn, would be routed tor duplication. In some instances, however, Fuchs,
after preparing-the rough draft, would route this rough draft which he prepared
directly for duplication. In all instances when Fuchs prepared the draft e
proof copy and the original draft would be returned by the duplicating staff
to Fuchs. Each of the duplicated copies was numbered for control and security
purposes due to the highly confidential character oi the contents. Fuchs would
then personally retain the original draft which he had written in longhand and
he then, subsequently, personally 
n-nished all or his cum longhsnd drafts or
his own composition directly to the individual known to him as Raymond, with
the intention that he would serve as an intermediary in transmitting these
secret documents to the Soviet Union and for the benefit oi that country.
The documents which he delivered were sometimes folded and other times were
rolled up. Sometimes they were carried in his hand, but most or the time he
would carry them in hie pocket and he delivered these papers secretly, usually
after dark, at the meetings whidh he had made by prearrangement with Raymond
during the period from December 1943 to August 1941.. The information which
he furnished, Fuchs stated, had come to hie knowledge by virtue of his
official employment on the Atomic berg project under the over-all control
of Manhattan Engineer District.
During these contacts in New York City, as above-described, Fuchs
stated that he furnished in writing information concerning the principles on

the development of the mathematical theccry,/ information concerning tolerances
o the gaseous diffusion process, norking plans, the size of a plant, and the
approximately 13 of the IBH series which he had prepared personally.
He furnished in writing also from time to time in New Y0:-k, as he
received it, information es to the over-all and general effort and activities
in connection with his own work "relative to the production of fissionabls
material and its potential use as an explosive in the war effort and
general information about membranes and their composition and, although he
did not know the technical details at that tinethe general information
concerning membranes and their composition ihich he did furnish was of a
highly c onfidential type .
Ihile in New York, he furnished information orally concerning
the manpower employed hy Kellen: and the nature of the work being performed
by the British Mission and all that he knew concerning personnel and pneral
activities in the llanhattan Engineer District. He also advised orally that
 ther was a plan for the building of a large plant somewhere in the
southeastern part of the United States, which would employ both the gaseous
diffusion and elect:-o-magnetic processes. He stated that this plant was later
constructed at Oak Ridge although he did not know while in Newlork the specific
location. He furnished orally the identity of the officers and the high-ranking
scientists who were employed by Keller and those that he knew who were employed
at Manhattan Engineer District at New York. Ho also discussed some of the
personnel orally. it these meetings Raymond  Gold! never took notes. Highly
technical information was not furnished orally due to Raymond&#39;s inability to
understand. _
is best as he can recollect, Fuchs stated he only missed one
prearranged contact with Raymond in New York and at each of the meetings
actually held in NewYork arrangements were made between him and Raymond
for a subsequent meeting.
He stated that the only time he and Raymond traveled together in
New York City was on one occasion only when both got in a cab and went to e.
restaurant at some place Ihich he does not recall. _
At the last actual meeting which he held in New York with Raymond
Fuchs stated he believes he told Rsmnond he was about to be transferred either
to England or to Los Alamos and that, in the event he desired to get in touch
with Fuchs, Raymond could contact his sister, Mrs. Kristel Heinemsn, whose
address on 111. Lakeview Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Fuchs furnished to
- Raymond at that time. He stated that he did not like to hring his sister
name into this matter, but since she was in no waw being involved in his
Espionage activities, he decided it was the best way to permit a renewal of
the contest in the event it were lost. Fuchs stated that some time subsequent
to this meeting he traveled to ?|&#39;ashington,,1l. 0., where he conferred with

Atomic Energy work. Fuchs also stated that he believes that he gave his
apartment address of 128 West 77th Street, New York City, to Raymond at the
next meeting following his moving to that address.

As set forth in the preceding section, it was definitely decided
in the meeting Fuchs had with Sir James Chadwick in Iashington, D, 6., in _
July, 1941., that Fuchs would be transferred to Los Alemoe to work on the
Atomic Energy Project thereprather than returned to England. In accord with
this, Fuchs traveled to Los Llamas, New Mexico, where he arrived onebout
august 14, 1944. and where he worked as a physicist in the Theoretical
Division 01 the Laboratory. While Fuchs was still an employee of the British
Mission he was at hoe llamas,  under the over-eI|.l control of MED. Be
was working on confidential and clsseiiiedresearch and was , through his
employment in the Theoretical Division, given access to practically all oi
the information with respect to the plans for the detonation oi a plutonium
bomb. He learned oi the contemplated use of the implosion theory in such a
detonation and began work on various aspects of such a detonation, including
the Lens System, various implosion designs, the theory of the Jets in con-
nection with implosion, and similar confidential work as an expert physicist.
at Les Alamos he was assigned a room in a dormitory in the restricted area.
Espionage Contact in Gambridgg_,_j
;§s,§5:husetts, February, 1951.
ls stated, Fuchs was transferred to Los llamos in August, 1941..
He advised that the German Goumunist Party would likely have information on
all or the members of his family. He, Fuchs, did personally belong to the
branch or the German Communist Party in England after he came to London.
It is quite likely that he furnished biog-ephical information concerning his
sister, then residing in the United States, to this underground Comunist
movement in Ihzgland. He never furnished any biographical data on any other
American. Thus, it was hardly necessary for him to mention his sister and
her address; although it was suggested that his sister be used as e. contact,
he does not know for sure whether he made this suggestion or whether it was
made by someone else. He did not like to use his sister&#39;s home as a contact
place, but did agree-to it since it did not involve her, but if she did suspect
anything she would think it was in connection with Communist Party work.
Fuchs stated he visited his sister in Gemhridge in February, 1916.
He had planned at first to visit her at Christmas, 1941., but this trip was
cancelled. It 15- probable that he wrote to his sister that he would visit her

later in February, 1945, since this was about the time oi the birthday
or one of his sister-s children. Ibile he was visiting his sister in
February, 191.5, his sister, Kristel Heinemsn, told Fuchs thatt his contact, he believes the name "Joseph" or "Jack" was used! had visited her and she -
had told this contest that Fuchs was casing in February, 19-.5. He also
advised, on mother occasion -that "it was possible that his sister had written
to him at Los Alsnos, advising that "Joseph" had called. his contact, -Raymond,
 later identified as Harry Gold! did visit his sister&#39;s hone while Fuchs I88
there in February, 1945. Ih did not like this meeting to be in his sister&#39;s
hone, but he accepted it. Ho espionage matters were ever discussed in the
presence of his sister. The contact, Raymond, came to the door and probably
asked for Fuchs, and when he was informed that the contact was there he called
down from upstairs for Raymond to come up to Fuchs bedroom. -His sister may
have been there in the bedrood with them for a minute or so. lie does not
recall. this as being so, however, nor does he recall telling his sister to
leave  although he jrobably would have done so had she been there. He does
not recall that Robert Heinemsn was there at any time while Raymond was .
present. He believes that in the home at the time Raymond was there were his
sister, possibly her children, and Fuchs. The call was made in the latter pert
oi the forenoon and lasted tor ten minutes, or perhaps some longer period or
time, but Raymond did not stay for lunch. He recalls that his sister told him
that on s. 1;:-evious visit oi the contest to the sister-s hone, the contact, .
Bqmond, had brought some chocolates for the children, although he does not
remember s book having been mentioned. , &#39;
The conversation which took place between Fuchs and Raymond in
Fuchs bedroom at his sister&#39;s, Kristel Hsinemsns, home in Cambridge, covered
the following matters:
Arrangement for a meeting in Boston [within s day or two;
.The contact requested the information of an up-to-date type and
Fuchs told him that he would prepare notes on th detailed
principles of the atom bomb construction for delivery to him
at Boston;
Arrangements were made for the meeting in Boston at a specific

