- -Dear Mr. Hoover, V -
l ~_./I
I am coming to you to see if anything can be done about
- this Rev wanting unpatriotic remarks be taught in the schoolI
y .92. " ~ system. 1S against my country, and in every war since the first I I
er , _ world war Ithere has been some of my family fighting. ' _
Why"a*r_e these communist allowed to bring their diabolic
schemes into our_schools: They won't allow the Bible and prayers in
the schools, but the communist are sure gaining a foothole in this country.
A he 9 N I You can see it everyday. _ The left wing comes right out
5* 1-. and says what they like , but let anyone who is called a right winger'. which
~ v -is the old American way! they are almost shot when they stick up for United
1» ' . States. _ - ' _
" While I am about it - I think that Tedennedy has to much
I to say favorably for the communist. He- wants us -to scrap nationalist '
China and accept Red China, then his remarks about that -- Hill. I can't
think of the name of it. Just because _he is a Kennedy, he thinks he
- can get away with murder. ' " " . ' .
"again when I have prayed that that person wouldn't get in, .the Lord has .
answered my prayers. I prayed that Kennedy wouldn't win in Oregon and-
- , he didn't. I prayed that he wouldn't get Calif. but I still feel like my "9}, I prayer was answered; .WOu1dn.'t you? L! _.-mg .

Dear Sir:
Since the gi , Se-bod was found in Massachusetts
in the bee seat of the overturned ear of 5enaor
Edward F. ennedy; worked in Washington, was born in
N 'ew' ZT'e'r s'ey anEI~ wa. s" buried in Pennsylvania-, doesn't
her death some under Federal jurisdiction?
If this is the case, I cannot understand why there
was no autopsy'to learn whether the girl was already
dead before the car turned over into the'water.
Surely an autopsy would have been held if the "acci-
dent" had occurred to anyone without the Kennedy
money behind him. 56

The first xneager press reports ~vvhich' appeared on Sat-
urday, including an interview with the Chief of Police,
rnade no rnentioh; of any injury to. Senator Kennedy. lEIovv-
ever, .a day or two later, it was reported tha,t=£hesuffered a
slight concussion and a back injufy; -and- when the .Senator
appeared at-l92£iss Kopechnes funeral; he was Wearing a neckbrace- i "
Senator {Kennedy appears -to have a very convenient
niernory. He recalled that he dove repeatedly in an effort to
find Bliss I§opechne, yet the car -was found r_es1iir;g- on its
top» in only eight feet of water with the window on _:bhe
driverYsY :side open. Under these circuinstances, diving as
such "i?V'O!J.1ii: not have been required. Kennedy, an excellent
's'92vi1n.nier, oshould have been able to stand on the car, slip
down the side, and through the window- Even »an inexperia
enced rssivirnrner should have 'had' ino difficulty under -these
eonditions." - x
Failing in his own efforts, Kennedy could have surn-
naoned -help froni -»any one of five cottages located between
the scene -of the accident and the cottage to which he re;
turnd, according to- his story; on foot. There Inight well
have been a ~p<_:|c1;ét of a"if';i1;1 the car which could have keptthe young_ lady involved <a~1ive for-* a considerable period of
191.13 . - at
The Senator's 1nincl_ was perfectly clear about the
diving, clear about finding his vvay -back to the cottage -
wvhere the party was beingdield, and equally clear about5
¢elin:rl>i:n'g into the 'bac_l~::'seat of a -car and being taken to *
his acco1n1no'dations in-*'Edgartpvvn. Yet he failed to_seek
Iii-11> end 'fai1ei_i to report the -zrnatter to» "the police until
eig}1_t_ or ten hours after ~the accident, when he appeared
at Police Iieadquarfers with an attorney at his side.
Incidentalily 'it has never been explained how Kennedy
got off the island to return to I92/Iarthas Vineyard. Since the
last ferry '11ad- left long before we presurne he returned by
private boat. Also illivis irnpossible to -understand how I§e1'1--
_.:t1,1_e<fly got _lost' ~"too1; the vvrong route. It has been
reported-"he_1;ad driven _t}1i§ area frequently and was thor-Qoughly fiainiliar "vfith; it. ' . .
IE"i1addition, it is reported that Kennedy tvszo CD111?
pa11ionsret3.1rned to the scerie_ of the accident via the 8:15
- =ferry Saturday rnorning. This was .prior to reporting to
" the pol-ice. Th-is aidds I'Il§7S-t¬2'I§7"t ! the nfnlddle-
Ted Kennedyis integrity has been open to question since
the day he was throiivn out of IIarvard for c_heatir1g,- andizlhisdentire niess reri1indsus -of a line We-recal1 frorn. child-oo : - - »

