In 1940 I was in Honolulu, Hawaii broadcasting. I heard cer-
tain matters concerning security--whispers-ebut made no effort
to pursue them. I~was apprised of freedom afforded non-citizenJapanese but found few inclined to worry about the-Japanese.
The war was a world away in the opposite directiona So, in-
stead of trying harder I backed_away and sent a cablegram to
the publisher of the St. Louis "Star-Times" saying, quote, this
Japanese powder keg is getting too hot for a married man--I*m
coming home. While most seemed to be concerned only with the
threat of war in Germany, I was honestly concerned of the inter-nal threat to our security by certain Japanese but'I did nothingabout it--it was much later before I was informed that certain
of those aliens whom I had suspected used shortwave transmittersin their garages to guide attack planes to their targets on thefateful December 7 when war_struck the United-States from behinde
New you know the one crime on my conscience--negligence, Instead
of sticking my neck out I closed my eyes, yet knowing that forbad men to suoceed requires only that good men do nothing, A
Now, 1951. We're all concerned with an enemy six thousand miles
away but historians and statemen agree if the United States ofAmerica ever does get whipped it will have been an inside job.
J. EDGAR HOOVER said, In our much vaunted tolerance for all
peoples the Communist has found our Achilles Heel. _
I am well aware of the highly advertised rights of this illegal,
subversive minority in our midst which seeks to make a travesty.
of our courts and of our system of justice, I think now it's
time for a few baro~handed men to start looking out for the
rights'of the good, decent, God-fearing, loyal majority of theAmerican people for a change, ,
To me, if we slam the front door on the Communists six thousand
miles away yet coddle their counterparts in our own house, ourdead have died for nothing. Sometimes a news lead ends up in
a blind alley» If you are disappointed that without the detailsthe story is less dramatic than the build~up, you should instead
have new respect for those persons responsible for our internal
security»-those of the FBI, and for the fact that they are doing
everything they can do within the confines of the law to keepeAmericans safe. " I I

I am sorry only for one thing--that those who seek to assist
a newsman to find the truth arelsometimes referred to by some
as disgrutled. In a copy of a Chicago newspaper before me,MERl1N'W. GRIFFITH, Business Agent of the Guards local Union
and htnself a guard at Argonne National Laboratory; is quotedas saying--the men involved were interested only in bettering
socurity_conditions, GRIFFITH said protective facilities atthe Laboratory were in need of overhaulinga He said, quote,
we need more men, higher pay, and better equipment, vehicles,
arms and radio apparatus. There isn't a man among us, saysGRIFFITH, who wouldnlt give his life for his country. But
still to some the word patriotism is too-old-fashioned to be
considered a factor. To them patriots are things to be found
only in history books dealing with a less sophisticated era.
Even though~some men, without any reward and fully aware ofthe risks-involved, are willing to take those risks if they _. believe the alternative to be a greater risk for all of us-
It might be well if the loyalty of some critics could be sub-
ject to as intense investigation as is the loyalty of those
whom they criticize. .
.-' =,
In delicate matters--in very delicate matters-~I would assumethe physical risk but never the moral responsibility unless
and until competent authorities were made familiar with my
purposes in advance. There are matters even to a newsman whichare bigger than a news story. It is a matter of record that I
have worked with certain official investigative agencies of theGovernment on security matters which I have not divulged and donot intend ever to divulge publbly. You would not expect me
nowtor ever publicly to divulge the identity of my sources ofinformation or the means of its ac uisition¢ This much only I , Q ,will say. Our secrets are not less secure for the events of
this past week. ' . -

and had written to a St..Louis paper, "This Jap powder

has put out a statement and they are being
pressured at ABC in New York by wire services
as to what Harvey's status was.
After checking with you I told _[:::::]that we were sorry we could not help
him directly at all as the matter was still
under consideration but he might want to give
some thought to the fact that Harvey,had not
been taken into custody and as far as we were
~conoerned ABC-was free to use their own good
judgment in handling Bbruey'however they feltbest. |:|wonder.ed if_l'co'uld spell thattout any more and I told him I thought he '
'understood now. He said he did and asked if
we would have any objection if they made anystatement and I told him we had no jeelings
on the matter and that it was not our place
to object, approve or condone any action theywanted to'tahe, I '
_ [:::::]said he was most thankful
and appreciative and he would regard the con-

At 4.50 am on February 6', 1.951, SAC George l_lc|S'wain "1=1"°°=
called me from Chicago. He advised that the Chicago Office had 1:3 -been informed at 3:20 am ,.-20. am_,*our time! that guards at the V 'Argonne National Laboratory Atomic Energy installation had pi cited up '
one Paul H d t tr d 4 I b arvey, a ra io commen a or an newspaperman, in a restricted V 3 6stallation Harvey allegedly was accompanied by one -b/C identi.ty unknown!. The guards had picked up Harvey =.~ 1:30,. m and the AEU official requested that FBI Agent's interview Harveyrelative to a possible Atomic Energy Act violation. Mr. Mc-Swain pointed
out that Harvey is a radio commentator who sometime -ago publicly stated
that there wasia laxness in security at Argonne National Laboratory and
it would appear that h-e was attempting to sneak into the installation
for publicity purposes. Mr. 2'/1'ciSw.ain wanted to know whether Agents should "
be. dispatched to talk to Harvey in view of his position. as radio
commentato r . 92
I suggested to Mr. l[cSwain that regardless of Harvey's
p.ositio'n_. if he was in a restricted area without permission and there _,
was a -possible violation of the Atomic Energy Act, Agents should interview=
Harvey to get» full details from him. 1'3 requested Mr. A/{c,S'wain to advise
the Bureau promptly of the results of the interview withHarv_ey and
others who might be involved in this. *
. 1
ln view,oj a possible publicity angle involved in "thismatter,
I, called Assistant Director Nichols and. informed him of the above
information and of the fact that Chicago was going to interview Harvey.

had askedthe Committee Staf to draft a

the Pau _g3ggy case in Chicago. This was
purely an informal conversation.
ld B rden he wanted to be very I to; 0
cautious_in his phraeeology because he' * G rnmentcould not inject the Federal oue Z

he should give'consideration to applying
this statute solely to certain highly 92

be so technical it would take a Philadelphia

"In regard to the entry of hr; Paul Harvey and myself into the.

Harveywas captured by a guard at the Argonne National Laboratory-
almost innnediately after he had cl-imbed over the fence surrounding
the technical area of the Argonne National Laboratory. I would
estimate that Ivir. Harvey was captured within thirty seconds" after
he had climbed over the fence. I would also estimate that Mr.
Harvey was not more than forty'or fiity' feet from the fence; at ~
the time he was captured. At the time Mr. Harvey surrendered to
the guard and threw up his hands announcing that he was Paul
Harvey of ABC1 I was lying on the ground approxi. mately ten to twenty,
feet from Mr. Harvey. I was apprcuunately fifty feet fromwhere
the guard was parked in the patrol jeep.
