While inquiry in this mater has been directed to
verifying, if possible, the allegations of WEINGARTEN thatRICH solicited him to furnish information to the Soviets,
it is not inconceivable that GOLDFIELD, by reason of his
Communist background and position nth the Chemical Warfare
~Servioe, may also have been solicited by RICH or others.
It is also suggested that Newark, in interview,be alert to any indication that GOLDFIELD might be willing
to discuss his own C.P. membership.

Re New York letter dated 2/24/66 and Bureauletter dated 3/11/66. , s '
- This investigation is predicated upon information
= that IRVING WEINGARTEN has alleged that RICH, a former
classmate from City College of New York approached him in
Hay, 1943, and told him that he could send any information
WEINGARTEN could obtain to a Russian officer. WEINGARTEH
has stand that the alleged approach was made at a dinner
in Hay, 1943, at a Chinese restaurant in Boston, Hass.,
and was possibly a farewell type dinner. He has stated
that present at the dinner were ADRIAN BLUMENFELD and his
wife, CRAIG REYNOLDS and his wife, JOSEPH GOLDFIELD,
STANBEY RICH, and he WEINGABTEH! and his wife.
0
BLUMEHFELD, REYNOLDS, and RICH have been interviewed
and do not substantiate WEINGARTEH's allegation.
RICH, when interviewed in February, 1966,advised ,
that he was employed at the Harvard Underwater Sound Laboratory,
Cambridge, Mass,, in February or March, 1943, and that no former
students from CCNY were employed at the Harvard Underwater .
Sound Laboratory and that he knew or no such persons employedo r,;.,or taking training in the Baton area at that time. 1
New York report dated B/16/50 captioned, "STANLEY '{
ROBERT RICH, ESP - R", on page 7, indicates that a review of
personnel records at the Naval Supply Depot, Hechanicshurg,
Pa., reflects that RICH resigned from the Brooklyn Navy Yard
on 6/10/43 to accept employment with the National Defense
Research Committee, Underwater Sound Laboratory, Cambridge,

NOTE:
Goldfield is currently employed by Johns-Manville
Corporation in the engineering and research center at Finderne,
New Jersey. He is not working on any classified contracts.
This investigation is based on information furnished by Irving
Weingarten that Rich, a former classmate from the College oi _
the City of New York, had approached him in Hay, 1943, soliciting
information which he said could be furnished to a Soviet.
Ieingarten said this approach was made at a dinner at s Chinese
restaurant at Boston, Massachusetts, in Hay, 1943. Rich at -e. g
that time was at the Harvard Underwater Sound Laboratory and
' Weingarten was in the U. S. Army Air Corp attending school at
Harvard. Two other men allegedly at this dinner were interviewed
and were enable to recall the dinner. The third nan who was
also at that dinner is Joseph Goldfield. We did not interview
a him before we interviewed Rich since he has a Communist Party
1 i h I th interview background, since we felt he might to 1 R c o e .
Rich has been interviewed and denied makin an such approach.' Weingarten is cnrrent1y and the validity
llt of his information is doubtful, however, s felt we shouldexplore this fully by interviewing Goldfield. £51:LO