- The fact ~that ~192/Ir.:_I{ennedy pleaded gui1ty_ to_ the

V .An attorney in Cook County, I11. , disfcovered
that Chicago's Mafia was behind the Fever increesing fraudulent

I was a victim of one in San Francisco on Jan. 18, 1967,
which was sponsored by State Farm Mutual Ins. Co's agents.
The lawyers I hired falsified against me. I had to do
myeown investigation. Hfound the syndicate had the protection of
. lawyers, judge, doctors, & the police director in San Francisco.
I still have most of my evidence.
Please do something about this fraud befoire it

n" . ,Dear Sirze g:i4$k{¬}mZjZ>¢/36?:5: g-?~E:Z&g~ f
After the recent disgraceful act on the part of one of ou public 1%figures of our nation, we are questioning what is happening to our way Qof life. And how this particular character in question, can get away Ywith; as the saying goes, "with murder!. Regardless of the circumstances,and his pesttion in tka status he holds in ouraxsmmental Body, - *
Now, our question is, "Why has this particular individual, who hasbrought such a disgrace upon our way of life, and ignored completely thelaws that he has had a part in, be completely absolved of this terrible Q
crime committed upon an innocent victim, that has paid with her life as , .a result of this act. n
Has our nation fallen so low in decency and order, that we must ,allow a man of this character to go scot free, and shown such clemency i
Without trial, Without the procedures-necessary for the punishnwnt of <crim, and others in the very same position, almost always, have to pay f,/the full price for their utter lawlessness? - V _ l
_If this thing is not brought to justice~before the American people, .there is something criminally wrong with our ruling bodies, And that alsoshould apply to the Federal Bureau ef'Investigation, without fear or -retaliation . , _ _
, We believe, that as American citizens, we deserve something better, pand that every individual regardless of who they are, should, and must demandfrom our leaders ~and the Governing bodies of the-law, see that hhis manbe brought to justice, and pay the consequences of_his crime, And soon, _
Z we are unable to express in.word, what we feel atya time like this,when our young men are giving their li*%§ on the field of battle, and our Astronauts going to the plants in thaétni of science and what little pridewe derive from such an adventure , and this individual be allowed toescape the punishment that is due him;REc_ _$"_57-£.";;';.»...:~ §?Jun Our prayers will be, that God rn'é%g ju gment, will bring yimidown .Yin humiliation before Him, and the American-people that he'ha3 $Bv§@;HDWcdépfor some times For the disgrace that he has placed upon not onlymhis familyg;92. his Government, but_the people of America, as well. GodJgrHt$m%¬t'he willifs not rest day nor night, unti; he comes clean, and admits his gmnlt, id b6@¢ explains the true situationas it was on the night of his*e§cap&m§ " b7c,} a t p _ _ CORR1_11sru withwe pray that you Mr. Hoover, will exercise every effort pose b eon your part, to see that this case is not concluded at this tine,.bnt that
everything will be brought to justice. Including the participants;I am sure that you will have the support and thanks from the American public

92_ By letter dated July 28, -19.69, Mrs. rote
complaining that once again the Kennedys are getting away wi, what
might be a serious crime. She "indicated that she did not write to

