The [[FBI]] first detected Koral in 1941 while surveiling [[Gaik Ovakimian]], whom the FBI did not realize at the time was the head of KGB operations in the United States. The FBI noted Ovakimian meeting several times with Koral, though no espionage could be proved.  Koral was working at the time as a school district maintenance man.
