February 22, 1940
Honorable Robert H. Jackson
Attorney General
Department of Justice
Washington, D. C.
my dear Mr. Jackson:
H. It is with considerable hesitancy that I write you_upon the
subject of the activities of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I have
heard so many complaints of the activities of this Bureau that it has
seemed to me I ought to write you regarding them. _
I have made no attempt to investigate the various charges I have
heard, but from what I have heard, from sources I believe to be reliable,
I cannot help but reach the conclusion that there is some well-grounded
fear that the activities of this Bureau are overstepping and overreaching
the legitimate objects for which it was created.
I have also heard considerable complaint as to the treatment which
has been given by this Bureau to persons arrested, tending to humiliate
prisoners unnecessarily, often to prevent them from pursuing the ordinary
means and methods which, it seems to me, under the Constitution ought to
be open to everyone who is charged with a crime. These complaints have
been so widespread and some of them have been given such publicity that
you are perhaps as well aware of them as I am, and know better than I would
know whether the legitimate rights and liberties of any of our people have
been frustrated and denied.
For example, it has been alleged and given considerable publicity
that in Detroit quite a number of persons were arrested and handcuffed to-
gether, and their pictures taken in this condition. As I understand it,
the charge against these people was that they had assisted men to enlist
in the Loyalist Army in Spain. They were not criminals; there was no
reason to believe that any of them would try to escape. They were not
charged with an offense that had any odium attached to it, and yet they
were treated as if they were well known to be criminals of the lowest type.
This treatment of any citizen has a tendency to coerce him, to'break him
down, to disgrace him.unnecessarily, and is, it seems to um, indefensible.
About this some time, other similar arrests were made in other cities of
the United States,
/1 i'1> i'>
-3-
. If these reports are anywhere near the truth, such conduct on
the part of officials of the Federal Government, it seems to me is
entirely inexcusable.
I understand you have dismissed many of these complaints in the
Detroit case-
According to my understanding, this Bureau Was created and exists
only to investigate violations of law, and its activities ought to be
confined, in m judgment, to the respectful treatment of citizens. It
does not contemplate the inhuman treatment of them, or excuse it, especially
when the people affected are well knownnot to be outlaws or criminals.
Certainly the Government of the United States cannot afford to be given
to third-degree methods, inflicted upon men and women, known not to be
criminals, and, particularly, when they are charged with an offense which
has no odium attached to it.
I fear the activities of this Bureau, covering as they do the
entire country, are going to bring into disrepute the methods of our en~
tire system of jurisprddence.; ""'*
At the same thne, Mr. Jackson, I do not wish to interfere with any
legitimate activity in which this Bureau may be engaged. I'think it has
done some good work. As the head of the Department of Justice, however,
it seems to ne you cannot afford to permit the activities of any of your
subordinates, or of any of the Bureaus under your control, to pursue
methods which are inhuman and brutal. As I see it, the activities of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation should be confined to the apprehension and
arrest of persons charged with crime, and the methods pursued ought to be
such as not to bring the Department of Justice into disrepute.
It seems to me the former Attorney General, Honorable Harlan F. Stone
now Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, stated
the case concisely and fully when he said on May 15, 1924:
"There is always the possibility that a secret police
system.may become a menace to free government and free institu~
tions because it carries with it the possibility of abuses
vof power which are not always quickly apprehended or under-
stood. The enormous expansion of federal legislation, both
civil and criminal, in recent years, however, has made a
bureau of investigation a necessary instrument of law enforce»
ment. But it is important that its activities be strictly limited
to the performance of those functions for which it was created
and that its agents themselves be not above the law or beyond
its reach,
t

The bureau of investigatiun is not aoneerned
with pcalitical or other Opimicns of inaividuals. It
is concerne anly with their canduct and than anly
with sash cnnuct as is forbiden by the laws of the
United States. when a yelice system passes beyond these
limits, it is angeraus to the proper aministratien
sf justice and ta human liberty, which it ahnul be
Qur firs cnncern to aherish. Within them, it should
rightly be a terrnr to the wrongdaer."
I hope you will nat misunerstand my motiva in writing yam
this latter. I have ma nther interest except ta see that the laws
of mur ceuntry are praperly enfarced and the actiities cf its
offiaials and officsrs kept within the bauns of civil;zed govern-
menu. I am writing ynu only because it appears ta ma ydQ'&buld
well investigate the activities of this Bureau, ané, if you deem
yruper, curtail such activities as n nan cams within the lamitatians
set farth in the abuva~quated language at the then Attorney General,
new Associate Justice, Mr. Stuns. *