. Dear Mr. Hoover:
g Once again the Kennedys are getting away
I , with what might be a serious crime. I started to write the1 Attorney General, asking him for an autopsy on this young girl so
. K3 vIw _ hurriedly buried with no autopsy. But realized that his name is
Irish and he is a probably Catholic.
After hearing Senator Mike Mansfield, and reading
about the Maudlin telegrams and letters swamping Edward Kennedy,
after seeing the mob at church on Sunday trying to touch him,
I am terrified at what kind of people are we letting come into this
country. What kind of people will ignore the many variations of
his account of his actions that night? Surely, surely that poor .1
girl will have her autopsy so that if she is carrying the Senator's 5
child, she will be avenged. _
No man who was in the cottage with those young girls
i brought his wife,
You are the only person in the United States Government
whose wo rd Iaccept. That is a dreadful point to re'a*ch_. My people
came to Jamestown in 1610. Another branch came into Weymouth, Mass.
in 1620. My Quaker Harlans and Hollingsworths came over with
William Penn. So I am horrified at myself. I even welcome the atom
bomb. We have been ' sane to admit such Irish as those who ew to
the defense of Edwar enne_dy. b6i mm J, b"/c/s/ | . . I .

Dear Mr; Hoover,
I don't know What can be done nowiif anything,
but you are one of the ~few- men highly placed nationally who.-I - "
feel is still vitally interested in justice.
In Massachusetts we_ have just been treated to
a complete whitewash of Ted Kennedy after what amounts to
manslaughter, leaving the scene, §l;"_1j§,ijw_7ing to endanger and
probably all while drunk at 1AM with ~a woman other than his
wife. -- There isn't another man in any other state who could
have gotten off with. no penalty and such. quick hush-hush
treatment. The whole» thing makes; a farce of our law 'en_force- '
ment and courts.
. Isnt there anything that can be done »?' At the
very least he should resign." ' beVery truly yours- l WC

" Dear Mr.Hoover_';' writing to you on behalf of the recent %r Automobile accident of Senatorgdward .
, __192§I,_._EIJed_,__e_n1Q,e.d,;§r,. There's .a lot of questions surrounding this accident that remain un-answered1 The American. people have a right to demand an answer. This has all the indic t f 7 , - a ions o
'1 being a pre-meditated. murder.,'~ There should be a, complete senatorial, and congressional investigation as well ,as from92 your departmer'It.: to determine the amount of alcohol that Mr. Kennedy consumedethat night,and how much alcohol flowed at the party that night.
The girl should have a. ccmpleteautopsy, and a coroner's inquest, even at this late date* t d t ' ' ' ' ' o e ennine if she had been m_olested,raped.,_ and also determine if she were pregnant?
If these points were to be discovered to be true,it would disclose a motive: Then this._ would eiwlain the Senators queer behavior, leaving the scene o:£'_ the accident, and~le'p.ving-the girl in the water for 8 h
bor 9 ours before reporting the accident.
t an common man on the mm st:ceet,thereIwould have been. a complete Investigation!
2
Why was the policeman in the case, not allowed to continue the case.? If this had been
9, including autopsy and a Coroner's inquest. The law should make no exceptions because he, wasAP a senator. Why was this girl fmzr buried so quickly with-out an autopsy or a coron0r's in-
. 1;¢W_[1_, q_ues . t were not the other members of the party questioned.?Why was" everything hushed up
so fast?Was the Kennedy riches used again, to. buy everone o£i§,including his fellow senators
~ and representatives?
_ Could you. say that this was a respect£ul'party? men with 6 young girls a secluded." island cabin until 2-:00 A.M. in the morning;un-shaperoned; the men with no wives present:! ' I'd call it a wild whore-monging party!
V Why were none of the wives there? .Why was'nt the Senator at home with his wife watnhing
i the moon landin like ll th t ' ' g a e o her respectfull Americans were doing. Watching the moon-land~* ing with their wives.'!a;t home. !,This was supposed to have been a very important even't,But
apparently Senater Kennedy did not consider it so .Did He? He chose instead to be at this' wild party with 4 men and 6 young girls.This was more important to him.
These are some of the uu-answered questions that the American people want» answered,
and have a right to demand an answer.
A Do we want a man of this : low character to run for president or be pres-
ident over us, or to represent us in the se te f th ' na o e United States of America? I, for one,
do notl" ,
I trust that you will use all the jurisdiction of your office to investigate this
case completely. Justice should be meted out regardless of who the'party is. whether a common
on the street or whether it be a senatoriwhether he be rich or poor. .'Ihank you.

