Holm••
Gandy Toi..R~-
Chris Brady, Administrative Assistant to Congressman Carl Elliott
(D. -Alal.>ama), who is very friendly, has talked to my office twice within the past
t w•' days re Congressman Elliott proposing legislation for the Director. Mr. Brad)
said the Congressman has the greatest respect for Mr. Hoover and is concerned
that the Director just might be forced to retire wiless the mandatory provision
I in the Civil Service regulation is waived by the President. To absolutely preclude
I the possi"bility the Director might be forced to retire, it is Congressman EHiott's
desire to 1 'ltroduce a bill in Congress removing Mr. Ho:>Ver from the Civil Service
requirement calling for mandatory retirement at age 70. Before 11\troducing this
bill, howPver, said Mr. Brady, it is Congressman Elliott's desire that Mr. Hoover
let him confidentially know how he feels about such a maneuver. If Mr. Hoover
objects, .:if course, no such bill would be introduced. Mr. Brady did think it
would pass the Congress without any difficulty. \ Iii··=~-( /::--:;: ~--_ -_---

That I informally tell Congressman Elliott the Director de·~p11-----
I appreciates his interest, however, at this time such legislation might give rise
to unwarranted speculation and gossip. He will be told the Director has no
intentions of retiring; additionally that his kind interest will be kept in mind.

RE: Prf>posal that a Citizens' Committee

,' j'
Bufiles contain no information co~rning this newspaper and no
informa•ion identifiable with its Edit.or, 1'.'l?mas .. y_;m.. Bryan has contacted you
on a number of occasions regarding this malter. , He has been emphatically told
} that we ~annot enter into this matter and that it sflould be played down. He, how
ever, senses a very popular campaign potential aPd has plowed ahead.
OTHER INFORMATION:
/ The er information we have concerning this matter regards
t1.c efforto of James rooms, who, on 5/12/60, wrote to the Trinity Methodist
Church 1 Washingt ng that there was a plan to merge several Methodist
Cilurch£ _ in the c)ty into one church where the Trinity Methodist Church stood at
that tim·. <i.t 413 Seward Square. This address was the birthplace and the home for
several years of the Director. Grooms felt that any future building pla118 should
include :come tribute, plaque, or the actual preservation of the Director's home as
] a means of paying tribute to a great American. On 5/17/60, the Director wrote to
GroomF !>lated that he appreciated his sentiments, but also indicated that he did nc
ftel this plan should be encouraged in any way.
At that time, Grooms was associated with th~ _, ....:.W had LK·en a former Bureau clerical employee; having-eatered.rm-duty
-~2 J 41 · Military leave on 4/19/46.
llliCOMt. .. !:..NDATION:
That we take steps to advise Mrs. Roehling and Editor Bryan that
) w' .le tht. Director appreciates the sentiment behind this movement, it would not
be possible for him to take part in it in any way and that it would be appreciated
if any further efforts in this regard be discouraged.

What the new Volume 33
WHO'S WHO offers
REViSED: increased content -more than 56,500 concise, up-to-the-minute daiiy-reference
usdul biographical listings, each diligently revised and brought down-to-date. More "late
data·· made possible by special binding arrangements providing for the inclusion of a "final
addendum" section just prior to publication date. Printed by the latest processes from plastic
platt:s on paper especially manufactured to the Editors' opacity specifications.
AUGMENTED: Over 7,500 entirely new sketches, never before appearing in WHO'S
WHO, of outstanding, today's head-line news, living Americans -men and womlrn -and
notable foreigners intimately connected with this country by achievement or current promi
nence.
SCOPE: The "in America" in WHO'S WHO IN AMERICA is used in its established
western continental meaning -the Western Hemisphere -carefully selected groupings rep
resentative of Canada and Latin America being listed.
SIZE: Over 3,600 pages-in the easv-to-use library format-yet handy because the large
page type area provides a "tall and thin" WHO'S WHO ( l l inches high, 8 inches wide, 3Y2
inches thick).
TYPE FACE: Especially selected for reference use and made
up, due to larger page area, to provide more "air."