During this meeting at Kristel ?:Lneme&#39;n&#39;s hme, Fuchs gave
Biymond&#39; a yel-low -city street ma oi? the City of Santa Fe,
New l|eJd.co,whi.ch yes used as abasis for planning e sub=
sequent meeting there in June. Fuchs stated he personally
brought the map Iith him it-tn Ios llamos for -the purpose oi
arranging this subsequent meeting in Santa. Fe. It is to be
noted that Fuchs use -shown a map of the City of Santa Fe,
New Mexico, issued by the Santa Fe Chamber of Gcemeroe, and he
stated that it was exactly the same type of map which he had
furnished to Raymond at the Heineman home in February, 1945. &#39; &#39;
Due to the tact that Raymond was employed somewhere on e regular
basis and -had c
ifioulty in arranging to get away, it was Raymond
who selected the time for the meeting. The meeting was to be
held on Alameda Street, which runs alongside the River and Raymond
was to be irslking on this street in the vicinity of trees and
park benches, and Fuchs was to pick him up in a car there.
Fuchs stated he then, in Kristel Heinemexe home, prepared a piper
which was the 
rst really detailed paper he had prepared concerning atom
bomb construction. He later stated that he had no Iphysical recollection,
however, of preparing the paper, or in which room it was prepared, or if he
actually sat down at a desk and prepared it. He stated, however, that he
did not bring any papers with him frcm Los Alamos. Thus, it was logical to
assume that he prepared them at his sister&#39;s home.1
His contact, Raymond, never spoke of his contact in any way, never
referred to them as "he," "she," "they" or"my people." He indicated at no
time any personal interest in the information that was being furnished. Fuchs
does not recall whether Konstantin Ls-fazanos came in while the contact was
there, but Fuchs knows that he em not want Raymond to stay long and he more
or less pushed him out in order to terminate the meeting. There was no
indication during this conversation that Raymond had tried to reach him in the
meantime, the mails had not been used, he had no message through any other
channel - although his sister hadxrittan him, he believes, that "Joseph"
had besnr-in. The letters irom his sister were in
nglish.
While he -use at the Heineman homahe recalls that Wendell Furry
came to the house on a visit. Eh remembers no telephone cells or telephone
numbers having been left in any may for himeto make use of in making a
contact. Be does not remember the telephone number Academy 2-2677. He does
not remember the name J. or Jerome Kaplun or Kaplcun. Ha would not say with
positiveness that this mmber had not been left, -but that it would have been e.
most unusual thing and that he has no recollection of it whatsoever. He stated he

The current ideas as to the need for en initiator. 
It is his estimate that this uritten, longhand document containing
the above information, known to him to be classified and highly confidential,
was prepared on six or more pages in longhand, in English, and the document
concerned itself mostly with matters of principle and was written in such a
manner that a physicist could understand it, although Raymond, he felt sure,
could not. The main point of emphasis in the paper which was delivered related
to the principle of implosion and the outer dimension of the high explosive.
The document was prepared in hglish, written in longhand, and no part of it use
coded other than the use of symbols employed by scientists-
He was in the earlier meetings, specific and positive about the
meeting being held in Boston. Along toward the concluding matings he was
informed that Gold, in his confession, he-d indicated that this written document

had no physical recollection of the meeting in Boston, but he does recall
having papers with him in his possession at Boston for the purpose of

based onlogical reconstruction, nae that he prepared the jtpers at hie o

the preparation or the papers, were made without the knowledge or his sister
or her husband, that they were-"not yresent during the discussion he had with

Raymond  now identi
ed as C-old! told him on this trip that he had had trouble
getting there due to his difficulty in getting away from his regular employment.
Fuchs stated it is quite likely that he made notes in a diary he was then
maintaining as to the dates of his contacts, but he is not sure that he made a
note as to the date of this particular nesting. ,H_is diary, he stated, had long
since been destroyed. A . , s

work in the Theoretical Division at Los 
nance under the over-all control or E.
Lt, the meeting held in June, 1945, at Santa Fe, arrangements were made
for a second meeting in the fall of the some year at Santa Fe; the date, time and
place of the meeting were fixed in this initial Santa Fe meeting. The date of the
second meeting at Santa Fe was probably September, 1945, as he recalls that it was
prior to the time when he went to Mexico City with Dr. Peisrls and others in
November,;&#39;1945. The specific date be does not now recall, but it was probably
on one of his days off. They were allowed shopping days without annual leave being
charged, and he believes it was 0n=. one of these shopping days. He recalls that
at first in Dos Alsmos they worked for six dws a week, and subsequently for five
dws e week. He is quite sure that this meeting in September, 1945 was not on
Sunday. &#39; 
He received no indication from his contact Raymond  Harry Gold! as to
how Raymond had travelled to Santa Fe, but it must have been by train. He believes
that Raymond indicated he was going to return via Albuquerque, and he recalls that
after their meeting had terminated, he let Raymond out ofthe car at =.a.=; point fairly
close to the bus station.
He met Raymond, as per the agreement made during the previous June, as he
was walking along Bishops Lodge Road, he believes between mllside Avenue and
Kearney Avenue. Fuchs believes that he picked Raymond up in his car and they
drove on out Bishops Lodge Road to e. lonely place where the oar was stopped and
1 discussion was held.
During this discussion, no arrangements were made for another meeting
between Fuchs and Raymond in the United States, first, because Raynond felt that
he would be unable to make arrangements to get away from his Job, and second,ggczuse Fuchs had heard intimations that he might go back to England in January,
4 . &#39;
During this conversation in this instance between Fuchs and Raymond, they
did make arrangements for a meeting between Fuchs and another espionage contact
to serve as an intermediary in transmitting information to the Soviet Union, and&#39; léz &#39;

this meeting was to be held in London. Fuchs ethted he selected the place for themeeting at llornington Crescent, which is the name of on under-groundv  subway!station in London; This station is large, about l5O yards in length, and there is
a Lift  elevator! and stairs. Fuchs stated that according to these arrangements,he was to have a copy of Life Magazine with him, and his new contact was to have a
bundle of severalbooks with a cord tied around them. Some passwords, -which hedoes not new recall, were to be used. The date of the month and the specific hbur
of the day was fixed with a recontect to be made if the first attanpt to meettailed, and the recontact was to be at the same time and on the same day oi the
month either one month or two months later.  Fuchs advised that these plane whichthey made for the meeting were never consummated due to the fact that he read about
the Canadian Spy expose, and he made other arrangements on his own initiative.!
It was necessary, Fuchs said, for him to designate the place in London where they
were to meet since Raymond  Gold! was not acquainted with London;
Fuchsstated that no plans were made for any further contacts at his
sister&#39;s home or anywhere else in the United States, not even in the event an
emergency arose. He advised that he remained in Los Alamos until June, 191,6 and
from the date of the September, 1915, meeting with Raymond until he left Los Alamos
in June, l9£,6 for England, no contacts were made with Raymond, and no consideration
was given to a subsequent meeting in the United States because he did not know how
he could arrange it, and he doubted if there was even any consideration given to
the possibility of such a meeting at that time. Fuchs stated that he left
Los Alamos and went to see his sister at Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the last day
oi June, 191,6. - &#39;
He stated that when he left Les Alamos to keep this second meeting inSeptember, 1945, with Raymond, he drove his car while en route off the side of the
road in a desert between Loo Alamos and Santa Fe, and there wrote s. paper in long-
hand based on infomation which he retained in his memory. He said "I had enough
in my heed to do this." He turned this paper which he prepared over to itwmond
as an espionage contact, with the full intention and purpose that it would be
transmitted through Raymond to and for the benefit of the Soviet Union and its
Atomic Energ research and construction program. He does not believe that his
report contained any .&#39;m£&#39;ormation as to the results of the Japanese explosions,
because he believes that Dr. Pen:iv&#39;s report concerning this was later prepared
Included among the information furnished by-Fuchs in writing, unless
otherwise indicated, to Raymond for transmittal for the use by the Soviet Union,
were the following: The fact that the production of U-235 was about lO0 kg per
month; that the production of plutonium was about 20 kg per month. He
stated he was about 20 miles from the A-Bomb fission trial at Alamogordo, i.e.,the "Trinity test," and he viewed the results that were observable from thisposition. At lea Alamos, his work was concerned with figuring out where thingsmight go wrong in the bomb action, and later at Les Alamos he worked on blast wavesspecifically the tail end of the blast waves. Only so far as it entered into theinterpretation of experimental results did he know oi the effect that the bomb
would have on human life. He furnished to Raymond, he stated, whatever he knew.