Senator Edward M. Kennedy
Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C.
Dear Senator Kennedy: _
An out-of-town trip has prevented me from writing this letter heretofore
but the events surrounding your accident at Edgartown demand comment,
even if belated. I realize that you personally will never see this letter;
* that a legion of workers in your office will short-stop this and many other
letters long before they reach your desk. A response must nevertheless
be made.
Senator, I am one of the "silent millions" of this country who, I'm ashamed
to admit, has never written a letter, or otherwise expressed his views, to
the President, a congressman or other national and state representatives,
or to the minions of the press and television.
But as a result of your accident and the obvious, self-serving whitewash
by the prejudiced liberal wing of the press, television news analysts and
local judiciary in minimizing, to the point of casualness, your inexcuseable
movements following the tragedy and your incredibly selfish decision not to
promptly report the mishap, as any conscientious, responsible citizen would,
I do not, Senator, intend to stay silent any longer.
For the past decade, Senator, a sickness has insiduously spread across
this country, resulting in a wave of crime, cynicism, irresponsibility and
deviationism, one of the causes for such sickness being the alarming, tragic
national decline
exception, every
on the street or
him who had left
* in his submergedin our respect for the principles of law and order. This
respect was on the brink, Senator, until your unfortunate affair pushed it
over. For much more was at stake here than your career or legacy. Without
adult that I've talked to, Senator, whether in the office,
in the neighborhood knows perfectly well that had it been
that-girl's body bobbing around like some innate flotsam
car for nine hours before notifying the authorities, he
would have been properly charged and subsequently imprisoned. The excuse
that "it could have happened to anyone" is of course pointless, ridiculous'
sand irrevalent when a breach of law is involved. The quick initial dis-missal and Writeoff of this straggggcase only serves to further make a, ¢ ¢ -I . ¢mockery of Justice and to stnépg en the growing contempt in this c u_for righteous behavior. ' /19>, l 7 a 67REC-T75 Q Im ii 92§ %lr*" 5 » .H Q x

Senator Edward M. Kennedy
August 7, 1969
Page 2
Your utterly astounding appeal to the people of Massachusetts for sympathyover three national television networks that carried, strangely enough,to the Western outback, bordered on theatrics and was an unfathomable act
exceeded only by your incredible walk0ut. '
The people of this country, Senator, are weaker today as a result of thissmelly affair. It is a paradox in its broadest sense, is it not, that atthe time two of the representatives of this country were heroically Walking
on the surface of the moon at considerable personal risk, another was
cowardly dodging the consequences of his own inglorious act. ' ,
Who is tampering with the soul of America? We know, don't we, Senator.

getting the Massachusetts Court to-squelch its

'the death of an innocent and beautiful young girl,

_"'owenstein insists," said orxirsizudent organizer, "that<1euv-,acs
studentsevery time we mention the war. He keeps giving us s,
that we do it his way, or not at all.-
Since the students have now rejected Lowensteins guidance,
Lowenstein has quietly been trying to underciit them, mostly by}
turning moderate Congressmen like Republicans Ogden Reid and Bobl
McCl0sky of California against the former McCarthy organizers. Many
Congressmen regard Lowenstein as their guide-to youth politics and,
now take his word that the moratorium movement is too far out to be
legitimate. Says Dave Mixner, who was one of those McCarthy staffers .,
most badly beaten by Chicago police during the Democratic convention
and who is personally committed to non-violence: Lowenstein has
been trying to destroy us. He tells everyone we're kooks, when _were
just McCarthy-Kennedy people. But because of him, wehave to spend!more time justifying ourselvesthan organizing against the war. i i

