Whalen, Grover: New York Police Commissioner. Vassiliev Yellow Notebook #4, 73–74, 76. Whalen documents, The: In 1930 New York police commissioner Grover Whalen announced to the press that he had obtained a trove of internal documents from the New York offices of Amtorg that identified dozens of Amtorg’s staff as Soviet spies and that Amtorg was little more than a front for Soviet intelligence. Within a few days of Whalen’s production of the documents, however, radical journalist John Spivak proved that they were forgeries (rather crude ones) and even identified the New York printer who had prepared the fake documents, although who had commissioned the printer to do so remained unclear. Spivak’s demonstration discredited Commissioner Whalen and also tended to rebut widespread rumors that Amtorg was a front for Soviet espionage. The speed with which he revealed the forgeries convinced some skeptics that Spivak knew they had been foisted on the police to embarrass them. Vassiliev Yellow Notebook