WHo"S W1-10 IN AMERICA
1~~7 -Our Seventh Decade -1962
lJe:>r 1'1101 S WHO Biographee:
''ir WHO'S WHO sketch, as last published, is enclosed -
tc be up-dated and rechecked, and then returned
in the accompanying no-postage-required envelope
to the files of the compilers already working on
the next -the 33rd Biennial Edition -WHO'S WHO
IN AMERICA.
Our Editors ask the favor -and with some degree of urgency -of as
rnimediate .is practicable cooperation to that end -
and •hey especially request your attention to such
details as the occupational designation given in
the first line and the dates of termination of po
sitions no longer held, in the body of the sketch,
as experience indicates that in the case of fre
quently revised WHO'S WHO sketches, errors or incom
plete information most often occur in those places,
.. • •
This checking and up-dating to make WHO'S WHO currently accurate for
each edition, is possible only because of the cooperation of the out
scanding men and women it. lists -those whose noteworthy acco111pl1sb
mPnt is thE>reby al.,ays of record and down to date in its pages •••
~dges of which constant reference usage is lllSde, as evidenced in the
<nclosed announcement of the new edition.
ooviousiy the accuracy and the currency which this periodic checking
at firsthand provides for personal and career data, given world-wide
circulation in WHO'S WHO, is directly in the interest of those selec
ted f<Jr liFttn~· in itt and to whom its Editors must, of necessity,
turn for the required cooperation.
We here recognize that this cooperation also vitally strengthens the
M!".ference serviceability of Wll>'S WHO, and one tangible reciprocation
we can for our part o!f er -
is to extend to its biographees advance-of- ublication
bookings discounts up to 253 -$7.15 saving exceeding
·,II> ,
~ ...... "-{

even those for many years allowed libraries, schools and
other institutional r~ference users.
It is in part possible to offer these preferences
_!t> biugcaphees who assist our Editors to keep their
sketches accurate because, by setting the initial
press run to include their pre-publication bookings
iniportant product ion economies become obtainable -
and this is especially true in the case of an over
3,600 page volwnc which takes upwards of six months
to print and bin.d.
Tht:SL' i1npurtant discounts ... available only tQ those listed in WHO'S
WHO so assisting its Editors •.• are:
On their pre-publication subscriptions accompanied
by remittance, 253 ($7.15 saving), reducing the
pr..,-publication list price of WHO'S WHO ($28.50)
to but $21,35 with all delivery costs prepaid.
On their pre-publication subscriptions to be billed
against open account on delivery, 153 ($4.30 saving)
-making WHO'S WHO available to them for $24.20.
Copies of WHO'S WHO specially bound in genuine leather,
with your name imprinted on the cover, are available
at your option at an additional cost of $7,50 per
copy.
A convenient form is enclosed which -on your sketch being returned
now -provides these preferences. (WHO'S WHO is, for professional
vocational, or business reference use, a deductible expense taxwise.)
• • •
It is with the foregoing factors of mutual interest in mind that we
r~quest your cooperation in now placing your subscription to the
v>ming edition -the enclosed postpaid envelope may of course be
used for your bookinir as well as for return of your •ketch.
Please return the sketch proof even if no changes are
to be made, for it must take its alphabetical place in
the compilers' files for the new edition to avoid pos
sible accidental omissions later in the compilative
procedure.
Y· •Ur cooper at ion on both tht.:st: scores ••. up-dating your sketch, and

P.S. - I should like to call to your attention the lithographic re-

messages from WHO'S WHO biographees Charles A. Mitke and Daniel A.
Seager, which express unsolicited appreciation for WHO'S WHO, and
its value in rt:!ference use. It is to share with us the responsibil

sibility handed down by Albert Nelson Marquis, and now in my trust
and that of our Editors, that your cooperation is bespoken above.

be recontacted for details as to his report that discussion had taken place
in the White House regarding possible replacement of the Director with
Mr. William O. Boswell, Director, Oilice of Security, State Dapartment.
SA J. 11'1. Matter obtained the following information from Kramer
on 12-5-61. Tile report originally came from Mr • ..COXneJi_us ·yande:t"J:>Ut, Jr.,
of Reno, Nevada (tJresently staying at the Windsor Hotel, 2300 Connecticut

the following: (1) J. Edgar Hoover is considering resigning as DU:ect~
of the F.BI to accept a position in private inG..istry_, (2) William O. Boswell ~-
1 has been suggested as a possible successor to Mr. Hoover,_ Vanderbilt -·-:-
} attributed this to the .White House as a result o_ f Sy-lvester's close association ·~

to Vanderbilt being contacted in regard to this matter. ~!/ !
Without revealing his source, Kramer has since personally advised
Congressman Francis E. Walter, Chairman of the House Co=ittee on
Un-American Activities, and the office of Massachusetts Senator Leverett
Saltonstall, Senate Appropriations Committee, of this report and urged them

tactfully pressed as to the identity of the person furnishing this information.
He replied, "I am sorry, I can't reveal that, but I can say it came to my
friend from a source in the w:iite House." Kramer was further pressed
as to the reliability of his friend's information and replied, "He has never
let me down in the past " -. · ----·----· ···-· · • i\tC:·~·h I\~ .t;°'/,/- '? 1Y --- __,, -----· .

