Pash and ALSOS group's connection to Manhattan Project seem to connect to JFK assassination.

The Defense Industrial Security Command had its beginnings when J. Edgar Hoover in the early 1930's organized the police force of the fledgling Tennessee Valley Authority at the request of David Lillienthal. The police force covered the entire TVA from Knoxville, Tennessee through Huntsville and Florence, Alabama into Kentucky and back through the eastern portion of Tennessee into southern Kentucky. This was one of the first federal agencies with a separate police force. This force grew and Lillienthal took it forward to cover the Atomic Energy Commission, thus tying it into the Army Intelligence Service.
L.M. Bloomfield, a Montreal, CANADA lawyer bearing the reputation as a sex deviate, the direct supervisor of all contractual agents with J. Edgar Hoover's Division Five, was the top co-ordinator for the network planning the execution. A Swiss corporation, Permindex, was used to head five front organizations responsible for furnishing personnel and supervisors to carry out assigned duties.
The five groups under Permindex and their supervisors were:
1. The Czarist Russian, Eastern European and Middle East exile organization called SOLIDARISTS, headed by Ferenc Nagy, ex-Hungarian Premier, and John DeMenil, Russian exile from Houston, Texas, a close friend and supporter of Lyndon Johnson for over thirty years.
2. A section of the AMERICAN COUNCIL OF CHRISTIAN CHURCHES headed by H.L. Hunt of Dallas, Texas.
3. A Cuban exile group called FREE CUBA COMMITTEE headed by Carlos Prio Socarras, ex-Cuban President.
4. An organization of United States, Caribbean, and Havana, Cuba gamblers called the Syndicate headed by Clifford Jones, ex-Lieutenant Governor of Nevada and Democratic National Committeeman, and Bobby Baker of Washington, D.C. This group worked closely with a Mafia family headed by Joe Bonnano.
5. The SECURITY DIVISION of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) headed by Wernher Von Braun, head of the German Nazi rocket program from 1932 through 1945. Headquarters for this group was the DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL SECURITY COMMAND at Muscle Shoals Redstone Arsenal in Alabama and on East Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio.
The Defense Industrial Security Command is the police and espionage agency for the U.S. munitions makers. DISC was organized by J. Edgar Hoover; William Sullivan, his chief assistant, is in direct command. We shall later examine the involvement of a large number of the DISC agents including Clay Shaw, Guy Bannister, David Ferrie, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby and others with Permindex's Louis Mortimer Bloomfield of Montreal, Canada in charge....
J. Edgar Hoover was named first Director of the FBI in 1924, and he immediately organized the anti-communist Division Five for espionage and counter-espionage work which President Roosevelt made official in 1936. Actually, Division Five was in existence as the General Intelligence Division of the Justice Department since 1919. Hoover, an Assistant Attorney General and head of the GID, had used the Czarist Russians in tracing the Bolsheviks during the Red Scare and Palmer raids of that period.2
1924 was the year the Communists finally took complete control of Russia after five years of resistance by the imperial Czarists. From 1918 to 1923, the leaders of the Czarists were leaving Russia with vast fortunes by the tens of thousands. One of those escaping Russians was John DeMenil, presently of Houston, Texas, who fled to France, married into the Schlumberger family, moved to Caracas, Venezuela and then to Houston, Texas before World War II. He is presently the Chairman of the Board of Schlumberger Corporation, a world-wide oil well service company.
The forerunners of the Solidarists have been described by James Wechsler of the New York Post and other writers, before and during World War II, as the Ukrainian Fascists. The Solidarists expanded this group to include all East European exiles, including those of various religious denominations. Of course, these Russian exiles in all countries of the world were violently anti-communist and considered themselves as a government in exile with headquarters in Munich, Germany.3 One has only to glance at Czarist Russian history to learn that these people are the most proficient dealers in assassination the world has ever known.
George DeMohrenschildt, a Russian emigre who refused to join the Solidarists and who was familiar with the workings of espionage groups and had worked with them in the past, testified that J. Edgar Hoover, using Division Five of the FBI, was the planner of the assassination of President Kennedy. Through DeMohrenschildt's testimony before the Commission and his documentation, the connection of the espionage section of the FBI and the Assassination has been established.4...