Ex Senator George W Norris in
a signed articl'¬"Y5r the United
Press, yesterday urged the re-elec
tlon of President Roosevelt for a
fourth term
I think President ROOSHEIK has
dcne a very good job of conducting
the war, the venerable Independ-
xit progressive said ano unless
some outstanding man comes along
who would be able to do an equally
ood Job I think we should elet
Roosevelt next year if the war is
still on."
I would be for any man who
could do the job of carrying on the
war as well as Roosevelt, but I see
no such man now
§What. would be the effect on
out allies, our enemies if we should
repudiate Roosevelt and his policies
in ithe midst of war?" he asked.
The ex-Senator expresse .1".over the attitude of some Repub-
licans who seem to be moved
primarily by an attitude of hate
toward the Administration
wrote that some of our people
seem to be moved by an overdose
lot nartisansnm " and indicated that
they were threatening national
unit;
A foe of Americas participation
Iln the League of Nations he hailed
the Moscow Conference decisionsland the Senate resolution endorsing
lthem. Explaining his changed at-
lhe said that no one was trying to
{conquer the world during the rst5world war, as Hitler and the Japa-
lnese are trying to do today, not
did anyone carry his conquests tofthe extremes of enslavement ta
{which Hitler and the Japanese have
, arried theirs."For '41} Re-Election

}£o./$7? 5/' 0 ~ . . . .» erence to your inquiry about obtaining the paperof the late .5'enat6L¬Norris,I wish to advise that his papers consist .
of approximately 100, ~ items. Norris died in 194-4. He was in
the House from 1902-1912, in the Senate from 1912-1943. All of
his papers were given to the Library of Congress N. 1. Times
9/26/43, p.36, col. 6!. His papers are located in the llanuscript
Division of the Library of Congress, Room 3005, Annex, and they must
be reviewed in that Division. '
Knowing the Library of Congress as he does, feels '
it would be most difficult to obtain Norris papers, or any portion
of them, for review in the Bureau, without the approval of the Chief
of the Manuscript Division; two of his superiors and possibly the
Librarian of Gongress. .
You will recall that was assigned to assist theLibrary of congress officials in o e or search for $50,000 worth of
Walt I'hitnan's manuscripts which were stolen between 1941-51. K.flearned during the course of his contacts with the Library 0 V
congress officials at that time, that none of the subordinate
officials were willing to make a final decision on anything,
particularly where original manuscripts were involved. They wrote
endless nenoranda on the questions raised b and would uoiceno opinion until the word came down from ithg gap. ;j 2 »
,.
feels that any request he night naive for any porti 1
of the Norris papers should be nade directly to. if ;~,Dayid§c. MeansChief of the Manuscript Division. He would prol:zb;L'h:§i2e"to get theapproval of the following officials before he covulcd msahve a decision:. gg, - »
Deputy chief Assistant Librarian - Lucile . Iorsch
Uhief Assistant Librarian - Vernon F. clapp
Keeper of the Collections 3---Llvin I. Kroner"Librarian of Oongress - L. Quincy llulford. -
It would nean that each tins portions of the papers are i
borrowed it would be the subject of a separate aenorandun; and would
be a matter of permanent record to prove what papers were borrowed
and to insure that these particular pages were returned. All of theofficials are security conscious since the loss of the Whitman papers
fhey want to be in a position to trac ery utu e o s, t refore,they are overly cautious. £C0RDED_42§2--g--Qf--» &20 -~ i?:§*¬§"g 4§?4? §>%*l%1 '

Memorandum to Hr. Nichols k Kovember 2!, 1955
we tested the precautions taken in the Manuscript Divisionby sending one of our employees over to look over the Norris papers.It was found they were considered Vestricted," therefore, the
person using them filled out a form giving full information about
employment, name of agency, supervisor or teacher, what use is tobe made of the material, whether any portion is to be published,on infinitum. The person must then produce personal identificationand follow two rules under the thebllé
OBSERVAYTONS:
During the time was working with the Libraryon the Halt Whitman manuscripts heft, he pointed out loop-holesin their security system in the Manuscript Division and suggested ..a tightening up of security and a detailed written reoord_qfthe use of every manuscript by every person using or handling 'it. This has been worked out to perfection by the Library of
Gongress. we can hardly circumvent the prescribed rules at "present. If we borrow any portion of the Harris papers it will kg;become G matter qf written record, $3
RECQHHENDATIONS: ! It is recommended that AgengcallHr. David 0. Eearns, Chief; Manuscript Division 0 ascertain ifthere is any way to borrow portions qf the Norris papers on a
confidential basis.
! If the above proves fruitless, then we will try gto get them on loan, a few at a time, knowing a record will be
made of such loan.
