With reference to the attaclied;-.radid"message from the Gundv Wm
Los Angeles Office rei'erring to information furnished by an informant
concerning Justice Black, this matter was discussed with SAC J. F.
- Malone in Los Angeles. He was instructed to immediately take steps to
' determine the background of the individual who furnished the information,
_ to interview the individual, get a signed statement from him and pin him .
down because this story sounds highly improbable. Nevertheless, we
must check it out to see if there is any possible Federal violation;
consequently, he is to take the necessary steps to pin the informant down
and also verify his credibility.
He is to furnish the results of his inquiry to the Bureaufurther consideration. /.=l '

Investigation on June llth 1957 was to the effect,
that even though the original information I fur+
nished to the Federal Bureau of Investigation by
telephone June 10th concerning Justice HUGO BLACK
was absolutely untrue and false, I stated that
this information actually applied to a Federal
Judge in Blorida. I wish to state further on this
date June 20th 1957 that the whole story I fur-
nished previously about a Federal Judge being
involved is not true and never was true and
actually no Federal Judge was involved at any
time. I do not wish to make any explanation as
to why I furnished this information to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation in the first place.

graphy of Justice Black said: |
Vii-tirns of McCart.h§: duringi
mucricas dark years of prejudice
and pm-secuiion have been con-l
sislcnllv defended by Just-iceHucn Lafayette Black . . .
"Unk11ot92'n negroes. the trag-
ically well-known T?.!:senb£l'gs,|
aliens and deportees. radical}
professors. trade unionists and
Communist leaders have heard
the voice of Justice Black speak
out for their rights as laid down
by the American Constitution".
The paper quoted from ag
number of Justice Black's deci-j
sions and underlined that he
wanted all 14" Communists!
acquitted in the Supreme Court's
decision this week to free five
and send tor retrial nine con-
victed California Communists.
What sort of man is this,"
asked the Daily Worker, whoiii;'ii'LS of man wiii remain inner-r
in men's minds and more
thumbed 1n the law books than
many ma._iorlt,y opinions?"
The Daily Worker said he was
named _ Hugo after "the great
French radical writer Victor
Hugo whose book his mother
was reading when he was born."
It said Justice Black joined
the Kn Klux Kim "as a South-
rn lawyer seeking advancementtn poli'sics. and that opponents
f Franklin Rooseveits' New
cal exploited his memtiersliip
'n the Klan from which he re-
signed.
"A lesser man would have
been destroyed." said the Com-
munist Party organ, "but Black
calmly rode the storm and re-
mained to write court. opinions.
which show him as the cham-
i6'F2irwrars on three Mondayspiori of every human_1..dE-
fried by the Klan."

I-It_1g0 Black who, as Supreme Court
Justice joined recently in criticizing
methods of a House investigation, is the
':l!l'l¬ Sen. I-lugo Black who was widely
mndemned about 20 years ago for his
mnduct of a free-wheeling Senate quiz
~ F lobbyists.
Indeed. one of Sen. Black's investigating
t pet-ations got into court. A Federal bureau
~ used to help him gather evidence was
--itl by the local U. S, Court. " i
-t Appeals to have violated t
"10 law.
And while the court did
-.ot' criticize or attempt to
-iterfere with the Black com-
mittee, it expressed the hope
that evidence illegally goth-
: red would not be used by it.
Old-timers here recalled the
Black lobhy investigation asa rcsultdofl the Supreme i
t0uI't'S ccsion Jtlrte 17 in 5|the Watkins case. The high J ice mack
1-ourt upheld Mr. Watkins right to refuse
to "snitch" on associates who might have
teen communists. He was Irccd of con-
tempt of Congress.
The Congressional Record of 1936 shows
Sen. Black spoke approvingl_y uf the action
oi a much earlier Cai!l;1'1 >s.-t huitlin'g in con-
tempt another man who 1'cftts't=ti to "snitch"
on lobbying associates.
PAPER-"5 DEMAN IIICD
The Black investigation oi 1935 9292 as aimed
at lobbying by private utility companies
tgainst the holding hill. The Scn:r.or de-
tnantied from the two telnet-anti companies
ropies of messages they sent from Feb. 1,
1935, to Sr-pt. 1, 1935.
'Ihe companies balked. So the committee
went to the Federal Comntunictttions Com.-

