Luciano is a gangster in the Al Ca-

Not long after the escapade in Cuba,
Sinatra made his way to Hollywood, by
way oi several Mexican resorts. In

Mortimer said Sinatra was a liar. He said he did no
even know Sinatra was present in Ciros restaurant, wher

ON JUNE 3, MORTIMER ANNOUNCED is court that he
_ was willing that the case be dismissed, subject to the
epqrovsl of the judge, and said Sinatra had pub1ic1yiacknow1-

obliged to accept this settlement because otherwise Sinatra
might induce the court to grant him many postponements.
Mortimer had made one return trip to California already
and apprehended that he might have to go back there half a
dozen times, neglecting his work in New York. Even then,
he mi ht one da discmer that ' his b th d f d t e g y ' ,1n a sence, e e en an

i ' ' the failure of the prosecuting witness to answeritlo his name.
Soon after he was arrested, Sinatra's license to carry a.
pistol was revoked. The fact that he had e pistol was news
to t-he public and this incident evoked some comment on the
fact that he had not carried arms against the Nazis in the
war, although in the last days of the European war, and with
increasing ferocity after V-E Day, Sinatra had condemned
aggressors, dictators and "intolerance." . '. - - turned up in Cuba for the social season=i X §_ Caiii '

an ressive clamor. _
ONE E. J. KAHN, JR., wrote a series of laudatory essays
in the New Yorker which were reproduced in book form,
warmed over in Look and condensed in one of the digests.
A number of tliose columnists who publish prattle and pub-

York, the Miamis, Havana and Saratoga, came to Sinatrefs
help. i .
Ed Sullivan, of the New York Daily News, impugned the
professional integrity of legitimate journalists . who had
iaithfully covered the fSinatra- Story in the Havana and
Hollywood episodes; He wrote that their motive was to pun-
ieh Sinatra because he gave of hisspare time and energy "to
persuade kids to be nice to minority groups. ' .
He mentioned inatre. about a dozen times in one hrief
visit to Hollywood and undertook to make character for
him by proclaiming that Sinatra had turned to painting and
was giving a number of his works to charity. -Charity takes
a severe beating in the publicity of the glamor belt.
In the same brief season, it was observed that a mfmber
of other personalities, frequently mentioned and praised as
members of the 400 of the night clubs, radio and the movies,
had old court and courtmartial records which were more or
less forgotten.
There were smugglers who had been caught and had
paid nes. There was a draft-dodger who had tried to buy a
eihief petty oificefs ratingand' a aaie assignment ea.rly'in
the war.
And there were Bugsy Siegal, a vicious New York and
Hollywood gangster, and his friend and bodyguard, Allen
Smiley, a gambler and underworld character. Smiley had
been indicted with Tommy Dorsey, the hand leader, and his
wife of the moment, Pat Dane, charged with hacking off
come of the nose of Jon Hall, an actor, at a. birthday pai'ty.
All these were of Hollywood society. ' ,
MANY $UCH NAMES OCCURRED and recurred in the
seemingly aimless and innocent babble of the Broad-
way, Hollywood and radio eolumnits day after day. Each
pleasant mention of this kind, especially in material which
is widely syndicated or broadcast on national chains, is of
incalculable value, although hardly lpriceles.
' Sinatra: most affectionate biographer, Mr. Ielm, states
that his income is about $1,000,000 a year. Molt of that, of
course, would be taxed away. However, an all proiessional
celelnities lmow, the cost oi? the maintenance oi a protes-
lional name, or the roglamorization of a name which has
been deglamorized or tarnished "by unpleasant publicity,
may be legitimately charged off as a business expense;
In a way, the Government might here become a partner
some day in a deal to create an utterly false reputation for
a low and dangerous character so that the low anddangerous
character might earn more money and pay 92m0re taxes to
the treasury. That, however, is just one of the complica-
tions of a complex civilization. '