The uranimn bomb at Los Alanna was an appendix, not much interest being ehoum in
it there, and he knew no one concerned with the gun at Les Alamoe. He furnished
specifically in writing to Raymond the results" of the Trinity tests, and advised
if the English were keeping up with the United States. He also furnished date.
on his work on the initiator ; the rate of production; and although he did not know
much about it, he may have said something about the preaesembled core and compass.
The chances are that he did. Be mrnished information concerning the critical
sine which would be important only if one wanted to know how many bombs were being
made on the basis oi the rate of production or materials. He believes that he
passed information to Raymond that the barriers were to be of "sintered nickel."
Information learned by Fuchs while he was in the United States, and an
indication based on his recollection as to whether he did or did not zharnish this
information as specified bale-I to his Russian espionage contacts, is listed below,
with no indication as to whether the information was passed in the United States
or subsequently in England. It will be noted that from some of the dates or the
meetings at which some of the subject matters were discussed, it would have
been impossible fer this information to have been delivered to Raymond by Fuchs
at the September, 1945 contact between them, due to the tact that the meetings
were not held until subsequently. Thus, his logical rationalisation that this was
subsequently furnished in England when he indicated that the information was
passed to his Russian espionage contact.
As for the document known as LEN-18, the title being "Adaptation of K-25
Plant for Partial Operation on the Cascade of Cascades Principle---Flow Sheets
VII a, b and c," he stated that he knew that this problem was discussed, but did
not know that a paper had been issued concerning it. He hadhesrd nothing .
concerning K-25 at Les Alamos, and if he passed any information at all about it,
it was prior to his going to Los Alamos. The Cascade oi cascades was considered
previously in England, and was transmitted to his Russian espionage contact in
England prior to his coming to the United States. He transmitted nothing at any
time concerning the operations at Hanford, but he did give more than an indication
or the composite bomb and its economic features. He did this at either the
September meeting in Santa Fe, or at the first meeting in England, and he furnished
it in writing, he recalls. There was included, also, the economic features oi
the composite bomb at the September, 191.5 meeting in Santa Fe. This date was
furnished, be feels sure, as sell as in a subsequent meeting which he held in
England with an espionage contact after his return to bngland from Loe alamos.
He stated that he did not furnish any information concerning the problem in
achieving a non-equilibrium reaction which was -discussed at the April super
conference at Les Alanna, but he is quite certain that he did furnish to his
Russian contacts information concerning the inverse Compton radiation cooling
effect. He furnished one information concerning-diffusion plant problems -
barriers, but this was only a limited amount of data, and he furnished nothing
as to conditioning such problems. He stated that he did not furnish information
contained in the address by Hr. Teller in Mr. B1-s.dbury&#39;a office at one oi the

rst super conferences, nor did he furnish any information concerning thecontents of a talk by Mr. H. Hurwitz who spoke at the second "super" meeting. F L4

1. Background of Gold *
 a! Personal History
Gold has adyised he was born December 12, 1910, in Bern,
Switzerland. His parents Sam and Celia
old, both born in Russia,
emigrated to the United States in 1911+ at which time the family name
was Golodnitsky. On arrival at Ellis Island an Ismigration official
suggested that the name be changed to Gold. Subsequent to their
arrival in the United States the Gold faadJ.y resided in Little Rock,
Arkansas and Chicago, Illinois. In 1915 Sam Cold vent to work in
Norfolk, Virginia and Celia and Harry Gold went to Philadelphia to
reside with Celie&#39;s brother.
Immigration and Haturalisation records at Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania reected that Harry Gold was issued a certificate of
derivative citizenship under the Immigration and Naturalization file
3-A-7159. No date was available and the Philadelphia file has been
destroyed.
The same records reected that Sam Gold filed petition
for citizenship on June 6, 1921 and was naturalised June 6, 1922.
Hie address then was 261,9 South Phillip Street, Philadelphia, and
his occupation was cahinetmaker. He was horn January 1, 1881 in
Russia and entered the United States July 13, 1911+. Immigration
records also reflected the arrival of this individualnnder the
name Samson Goldniteki.
Records in the office of the Deputy Clerk in Charge of 
Naturalization, U. S. District Court, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
reflected that Sam Gold, 2623 South Phillip Street, a cabinetmaker,
was born January 1, 1681 in Kiev, Russia and had emigrated from
Antwerp, Belgium on July L, 1911;. He declared his intention to
become a citizen on January 17, 1919. in the,District Court at
Philadelphia. His wife Celia was born July 29, 1883, in Russia.
He had two children, Henrich Gold born Decmber 12, 1910 in
Switzerland and Iosef Gold residing with him. Sam Gold executed
his oath of allegiance on June 6, 1922 and the court order admitting
him as a citizen was issued on the same date. Neither the U. S. District
Court records nor the Immigration and Raturalisation Service reflected
any legal change of name for Sam Gold. An Immigration official and the

In keeping with -arrangemnts which had been made in the home of Fuchs;Ulster  Kristel Heinsman! in Gmhridge, llsssechusetts, in February, l9£5, Fuchsstated that he would meet his contact Raymond in_Ss.n&#39;ta Fe in June, 1945. He bedshown Raymond on e nap where they would meet; and they did meet at the placeindicated on Alameda Street, where it lies alongside the river, and between
Castillo Street and Delgado Street; where there are trees and benches adjacent to
the street. After they met, Fuchs then went after his oer which he was using, and he
than picked up his contact Rumond, and together they drove across the river bridgeand turned left into a lane which terminated ata gate. They stopped the car, sat
in the car, and talked together at this deserted pot.
Uhile there in the car, Fuchs delivered in writing as much information
of an up-to-date type as he had concerning the dBomb. He also informed Raymondof the fact that e test explosion was soon to be held in July at Alamogordo, andhe also furnished additional information at this time which he possessed concerning
implosion. He eve in writing e description of the plutonium bomb which was soonto be tested. 
e furnished more information than had heretofore been furnished
concerning the ignition of the bomb, although this ignition system had not yet beencompleted. He furnished in writing the principles of IBM calculations, the methodsof calculating efficiency and the results of the efficiency calculations. Ha QB pa;stated that as best he recalls, his estimate as to the calculated efficiency ranfrdn a small percentage to as high as 50%, which he subsequently recalled in ac
comparing it with actual results of efficiency tests of the Hires e lesionwhich was a _d the &#39;ls&#39;t&#39;er.- Nagasaki explosion which was about alsowfurnished in wr g information concerning the size of the bomb, and he plans
to use the bomb against Japan if it were found effective in the test. He knew -that work was going on on the gun but he knew very little about it. He probably
referred to it in his written communication. He prepared a sketch of the bomband its components with important dimensions indicated, and he Brew e sigrulated
sketch covering a period of about ten minutes, which as best he could recall wassimilar to the sort of sketch he turned over to Raymond at this meeting. He also
furnished information as to the type of core, a description of the initiator and
details as to the tamper.&#39; .
Orally at this meeting while in the car, Fuchs advised that he furnished
the nanes of the types of explosives to be used in the bomb, the approximate siteof the Trinity test which was soon to be made, and tliat the A-Bomb according to
calculations would be vastly greater in its explosive force than large quantities
of TNI. He furnished, in fact, a specific figure to establcieh a comparison.
. He stated that his paper was written in longhand, and in its preparation
prior to the time when he left Los Alamos, he consulted official classified &#39;
documents at Los Alsmos in preparing the longhand data which he delivered to his
espionage contact Raymond. He remembers specifically that he examined officialdocuments to obtain information concerning the special method of detonation, theIBM calculations and the result of the efficiency calculations. He stated that

