  • Manhattan Project Spies and Oak Ridge, Part 1 (As Published in the Oak Ridger’S Historically Speaking Column on December 1, 2014)
    Manhattan Project Spies and Oak Ridge, part 1 (As published in The Oak Ridger’s Historically Speaking column on December 1, 2014) This is the first in a series of four Historically Speaking columns on Manhattan Project spies with connections to Oak Ridge. For many years, I was not sure that any spies were actually in Oak Ridge. Bill Wilcox and I discussed this at length and he too was doubtful at that time. Even though some names were mentioned, evidence seemed lacking. However, of late, so much additional information has been declassified and made available to the public regarding those activities of some 65 – 70 years ago. Much more is now known regarding the detailed activities of those who passed sensitive classified information to the Russians during the Manhattan Project. We will look first at George Koval, next at Klaus Fuchs and finally at Al Slack. Recently there seems to be more and more information coming available about spies during the Manhattan Project. The Spy Who Stole The Urchin: George Koval’s Infiltration of the Manhattan Project by Owen N. Pagano, an Atomic Heritage Foundation intern, posted on the Atomic Heritage Foundation’s web site: http://www.atomicheritage.org/ is the most recent information I have seen about George Koval. Koval is the ONLY official Soviet spy known to have infiltrated the Manhattan Project and the early Cold War era developments. His deep penetration only came to light in the recent past after over 50 years of obscurity. Some of the most notable spies were: George Koval; Theodore “Ted” Hall who was never caught; David Greenglass; Ethel and Julius Rosenberg; Harry Gold; and Klaus Fuchs.

  • Manhattan Project Spies and Oak Ridge, Part 4 (As Published in the Oak Ridger’S Historically Speaking Column on December 29, 2014)
    Manhattan Project Spies and Oak Ridge, Part 4 (As published in The Oak Ridger’s Historically Speaking column on December 29, 2014) Continuing with the fourth and final installment of the Historically Speaking series on Manhattan Project Spies with connections to Oak Ridge, we now examine Al Slack, according to Dr. John Googin’s autobiography, Al Slack was a shift supervisor at Y-12 during the Manhattan Project. Alfred Dean Slack was born in 1906. He worked at the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, NY, where he first sold commercial information first to Richard Briggs, thinking it was going to a competitor of Kodak, but learned it was actually going to the Soviet Union. Later after Briggs sudden death, Slack was handed off by Soviet agents to Harry Gold who became the courier to provide the information to the Soviet Union. Harry Gold (December 11, 1911 - August 28, 1972) was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Russian Jewish immigrants. By 1940, Gold was a recruited Soviet agent assigned the codename GUS, or GOOSE. As often happens with Historically Speaking, these articles on spies in Oak Ridge have produced several contacts with people who have additional information. I received a contact from Mike Finn concerning Al Slack. Mike said, “I have a personal connection. My family has had a farm in Webster, NY (just outside Rochester) for over a century. From time to time I heard stories about the spy who lived next door in the late 1930’s, early 40’s, and who moved to Oak Ridge. They mentioned the name of Harry Gold.” Mike continued, “I was a bit skeptical and wanted to know more.

  • George Koval
    George Koval APPENDIX: GEORGE KOVAL At the March 26, 1933 ICOR national executive plenum held in New York, national secretary Shloime Almazov admitted that some of the Americans who had emigrated to Birobidzhan had returned home, unprepared for pioneer work. But others, remarked Almazov, such as the Koval family, had adjusted and were doing very well.1 The ICOR in June 1935 printed a letter that George Koval had written to relatives in the U.S. Born in Sioux City, IA, in 1913, he had migrated to Birobidzhan with his parents Abraham and Ethel, themselves originally immigrants from Telekhani in Belarus, in tsarist Russia, and two brothers, Isiah (Shiye) and Gabriel. At the time of writing he was studying engineering at the Mendeleev Institute of Chemical Technology in Moscow. Abraham Koval had been secretary of the Sioux City branch of the ICOR.2 Two years later, Arkady Rovner wrote in Nailebn-New Life that the Kovals had been well-to-do and had owned a spacious home in Sioux City. Yet they gave up their “well-established” life so that their three sons would have in Birobidzhan those opportunities that they could no longer expect in the crisis-ridden United States. The Kovals were said to “bless the day” that they decided to emigrate. They were now distinguished citizens and patriots of the “great Soviet Fatherland.” In the summer of 1936 the family was visited by Abraham Koval’s sister and her husband, also ICOR members, who returned to Sioux City “overbrimming with enthusiasm for what they saw in the Soviet Union generally, and in Biro- Bidjan in particular.” The Kovals, Rovner declared, were participating in “the rejuvenation of a nation, the building of a new Jewish nation in the Jewish Autonomous Territory.”3 Also in the summer of 1936, while on a visit to Birobidzhan, Paul Novick met Shiye Koval, who was now one of the best tractor drivers on the Icor commune.

  • THE SPY WHO STOLE the URCHIN: George Koval’S Infiltration of the Manhattan Project
    THE SPY WHO STOLE THE URCHIN: George Koval’s Infiltration of the Manhattan Project Owen N. Pagano The George Washington University B.A., summa cum laude, History Class of 2014 Pagano 2 More than six decades after the United States developed and used the first atomic bomb against Japan, information surrounding the top-secret Manhattan Project continues to emerge. On November 2, 2007, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin posthumously awarded Soviet citizen George A. Koval with the Hero of the Russian Medal, the nation’s highest civilian honor, for “his courage and heroism while carrying out special missions” and acknowledged Koval’s contribution to the Soviet Union’s development of the atomic bomb. In the Kremlin’s press release on this curious event, Putin noted that Koval, who operated under the codename Delmar, “provided information that helped speed up considerably the time it took for the Soviet Union to develop an atomic bomb of its own, thus ensuring the preservation of strategic military parity with the United States.” According to the press release, Koval was the “only Soviet intelligence officer to penetrate the U.S. secret atomic facilities producing the plutonium, enriched uranium and polonium used to create the atomic bomb.”1 News of Koval’s infiltration of the Manhattan Project shocked the American intelligence community and has prompted a complete reassessment of Soviet espionage during the Second World War. Over the years, government officials and scholars have identified nearly a dozen individuals who spied on the American bomb project for the Soviet Union, especially at Los Alamos in New Mexico.
