D. Milton Ladd (1903–1960), commonly known as 'Mickey' Ladd, was a senior Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) official and confidant of Director J. Edgar Hoover. Born in Fargo, North Dakota, to U.S. Senator Edwin F. Ladd, he joined the FBI on November 5, 1925, and rose to become Assistant to the Director in May 1949—the Number 3 position in the Bureau, second only to Clyde Tolson. As head of the FBI's Security Division and later Domestic Intelligence Division (1941–1954), Ladd oversaw all FBI investigative activities in both criminal and subversive fields, directing high-profile Cold War counterintelligence operations including the Hiss-Chambers case, the Rosenberg espionage case, and the Amerasia affair. He retired in 1954 and died in an automobile accident in Sanford, Florida, on July 11, 1960.