The Director (born 1-1-95) will reach age 65 on 1-1-60. The purpose
of this memurandum is to report the effect of an amendment to the Federal Employee&
Group Liie Insurance Act with respect to the Director's insurance coverage. Public
Law 86-377. which amended the insurance act, was approved 9-23-59. It provldes
employees, who reach the age of 65 and continue on an agency's rolls, with full life f insurance r'>verage at full premium cost until an employee retires. The Director,
with annua: i.alary of $22, 000, presently has life insurance coverage of $20, 000,
which is the ::naximum coverage which the law permits. This coverage will continue , I until retiret;!P.nt at full premium cost, which is $5. 00 per pay period, providing a
'. waiver of co·:~rage is not executed. The Director has an option to waive coverage
jl at an· time.
, Jnly on retirement will the 2 percent per month reduction take place.
·Such reduct•. m of coverage continues for a period of about two years and two months
j following r< tirement until the coverage is reduced to 25 percent of the face value
existing at r..:tirement age, which in the Director's case would be $5,000.
The latter amount of coverage would then continue for the rest of his life
at no prem;um cost. It will be recalled that before this amendment waa enacted, the
2 percent per month reduction of coverage started once an employee reached age 65.

IU8,JKT: ANNIVERSARY PLAQUE FOR THE DmECTOR Q f;_=.~
63RD SESSION, FBI NA TDNAL ACADEMY l. I 'I . ' .. w.c. S•llM_\, If Tele. Aoo .. 9!11
Holiotnon -On the second day of the current session of the National Academy G•••" __
tbe clus members, during a lecture on the history and juridction ol the Bureau,
were adviaed that Mr. Hoover waa named Director of the FBI on 5/10/24. A
couple of days later a committee selected by the clua inquired of th1a diviaion
if it would be in order for the class members to do something to recognize the
Director's 35th Anniversary. They were adviaed there would be no objection
whatsoever to this and we were sure Mr. Hoover would appreciate their thought
fulness. As a result a collection was taken up by the class members and they
have h.i.d prepared a very beautiful plaque. Thia plaque ha.a an appropriate
congratulatory message and the name of each cla.aa member engraved upon it.
The company working on the plaque baa apent 3 weeks making it. It 19 now ready.
I The class members want to present th1.a plaque in a fitting manner and
several of them have expressed the hope that the whole class can be present
when tht> president, Chief of Police Dan Liu of Honolulu, makea the presentation.
It is ti me to make the class photograph and a recommendation 1a being
· m d.Cie th.it tht· pholtograph be taken at noon tomorrow, Thursday, May 'I, in the
courtyard. There will be no visiting i1111tructors appearing before the class from
11 to 12. The thought has occurred to us that if the Director 1a agr~able, tt
I would be nice to have President Liu present the plaque to the Director as soon
1 as the lJirector arrives for the photograph and before the photograph 1.a actually
taken. Chief Liu would be in the front row and could merely step forward when
the Dtr1:etor arrives, make a very short presentation speech, and then give the
plaque to the Dire<>tor. After acknowledgment by the Director, the photograph
could then be taken. ?, 1/0

Mr. Fox called by the Director's Office Friday,
1959, and was referred to my office. Marchl3*
Mr. Fox stated that he is a portrait artiat and that he desires
very much to paint a portrait of the Director. Be indicated it would not be
necessary for the Director to sit for the portrait but rather he would select I a photograph which he preferred and then Fox would paint the portrait from
the photograph.
Mr. Fox indicated that he usually charges $2, 500 to $3, 000
11 for !:lis portraits. He t>as painted such !ndtv!d!!&la u Father Fllu1agan; the
Honorable Herbert Hoover, the late Chief Jiatlce Stone and many other
prominent individuals. ~
Mr. Fox insisted on taking a current photograph of the Director
back with him to New York for the purpose of preparing a sketch. Be lltated
there would be no obligation involved and that the photograph and the llketch
would be returned within one month. I told Mr. Fox this was, of course,
eomet.liLrig the Director would Ii.ave to pa.es u....non, that the Director was not !!!
the buildin.; at the present time and that it would, therefore, be impossible
to give him a photograph for this purpose. Ur. Fox stated he aderstca•
and that he would be back in town within approri••tely Cl6e moatb apd w..W
call then to see if the Director was interested in.~~"i bl~"'". -_u ~~·st1& ~ . . .) _ ... ,I l_~J. ,__,_ ~: c . . -ACTION. . ar·h<'·I N11" -·•I I