Gold was employed.
The company records indicated an additional previous unploy-
ment of Harry Gold by the Moorneir Dairy Company, Cincinnati, G110 for a
year and ten months, the exact datespnot being given. 1 s
Vacation records as maintained by the Pennsylvania sugar Company
were inccmplete and no record of any vacation by Gold during l9h5 could

at the Pennsylvania Alcohol and Chemical corporation were, according to
Tuson, inseparable friends and associates. Tuson indicated that Gold
and Dougherty in December, 19115 were suspected of being connected with
the disappearance of some laboratory equipment and after an indirect
reference was made to Daugherty concerning this equipment, it eventually
reappeared. Tuson and other plant officials felt that Gold and Dougherty
held beck infonnetion concerning chemical analyses, etc. Tueon did not
believe that any of the material to which Gold had access was of a secret
nature. He indicated, however, that the information may have been of
help to e backward nation. As to official trips taken by Gold, Tuson
said that Gold, with Dougherty, had traveled to Pekin and Peoria, Illinois

after June 21, 191,15. In February, 19b6, after leaving the Pennsylvania
Sugar company, Daugherty and Gold attended a meeting or the American
Chemical Society in Atlantic City, New Iersey. Dougherty knew nothing
of value concerning Gold&#39;s uaploynen

Associates, but felt that Gold became associated with Brothmen through
Tau Black. Dougherty admitted loaning money to Gold, borrowing money
from Gold, and being associated with Gold in obtaining various loans.
Hepointed out that about one or two years after the start of world
War II, he and Gold attempted. to borrow $1500 from a bank for the
purpose of establishing a Vitamin Assay Laboratory. They were unable
to secure the loan. Dougherty believed he was presently indebted to
Gold in the amount of about $1400. He did not remember that use Gold
made of any ofthe funds received by him from any of the various loans
secured. Daugherty said that Gold had never discussed politics,
international affairs, or anything which might be connected in any

1947 through June 1938 and that heifirst met Harry Gold when he began this
employment. He stated that he most likely had been introduced to Gold by
G303! VB-gm Inasmuch as he and Gold worked inf&#39;the some laboratory, they

an apartment vacancy at his residence and took Gold to the apartment house -
manager and assisted him in arranging to rent this apartment. At the tine,
Gold was short of funds and Levine stated that he advanced Gold the sum of
$120.00. Levine claims that Gold is still indebted to him for that amount.
Levine stated that during the period of their close association
Gold made no tripe from New York City excepting to Philadelphia upon the
occasion of Gold&#39;s father&#39;s  undoubtedly means mother&#39;s! death.
Levine stated that he and Gold frequently had conversations both
in the laboratory and in the apartment building. These conversations were
limited to one of taro topics, according to Levine. Namely, one, the research
chemical work in which they were both involved or two, the precarious and at
times unknown financial condition of Abraham Brothnan Associates. With
reference to the first item of conversation, Levine described Gold as being
an exceedingly hard woridng individual who put in as much as 12 or Ii hours
per day on his work. He said that both he and Gold often worked 7 days per
week: and for weeks on end.
 With reference to the second point of conversation, Levine stated
that he had accepted the position with Brcthman after the latter had convinced
him that Brothman Associates were on the verge of chemical discoveries of value
which would produce profitable large contracts for the manufacture of the items
discovered. Levine stated that Gold apparently worked for Brothman under a
similar notion. He further stated, however, that both men soon discovered
that Brotbman&#39;s hopes were largely illusory and that Brothman lacked money.
Levine stated that he loaned money to Brothman for which he has never been
repaid and that from his conversations with Gold he is convinced that Gold&#39;s
financial experiences with Brothman were as bad, if not worse, than his own. _
Levine claimed that Gold had gone to Philadelphia and borrowed money from
banks and finance companies in order to assist Brothznsn. Levine stated that
in the spring of 1948 while Abraham Brothman was on a trip to Switzerland,
he examined Brothmans files and concluded that "Brothm.an was a fraud - wasn&#39;t
a good engineer and wasn&#39;t a good chemist. lie was a pretense." Levine said
that aftenmalcing these discoveries he talked than with Harry Gold, Oscar Vago
and Bill Rohal-l. Upon Brothms.n&#39;s return to New York about late May 1948, he
and the abov three individuals confronted Brothman with Levine&#39;s discoveries.
All but Rohall severed their connections with Brcthman as a result.
Levine advised that shortly after being employed by Brothman he heard
that both Brothman and Gold had appeared before-a Federal Grand Jury in 1947.
He believed that this appearance occurred prior to his employment with Brothman
He said that he inquired of Gold concerning this matter and that Gold informed
him. simply that the Grand Jury had found no reason to _indict either Brothman

or himself; that the charges given the Grand_Jm-y were apparently placed
by some unidentified person with ill will. Levine alleged that he accepted
Gold&#39;s explanations and never made additional inquiries of Gold or anyone
else about the Grand Jury appearance. . .
Levine advleed that based upon his personal aeeooietion with Gold,
which included five or eiz occasions when Gold visited, hie apartment for
meale, he would be tmwilling to believe that Gold had at any time been
involved in subversive activities of any nature. He said he could recall
that during his mployment at Brothman Aseoeiatee someone he.d_brought the
Daily Worker into the laboratory on almost every day end left it available .
for all who might be interested to reed it. He said that in hie judgment
Gold. was probably the person who brought the Daily Worker in but he couldnot specifically so state. 
Levine did not -appear to be fully cooperative during the interview
and attempted to evade answering questions. In the course of the interview
he was asked if he had ever been e. member of the Communist Party or any of
its affiliated groups and he specifically denied that he had been. Later he
stated that he wished to ohenge his answer with reference to membership in -
the Communist Party to reflect that he refused to admit or deny affiliation
with the Uoamnunist Party or any of its affiliated organizations.

Usual":
Records at the Philadelphia Geneml Hospital, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, revealed that Harry Gold received a temporary appointment
as a senior biochemist on september 20, 19148 and a permanent appointment
on December zoo: oi the ms year. Cn August, 16, 191:9, no was prmzoted
to ohier research chemist. Hospital records indicated that Gold had not
been absent from this position at any time other than in August, 191:9,
when he was on a vacation. &#39; e
Interviews conducted with Gold&#39;s superiors and co-workers at
the Philadelphia General Hospital reveal that he was considered a very
hard and excellent worker. No derogatory information was developed and
there was no question of his lowlty in any way. 1 number of the individuals
interviewed at the hospital pointed out that, over a period of the past two
months, ta; gradual change in Gold&#39;s mannerisms had been noted in that
he had becune increasingly nervous. The persons interviewed indicated
that they had attributed this change to the fact that Gold had been
working long hours and the nervousness was due to this overwork.
; William A. Steiger, III, M. 1!., Resident physician in lledicine,
Philadelphia General Hospital, said that Gold told him of his previous
employment by A. Brothmen Associates. Gold had further related to
steiger that he was a partner in A. Brothman Associates with an individual
by the name of Rich  phonetic! and others. He said that he and others
had-invested money in the business without any written security and that
Brothmsn had subsequently incorporated the business in mch a manner as
to exclude then financially so that they lost their investment.
With reference to Gold&#39;s vacation in August, 19149, Dr. Daniel
H. Lewis, Philadelphia General Hospital, related that Gold told him he
had traveled to Maine for a two-week vacation. However, according to
Gold, he had become friendly with an unlmcmn individual at a vacation
resort, wound up paying some liquor bills and as a result had no funds
after about three or four days and returned home.
Dr. Henry P. sohvrarz, Brincipal Biochemist, Philadelphia General
Hospital, related that while having lunch with Harry Gold some time in
April, 1950, the latter had mentioned that gas diffusion was an excellent
method of separation of isotopes. Inasmuch as the previous experience
of Gold related to industrial chanistry, this statement sounded rather odd
to Dr. sctrrars and he asked Gold what he knew about atomic energy work.
Gold replied that he knew nothing at all about atomic energy work.

