Jones, Thomas Orton.

Thomas Orton Jones (1916-2004) served in the U.S. Army's Manhattan Engineering District during World War II as chief intelligence officer at the Los Alamos Laboratory under J. Robert Oppenheimer. In 1946, he joined the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission where he continued to work until his retirement in 1970.