AN OPEN LETTER TO MY DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN FRIENDS
IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE: .¢ - .
"REAPING THEWWHIRLWIND" be 92 " * bvc
The moral fabric of our nation is in danger! .
The people of Massachusetts can elect Mr. Edward Ted Kennedy
their U.S. Senator for lifeL...that is their affair. As long
as he sticks to Massachusetts affairs, there is no problem. '
However, the people of 49 States in view of the Kopechne controver
do not want him as President or to keep his foot in the door of
the Presidency as SENATE MAJORITY WHIP, a leadership post with
great influence on national legislation affecting their very Livesand Safety. They cannot and will nottolerate the forced leadership
of a man who abandoned a trapped girl at the bottom of a pond
while he went to look for his lawyers!
The people believe that by his actions after the accident,actions
unworthy of a man or a senator, Senator Kennedy forfeited his
claims to national leadership. That,in effect, he has created amushrooming angry cloud of resentment and doubt as to the -
fairness of the ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE in America. "
The people ask why was the police charge a simple MISDEMEANOR . _when the usual charge throughout the U.S..in.accidents involvinga fatality is INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER OR HOMICIDE, with hearingsmandatory to determine the degree of negligence; _ " I
The people of 49 States ask "WHY WAS A BLOOD SAMPLE TAKEN FROM- '
THE DEAD GIRL AND NOT FROM THE DRIVER OF THE DEATH4CAR?"'
They cringe at the cold-bloodedness of the Senators "indefensible"
cover-up tactics taken with the conscious help of two lawyerfriends who were not in shock. They want answers to their question
"Was there a conspiracy not to report the accident to the police
during a nine hour period in order to save a political image?"" Is'nt this a circumvention of the law?" '
Since all three are lawyers and damgge has been done to the g
LEGAL PROFESSION, MARY JO KOPECKNE, THE ADMINISTRATION-OF JUSTICEIN AMERICA, the people of the #9 States want a final judgement
from THE COURTS and from THE COURT OF AMERICAN PUBLIC CPINION.. .e

The peopre of 49 States want a legal-determination and ACTION
, from the COURTS,THE GRAND JURIES, THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION
or other groups concerned with CODE OE ETHICS AND CONDUCT
, after an investigation to determine the right of these three
to retain their LICENSE TO PRACTICE LAW. The.people feel that
they should be made to answer personally for their failure
as PRACTITIONERS OF THE LAW to notify the Police-about a
fatal accident. - - _ - }
292
The people of the 49 States expect the DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
to concern itself by investigation, review and remedy the
misuse of theLAWYER-CLIENT relationship and its use as a
legal device and lobp-hole to circumvent the law to avoid
responsibility for personal acts.
The people of 49 States do not like the manner in which their
hometown Democratic and Republican U.S. Senators have been
dragged into this mess, put on the spot and subjected to a
continuing embarrassment.
If Senator Kennedy and his Brain Trust are sincere in his
implied declaration that he has no presidential aspirations in - I
1972, THE PEOPLE UF 49 STATES want him to take his foot out - ,
from the Presidential Door by voluntarily vacating the
LEADERSHIP POST OF SENATE MAJORITY WHIP.- By doing this he
will take the Senate and his fellow Senators off the hook.
Otherwise, the people will ask the Democratic Caucus and
ultimately the Senate itself to debate and force the issue.
The people of 49 States do not want Senator Kennedy's all-consumin
personal and/or family-dynasty ambitions to be imposed on them
arbitrarily, against their will and better judgement.
They believe that the UNITED STATES SENATE and its Democratic
and Republican membership deserve better consideration and
treatment than to have the sordid never-ending accident fallout
and the unwashed dirty linen from the Martha's Vineyard CookOut
dumped unashamedly into the Senate Chamber! b6