but that he had no knowledge of Gold&#39;s activities outside of business hours.
He added that he visited the Gold home on only one occasion, sometime about
1940 or 1941 when he accompanied Dr. G. T. Reich, Director of Research of the
Pennsylvania Sugar Company, to visit Gold who was convalescing from severe
burns suffered while experimenting in the company&#39;s laboratory. He stated
further that as a gesture oi friendliness he had invited Gold to visit his

at the Pennsylvania Sugar Comparw and has had no contact with him either personally
or by correspondence since the spring oi 1940. She described Gold as a very
mild-mannered and inoffensive sort of person during the time that she knew
him. She stated he did not give any indication oi disloyal tendencies or of

Dr. Gustav &#39;1. Reich, Packard Building, 1422 Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia-, advised on May 29, 1950, that he had been employed by the
Pennsylvania Sugar Company from October 1, 1928 until May 15, 1945. He said
that at the time he left this company, he was Technical Director.
&#39; l Dr. Reich said that Gold was first employed by_the Pennsylvania
Sugar Company about 1929 or 1930 as a bench chemist, and later advanced to a
full chemist position after completing his training at the University of
Pennsylvania and Drexel Institute of Technolog. He said that Gold went to
school in Cincinnati, Ohio, about 1939 or 194.0, and upon his return was hired
as a research chemist. Dr. Reich said he was Gold&#39;s superior at the
Pennsylvania Sugar Company, but because Gold was just an ordinary employee,
he did not pay special attention to him, and consequently was unable to furnish
definite information concerning Gold.
Dr. Reich said that his contacts with Gold were of a business nature,
and he had always looked upon"G&#39;o1d as an industrious, hard-working, and
intelligent chemist. Dr. Reich said that as best as he could recall, Gold
had worked on flue gas for him from about -1936 to 1939. Dr. Reich explained
that the purpose of working with flue gas was to recover carbon dioxide which
is used to make dry ice.
To the best of Dr. Reich&#39;s recollection, Gold worked on yeast
fermentation about 1939 or 1940, as well as research concerning the distilling
of alcohol from grain and molasses. Dr. Reich said that most of the alcohol
being distilled was used by the Government to make synthetic rubber and the
remainder was used by private industry in the -manufacture of solvents.5

With respect to Elton Roland Allison, it should be noted that he
is the subject of an Internal Security - R investigation. On June 9, 1950,
he was interviewed and at that time advised that in late 1933. when he was
a member of the Socialist Party, he decided to obtain a position in Russia.
He contacted s former fellow employee at the atlantio Refining Company,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, William Malisofi, whom he understood knew an
individual in the Amtorg Trading Corporation. In the spring of 1934-, he and
Malisofi together with Allison&#39;s wife went to Amtorg Trading Corporation in
New York City where Malieoff introduced him to Gaik Ovalcimian. Allison &#39;
negotiated with Gvakimien for a position in Russia and approximately October
15, 1934, Allison was notified thatthe necessary housing arrangements had been
made in Russia. He thereupon went to New York and contacted Ovakimian regarding
travel and details concerning the job, salary, etc. As a result, Allison
traveled to Russia with his wife and took up employment in the all-Union
Chemical Trust at Stalinogorsk. Allison advised that he soon became involved
in a quarrel with Mr. Feldnsn, the Director of the Stalinogorsk Plant and as
a result lost his position. He was advised, however, that the Russians would
attempt to obtain a position for him in the Pharmaceutical Trust at Moscow.
Shortly after this, he went to the local militia to renew his living permit
and was advised that this permit had expired and that he had only three days
to leave Russia. His wife then contacted the American Consulate and as a
result, Allison was granted an extension of time in which to leave Russia.
Allison stated that he and his wife traveled from Moscow to Paris via train &#39;
and arrived in New York City approximately April 8, 1956. Shortly thereafter,
he contacted Ovakimian at imtorg Trading Corporation. Ovakimian, knowing
Allison was unemployed, advised=him that he knew oi several companies that _
had aggressive research programs in the chsmioal- field. He furnished Allison
with the names of four individuals and four companies who might possibly be
able to help him. obtain employment. One of these was Mr. Millikin of. the
Hercules Powder Company, Wilmington, Delaware. _ Allison was hired by Millikin
and reported to work at the Hercules Experiment Station.

Subsequently, in 1-"e&#39;orcary 19559, William Mslisoff invited Allison
and his wife to attend a Lincoln&#39;s Day lecture in New fork City by enry
Wallace. On this occasion, Allison found that Ovakimian was occupying a
seat in their box. He believed that arrangements were made at that time
for himself and wife to have dinner with Ovakimian at a 
xture date.
Approximately two or three weeks later, Allison and his wife visited 0vekimian&#39;s
apartment in Brooklyn, New York and Owskimian took the Allisons to dinner and .
later to a night club._ when returning to the Uvskimian apartment in 0vel:imian&#39;s
automobile, a discussion took place concerning Allison&#39;s work and Allison told
Ovakimian that he was working on double base powder and had found it to be
effective. it the time, 0-vakimian made a plea for help, playing on .illison&#39;s
sympathies, according to Allison, and stating that the Russians were in danger
cf war with Germany. Ovakimian asked Allison for information concerning the
powder that he was working on at the Ksnvil Plant of the Hercules Powder
Company. Allison stated that Ovakimian asked him for the layout of the Kenvil
Plant, the production methods, thematerials and e. description of the machines
used at the plant, offering to conmensete Allison in the sum of $500 to $1000.
Allison stated that at the time, he was anti-Nazi and pro-Russian and would
have liked to have given the information to the Russians but did not because
oi his loyalty to the Hercules Powder Company which made him feel that he
could not sell the information because it was not his. He said he told
 hrakimien that if he terminated his employment with the Hercules Ponder Company
he would then feel ethically free to sell the information. He stated he
could not see where the compensation offered by Gvakimian would pay him to
terminate his employment which brought him a good. ealary,_ and therefore, he
told Ovakimian that if he decided to terminate his job or to furnish the
information, he would let 0&#39;ve.1cimie.n know. He said that after talking this
over with his wife, he decided not to furnish the information to Ovskimien
since he could not see himself doing odd jobs for the Russians for the rest
of his life. Allison emphatically denied that he had ever furnished any
information to Uvalcimian. _