Boris Theodore Pash was born 20 June 1900 in California, the son of an Eastern Orthodox Russian priest who had been sent abroad by his church in the 1880s. The father was serving as Dean of San Francisco's Eastern Orthodox Cathedral when it was destroyed by fire in the great earthquake of 1906. Consequently he took on responsibility for building a new church for his congregation in the central area of San Francisco. Young Boris retained vivid memories of the earthquake and its aftermath. His mother was of Serbian extraction but was born in the United States. When Boris was ten years old his father was called back to duties in Russia, taking his family with him into a country utterly new to them....Called to active duty in June 1940, he was posted to the Presidio in San Francisco, as counter-intelligence chief of Ninth Corps headquarters. ...The Alsos force landed in Italy and proceeded to Rome. Subsequently they entered France from England soon after D-Day, and were among the first American troops to enter Paris, seizing a sizeable cache of uranium and securing valuable information. The 1269th Engineer Combat Battalion joined the Alsos task force for the final thrust into Germany ....After the war he served as Chief of the Foreign Liaison section on General Douglas MacArthur's staff in Tokyo (1946-47). Later he was the Army's representative to the Central Intelligence Agency (1948-51), and then served as Special Forces planning officer with the U.S. forces in Austria (1952-53). He served as Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence for the Sixth Army (1953-56), and was on the staff of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Guided Missiles from 1956 until his retirement in 1957. Shortly before his 95th birthday, Colonel Pash died in Greenbrae, California, on 11 May 1995.The American Forces had been ordered to blow up the cellar. The then parish priest took Colonel Pash into the baroque Schlo�kirche (caslte church) directly above the cellar, and explained that the destruction of the cellar would also mean the destruction of the church. Knowing this, the Americans confined themselves to limited demolition operations in the cellar. The scientists were interned in the "Farmhall" country house near Cambridge by the Allied Powers and kept prisoners there until January 1946 ("as guests of His Majesty").Their conversations during this time were recorded by the English secret service. While prisoners, they heard a BBC news broadcast in August 1945 that the Americans had dropped two atom bombs on Japan. This terrible news and the deaths of so many people resulting from the bombs caused much concern among the scientists. Hahn was suffering very much from these terrible events. In January 1946, the British released the German scientists.

Toward the end of World War II, ten German nuclear physicists were captured by American and British forces and sent to Farm Hall, An English country house near Cambridge for six months. While there they were interrogated about Germany's nuclear research. Farm Hall was a comfortable prison, but it was bugged and their every word was secretly monitored by British agents. Now in a revised and updated second edition, Hitler's Uranium Club: The Secret Recordings At Farm Hall is a complete collection of transcripts made from those secret recordings in 1945. Expertly annotated by Jeremy Bernstein and put in context by Bernstein (and with an informative introduction by David Cassidy). This startling and sobering set of documents provide an insight into the thoughts and feelings of these ten scientists as they considered the destruction of the Third Reich, the failure of their beloved "German Physics", and the roles they played in the Nazi war effort. Hitler's Uranium Club is a unique, informative, invaluable, and at times unsettling contribution to World War II studies.http://jchemed.chem.wisc.edu/Journal/issues/1997/feb/abs204.html
The transcripts were kept TOP SECRET for 47 years and were finally released recently. They give fascinating insights into the personalities of the guests and invaluable information on what the Germans really understood about the physics and chemistry of a nuclear reactor and an atomic bomb.
The Farm Hall transcripts clearly establish that (a) the Germans on August 6, 1945 did not believe that the Allies had exploded an atomic bomb over Hiroshima that day; (b) they never succeeded in constructing a self-sustaining nuclear reactor; (c) they were confused about the differences between an atomic bomb and a reactor; (d) they did not know how to correctly calculate the critical mass of a bomb; (e) they thought that "plutonium" was probably element 91. The Farm Hall transcripts contradict the self-serving and sensationalist writings about German efforts that have appeared during the past fifty years.
After his release in January 1946, Heisenberg settled in G�ttingen. He reorganized the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics with the aim of making it a centre of excellence in physics so as to rejuvenate research in the newly created West Germany. It was renamed the Max Planck Institute for Physics in 1948. The main areas of research were experimental and theoretical high-energy physics, and astrophysics. The Institute was moved to Munich in 1958 and renamed the Max Planck Institute for Physics and Astrophysics. Although Heisenberg was an honorary professor at the Universities of G�ttingen and Munich, he never held a full professorship after the war. Heisenberg also became more involved in the activities and research at CERN.
Heisenberg did not approve of the insular existence of science and scientists, and their subordination to the political masters. He sought a more active role for science in directing public affairs. He did find a sympathetic audience in the new federal chancellor, Konrad Adenauer. The German Research Council was founded in 1949 with this express purpose. Its president was Heisenberg and it had 15 leading scientists as its members. In Germany, science had always been under the control of the ministries of culture of the provinces. The cultural ministers had a parallel organization, the Emergency Association of German Science. The scientists� council had to bow down to the politicians� maneuverings. The two associations were merged in 1951 to form the German Research Society. Heisenberg was elected to its Presidium. He was responsible for coordinating nuclear research as the chief of its Commission for Atomic Physics.