An Editorial: The Tragedy of Ted Kennedy _ Q
»
The Presidential image of Ted Kennedy has been shattered, ....
permanently and irrevocably.; . _< .
I As a man who aspired to the Presidency and th6T92fOI¬ to be the
I Commander-in-Chie of the Armed Forces he committed an
, unpardonable sin for a Leader. In-a dramatic life-and-death _
situation....... he panicked! -
Was it shock or was it cowardice? You be the judge! "
By panicking he sealed the doom of a lovely young woman who '
was left to die alone, without adequate help, and who drowned
sometime during an interval ofnine unreported hours to
rescue authorities. _ '
Had adequate help been sought by him or his two lawyer companions,
* within a half-hour, an hour, two or more hours after the,accident,
- could she have been saved 2 No one will ever know. It is a 1
matter of record however that air~pockets in submerged hulks =
saved many a life in World War II. l
1 THE TRAGEDY IS THAT MARY JO KOPECHNE WAS ABANDONED BY ANOTHER - HUMAN BEING WHOSE INSTINCTS OR MOTIVATION, CONSCIOUS CR SUB~4 CONSCIOUS, CHOSE TOSAVE HIS OWN SKIN OR TO PROTECT HIS POLITICAL
L IMAGE, RATHER.THAN SUMMON ADEQUATE AID.
" I don't remember! I was confused and in shockl". Grantedl,
but he remembered well enough to telephone HIS LAWYER and to
change his clothes before reporting the accident to the police.
By panicking he sealed his own doom as a leader in the Senate
and as a Bresidential candidate. To spare his friends and
- colleagues in the Senate further.embarrasment he should vacate
the post of Majority Whip voluntarily. ,
1
Americans can forgive an ordinary man who panics under stress,
but they cannot countenance this weakness in any_candidate for
President who will be in charge of the NUCLEAR PANIC BUTTON!
When the chips were down, .. Ted Kennedy failed himself,Miss Mary Jo Kopeohne, his family, his friends, his Party,' ?

Kennedy checked into his penthouse suite about
3 p.m. and for the next 45 minutes exchanged small
talk with a group of -local people. He changed his
clothes, and then departed for the Sands Hotel for
a private cocktail party for about200_persons which
was. hosted by Robert Maheu, chief of the Hughes-
Nevada Operations. He remained at" the hotel until
about 5 p.m., then returned to his Sahara quarters,

Aides said his back was hurting. He bathed - the

entered for the pre-dinner reception about 7 p.m.,
and spent more than an hour shakinghands; At
8:10 p.m,, the group made its way to the dais,
and the speeches began.
Kennedy's speech and the activities of_ the others
while they were on the dias was a'dquately- covered

some observed. The event lasted until 10:45 p.m.
At the conclusion of the dinner, Kennedy ac-
companied Jerry Mack, co-chairman of the event,
his wife Joyce, and their two daughters to the Sands
l-lotel.- They sat in the lounge talking until-about
midnight. Then the senator and the Macks parted
company. Soon, Kennedy was observed walking to
the elevators to the Sands high rise with. a- hotel
employee. Two detectives 'who were assigned to
protect him followed, but were unable to get into-'
the same elevator. They watched the needle stop
at the 18th floor. . r ' - ~
_ ' Kennedy Vaziishes High Rise .'
When the elevator returned to the lobby empty,
the two detectives got in and went to the 18th floor.
__There they met the hotel employee who had been
with Kennedy. He was returning to the elevator.-
Where is he?" the detectives asked. -
j The hotelman was-tevasive. The detectives
persisted and got impatient. '
Well, he's in.'theré,' just getting some rest,"
the hotel official said, pointing to room l_895.
Weret assigned to protect him, so we'll st'ay
here too," the detectives said, meaning an awkward
wait in the corridor outside room 1895. _
Soon the hotel employee returned with a key to
the room directly ac'ro"s'sthe corridor. The detec-, 4 .1.-