!'h'E 1Ht'§ William Randolph Hearst;-newspaper publisher, sued. claiming his riphtuhad been invaded. He accused the Back
committee and the FCC of conspiring 10
under the First, Fourth and Fifth amend-
mcnts.
The commission led an opposition, say-
ing its examination of messages in the tele-
graph offices had been completed prior tothe filing 0,! the suit and that no Iurther in-
vestigations were planned.
Mr. Hearst's allegations were not denied.
HEARST WON
The trial court upheld Mr. Hearst and the
Appellate Court took ju_rlsdiction. ex;-ntually
holding that the commtssion acted Illegally-
It said that a dragnet seizure oi! private
telegraph messages, as alleged in the bill,
whether made by persons professing to act
under the color of authority from the Gov-
ernment or by persons acting as individuals,
is a trespass which a court of equity has
power to enioin."
The court conceded it had no authority to
require the Blackicommittee not to make use
of the telegrams it got thru FCC, even tho
the method of obtaining them was an in-
vasion or appellant's rights."
If a court could say to the Congress
that it could or could not use information
in its possession," the court said. "the mde
pentlence of the legislature would be de-
stroyed and the constitutional separation oi
powers oi Government invaded."
The court assumed in conclusion that_theSenate would "not use its proceeds in disre-
gard oi! appellant's rights."
In March, 1936, the Congressional Record
shows, Sen. Black spoke in dctense oi the
rights 0! senatorial investigating committees.
At another point, Sen. Black told the
Senate:
"Here is the story behind the summoning
of the telegrams: We have |l'EB l_92' estab-
lishcd by evidence that two companies have
been burning their records. . . ._This com-
mittee also iound, as other committees have
round, that it it wanted to obtain evidence
with reference to the thing ll was=_ chargedwith investigating, it must _£et it beforethose whom it was investtgatnt hail had 3
cn6=m&.1, destroy the cvidence.'.'.._.....__.

it20 Years as a Justice
By GENE WORTSMAN
lcppl-Howard Bl!!! WIIIQI
A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE, once a
member ot the.Ku Klux Klan, was
nominated to the court 20 years ago today
by President Roosevelt
There are those who say the resurgence
of the Klan in recent years in the SouthSitilg-S partly from the decisions of HugoL. i lack, now 71.
If Justice Black is aware 01 this criti-
ism, he shows no signs of it.
Nciiiir-r does he indicate awareness of
the significant changes which have come
over him tluiing his 20 years as an As-
sooiuie Justice.
I F Q
A native of Clay County, Alabama, Mr.
Hiack's nomination from the U. S. Sen-
aic to the bench kicked oil! a storm of
protest back in 1937.
For one thing, he was a member oi the
Corigu-ss which voted pay raises to the
jtisticos. Some critics claimed it would
violate the U. S. Constitution for him then
to nrccpt appointment to that bench. Mr.
Black was a pro-labor Senator.
liis nomination caused Republic steel
Cm'p.. to hire a private detective to turn
up srnneiltiiig about Mr. Black which
might bar his appointment.
'i'hi.<: officer found that Mr. Black had
belonged to the KKK.
Ycl withi-n five days of his nomination,
Mr. Black was confirmed by the Senate,
63-16.
l-in personally book no part in the con-
tt'0vers_v about his KKK membership until
Oct. t. 1937, three days before he joined
the iii"-in -h.
In a nationwide radio broadcast, Mr.
Blsn-k admitted he had been B. Klansman
but said he later resigned and had never

"I . . . believe it is time to stop these
judicial usurpations," he declared.
Yet today Justice Black is accused 01
participating in this same procedure as O.
member 01 the court.
Justice Black doesn't let. deununclationl
boier him.
0 n u
AT T1, he could retire at full salary of$35,000 9. year, but has shown no Eclination to do so. He enjoys visits wi
his children arid grandchildren.
His backers have been satisfied with his
service on the bench. They know he l-ms
been praised tor his courage, damned torIhis policies, and noted for his independence
or spirit. His opinions have been among' the most important in the past 20 years.
Among them were those to uphold the
Government; right to interne West Coast
JapaneseAmericans during world Wu II:
to stop union leader James C. Petrillo from
iorcing radio stations to hire extra mu-
-isisieians, and to outlaw use ot pu 5building! for religious instruction. i.. . Toison ._l_--