ONE OF the rapturous writers in theEu concert of propaganda to rehabilitate Frank Sinatra s
artificial reputation, may, in this instance, be an inferior re-
porter, for all his seeming of thoroughness and authority.

wEs'l'nn.00K reamsject, but nowhere in his eulogles does
he report that Frank Sinatra was" ar-
rested on Nov. 6, 1938, charged with a
sexual offense.
He does tell us that Sinatras ir,~-
eome is somewhat more or less than
million dollars a year, out of which .
might be noted, he could distribute, say,
$500,000 as a deductible business ex-
pense to stimulate favorable publicity
and to suppress unfavorable informa-
tion.
Kahn writes also that some of
Sinatr-as public earnestly believe that
his birthday is second in importance to
only that of Jesus Christ.
Sinatra's publicity has been a phe-
nomenon of propaganda. Almost all
of it since his involvement in two un-
pleasant episodes last Winter has been complimentary. And
most of it has been absolutely gratuitous, unjustified by any
Git-y Desk news standard.
Doubtless. much of it has been free propaganda in the
nature of public mash-not-es from ideologians of the Far Left
ho have thus repaid Sinatra for his pretentious servi es"
t some of their political projects.
' R. KAHN DID HIS PRAISEFUL ESSAYS origin lly
for the New Yorker, but he got a lot of other mileage
out of his stories. Much of the same material has later ap-
peared in book form, in a digest publication and in one of
the weekly picture-books.
hlevertheless, this noted authority on Sinatra failed to
tell us that on Nov. 28, 1938, in the Criminal J'md.ioial District
Court of Bergen County, N. J., Frank Sinatra, of Hoboken,
was charged with seducing, on a promise to marry, a young
woman of good repute for chastity, whereby she became
pregnant.
Sinatra was released on $1,590 bail provided by the Peer-
less lasually C-o., of Haekeusaek, and the complaint was
withd1~a9292'n on Dee. 7. 'lu-o weeks later Sinatra was arrested
again, eliarged this time, with adultery with the same girl,
now described as a married woman. The eae was referred
to the grand jury, whicli found no bill. lt was then dismissed.
Sinatra was about 22 years old at the time. This age
conflicts with the accounts of his propagandists, but it is core
sistent with the age which he stated on the official passenger
list of "the Pan-American Airways last Feb. 11, when he flew
from Miami to Havana with the Fischetti brothers, Joe and
Rocco, of Chicago. Sinatra was not merely a passenger on the
same plane with the Faschettis. He was with them.
The Fischettis are related to the Capones and have many
interests in common with the Capone gang. On this passenger-
list, Sinatr.'*.=~ age is: given as: Ilil. I-IQ '11.:-a not fnmnlia AP..~ 4.. 111-.1»: .- . +1 .~ -4' 1'11] ,.I '92- I 1 I .+ ..,- M.n 92:r|ili|_92 lll J...-Ju, rail lll¬ e;'u;_';;35:ii{J|[l'}1 u1El92;:il'iui'l|. 13 iii!92~i1r> 9292r'-i-3 l":/'..;"i"A I-»'~ ---