The German scientists interned at Farm Hall were described by their British overseers as follows:
Professor Otto Hahn, a radio-chemist from the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute of Chemistry in Berlin-Dahlem (ultimately the Max Planck Institute), who received the 1944 Nobel Prize for Chemistry:
"The most friendly of the detained professors. Has a very keen sense of humor and is full of common sense. He is definitely disposed to England and America. Has been very shattered by the announcement of the use of the atomic bomb as he feels responsible. "
Professor Max von Laue, a nuclear physicist at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute, and the 1914 recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics:
"A shy, mild-mannered man. He cannot understand the reason for his detention as he professes to have had nothing whatever to do with uranium or the experiments at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute. . . . He is extremely friendly and is very well disposed to England and America."
Professor Walter Gerlach, a professor from the Institute of Physics in Munich with a background in German torpedo work, who was appointed to the physics section of the Reich Research Council:
"Has always been very cheerful and friendly but from his monitored conversations is open to suspicion because of his connections with the Gestapo. As the man appointed by the German government to organize the research work on uranium, he considers himself in the position of a defeated general and appeared to be contemplating suicide when the announcement [of the bombing of Hiroshima] was made."
Professor Werner Heisenberg, a physics professor and director of the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute; recipient of the 1932 Nobel Prize for Physics:
"Has been very friendly and helpful ever since his detention. He has taken the announcement of the atomic bomb very well indeed and seems to be genuinely anxious to cooperate with British and American scientists."
Professor Paul Hartek, a physical chemist from Hamburg and the driving force behind much of German atomic research:
"A very charming personality. Appears to be interested only in his research. He has taken the announcement of the atomic bomb very philosophically and has put forward a number of theories as to how it has been done."
Professor Carl F. von Weizs�cker, a theoretical physicist at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute:
"Outwardly very friendly and appears to be genuinely cooperative. He has stated, both directly and in monitored conversations, that he was sincerely opposed to the Nazi regime and anxious not to work on an atomic bomb. Being the son of a diplomat, he is something of one himself. It is difficult to say whether he is genuinely prepared to work with England and America."
Dr. Karl Wirtz, a physicist at the Berlin-Dahlem Institute:
"A clever egoist. Very friendly on the surface, but cannot be trusted. He will cooperate only if it is made worth his while."
Dr. Eric Bagge, a physicist at the Leipzig Institute of Theoretical Physics:
"A serious and very hard-working young man. He is completely German and unlikely to cooperate."
Dr. Horst Korsching, a physicist and uranium separation expert working in Berlin:
"A complete enigma. On the announcement of the use of the atomic bomb he passed remarks on the lack of courage among his colleagues which nearly drove Gerlach to suicide."
Dr. Kurt Diebner, the German army's expert on nuclear physics, commissioner for Norwegian heavy water production, and deputy head of the German atomic project:
"Outwardly friendly but has an unpleasant personality and cannot be trusted."
All of the Farm Hall detainees were released; none was charged with anything. Professors Max von Laue and Otto Hahn became fast friends during their internment and each continued long and respected academic careers. Von Laue died in 1960; Hahn in 1968.
Karl Wirtz became involved with the German nuclear power industry and lives outside Karlsruhe. Walter Gerlach and Kurt Diebner faded into obscurity, at least from a historian's perspective.
Carl Friedrich von Weizs�cker, who developed a theory of the origin of the solar system, has shifted his academic interest to philosophy and continues his association with the Max Planck Institute. He lives outside Munich and his brother is president of Germany.
Werner Heisenberg, considered one of the world's handful of genuinely great physicists, is assured a place in history for his work with quantum mechanics and for the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Throughout the remainder of his life, he was always well-regarded by his peers, although a kind of coolness lingered. Heisenberg was director of the Max Planck Institute until his death in 1976.

Emigration to USA
When the communists prevailed, he fled Russia. Joining the YMCA, he was sent to Paris, where he was given responsibility for educational activities at several Russian refugee camps. After service there, he was sent to the YMCA school in Springfield, Massachusetts. Just prior to World War II he was Director of the Physical Education Department of Hollywood High School in Los Angeles (In younger years he had been a track competitor, specializing in the mile run). During spare time in those pre-war years he joined the U.S. Army reserves and was assigned to the Infantry Intelligence Branch. He took course work then, qualifying for certification by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