_ _ ,..._._- I _ |runs the being sub_In the atmosphere existing in see how llltlg protecgmn this poenaed to appeal» 1 3 hearing
in some far-off place, of being this country today, the charge
that someone is a Communist
is so common that hardly any-
one active in public life escapes
it. Every member of this court
hats, on one occasion or another,
been so designated. And a vast
m:tiorit_v of the members of the
other two branches of Govern-
ment h:192-c lared no better.
if the mere fact that some-
one has been called a Communist
is to be permitted to satisfy a
re-quiremr-nt of probable cause,
I think it plain that such a re-
quirement is w.holl_v without
value. Tu impose it would only
give ;-iipnrcnt respcr:t:tlJi?it_s" to
:1 przn-tire uhich is inherently in
conflict with our concepts of
jilsticc and clue process,
The tin-r such "protection"
t|il||l l ' l to critics of the un-
Ainr-lit-nn Activities Committee
unrlm these t'l¬ Il$Zl J|lH is included
in the mnjotit's so-callett limi-
tlll 'llt}I test. Under that test,
we are lultl, this court will per-
rrit c1:Il_92 those ill.Jti i§_L 'l'l'l lll-.4 of
in-|sun::l ltvltvis anti itw,¥ I'.l2l'tlt'lll.~'
by |'ri|nmit1t:c inc.gL|it}' that tite-
ttilll hrlir-92't's so important in
le-|n1r- of the nccci of the com-
ntith-P for information that so:-h
:4--it tttll92'92' i§illi the l"irst Ani1-n<l-
ll-mil |iri1!_» of the 92viti.1e>-:- and
the pliblit.
For my part, I nvctl look r.0
l92.rtl-mt tl.an this vcry ca!-1c tohigh-sounding slogan rezlly. af-
fords. For in this case the
majority is holding that the in-
terest of the committee in the
information sought outweighs
that of the witness and the pub-
llC in tree discussion while, at
the same time, it disclaims any
power to determine whether the
committee is in tact interested
in the information at all.
The truth of the matter is that
the balancing test, at least, as
applied to date, means that the
committee may engage in any
inquiry a majority of this court
happens to think could possibly
be tor a legitimate purpose
9292-nhetltor that purpose be the
true reason for the inquiry or
not.
=1! =11 Pk
Tll1l'=- in my view, the conclu-
sion is inescapable that the
only real limitation upon the
committees power to h;lt;tSS its
opponents is the con-nnittces
own self-restraint, :1 charac |.-r-
istic 9292;lti 'h probably has not
been predominant in the com-
rnit1Les wurl-t over the ]'»."|st few
years.
Tnr- 1'0:-ult of all this is that
front now on anyone 9292 ho takes
a public position contrary to
t at be-ins: urged by ti-c House
=n-American Activities; Com-
. itt-=0 should realize that hequestioned with regard to every
minute detail of his past life,
of being asked to repeat all the
gossip he may have heard about
any of his friends and acquaint-
ances, of being accused by the
committee of membership in the
Communist party, of being held
up to the public as a subversive
and a traitor, of being jailed
for contempt if he refuses to co-
operate with the committee in
its probe of his mind and as-
sociations, and of being branded
bythis neighbors, employer and
erstwhile friends as a menace
to society regardless of t.he out-
come of that hearing.
With such a powerful weap-
on in its hands, it seems quite
likely that the committee. will
weather all criticism, even
though justifiable, that may be
directed toward it. For there
are not many people in our so-
ciety who will have the courage
to speak out against such a
formidable opponent.
It the present trend con-
tinues, this already small num-
ber will necessarily dwindle as
their ranks are thinned by the
Jails. Government by consent
will disappear to be replaced by
government by intimidation be-
cause some people are afraid
that this country cannot survive
unless Congress has the power
to set. aside the freedom ol the
First Amendment at will.
1 can only reiterate my rm
conviction that these people are
tragically wrong. This country
was not built by men who were
afraid and it cannot be pre-
served by such men. Our Con-
stitution, in unequivocal terms,
gives the right to each of us to
say what we think without [car
of the power of the Govern-
mom. Thnt principle has served
us so well for so long that I
cannot bclicvq it necessary to
allow any governmental IITHUD
to reject it in order to preserve
its own existcncc. Least o[ all
lo l believe that such rt privi-
leun should he accorrlocl the
House Un-A Activities
Committee.

..!iMrs. Hugo Ck, wife of U. S. Supre e rt Associate' Justice Black companied by her two grandsons, D ritte, age 6,and James Wgélack, age 7, were introduced to the Director at 10:30 a. m.
today by SA onald R. Morris Crime Records Division. <: mm. ' -- "Y3 . J ._ . ,'..,._
During a very cordial interview, the Director personally
explained many of the mementos and statuary that grace his office.
Mr. Hoover offered Mrs. Black's grandsons their choice of model missiles
from the Director's collection in his outer office. Dean chose a Gemini
model and James selected a Thor model, and both boys were obviously
completely thrilled with these gifts.
A photograph was taken by the Bureau photographer, and 1/ 92the Director stated that three copies would be sent to Mrs. Black. This /I
is being handled separately. Mrs. Black took candid snapshots of the
Director talking with her grandsons. --
Aiter visiting the Director, the group was conducted on a
very special tour of Bureau Headquarters, and Mrs. Black expressed many
times her admiration for the work of the Director and the FBI. She asked
that her sincere appreciation be extended to Mr. Hoover for the many
I courtesies shown them.

