Purvis was painstaking in
his pursuit of the lawless. He
was credited with rounding up
most of the hoodlttms who fol-
lowed the late Roger the Ter-
rible! Touhy and with sending
Touhy himself and his three
lieutenants to prison for the
lkidnaping of John the Bar-
Mr! Facmr.
He engineered the raid on a
Chicago North Side barber-
shop which resulted in the
capture of Vern Sankey, then
"public enemy No. 1," who|
later committed suicide rather
than face trial for the abduc-
tion of Charles Boettcher II,

SUBJECT: ARTICLE IN "THE CHICAGO AMIERICAN,"/- ""
MARCH 1, 1960, ENTITLED "WHY DID
PURVIS QUIT FBI AND FAME?"
The above-captioned article specically stated, "FBI diicials in
Chicago andwashington, D. C. , were silent today on Purvis' reasons, but some
secretly said their top G-man quit tor two reasons: ! Purvis Ielt he should?
have been raised to No. 2 or 3 man in the Washington headquarters of the FBI
because of his outstanding record. ! Washington officials, jealous of Purvis'
I ame, quarreled over the tremendous amount oi publicity he had garnered for
himself. Purvis, an intensely proud man, quit in anger."
With reference to the statement attributed to Chicago Agerts, "some
secretly said " Mr. Tolson instructed: "Ask SAC who is doing this talking. " with
respect to Ii and ! above reecting the reasons for Purvis' resignation,
Mr. Tolson noted, "I never heard this.
' I called SAC Lopez in Chicago today. I asked him if he had talked
to the writer of this article, Don Sullivan, and,if so, what did he tell Sullivan.
Lopez stated that Sullivan called him February 29, 1960, and asked: ! Did Lopez
know Puryis? Lopez replied that he did not know Purvis. ! What kind of person
was Purvis reputed to be while in the I-Bl? Lopez told Sullivan he did not know
inasmuch as he was not personally familiar with Purvis. ! Why did Purvis
quit the FBI? Lopez told Sullivan he had no knowledge whatsoever why Purvis
quit the FBI. He stated Sullivan not ask any further questions and did not
to anyone else in the Chicago Oice. Lopez stated that this verydgfinitely is
_s_pecu1ation on the part of Su11ivan._ He indicatedztthe possibility or! Sullivan having
talkedtolfh. *Iftorney"Iiéiie1i,*but stated this was highly improbable inasmuch
as Tieken did not, according to Lopez knowledge, know Purvis.

, _ n _-...e..__._...Eta captioned magazine contains a '7-page article re gel __ g __ rvis
and his exploits while a Special Agent in the Bureau. The only reference to the
author, Al Silverman, on the basis of information known about him, is one mention
that he edited a manuscript for "Saga" magazine in 1956 which was published under
the title "The Case History of a Turncoat." This article was actually written by
Irving Wallace and dealt with the story of an American soldier who was converted
to communism when captured during the Korean War. Silverman's name was
carried as co-author only because he edited the original writing of Wallace.
00-404372-182!
The article in "Pageant" is similar to many previous stories written
about Purvis and gives much more credit to his participation in the Dillinger and
"Pretty Boy" Floyd cases than actual facts warrant. The author is very sympathet
to Purvis throughout the article and leaves the definite impression that it was throu
the organization, ability and brainwork of Purvis that the gangster era in the early
'30's was brought to a close. It was stated that no satisfactory reason was given
for Purvis' resignation from the FBI although there were rumors that he had an
argument with the Director and that he was upset because steps were not taken to
prevent the deportation of Anna Sage who had originally reported that Dillinger was
going to attend a theater on the night he was killed. The article quotes Purvis aftei
his resignation was announced as saying, "Frankly, I'm glad to get out of here."And Silverman states that Purvis was madabout something. 76 K _ Y". _ 5 /7 em;. . 1The last portion of the article deals with Put*fie'_ecttv_1ttene§ § pleft the Bureau up until his death on 2-29-so.

