'''Henry Julian Wadleigh''', was an economist and employee of Dean Acheson in the United States [[Department of State]] in the 1940's. He was an economist in the Trade Agreements Division, for eleven years and was sent to Turkey and Italy and other countries as United States representative. Wadleigh secured a transfer originally from the Department of Agriculture to the State Department at the request of the Soviet intelligence.
After the statute of limitations had run out, Wadleigh openly admitted [[CPUSA]] membership and that he had stolen a vast number of classified documents while working in the State Department on behalf of Soviet intelligence.
At the trial of [[Alger Hiss]], Hiss attorneys' attempted to pin the blame on Wadleigh for supplying Hiss's hand and typewritten notes to a courier for transmission to the [[Soviet Union]].