- Dean, Jimmy, and I are at a loss for words to thank
y uyou ior our fabulous day at the F. B.I - The crowning thrill in
,a day of treats, surprises, and learning came a few minutes
~ ago when the three autographed pictures arrived by speciall messenger - We do appreciate everything so much -
The models of the Thor and Gemini space craft you
lgave them will always be treasured by the boys. If they can
lkeep their hands off long enough, I'm sure they will be proudly
Ishowing the models to their own grandchildren some day - I
have impressed them with the importance of taking good care of
these treasures because of the eminence of the gentleman who
presented them. They will learn more and more as they grow
older of the vital role the gentleman has played in American
history.
' ' Please thank Special Agent Morris for us. The boys_ lfell in love with him; he was so patient and interesting in his
1 presentation.
My husband sends his best - /

, t.he Court reaffirmed a five-

the holding to upset the gam-

spoke for the majority.
llis opinion, based largely on
the specific facts of the particu-
lar ease before the Court,
jstrcssed that the decision brolce
lno new ground. but rather put in
practice a principle the court
enunciated in.tti.E-4.. 92
No Probable Cause
Specifically, the Court ruled
that a police application for a
search warrant violates consti-
tutional safeguards if it is based
on nothing more specific than casual rumor in the under-I
world or an anonymous, un-detailed tip. _ l
Even the presence of an in-Q
dependent investigation, car-
92-ied o_ut in this case by FBI
agents, is not enough to endow
the warrant request with the

sociated his remarks from Jus-
tice Black's angr_v attack on
the majority. liouever, and fol-
lowed Justice Harlan in basing
his argument on the specific
fact of the case.
ln a third dissent. Justice Pot-
ter Stewart not.cd briefly that he
agreed with Justices Black and
Fortas that the search warrantin today's case should have been J'-
upheld.
Reconhixieridait Urged
Justice Byron R. White, an-
other conservative, said in a
separate opinion that he joined
the majority with misgivings.
urging that the court's 196-1
standard governing search war-
rants be reconsidered in a
broader context.
Justice Harlan, nominallltjge
main speaker in today's case,
and Justice Fortas, the first dis-
senter to speak. both agreed in
muted tones that "reasonable
men may differ with complete
reasonableness" in a case they
likewise agreed was trouble-
some and vcxatious."
When Justice Black launched
into his attack, at times rcarlingi
from his dissent and at. times
elaborating on it externpora-.
neously, the other justices sat
virtually motionless.
"i92iassl==-Eac::lation"
He denounced the decision as
"massive escalation" of the 196-t
ruling on which it was based. At
one point he provoked murmurs
from his colleagues with a
suggestion that the lower court
judges reversed by todays deci-sion should have been upheld
because they too are lawyersand judees. and much closer to!
the practical, everyday affairs
of life than we arc. I
The Supreme Court, sitting ini
Wastiington and "a thousandi
miles away," should not try to
"supervise the evidence on,
which the magistrate reached
his conclusion," Justice Black
Said.
He quoted with approval an
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals
judge who complained. at anl
earlier stage of this case, of
"increasingly technical bur-
dens" placed upon police by
"decisions that appear to relent-

-Black Clarifies the Right of Protest

first glance to have broken a
precedent when on Tuesday
night he allowed himself to be
interviewed on the CBS televi-
sion network and discussed a
number of consitutional ques-
tions. But, actually, he was
doing what every justice has
done in the past when they
have lectured beiore college
audiences of law students.
Because of their technical
nature, such lectures have not
gotten wide publicity. Black,
in tact, merely delivered on
television a law lecture, and
put it in simple language.
Perhaps the most important
statement he made was his
declaration that protestors or
demonstrators do not have an
inherent right to use streets or
public places. He said that
such a concept assumes that
the only way to protest any-
thing is to go out and do it on
the streets -- that is not true."
Theuheadded:
It never has been true.
Weve had a government
where people have been pro-
testing against one another-~
having elections, having dif-
ferent religious meetings at
different places, having differ-
ent parties meeting at alliter-
ent places -- all through histo-
ry. I've never said that free-
dom of speech gives people the
right to tramp up and down
the streets hy the thousands,
either saying things that
threaten others, with real lit-ge, or that threaten
because oi the circum-
A