themselves comfortable. '
Mid/z1'gl¬ efres/u,;jze/zrs DeliveredMinutes late ,.-chey were alerted tothe sound of
f0.otsteps in the corridor. It was ayoung man in the
uniform of a room service clerk. He was carrying
a bottle of Scotch and a bottle of Vodka. He knocked
on a door of No. 1895. The door was opened by an
attractive bosomy bloride, about 25 years'old, and
a one-time showgirl before the Sands discontinued
its. chorus line. She took the liquor and ice and gave
the clerk $30.
Sen. Kennedy had a 7 a.m. flight for Springfield,
Mo., where he was to be the keynote speaker for
an agricultural group. So, the detectives were
pounding on the door before 6 a.m. to awaken him.
Again, the attractive blonde opened the door, then
slammed it immediately. A short time later,_a
Mexican-American, about 50 years old, alsowear-_
ing a room service uniform, knocked at the door.
The girl opened it, and the__room service waiter
pushed a table containing a breakfast spread
into the room. Sen. Kennedy and the girl sat down
to breakfast.
- About 10- minutes later, the girl left the room
alone_. Sen. Kennedy emerged _a_ few minutes later,
joined the two detectives and the three returned
to the Sahara where he could checkout of his room
and leave for the airport. There was little con-
versation "- there was nothing to talk about.
The story would never have needed telling had
it npt been for Mary Jo Kopechne. I
P0/itical Twist T0 Water Pollution
Washington has its Potomac, Cleveland its
Cuyahoga and Detroit its Lake Erie all of which
have a common denominator - they are cesspools
of industrial and household waste. Pollution is
closing in on the Vietnam-war and crime in the
streets as examples of human helplessness. I
Nevada, which hoped to be the brilliant American
exception, is becoming ever more concerned about
the quality of water in Lake Tahoe and Lake Mead.
In alarm, the I..as' Vegas Chamber of Commerce
turned to the ~l-lughes. organization to underwrite
and analysis of the problem in the south.
The. task fel1_on Hughes man John Meier, who
prepared_ a detailed study of the water pollution
problem and a solution, which -received wide press
coverage. _lt concludes that the water can be useful
if it is depositedsomewhere other than Lake Mead.
But, involved in su'ch »a project is the fight through
a maze' of bureaucratic and political hurdles. Since
the pollution of Lake -Mead is comparatively recent,
it cou_ld_ be cleaned up "for a fraction of the cost of
a similar project for Lake Erie. The Meier solution
involves a self-financing plan since the waste water
would be sold for agricultural purposes, and the.
nitrates and phospates of Las Vegas effluent are
the ingredients which make the grass grow green.
Whatuwas unforseen with the Meier study was
that the youhg executive would become so embroiled
in the mat_ter_that he is going toe attack it on the
political level. Look-for Meier to quit the Hughes
organization before the end of ,th'e year and run for
one of the ,state"'s highest public offices where he
can grappel with air'and- water pollution at its
bureaucratic 'center., And, it.wi1l all be with the