Public Law 85-462, approved 6/20/58, pro~ increase& in p17;;,nvmi
for all employees paid under the Classification Act contained a nj:!w pay compu
tation formula for obtaining the hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, and other rate•
for all employees in the Federal Government, except the heads of agencies,
elected officials, Federal Judges, and certain other specific employees. The
new formula provides for first computing the hourly pay by dividing the annual
salary rate by 2080 hours (260 pay days in year multiplied by 8 houra) and
multiplying the hourly rate thus obtained by 8, 40, or 80 aa the case may be to
get the daily, weekly, or biweekly pay. In addition, i"J1Y fraction of a cent in
any computation is converted to a whole cent. The o formula provided for
obtaining the biweekly rate by dividing the annual rate by 26 pay periods; the
biweekly rate divided by 80, adjusted to the nearest cent provided the hourly
rate, and the daily rate was obtained by multiplying the hourly rate by 8.
The new formula sirr>..plifies many pay computations; however; in
many instances it results in employees receiving in a year slightly more than
the annual rates of pay. This matter has been discussed with officWs in the
office of the General Counsel, GAO, who advised that such higher payments
are legal. The new pay formula was recommended to Congress by that office,
with the full knowledge it would result in such higher payments in some Instances;
estimated total yearly payments in excess of annual rates for entire Government
approximately $4, 500, 000; GAO felt additional cost would be more than offset by
savings through simplification of pay computations; bulk of excess payment&
caused by the conversion of fractional cents to whole cents.
For information purposes the effect of the new pay computation
formula may be seen in the biweekly salary payments for the Director and the
Associate Director under the old and new formulaes, as shown in attaclled tabd•Uons.

When the Sucred Cow WP~I
Heroes rise and fall in our land. Republican gazettes
whi«h once treated Jke as if he were abOve Criticism now talk
as if he were Harry Truman, There are '1iollll!llts when·
Mickey Mantle la booed, But while most r~al men find
their hides vulnerable, FBI Director J. Edga lloover remains
the sacred cow of press and politics.
His unique eminence has been dramatized anew since
the publication of "Masters of Deceit." Hoover'& version of
'.The Story of Conununlsm In America and How to Fliht It." .
Any lesser author might have been gravely dalnaaed by the
timing of the book's appeal'llnce. It was released afa moment
when the U. S. Communist Party had sunk to lta lowest level
in throe decades, when, for the first time alnce 1924, It no
longer published a dally !Jl!WSpaiier, and ~ tJie rank& of
even tbe hard-core Muac:Ovtte flllllltlca Went cnDfb!lp,g.
Clearly this was an !Muspldous moment to laulldt a
volume depicting the llattered iocaJ Communists as a cjear
and present danger to the republle, and reh,iahlng ii! p~r
form the aiµ:ient hlitory of Oomm.unlst lntrleue ID. the U,$4
which has been told IO many times and In IO much 9Pri1htlier
form. (It Is, for example, dl1flcult to ~ awed by Heaver'•
descriptiona of the propaganda prows of. the cldl.8lct Dally
Worker, which perished while hla words were Qll the pt t ' ) .
Yet that ii what HooV1!1' hat done, and the valwiie Iii belni.:
treated tn m0&t piaCes aa It It were tJie latest e4ltiOn o/.. ~
Book of Revelations. , _ -0
From tbe front page o( The Herald Tribune boOk ~
to the columns of The Saturday ~ and tile _e(litorlal
page of The Daily New11, there has been a chorus of wide
eyed acclamation remlnlscent of the RWll!an boOll:-pagea In
the days when Josef Stalin was a compulsory belt-teller.
All this would not matta' too much except for a parallel
elfort to defame any commelltator who fall8 te ctve the ap-
propriate salute to this tedloull exercise. - ·
_Thus, while llCholara Uke Walter Wlncbell award patri
otic prizes io the H-T reviewer, Georae Sokoi&ky hu deYoted.
a full-scale essay to a crltlcal assault on John Oakes Of The
Times. Mr. Oakes was Wlcharltable enou&li to ,llOlnt _out
that the-Communist house bad fallen In an 1uff .ai.-r
while he was at bis typewriter; wlth qujet ~tement
Oakes remarked that ~ WB1 "a lligbtly dlte4'.,..ntY"