lr-ni_u-.
Bill iiougias associate
Justice William Douglas! and
I both expressed our view on
that about 2.5 years ago, in
which we said that the 1st
Amendment protects speech,
and protects writing, and pro-ltects assembly. But it doesn't
have anything that protects 8
;mans right to walk around
land around and around my
house it he wants to fastenV
Y my people - my family - up
nn the house, make them
afraid to go out of doors,
latraid that something will hap-
U pen."
Black was reluctant to ex-
press an opinion on the riots
which occurred in Chicago
during the week of the Demo-
cratic National Convention be-
cause cases might come be-
fore the Supreme Court involv-
ing those some disorders, and
the court would have to pass
upon them. But, speaking in
general terms, he said:
N 0 w, the Constitution
doesn't sa_y that any man shall
have_a right to say anything
he wishes, anywhere he wants
to go. That's agreed, i5|1'tjt,,?
. .. It does not say that people
shall have a right to assemble
to express views on other peo-
ples property."
When asked if he meant
i government property," Black
answered: Why, certainly-
92that's not theirs . . . It belongs
is P i [__ 1,-.1 E. Eli lgtlgto the government as I
whole."
During the last few years,

ibuilding and in other govern-
ment buildings, including the
Capitol iiseii. Black said:
"The government would be
in a 'very'bad fix, I think, if
the Constitution provided that
the Congress was without pow-
er to keep people from coming
into the Library of Congress
and spending the day there,
demonstrating or singing, be-
cause they wanted to protest
the government. I don'tthink
theycould. Theyve got a right
to tall: where they have a right
to be tmder valid laws.
What Black has said may or
may not percolate down
through the militant groups
who seem to feel that they
have the right to demonstrate
by using sit-ins" and lie-
ins" and that they may use the
streets or public parks at will
to assemble or state their pro-
test marches.
Evidently Blaciis idea is that
no citizen has the right to mis-
use government or private
property by interfering with
the rights of others. This
means that city governmentshereafter probabely will ndthemselves back up by the
courts if they deny permits to
groups for marches or assem-
blies on the streets which are
likely to result in violence.
There are plenty of places for
mass meet.mgsstadiums, au-
ditorium: andconventiou
hallswhere the right of tree
speech can be fully exercised
and protests loudly proclaimed
without damaging the lives or
property of other citizen: in
the community. . _

Dear Mr. Hoover,
1
I am very grateful to you for the splendid color photo
of you, the Lippert's and myself. It came today and I
assure you it will be a cherished photograph to us all
and that it will serve to recall a most exciting experience
of a morning at the F.B.I.
I Mr. O'B_ie_rne gave us an excellent tour, especially
interesting to the nine young journalism students of| Dr. Lippert,<who accompanied the family on the tour.
Mrs. Lippert is my only niece, and I was especially
anxious to make her trip a memorable one. Meeting you,
and the tour of the F. B.I. was a highlight. I am indeed
appreciative of your generosity of taking time off from yo
busy schedule to greet us and have pictures made.U1

We had a battle here in Hissouri'to prevent the violation
of the laws of privacy as expressed in the I6 Amendments or Bill OIR1ts,By the Highw ay Patrol and other Offioerspre obtained help from
or oials in iashington,and the final aot.the Attorney General came on
TV and stetdd that." He would see to the enforcement Of the laws of
privaoy,md the net result,-the Highway Patrol and other Officers have
rarely violated this ediot,they have been informed."1at when a person
is in his automobile-this is the sane I as in his home,and a Search
warrant is requird before e search can be justly made,we are often not

Dear Ur, Hoover: ..._
I note by the press-that the wolves are after you in
the same desire for their own EGO,for they have evaded the long and
honorable general course of s.ction,thht2 raised the F,B,I to a very
prominent place in the law enforcement world,and caused known hardened
criminals to veer away from any Peddnel Law violation after you were
appointed head of the F,B,I. I am sure that very few will believe the
poison darts of your enemies; will have very little if any loss oi the
respect that the great p11blfO now hold of you and the-I,B,I.,.5
AI am reminded of an aeticli-BI read years ago about a man ,3
that was slrndered in a news paper by his enemies,he contacted an aged-=
judge who was retired and stated the slander that was directed at him}?
The elderly Judge hesitecled few moments ,and then gave a master piece a;
of the results of the slander.'1his was the report. "% won't read the 92
qarticde} will read the article,but won pay any attention as to the -'92
slander-or will read the article and will note the slander-but will no-t3talk about the slander.i- will read the slander,and gossip about it."Bf;t
don pay any attention to them-For they have no influence." I doubt -"-that even '1' will believe the slander directed against you by the wolva
for your great law enforcement since-I924 is known and respected by 5
2.
I pray thatyou will be at the helm of the P,B,I.as long as