The Fischeitis are related to the Capo-nes and have roan,

suasive as it might be, had the trouble with the girl occurred
in the 19405.
R. frsiiu is ONLY our of many writers, iiwldinsM night club, radio and movie columnists of hiew York and
_Hoilyw0od, who have minimized incidentsof Sinatras career
which other persons might have viewed with severity.Dozens of these interpreters and propagandists pur-port to be authorities on the personal histories oi all such
celebrities. Many of them draw outlandish salaries as re-porters. " But not one of them has ever reported this episode,
the most dramatic in Sinatra's lite. _Mr. Kahn concedes that Sinatra has several friends
who, while not precisely desperadoes, arefairly rough-andtumble individuals. He quotes one of Sinatra's friends as
saying that such persons "are always lookiflg °921t W 5 thatnothing happens to Frankie and it makes him happy to thinktheyre tough hombres. We are not told 1:11? they M1115apprehend that anything might happen to a decent man,
keeping good company. _Again, Kahn says: He is often surrounded by ii strolling
wall of self-appointed guardians, and he doesift have any
uffinial bodyguar riow, but he has had f.h8lll.
When Sinatara slugged Lee Mortimer, the New York
theatrical reporter, in Ciros, in Hollywood. without warning,
striking him from the side or from behind, Mortimer said
"$inal:ra and three men jumped me.
Now, touching Sinatras relaxation with Luciano, the
Fischettis and others, in Havana, Kahn writes: One of his
acquaintances this past year has been a Chicagoan named
Joe Fiselietti. He was a man. of unsullied reputation him»
self, but a. member of a family not unfamiliar with the due
processes of the law. It was through relatives of Fischettfs
that Sinatra, while vacationing in Cuba, was induced to shake
hands with Lucky Luciano. -
That is Kahns version. He stands on it.
BUT ONE OF SINATRXS OWN GROUP has referred to
a wild party, in which the idol of innocent American
girlhood took part in the Hotel Naclonal in Havana, as that de-
bauch. Among those present were Sinatra. Luciano, the Fiscliet-
tis, a Chicago journalist of the night club and underworld rim
and s. number of women. It was a very loud party.
Such was the handshake with Luciano. one of the foulest crim-
inals of the age and 9. man soon to He deported even from Cuba. for
conspiring to start ii. great narcotic trade. The United States
even cut off legal narcotic traffic with Cuba until he had been
taken out of action. Sinatra knew who and what Luciano was
and he reveled with him.
A strip of moving pictures shows Sinatra coming off the plane
in Havana accompanied by two Fischettis, Joe and Rocco. Sinatra
is carrying a small baggage case. hardly big enough for more ep-
parel than a shirt, but apparently quite heavy.
This is an appropriate point to quote an official of the U. S.
Bureau of Narcotics: The fact of his being associated with the
Flschettis warrants our giving him Sinatra! more than passing
attention.
Another Government investigation revealed that Sinatra's
friend, Joe, was a partner with Rocco and another brother named
Charlie in a. suburban Chicago gambling dive. Rocco was described
as a member of the Italian secret underworld organisation, the
Malia, of which Luciano was the leader. ,
Rocco is named in the passenger list just above Sinatra and
is with him in the candid movie shot. In Chicago, all three Flschet-
tis. live together. Joe and Charlie professed to be antique dealers,
-but Joe, in official Government papers. 89-V6 his Ocllpl/i 38

The Narcotics Bureau interviewed. all three Fischettis on oili-cial business. ' I

They operate the corrupt auxi1iaries-
gambling, narcotics and prostitution. '
They enjoy the flattering attention
of a whole corps of journalists of a.
peculiar sort, few of whom ever had
city-room training or any education be-
yond the primary grades. These propa-
gandists, subject to no verification,
discipline or any other standards of
news journalism, have the power to
confer public recognition, even dis-
tinction, on individuals who meet their
favor for any personal reasons.
wnsmoox um They have the power to intimidate,
condemn, silence and banish actors,
others, for personal or political reasons.
They may suppress uncomplimentary facts about individuals
and create fantastic artificial reputations and arouse sym-
pathy. This has been done notoriously in the case of Frank
Sinatra, who tarnished his own reputation last 92Vinter. Of
all the celebrated Broadway and Hollywood radio re-
porters and columnists, not one ever reported that Ihe was
once arrested charged with a sexual offense.Sinatra has been thrust upon the public as a crussier forclean thought and living and tolerance among A1 erican
youth, particularly innocent but excitable young girl's. This
was a quick and directed change from his old propaganda by
which some alarmingly large element of adolescents had been
directed into scenes of emotional public behavior. Sinatra,
somehow, had acquired a. power.writers, singers and
_E FAD A SPELL. There was nothing quite like this inH the history of mass hysteria. The bobby-soxers were
staying up far into the night on the dark streets of New York.
There were episodes here and there over the country-shop-
lifting, picketing, waywardness. It then became advisable to
indicate that Sinatra was a very wholesome, domestic fellow.
He had been hired to play the role of a fine priest in a.
movie version of "The Miracle of the Bells." Therefore, in a.i1 3 L. ii.