On June 27, 1950, Elton R. Allison, 106 Clay Street, was interviewed
concerning Harry Gold. Allison, who is employed by the U. S. Aron; Corps of
Engineers at the Walla walla Army Air Base, Walla Walla, Washington, advised
that he had seen numerous pictures of Harry Gold in newspapers and periodical
news magazines within the past month or six weeks and that he did not recognize
Harry Gold and has no recollection of him. He stated definitely and conclusively
that he does not lmow Harry Gold and has never at any time in his life known
Harry Gold. He added that there is no question in his mind on this matter
of knowledge or recognition. &#39;

the American Chemical Society on January 2, 1952, as a student affiliate,
and at which time Gold resided at 2540 South Phillip Street, Philadelphia,
Pa» Allison stated. that at that time, he, Allison, was studying for his
doctor&#39;s degree in Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, and as a
graduate student he was also working for the University of Pennsylvania as
an instructor of Analytical Chemistry, Allison said that if Gold was en
undergraduate student attending one of the sections being taught AnalyticalChemistry that it is not unlikely that he-, Allison, was listed as a sponsor.
Allison stated that he recalled William 1&#39;. La Lends Jr. who, like himself,
was also an instructor of oneef thee sections of students at the university
of Pennsylvania at that time, and was also listed-as a sponsor of Gold.
Allison explained that the faculty not only encouraged but put a certain
amount of pressure on the students to join the American Chemical Society,
and accordingly at that time it was routine for La Lends to turn in a card
for a student to become a member of the Society, and, as it was necessary &#39;
for a student to have more than one sponsor, Allison, in all probability,
signed a card as a sponsor for Gold upon the recommendation of Le. Lands.
illison stated that he presumed Gold to have been e student of La Lands
as he, Allison, definitely does not recall Gold in any or his classes-
Allison stated that the practice of listing instructors as sponsors
for these student affiliates for the society was very common and prevalent
and that accordingly, he, Allison, could have been listed by La Lands or some
other instructor as a sponsor of Gold and that this practice was so routine
that Allison would have siped the card as a sponsor without any thought on
the matter, and without any knowledge or recollection of Gold.

" I9_ :former Hes York Confidential Informant-
appeared at the New York Office on the evening of June 13&#39;, 1950" and-advised
that he had recognized e press photograph of Gold as identical with an
unknown man he saw at e. meeting in the heme of Bill and Martha Dobkin, 320
West 83:-d Street, Hes York City- This meeting occurred in 1943 or 1944,
according to the informant. This informant described Dobkin as atop
undercover agent of the Communist Party, osteneiblyconfined _to the later  I
Front Section of the Gonmzuniet Party, in which his wife, Martha was formerly
treasurer. The informant stated he could not recall specifically the time
or purpose of the aforementioned meeting. He sumiseethat he met Gold on
that occasion; however, he could not recall whether or not any name use
used by Gold. Furthermore this informant relates he believes he has seem
Gold at other par-ties under O@nist Barty auspices. However, he cannot
recall where or when such occurred. /
On June 14, 1.950, the aforementioned infomant telephonicelly
advised the writer that he recalls that Gold was present at e. party in the
home of Frederick Vanderbilt Field in early 1945, which party was in honor of &#39;
Paul Robeson, who had just returned from an overseas tour of the American
camps. The informant stated that well lcnown Communist figures attended this &#39;
party. He has no recollection that Gold spoke with him, nor did he knee
anything regarding Gold at that time. -

On Hay :51, 1950, New York Confidential Informant Rho had b 1previously been shown photographs of Harry Gold and had state at she did b
not know Harry Gold, telephcnically advised the New York Office that she
had new submitted a report dated May 29, 1950, by mail in which she indicated
that she was able to identify Harry Gold". She explained that upon making
a close study of the-Associated Press photograph of Gold and after due
reflection and thought, she new recalled that she believes she had seen Gold
at a Communist Party meeting, Jamaica Section Headquarters at sometime in l
the past. The informe.nt&#39;s report reads as follows:
"On or about the time of the introduction into Jamaica Section
Headquarters of Oscar James, Jamaica Section Organizer  S0!: Harry Gold was
present; also attending this meeting was Murray Savage, who had very littleto say at that time and who kc? locking and smiling at Harry Gold. Harry

Party- Organiser.!
Upon being further qnestioned regarding this identification of
Gold, the informant stated that she was unable to fit the date of this meeting
at Jamaica Section Headquarters. -" 1
A review of the informant&#39;e reports contained in the files of the
New York Office disclosed that on January 30, 1950, a meeting Ins held at
Jamaica Section Headquarters, which meeting was a short time after Oscar James
took over as Section Organiser. It should be noted that Jamaica Section is a
part of the Qieens county Communist Party organization. The informant felt
that if she were shown her original report, it migzt serve to refresh her
memory and that she could thereby fix the date that she observed Earry Gold
at the Jamaica Section meeting. -
On June 1, 1950, this report was made available to the informant.
She stated that although she had inadvertently omitted Hurray Saw-age&#39;s name
from among those who attended this particular meeting, there was no question
in her mind but that this was the meeting at which she saw Gold. She stated
that the reason why she might have omitted Sawrageis name from this report was
that she had made mental note at the time that he had made only e very few
remarks at this meeting, that they were of little consequence, and that she
had mentally tabbed him as being rather stupid. Inasmuch as she did not 15001
Harry Gold at that time, she did not report his presence at that meeting, not
even by description.
There were contained in her report several items which served to
refresh her memory and which brought her to the definite conclusion that
this was the date and the meeting at which she observed Gold. The address
of the Janaica Section Headquarters is 107-04 New fork Boulevard, Queens
County. She further explained her report of May 29, 1950, by stating that
she was unable to say positively that the individual whom she identified as
Harry Gold came in with Murray Savage because she said it is the habit of the
section and county functionaries -to meet in a room adjoining the meeting hall
and to troop into the meeting in a body. She said, however, that the reason
she was under the impression that he was a closesfx-iend of Murray Savage was
that during the course of his remarks he cppearedtc be addressing than to
Gold and not to the membership in general. She said he gave sidelong smiles
to Gold, apparently making quite s play for his approval. It was her impres-
sion that Gold, who sat on the left of the speaker s platform facing the
membership, was quits fascinated with the proceedings of the membership meet-
ing. It was her impression, further, at that time that Gold we a novice at
Communist Party meeting. F I 1  .

Further photographs of Gold were shown to this informant on June 1,
1950; from the full length, fall face photograph of Gold. She stated that
she was positive of her identification. Her best recollection of the suit he
was wearing on the night of January 30, 1950, was that it was dark, possibly
blue, serge. It should be noted in this regard that this informant is not
aware of the fact that Gold was ever known to have lived or worked in Queens
County. e _ &#39;  1.1:!  l

On June 7, 1950 while Raymond Bennett was being interviewed con-
cerning another matter, Bennett voluntarily brought the Gold case into
discussion. Dennett stated that when he saw the photographs of Harry Gcld
which appeared in the Boston daily press approximately May 25, 1950, he 1
immediately recalled Gold as a person he hadnet on at least one prior r
occasion. Dennett stated that he could not be certain as to the time, manner
or circmnstances of the meeting but that he believed it occurred under one of
the following three circumstances: -
1. Between March 4, 1944 and December, 1945 Dennett was
;- most often atethe offices of the IPR in New York City.
A visitor, for conferences of mutual concern, during
this period on at least twelve occasions, was Philip
Jaffe. Dennett identified Jaffe as the men convicted
of espionage in the frequently publicized Amerasia
case. Dennett had. been introduced to Jaffe by Edward
0. Carter, the International Secretary of the Institute
of Pacific Relations. Very frequently when Jaffe came
to the IPR offices to consult with Dennett concerning
similar articles which were to appear in Jafie&#39;s
"Amerasia" and the IPR&#39;s Pacific Affairs," Jaffe
would bring a visitor with him. This visitor was
seldom twice identical and Dennett believes that
possibly Gold is identical with one of the persons

92 .. _.. n.-- -. -la; --r
If
I  We
Field would invite him to Field&#39;s apartment for a
cocktail following the conclusion oi regular working
hours. it such cocktail hours, Bennett stated he would
meet a number of people whom he had never seen before.
It is noted that Bennett openly regards Field Iith
considerable suspicion as an undercover Commmist
agent. Demnett believes thatmost likely he met
Gold at one such cocktail party.I
3. The third and most remote possibility with reference
to Bennett&#39;s havingmct Gold is in the apartment of
one Eliot Pratt. Demnett stated that Pratt was a
person of similar background to Fred Field but that
he was more likely to be a "liberal" rather than e
"Gomnunist." Dennett stated that Pratt had devoted
his time and energies to liberal cause because he
did not have to work for a living. at about the time
Bennett was employed at the IPR offices, Pratt&#39;s wife-
divorced him with the result that Pratt gave a few cocktail
parties to which Dennett also went. Pratt&#39;s apartment was
in the neighborhood oi Field&#39;s, was similarly furnished
and the groups present were of a similar nature. Bennett
believes that it is remotely possible that he met Gold
at Pratt&#39;s apartment rather than at Field&#39;s. Dennett
does not know Pratt&#39;s Present address but can recall
that in early 1946 he left for the middle west to
associate himself with James Patton in the organiza-
tion oi the National Farmers Union.