There would appear to be no purpose in writing 831 man to poin ;
out the inaccuracies in his -article as he has obviously oldained rmation frl
previous stories written on Purvis and any letter would onl rye _tB~%,igll: ill

The grgnggylormgg Ne_w_s_" of Florence South Carolyn, inits issue dated 12/ 60, carried an account of thi§ 5 rH5lle ."'E'hong that the
article was written by Al Silverman, the Director has asked "Do we know anything
am-at Silvsrman? H."
There is attached a memo from Mr. Jones to Mr. Dehoach dated
12/16/60 which reviews the article as it appeared in "Pageant." The only
reference to the author, A1 Silverman, on the basis of information known about
him, is one mention that he edited a manuscript for "Saga" Magazine in 1956
which was published under the title, "The Case History of a Turncoat." That
article was actually written by Irving Wallace and dealt with an American soldier
who was converted to communism when captured. d.1.n'ing the Korean War. Sllverman's
name was carried as co-author since he edited Wallace's original writing.
A search oi Bureau indices on 1/ 3/61 failed to show any additional
information identiable with Silverman since his background is unknown. -The
New York Office has been requested to determine Si1verman's identity through
established contacts inasmuch as the editorial offices of Hillman Publications,
the publishers of "Pageant," are located there. ' _ .
We have had favorable relations with "Pageant" Magazine, and
they have printed a number oi favorable articles regarding the Bureau. The Director
saw Alexander Hillman of Hillman Periodicals on 5/6/60, and we cooperated with
him concerning an article and special picture story on FE tours. 5.5
t We will follow closely and advise. ,,,. 1--L.

I knew Mr. Melvin Purvis on a casual basis
during the time he was alive and also his son. _I
went to school in Florence, South Carolina for one
year and it was during this time that I became ac-
quainted with Mr. Purvis and his son.November 10, 1965
Mr. J. Edgar Hoover
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Hoover, -J .
Since the death of Mr. Purvis and after
trying to get some information together as to the
cause of this death, I understand that this was orig-
inally ruled as a possible heart attack, but through
some various sources I understand that there was some
question in the doctors minds as to the cause of death.
After doing some intensive reading on Mr. Purvis
background and noting in one article that I read that
someone closely connected with John Dillinger who had
been sent up through a conviction of Mr. Purvis had 5 3
made the statement that he would take care of Mr. 1
Purvis immediately upon his release from prison. s;
I am not sure how correct my dates are, but___from what I can find out it seems as if this gentleman "92-,===;was released from prison one or two days prior to DI] moiPurvis mysterious death. n,___ 92 ll; '
92 '__
I have discussed this matter and ' _mation that I have compiled with Mr. Brmno
with the Central Intelligence Agency, during mytrip to Washington and we feel that this certainly. 4&7 ;
would be worth looking into. Mr. May is my wife's, Q?Father's, Brother and this is the reason that I brought -
;
this information to his attention and asked his opinion ,
on it. _-

On Monday, April 15, 197 , Director Kelley is
scheduled to meet in New_!prg_City with Elton Hefkule,
President and_Chief Operating 0fficer_of the American
Broadcasting Companies. For the past nine years, the
ABC network has telecast our Sunday night television
series "The FBI"!; and according to Quinn Martin,
ABCTV has until April 15 to advise whether it desires
to renew The FBI for a 10th season on the ABC network
beginning next September.r
In contrast to the fair and factual treatment
accorded the Bureau by ABC in its telecasting of our
TV series, the ABC network featured a new motion pic- ,
ture last Tuesday night April 9! that represented a _
cheap, tasteless eiort to commercialize on tho name
of former SAC Melvin Purvis and his association with
the FBI. z
This motion picture, entitled Melvin Purvis,
G-Man," wasgespecially made for ABC's Movie-ofthe-Week
feature by@American lnternational_Pictures. It was made
to serve as'a"§il3t mprogram for possible adaptation to
a television series that would dramatize exploits of the
FBI-ieaturing the late former SAC Purvis--in the 1930's.
The ABC Network did not advise us of its intention to havethis film produced: nor were we af§Lorded_an opportunity toreview the script. 1 iii} ,3-

To Whom It Hay Concern,
I would like some information, please.
Back in the days when Government nen iere called G Hen, insteadof FBI men, I had a<§::uor 3rd cousin who worked for your organization.
His name was Melvin is. However, my relatives did not keep very
good track of'E§Eh other, so now I am wondering, can you tell me the
noes of his parents and grandparents, so I can locate them on my
family tree? We both descended from John Purvis and Sarah Ginn who
had seven children. I descended then, from William Purvis who had
17 children, as did one of his brothers, so you can see why my ances-
tors lost track of each other. '
If you cannot give me his parents and grandparents names, can
you tell me any other place I can write to find out?
I will really appreciate any help you can give me, and I am in-
closing a stamped, self-addressed envelope for your convenience.
Thank you very much.