_, -the. FBI- operated out of its building at llth and
Bridger Streets it had two~ r ording studies anda capability for 200 wiretap_§¥ FBI now Qccupies
quarters in the new Federal uiuilding at Bridger
Street and Las Vegas Boulevard South, along with
400 telephone wiretap circuits.
Whereas the 1965 wiretapping violated Nevada
law, and the FBI agents, had they been caught,
could have gone to jail, the 1969 version of this
electronic invasion is being done with some
semblance of legality. Under provisions of the
Omnibus Crime Bill of 1968, wiretapping can be
done under an order signed by a Federal judge.
Orders apparently are being prepared in Los
Angeles, courierecl to Las Vegas by Mike DeFeo,
a member of the Rackets Division of the Justice
Department, and executed by the FBI. _ '_ -
Orders Good 30 Days 2 "
The administrative orders must be signed by
a Federal judge in the district. In this case, the
entire state of Nevada is a single Federal judicial
district in which three judges are empowered to
sign such orders. The court order to tapa telephone
or bug aroomis good for 30 days. It can be renewed
the investigators can show that some progress is
being made in_their case. But, after the electronic
eavesdropping is completed, the investigators must
notify the bugee within 90 days that they have
been listening. There has not been too much
conversation by or about» those. who» have been sonotified, but they presufnably include many promi-
nent local persons and public officials.
Dzstr_z,ct/irtomey Bugged _ p
One of them who has not been notified is District
Attorney George Franklin, who told NEVADA
REPORTER, l called in an expert and found the
private phone in my office was tapped. The tap
goes outside the courthouse. They are tapping .all
public officials for information."
- Franklin said that a tap on his telephone line is
illegal in that the Crime Control Bill allows bugging
only--in the event that a person is suspected of
committing a crime. Franklin assumes that wire-
tapping of public officials for information is
illegal, and if such is the case, felony charges
will be filed and prosecuted.
Franklin is also of the opinion that the eaves-'
droppihg is beirTg carried out Without the knowledge
or cooperation of the Central Telephone Co.,which
a few years back had to defend itselff along with
FBI a ents in a multi-million dollar law suit forQ
g a '
illegally invading the privacy. of~ a number of
local gamblers. ,
, Phone Company Innocent?
On; a prior murder case," Franklin" said, the
telephone company refused to accept a legal court
order authorizing a wiretap to trap a suspected"
murderer. They said they would rather be in
contempt of court than to risk any more'ci_'vil
litigation for -invasion of privacy/_ , '.
Franklin said he has no objection__to any" wire-
tapping providing the _prov_isions- of the Federal
law are followed - and he's not too c_oncerne_d- about
the tap on his private line. He has had no complaints
from local persons about their _l_ines being bugged,
probably because they are lawyers, -bankers,How did Franklln,get suspicious of his telephone? The first "m"p"r I ggf was that there werenumerous tapsgtown, inc uding taps on all of the
telephones in the ederalcourthouse, so Ithough I'd
better have my line checked," Franklin said.
Another employee_ of the Federal building said
his boss in Washington told him a few months ago
that the bugs were back on."
There is no excuse for any wiretapping in Las
Vegas," Franklin said. There is no way in theworld to involve Hughes, Kerkorian or Del Webb
in organized crime. They d do muchbetter to do
their wiretapping in Chicago, New York, Phila-,
delphia or,_Los -Angeles than in Las Vegas. _
- : _Leg¢_z,lzty Quesrzoned '
,The' _qu'estionT"of wiretapping legality will be
debated for years. The United States Supreme
Court has already ruled that evidence obtained
through the use of listening devices is not admissible
in court. Can Congress, thr_ough last year's legis-
lation, legalize an act which the courts say is wrong?
Many persons in the legal profession say NO.
Some say that only an amendment to the U, S. Con-
stitution can bring the investigative fruits of a
wiretap or bug into the court of law as evidence.
The answer to this perplexity could well be decided
on the trial level by Nevada's Roger D. Foley or
Bruce Thompson, the two U. S. District Judges
assigned to this- state.~~ The-final decisions, of
course, must come from the U, S, Supreme Court,_
and the_courts are usually three.-to four years
behind the issues; 'S S _A Botched Job '
Installation_of the exotic circuits and listening
devices by the- FBI wasnt without its lighter side.
The Feds.werent satisfied with the. job the Central
Telephone Co. 'prpvided. So, the FBI tore up the
concrete flooring to get at the telephone cable, in
order to replace it with a job by their own elec-
tronics experts. The job was botched, short cir-
cuited, and every telephone in the building was out
of service for a few hours. This in itself is
interesting in that the telephone company forbids
any do-it-yourself , tampering with its equipment.
If you get caught, _theyll cut_ off your services.
' DeFeo, the attorney who is drawing up the wire-
tap court orders, is no stranger to Nevada. I-le works
in the Los Angeles office of the Department of
Justice and was a key figure on the prosecution
and conviction of Maurice Friedman and T. Warner
Richardson, -both former Vegas gamblers, in the
Friars Club gin rummy cheating case. DeFeo also
spent a number of yearsin the Las Vegas office
of the U. S. Attorney, and it was during the tenure
that Levinson was indicted for skimming.
Levinson ret-aliated with the bugging suit against
the -FBI, and -for a while,-itlooked like a's.tandoff.
. When Levinson dropped his civil action for
damages against the FBI agents and the telephone
company, the government dropped its tax evasion
charges against him; and Levinson bowed out of
Nevada gambling. No one would admit.thata deal
had been made,-butthe facts defy any other expla-
nation. The__ result is that business discussions and
deals'are' still being made_ in moving _cars and on
street corners. Las -Vegas continues to live up
to its reputation as the" most bugged city in
the'nation." __ * .- '_
