Mr. WincerrowdThis is purely informative and is not intended to go to ;f_'°,;:,,;:n";n _flit!. Miss Gnndy
On receipt of the information from the St. Louis Office 3
to the effect that Clara Perkins, cochairman of the St. Louis Committee
to Secure Justice for Sobell, had stated that this organization was planning tohave a contact made with former President Truman, possibly through JudgeO Brien of Detroit or another individual named Harper who are allegedly close
friends of Truman, with a view of talking Truman into reading the John y
Wexley hoot; and thereafter make a public announcement which could be used
by Souell and his group, I wish to advise that I called Bill Hillman and advised!' him in confidence that we had been tipped off from a reliable source that the
' Committee to Free Sohell was going to have an approach made to his friendin Independence with a view of getting his friend to read the Wexley book onthe Rose11be1gs and then issue a statement which could be used by the Free
rjobell Committee. 1 told Bill that in Party circles where the discussion hadtaken place it had been suggested that a Judge O'Brien, who was a reported
friend of the former President, was to be approached to approach his friend andthat the Director felt that his friend ought to be tipped off.
Bill called me late Friday evening and stated that he had just talkedto Mr. Trunian who was most grateful and appreciative and asked Bill to relayhat-it to us how warmly he appreciated the gesture and to express his deep
appreciation to the Director for passing the word to him and that Bill shouldtell the Director not to worry that if anybody approached him on the Rosenbergor Sobell matter he wouldn't even listen to them but will "kick their rightout of the office." He further stated that he knows of Judge O'Brien'in_Detroit,O Brien is no friend of his and there is another Judge by the name of Harper whois "a political hat" who is not a friend of his; that these people better not approach
him because if they did they would "get thrown out on their ear. " He stated he
_ would not be a bit surprised, however, if they did try some stunt like this sincemid Eleanor" has been trying to hoodwink him into an Americans for DemocraticAction ADA! conference and in fact had called him just a few days previously anda.<:.l:ed him to address an ADA group. He, of course, was polite to her but he toldBill that he could not understand some of the things that Eleanor did such asfronting for the commies and that as long as he lives he will never address another
"ADA meeting. "
Bill stated that the old gentleman was most grateful and at least onthree occasions said to tell Edgar how warmly he appreciated his thinking of him.

Q Q
Bill then told me in the strictest of confidence that the former
President is getting ready to go on :1 trip through Europe and has made a deal
with the liearst press whereby he will report what he sees in Europe but will
not write about politics on his trip. He specifically stated that regardless of
how keenly he felt about how foreign affairs are being handle he would not do
anything which would ernharrass a present President in handling these things.
With 16{;';3.1Ci to the Wexley book, I also told Bill that it was predicated
upon the premise that the Rosenberg and Sobell cases grew out of a frameup
and a 1 rantie effort on the part oi the Truman Administration to disprove the
charge of being soft on Reds and to do this it claimed the Russians had stolen
the atomic bomb.

A ¢.-,._-_
g Trcmcndous'croprcss has been made in criminology during the last cen-YYFT. Tn tho past the criminal was nunishcd in a spirit of revenge, without
proper consideration of the many factors which gave rise to this Droblem of
social maladjustment. l als are not born such. They are usually the un~fortunate product of " environment, experience and social background.
In view of the many economic and health factors, which frequently giverise to criminal tendencies, there remains a tremendous job for society to ac-
complish. Cur statesmen must eliminate most of the outstanding inequities in
ctr social structure, providing greater individual security, improved health,and a better economic opportunity for all our people. Then a most imtcrtant
* will be taken in removing some of the main reasons for crime.
The war -- greatly complicated the problems of law~enforcement agenePleS. In the first place, there remains the constant danger of saboteurs, spies
enemy agents, all anxious tk undermine our military power and the publicmorale. Fortunately, the splendid work of t?e Federal Bureau of Investigation,
under the able direction of Fr. hoover, has mace these enemy efforts of little
value. However, constant vigilance is still necessary for the preservation of
}i?% and property at hone.
Another factor, which hit agencies charged with the maintenance oflaw and bYdPY. has been the call to arms of many of our most active officers.
Ye? despite all handicaps, utilization of modern scientific methods has sacs
possible Yhm r-cord achieved. As in all matters mortal there still remains» :