Harry Gold advised on interview that he had never heard of
Raymond Bennett, Eliot Pratt or Philip Jaffeand has never attended the
type of cocktail party in New York City described by Bennett. _

&#39; On interview lay 22, 1950, Bentley stated she not recalls tlut
in the Fall ct 1940 Jacob Boles indicated to her that it was then necessary,
on orders from Golos&#39; superiors, for hi: to turn Brothnan ever to a Russian
contact. 8he further declared that doles principal indicated that inasmuch
as neither she nor aclcs knew axqthiug or the technical aspects of the
material which Bretbmen was handing over, it was necessary to expedite
handling of this material by turning Brothnan over to someone with a
technical background. Bentley stated that sometime later, Boles told her
to inform Brothman that he was to be turned orer to a new contact. Bentley
pointed out that Gclce never turned over any of his espionage sources
unless he had been specifically instructed to do so by his superiors.
Bentleg continued that she later met with Brothnan in New York
and told bin of oloe&#39; request that he be handled by scneone else. Sim
recalled that Brothnan reacted unfarorably to the uggestion, and that
it accordingly was necessary for Goloe to see him subsequently regarding
the desired change in handling him. Bentley declared that the transfer
of Brothman to the new contact was effected by obtaining Brothmanw auto
license number, requesting him. to park his car and remain in it at some
specified place on 8th or 9th Avenue in uptown Manhattan, and that the
new contact would locate him there, get into the car and accept any
material he had. Sometime later, Brotlman telephoned Bentley and told her
be had lost touch with his new contact. Bentley informed Golcs oi this
report from Brothman but never heard anything more about it.
Bentley was unable definitely to identity the photograph of Harxy
Gold but was of the opinion she possibly net a man with somewhat similar
facial characteristics in New York and that such meeting probably was
concerned with her employment at World Touri ate, Inc.  HY tel 5/23/50!

Budenz,sras esployed on the "Midwest Daily Record and was no;-Icing with the
Soviet Secret Police, or during 194$ when Golos was in contact with Budens for

went to this address carrying the hook entitled "Joseph and his Brother" by

to furnish an apparently legitimate reason -for looking for Fuchs, on the &#39;
theory that he hsd found the hook and was returning it. Gold said he still

Pratt informed hin that Kristel was at the beach for the smsner.
Ibo nan, who was not known to her and who did not identify himself
to her best recollection, told Ira. Pratt that he did not live in
Boston, that he had traveled some distance, and that he was a
friend ct Kristel Eeinenenh tanilv and always called on the Heinensns when
in this area. &#39;
Further questioning developed the rollosringinfonsationa
Hrs. Pratt can recall no other oallera at the Heinenan home during this
period. Hrs. Pratt remembers specifically that she had offered to
furnish the visitor with Robert Heinss:an"s addreds in lynn, Iassaohusetts.
Ire. Pratt can recall that the visitor was not interested in Robert
Hoineman and did not wish Heinenams address.
llrs. Pratt also stated that the sane visitor, referred to
in the previous paragraph, returned to the Eeinenan home at a later
date. She is unable to fix the time exactly, but does not believe
that it was during the Oh:-ioimas season because during the latter
period she had worked several consecutive days at the Heineman home.
During the Christmas season, 1944, llrs. Pratt stated she remained at
the Heinenan home on a 24-hour-per-day basis in order to do the cocking
as well as the housework: during the holiday visit of Robert Heinemsn&#39;s
parents at 144 Lekeview avenue. Hrs. Pratt stated that to her best
recollection there were no other visitors to the Heineman home during
the Christmas holidays while Robert Heinsunan&#39;s parents were there.
It is noted that Robert Heineman corroborates lire. Pratt&#39;s memory with
reference to the latter item.
It is Hrs. Pratt&#39;s test reoolleotion that the visitor,
referred to in earlier paragraphs, sane to the Heinaman home sometime
after January 1, 1945. It is her best reoolleotion that either Kristel
Heinene.n&#39;s brother, whom. the not once, or Konstantin was present.

her visitor. llrs. Pratt refused to state that the photographs of

on Hay 22, 19%, he advised that when he visited the Eeinemsn
residenoe in Cambridge, Mseeaohnsetts, in September , 19-14, to
loeate Fuohs he left an envelope containing a sane and telephone
number with the request that it be handed to Fuchs who was to use
the telephone number to reeenteot Gold. Gold stated that he believed
the first name was Jerome, or at least began with sJ"and was somewhat
similar to Kaplun  ph!, though this was not the name. Gold later
eap lained that this name and telephone number were furnished him by
Anatoli 1. Yskovlev prior to the time he went to Cambridge, and that
Yslcovlew instructed that the name and number be left with Hrs. Hsineman,
together with s notation that Fuchs should oall this number between
oertein times. It was Gold&#39;s impression that the hours were between
8:00 and 8:50 or 8:00 and 9:00 in the morning, inferring that the
individual bad regular working hours. Gold was shown the name Iinofei
Yltovlevioh Ksploun, the name of an Miter; official, whose telephone
number was l
sdemy 2-267?. Gold replied that the first and seoond names
as well as the telephone exchange did not appear familiar. He said
that tin telephone exchange OOlumbue sewed to "ring a bell in eon-

In a signed statement dated June 16, 1950, Thomas L. Black said that
he knew Harry Gold had made a trip to Albuquerque, New Meadco some time be-
fore the test atomic bomb was exploded in New Headco because Gold telephoned
him from a hotel in Albuquerque and requested. Black to telegraph some funds,
probably 5550. Black said that he did not have funds at the time and sent
nothing. He further stated that he believed the call was in the late after-

that these records had been destroyed and that he would continue to search
for them. Mr. Briehn located the carbon copy sheets of the folio reflecting
the hotel registration of Gold for June 3 and 11:, 1945 and for September 19,
1945. These folio records did not reflect a long distance telephone call
but they did reflect one local call the identity of which cannot be ascer-