gdonis, a. mighty men in the unitié'riirorld' cIli1Iew York
and Broolflin, recently moved to Bergen iiounty, Ii. J., where
Moore is the absolute underworld boss. It was in Bergen
County that Sinatra was arrested in 1938 on a. charge of se-
duction and causing the pregnancy of an unmarried young-
women. Sinatra was in the rcadhouee stage of his career
and Mo:-etti, or Moore, was his friend of some years. The
complaining witness developed a husband in about one month,
so the charge was reduced to adultery which, naturally, was
beneath the notice of a worldly Bergen County grand jury.
RTO INDICTBIENT WAS FOUND and Sinatra was dis-
,L charged. The incident did indicate a certain precocity,
however, for it will be observed that the facts of the case
never were tried and that this experience of the youth so
soon to become the idol of American girlhood was by no
means common to decent young American males, however
poor.Incidentally, Sinatras political appeal has been base
on the piteoos pretenses that he was a poor boy and was
called at Dago when he was a child. He never was dirt poor,
however, and always had a comfortable home in Hohoken,
where his father is a- captain of the Fire Depament, an im-
portant political appointment in that jurisdiction.
There were many respectable Italian-Americans in the
area, so the picture of little Frank Sinatra as a sensitive and
oppressed member of an ostracized minority is an invention
of-self-serving and self-pitying publicity. By choice, Sinatra
became the friend of Morctti, who was no credit to the Ital-
ian community. Frank appears to have been tough only in a
aly and tricky way.
I-le never made a name as an upstanding. ma.nfc-shion fighter.
In his only confirmed public stfight it was shown that he slugged
his victim, Lee Mortimer, with a sneak omen from behind or from
e. blind side. Mortimer did not even know Sinatra was near.
NOT ONLY SINATRA but the claqtle of radio and syndicated
newspaper columnists and propaga-ndists who advertise under-
world personalities are clamorous iciolators o! the late Roosevelt
and partisan Democrats. Many of them and, of course, thousands
or magnates and actors of the movie industry and radio enter-
tainers elbowed for room in the spotlights to show themselves to
Roosevelt and the other party bosses in the March of Dimes and
Birthday Ball rites.
The hangout: of such people have long been the unofficial
political headquarters of the bosses and aristocrats of the new rul-
ing class. It was at Toots Shors restaurant, in New York, Ire-
quented by Longie Zwillman and similar trade, that Bob Hannegan.
the Postmaster General, then chairman of the Democratic Notional
Committee, who also makes the place his spiritual home in town,
invited Sinatra to visit President Roosevelt in the White House.
This was toward election time in 1944. Sher was in wrong
with the O. P. A. at the moment over red points for steaks. but
Hannegan invited him. too, and Sinatra and Sher were duly re-
oelved.
. Prior to this time, Sinatra had been classified 1-A by his draft.
boa-rd but had not been called. E. J. Kahn, Jr., a very friendly
biographer reports that after the visit with Roosevelt, Sinatra gave
$1.500 to the Democratic campaign fund for the iourth term.
A few months later, in March, 1945, he -was permanently de-
ferred on final orders from Washington.

At 11 a.m. today Assistant Director L.

I advised I knew nothing about that, but that there hadbeen a rumor around the building that either SINATRA was suppose<to testify or was not going to testify before the KefauverCommittee, which is cheduled to hold some hearings in this build-ing in the near future; that I think probably there is some pub-lioity coming out soon on the Kefauver Comittee and Sinatra.
Mr. Nichols mentioned that he had heard that the KefauverCommittee were going to begin hearings up here next Monday.

Problems of honing, racial and religious tolerance Ind jobs were raised by

The cmoment of the Senator. who served on the panel

Fritnk Sinatra's hiring of Alb¢!'tAM&1tZ. Com-
munist writer and a member of the notorious
"Ho1 00d Ten." has led to disclosure oi a letter
Malta rote to the editor of a newspaper in Com-
muni East Germany six years ago.
is was in 1954--seven years after Maltzs
Com unist party membership card was introduced
into the record oi the House Un-American Activi-
ties Committee. The date serves to establish the
continuance of his-loyalty to_the Communist cause.
In the letter iviaitz condemned ."'Adenauer
Germany" .as a. revival of all that darkened
Germany's past.
He praised Communist East Germany as a coun-
try of "people moving into the sunlight of fra-
ternalism, of peaceful, constructive labor, of inde-
pendence from imperialism."
He denounced his own c0L1IltI'y_9.S an intellectual
and cultural tyranny where economic persecution
and imprisonment are visited upon those who refuse
to dance to the beat oi the drums."
The letter follows:
E551-0?, Tiiiiiche Riindschaii
Berlin~G. D. R.
Dear Colleague:
BY means of this letter I would like to express
my very deep appreciation of the honor paid to
me by your newspaper and others, and by various
individuals, on the occasion of my 45th birthday.
YBL fond Personal sentiment, however keen!.-I-.
write to you. _ ' '
ltis the appreciation that I, and thousands of
ogressive Americans. feel for the um . the
ltural leaders, the political leaders, of t Ger-
an Democratic Republic. Let me explain. _
In the German tragedy that began n the
eichstag re in 1933, there was a cultural aspect
that many Americans. and many in all countries! ,
found bitterly disheartening. _ -
This was the demonstration that under given
historical conditions even the most advanced cul-
ture could turn upon itself with narrow, frenzied
ehauvinism, cast out with venom some of its best
thinkers, artists, teachers, scientists, pervert its
humanistic tradition, reduce its fertile minds to
silent conformity.
< There were some Americans who said of this:
There you are--that's the way the Germans are."
But there were others of us who said, No! This is
what can happen in any land when a people are
betrayed by their woes and by false leaders. There
is another Germany, we said. there will he an-
other Germany."
And "we retained in our hearts and tiiintiiiile
Germany oi Beethoven and Goethe, of Kepler and
Ehrlich, of Kant and Hegel, of Marx and Engels,
o Mann and Seghcrs, of Thaelmann.
How goes if. now? The world scone has altered
it bit.
Now thieving, demagogic politicians 1' the
' tellectual Crctin, Senator McCarthy, are ecid»
there s an additional reason that -prompts me to in: more and more what books American may
: _ . . _'__._
.51 -
read. what films they may see, what radio and
television programs may entertain lie. corrlllltl
thcil leisure hours.
Qhanvinism and conformity per ade our uni-92'ers§#.ies, scientists are harnessed ti the military,
ecozjiomic persecution and imprisonment are visited
upon those who refuse to dance to the beat of
drums. J.
is there any wonder than that I, and so many
other Americans. look to the German Democratic
Republic with appreciation and indebtedness?
Your people, your bitter history, can teach us
not to despair over our people or our present
trials. We see in Adenauer Germany a revival of
all that darkened Germany's past, broqght its
people to slaughter, its cities to devastation.
We see in the German Democratic Republic a.
people moving into the sunlight of fraternalism, of
peaceful, constructive labor, of independence from
imperialism, of 3. culture in which Goethe, Bee-
thoven and Kepler would have felt at home, know-
ing that here man is valued above profit.
Now it is your turn to comfort us, to say "there
is another America. Now we must draw strength
from you. Now, when I find my work honored in
country, but iiishonoied ii]? the Fascists of
Am lion, I can know that I am fit company for
decal t men.