zr ¢&» sluzminy increase in juvenile delinquency. Youngsters, still in their
'teen age, constitute one of the major grouns of our criminal offenders. For
the &"éFage layman, it is difficult to realize that the most frequent arrests in
any male age group is seventeen, ej een and nineteen years, respectively.
ln a review of the 194; figures, it is especially shocking to learn
that in a democracy where the votin privilege is denied until the a e of . E . 3 _twen -one, our youth under twenty-one years committed 35 percent of all robe
[zTiC$, 52 percent of burglary, 35 percent of larceny and 63 percent of auto
thefts. Cf llO O00 crimes committed arainst ro ert" full 40 ercent cf the 1 E J 2 _@" erdcrs were less than twentvone years old! what a sad commentary upon the
training of the youth of America! '3
As officers charged with the duty to protect society from crime, you
have a most serious responsibility. You will require the active cooperation of
all law-abiding citizens. For the most effective discharge of your duty, youE118 the help of everv social arena} created to improve living conditions in

Tic modern law~enforcemcnt official needs far more than a night stickand s run to maintain peace and order. The efficient officer must know the
nature and extent of local social problems. He must use scientific tests, as"V71 I Psychology. As a orogra.-. = leader he should effectively mobilize allvaila agencies in his local 1 and tnroughout the country, for the preven-

On Jun"-.ary 13, 1955, Admiral Strauss, Chairman, Atomic Energy
Comuainsion, made the following comments to Liaison Agent Bates. Strauss
has been advised that the second edition of ex- President Truman's memoirs
will shortly be released and in them he rnakes several references to General
I92.£.acArtimr. ii.-iacArthur received a copy of the material pertaining to him and
found some very glaring inaccuracies. MacArthur was elated that he had
"caught" Truman in aicieliberzzte falsehood and has written a reply which will
be pubiieileci. Iccording to Strauss, MacArthur commented, "At last I have
TlUZIza.Il n-he-;~»re I want him. "'
Strauss also commented that the Truman memoirs also gave credit
to former AEC Chairman Gordon Dean for the development of the hydrogen
bomb. Strauss stated this, of course, was not true, that he himself had
been reseoneible and that this had been proven by previously released comments.
Strauss stated, however, he intended to make no reply.

-mu; reference to the telegram which the Director received
irom iurmer President Truman on May 10, 1956, Bill Hillman called me
Friday aiternoon quite excited. Before the iormer President left this
morning, his secretary showed him the telegram which Truman had sent
to the Director. Bill noted that the figure "23" was used to indicate the
aniiiversary. tie immediately spotted this and the secretary stated that
he hrid transposed the figures as Mr. Truman had dictated "32." Bill
told me that the iorrner President was quite warm when he told Bill about
sexiding the telegram and commented on what a good job the Director had
done over the years.
Bill is about to sign a contract with the Hearst Corporation
in which event he wiii join the Truman party in approximately a week or tendaaye and will help in writing the series. I told Bill to let us know his itinerary;that it Zlitgiil be that our people could he oi some assistance along the way. He
stated that he had frankly plfmnd to ask about this before he went. The Truman
party consists oi Mr. and Mrs. Truman, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Woodward and
the hriner Presidehtks eetrretary, Stanley Birch.

UNKNOWN SUBJECT,
also known as
Charles Hernd§n§j
Harry S. Truman,
A person using the name Charles Herndon opened an
account at the City Trust Company, Bridgeport, Connecticut,
in June, 1971, with a small amount of cash. He deposited a
check for $735.00, dated June 4, 1971, payable to Charles
Herndon, signed Harry S. Truman, account #3082822, drawn on
National Bank of Washington, Washington, D. C. The check
was received and paid by National Bank of Washington on
June 15, 1971, and City Trust Company, Bridgeport, Connecticut,
credited the funds to Herndon's account on June 18, 1971.
About a week later the man using the name Charles Herndon
returned to City Trust Company, withdrew $700.00 from the account
and left a balance of approximately $61.00.
9 when he opened the account, the unknown individual _
told City Trust Company that he was employed by International
Harvester Company, Hartford, Connecticut, and gave an address
in New York City. Printed checks were mailed to the address
in New York City but they were returned to City Trust Company
with the notation that Charles Herndon was not known at that
address. International Harvester Company has advised City
Trust Company that Charles Herndon is unknown to that company.
_ Truman signature on
the $735.00 check to the National Bank ofand has returned
