Neither J. Edgar Hoover nor Howard Hughes.
I'm inclined to agree with you about Hiss, although the evidence, even using post-1991 Soviet files, is mixed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alger_...oviet_archives. It may now be impossible to ever know for sure. My grandfather died in 1979 and FWIW was convinced Hiss was innocent.

OK, please ask your "Are you Firstname Lastname?" questions, one apiece, by noon Sunday EST.
Are you Mr. Hormel?
Good guess, but no. He was American, I think.
George was from Buffalo, settled in MN. Also born too late (1860)
I remember that Hormel is now based in Minnesota (there was a controversial strike by its workers in the Eighties), but didn't know where exactly the guy who founded the company was from.
Got that from Wikipedia.
OK, time's up. Our mystery person is
Charles Harrod
Best known for the upscale department store he opened in London, which is still going strong:
