Mr. and Mrs. Danny Kaye
The IBI conducted a limited Selective Serice investi-gationdgpncerning Danny:§§ye, known also as Daniel aye and
David Kaminsk in August, 1944. This investigation was predi-
cafed upon receipt of information from two sources who alleged
that Danny Kaye, the well-known stage comedian, simulated acondition which caused him to be rejected for
service under the Selective Service Act. ~
Our inquiry developed the Jfact that
successfully passed his preinduction_
43 Sub
Kaye was
was processed for induction
in the latter part of October, . The Induction Station
wthvritiesordered him for observation to a military hospital. After three
days of observation in the military hospital, Army doctors advised
that Kaye was unfit for military duty.
The facts of that investigation were presented to the
United States Attorney in the Eastern District of New York who &#39;
declined prosecution.
Subsequent information appearing in our files reveals
that Kaye was involved in various activities of several communist
front groups. He had appeared before the American Youth for
Democracy, an organization which has been designated pursuant
to Executive Order 10450. He had expressed himself publicly as
critical of the House Comittee on UnAmerican Activities. He
participated as a fund raiser and was a member of a group which
flew to Washington to protest the action of the House Committee
on Un-American Activities against the Hollywood Ten. The
Hollywood Ten" consisted of a group of actors and writers who
were cited by a Congressional committee as being subversive and/or
members of the Comunist Party.
