...Gold's story, Sobell's lawyers claimed that he never met Greenglass when he said he did. They said Gold's hotel registration card was forged (supposedly by the FBI). Wholly unproved, ruled Judge Weinfeld, quietly noting that Sobell's petition contained no affidavit from the one person who knows the facts-the still available room clerk who presumably handled the card...
...claimed that the Government suppressed recordings of 1950 interviews between Gold and his lawyer, which might have revealed perjury in his story of the Greenglass meeting. Such suppression, said Weinfeld, was impossible. Because the recordings were protected by the "lawyer-client privilege," they were not even given to the FBI until 21 years after the trial. Moreover, said the judge, "a careful reading of the transcripts of the recordings and all other material, rather than supporting petitioner's charges, strongly corroborates Gold's trial testimony." In short, ruled Weinfeld, Sobell has nothing to complain about...

Edgar Hoover, that Soviet officials would use their U.S. consulates as espionage centers...
...Hoover Letters. Hoover's testimony, offered to a House committee in 1965, has been the principal roadblock to ratification. Last week Rusk sought to minimize its impact by citing a letter from the director agreeing that the FBI could handle any increased security problems resulting from the treaty.

Though the FBI could take on the increased burden, Hoover...
Hoping he could still collect, Ernst took the paintings to the Dayton Art Institute, where the director, Siegfried Weng, asked for advice from the FBI and New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The paintings were declared genuine, but technically they were enemy property, and the U.S. promptly impounded them. In fact, they were nearly sold at auction until the State Department intervened, pointing out that as the property of a public museum, they belonged to the German people. The works were then deposited in the National Gallery-in ground floor vaults...