BeBank Accounts .
Investigation determined that Herr; Gold opened an account at the
Rea]. Estate Trust Company, 15th and Sensom Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
on September ll, 19% and closed it on August 29, 1947. Detailed information
concerning the deposits and withdrawals from this account which should not be
made public without the issuance of a subpoena duces tecum wascon.fidentia11y
made available by Mr. George Leming, head bookkeeper of the Real Estate Trust
Company.
&#39; On July 18, 1950, Harry Gold advised that his account with the-
Resl Estate Trust Company had been opened by 1&#39;u&#39;Jn to handle funds necessary
in carrying out his espionage activity. He said that shortly prior to the
opening of this account his superior "John"  gnatoli Yakovlev! told him
that it_was impossible for Gold to continue doing his work for the Soviets
and incurring heavy expenses in travel without getting some sort of reim-
bursement, at least for the expenses. Gold said that he consented to do
this and thereafter obtained money from Yalcovlev some times after the ex-
penses had already been incurred and on other occasions prior to the time
that he expected to take a trip. Other than the items mentioned immediately
hereinafter Gold said that he probably received amounts of $40 to T350 on
four or five occasions from Yekovlev for expenses which amounts he kept
and did not deposit in his account. _
The deposits to Gold&#39;s account in the Reel Estate Trust Company
were discussed with,Gold. Gold stated that the £5300 cash deposit on
December_ 4, 19:24 represented that amount given to him by Anatoli A.
Yskovlev. Gold said that this money was given to him by Yakovlev for
expenses in connection with his trips to meet Alfred D. Slack. Gold
further advised that the checkfor $500 deposited on February 9, 196.5
was a loan which he himself had secured from the Pennsylvania sugar compsrw &#39;
for the purpose of financing his espionage activity. Gold advised that the
£51106 cash deposit made on February 24, 191.5 represented cash given to him
by &#39;1a1covlev for expenses which had occurred in contacting Alfred D. Slack
and Fuchs. A I

he would be unable to explain large Ii1&#39;J1dJ&#39;B1I&#39;8.18 or deposits. It nae for
thie reason that he opened the above-mentioned account at the Real Estate

ment the question of instituting prosecution of Gold. 1 The Department
decided to proceed against Gold under Sectionjh. of title 50, U. S. Code,

phonicslly furnished to SAG Soheidt at 8:15 PJI. on Hey 23, 1950, end he

on Hay 23, 1950 before U. S. District _Ju.d.ge James P. Bcdrsnsry, Eastern
District of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Court permitted
Gold to reed the complaint, and Gold immediately admitted he was the
individual named therein. On the recommendation of the Department, Judge
HoGrsnsry set bail at $100,000 and Gold was committed in default thereof
to the Hayamensing Prison, Philadelphia, Pennsylvanie. Hearing on the
matter was set for June 12, _l950, before Judge llcdrenery. Immediately
after being remanded in default of bail, Gold indicated that he desired to
talk to his brother, Joseph Gold, for the purpose or securing an attorney.
Judge McGranery advised Gold that the lntter&#39;s Attorney could get in touch
with the Court in the event it was desired to waive e hearing.
On Hay 21,, 1950, Gold was transferred to the Holmesburg County
Prison in Philadelphia because of crowded conditions st Hoyameneing.
Gold has indicated several times that for the sake oi his father
and brother, he is desirous or conferring with an attorney. On" Hey 21,, 1950,
Aaron Miller, a Ph.I.1.Bd6].phi8._ Attorney, edvieed the Philadelphia Division that
after conferring with Gold, at the request of Joseph Gold, he has
concluded that he does not desire to represent Gold. Mr. I-liller declared
he use oi the opinion that Gold would need an attorney or more ability and
stature than he, and further, that he did not desire to become involved
in a case or this type. 
On Hay 26, 1950, the Superintendent of the Holmeeburg County

he informed Agents that he- use going to ask the Superintendent of the prison
for permission to contact Judge llcGranery_for the purpose of having an
attorney appointed to represent him. Gold pointed out to the Agents, howi-
ever, that he wanted to continue to furnish all relevant information in his
possession, that his chief reason for desiring counsel was for his fathers
sake, and that otherwise there was not much purpose in securing an attorney
because he is guilty.  Philadelphia telotype 5/as/so!
On Mag 29, 1950, Gold requested interviewing Agents to make

informed the Judge that he would like to have counsel appointed for him,
and stipulated that the attorney should he a man oi such character as to
be above reproach and one who has the confidence of the Court, the press
and the public. Gold stated further to Judge llcilranery that his funds were
depleted, that he has less than $200, in addition to a doubtful claim against
s former employer in New York, and that he did not desire to burden hisfamily with the expenses of counsel for him. Further, that he wanted to and

represented at the general press conference held by Judge Kcdrenery, that -
in addition to the above statements, Gold had informed the Court that he
intended to plead guilty. Subsequently, on Kay 31, 1950, Judge kiotiranery
advised the Philadelphia Division that he had talked to Gerald Gleason,
United States attorney in Philadelphia, as a courtesy to advise the latter
that he might desire to be in Court on June 1, 1950, when Gold was scheduled
to appear. According to Judge llc
ranery, Ir. Gleason desired the Judge to
order him to appear, which action the Judge refused to tales. Hr. l&#39;316ason_:;.-

miles of the prosecution, the subject could be removed without e hearing,
and that this procedurejwas going to be followed relative to Gold, Judge

in this case because it was of such importance that he was not going to take
any chance of something going wrong. Judge llcGranery further related to
the Philadelphia Office that Hr. Gleason replied that he had consulted with.
the Department and that the Department agreed that the removal should he
made eithout a hearing. Judge Moth-anery declared that he had control of this
matter, that no move could be made without his consent, and that a" romoiralhearing would be held. _  llemorandum from Belmont to Ladd 5/31/50!

Kttorney Hamilton conferred with S33 Cornelius and indicated
uncertainty as to whether he should insist upon obtaining copies of any
signed statements which Gold might give to the FBI, stating that he owes
his client the obligation of looking out for his interests,and that while .
he in no nay wanted-to interfere with the Bureaule investigation, he was
considering this question. .
On June 1, 1950, Special lgent in charge Arthur Cornelius, Jr-, re-
quested permission from Goldie attorney, Hr. John D. Hamilton to interview
Harry Gold and to search the Gold residence at 6823 Kindred Street. Later

Harry Gold, and that there was no objection on the part of either Harry
Gold, Joseph Gold or Hamilton to the searching of the Gold residence.
According13;on June 2 and Juno 3, 1950, such a search was conducted.
Considerable material relating to Harry Goldls espionage activity was

On June 6, 1950, SAG Cornelius received a letter from Mr. Hamlton
the text of which is quoted as follows:
- "In my only interview with Harry Gold, which was held as you
know&#39;on Thursday, June lst, he stated to me that it was his desire to
give the Federal Bureau of Investigation all of the information
concerning his activities in connection with the charges which have
been laid against him. Having accepted the appointment oy the Court
in the spirit that I could be of public assistance as well as carrying
out a duty, I encouraged nr. Gold in his determination to make a full
disclosure of the facts. In accordance with this viewpoint I advised
you I had no objection as Mr. Goldie attorney to the continued
conferences between him and the Agents of your Bureau. As you are
aware, Mr. Gold&#39;s decision to plead guilty to the charges carries with
it not only the admission of guilt, but also the question of the
severity of the sentence imposed by the Court. Under all the
circumstances my primary interest as his legal representative must
he directed to the latter. In this connection I an concerned with
statements which he might make to you or your associates, not as to the
factual contents thereof, but to the extent that he may inadvertently
through the misuse of language or otherwise acknowledge a motive or
intent in connection with the commission of te crime other than that
which he contends impelled him. In view of what I have written I must,
therefore, ask that Mr. Gold should not be requested to sign any state-
 ments heretofore made which are unsigned at the moment or which may be
taken hereafter without the opportunity o
&#39;eithen myself, or Mr. Ballard

as my associate, reviewing such statements before signature. In this
connection I should like also to have the opportunity of reviewing
statements which he may have previously signed. This request is in no
way intended to prevent or preclude any further interviews between Mr.
Gold and yourself or your associates as long as he sees fit to give
further information. A copy of this letter is being sent to Hr. Gold
at Holmesburg .  Philadelphia teletype 6-650! &#39;
On the afternoon of June 6, 1950, ltr. Hamilton telephonically infomed;
SAC Cornelius that it was hie desire that the restrictions placed by him in his
letter to Hr. Cornelius under date of June 5, 1950, be withdrawn. He said that
he had conferred with Gold since writing the letter, and that Gold definitely
