WHAT GOES WITH I'lCC-AB-THY?
,
>7It 518.5 rarely happened that a United States Senator has been investigated once!: "It"has
ever happened that a United States Senator has been investigated twice. It has never happen
that before the report is in on the first investigation the second one is started. '
/
In =1 word, it begins to look as though the enemies of Senator McCarthy are intent on kec
him on the witness stand all the time to prevent him from investigating the infiltration by
' mmunis ts into the government of the United States.
The Mundt Committee set up a show with an open courtroom, the hearings duly televised ax.
he public getting a clear picture of what went on. Those of the public who saw the entire s
=- telev ision know that the newspaper reports were not always objective. The public became c
0101.18 c the fact that condensation can lead to distortion.
- The televising of the McCarthy-Stevens Hearings either produced sentiment in favor of
'-Carthy or it raised a reasonable doubt as to the bone. fides of the witnesses.

-hey would notthis week, the I-Tundt Committee is going to file its report. My guess is that
a very mild one. That must also be the guess of Senator McCarthy*s opponents
have pursued the matter further. I

'.'ita.in as a Rhodes Scholar, is headed by Senator Watkins of Utah, who is a conservative Bepr
"*-can, a Bishop of the Mormon Church, and is generally regarded as a very fine person.
This new investigation is not going to be televised. It will not be on radio. It will
' 1 open session with the press reporting what goes on, But, as Fulton Lewis said, when he rr
.-one of the newspaper reports, he wondered if what he read was what he saw and listened to.
e shall. have to wait until the transcript of the record appears before we shall. really know
-me truth of the hearings is, Unless these hearings are televised and on radio, so that the
5 lblic can 12%: the voices of the witnesses, we shall not have the nhole truth of what is
aid done by the Watkins Committee.
There is also a report that this Committee has decided that if they do not like the way
the hes: ings go, they will order the press out and hold the entire business behind closed do
Then the public will know nothing except some small abstract of the testimony given as a
no waiting reporters. This will not be good enough and will undoubtedly lead to a public pr:

And that brings me to another point:
A United States Senator is elected by the people of a sovereign state to represent it in
f th nt're American people' he speaks onl he national Congress. A.Senator does not speak or e e 1 ,
"r his constituency which is his own state. The Constitution is perfectly clear on the subjc
92i I shell read the provisions:
The Seventeenth Amendment reads:
r f each State eleci "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senato_s rom t ," the ptople thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote..."
There is a further article that is pertinent to this subject which reads:
"Earh house shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own M1
ere..."
I find nowhere in the Constitution a direct statement that the Congress, in either House
as the right to censure a member, although that has been done. After all, if Congress could
b of the minority Or to .ercise that right freely, a majority could censure all the mem ers - .
special case, Wayne Morse, Senator from the State of Oregon, is an independent, belonging t
Th ha been occasions when his one vote could have prevented the Republicans from arty. _ ere ve
f o binn*ion of Republicans and Deocruts t iganiziug the Senate. How easy it would be or a c m u
nsure Uayne Morse?
The courts have held:
"The right to expel extends to all cases where the offense is such as in the judgment of
1is inconsistent with the trust and duty 01 a Member. A Member, for examp e, ;D&t8 o~ House
= expelled for treason, for conspiracy against the Government, or for a high misdemeanor."
No one has accused Joe McCarthy of any of these crimes. The most that has been said is
has cwnducted himself in a manner unbecoming a Senator, What is a manner unbecoming a Ser
H ,' be diff'cult to define For instance, it is my view that Senator Flanders sci ,at will very 1 .
manner unbecoming a Senator when he put on a show at the McCarthy>Stevens Hearing of doddez
' C rth a note and dremat lt the Hearing room, interrupting the session, silently handing Mo a y ,
elking out, disturbing everybody. If a private citizen did that, he would probably have be:
.'I8ShBd n
The question that arises here is who is the paragon of virtue in the United States Senai
Hose conduct is so pure and holy that he can throw stones at Joe McCarthy? Maybe, if these
allows gang up on Joe McCarthy, they will set s precedent that could be used against them.
* f thi= tion o check on some of these r sight prove very interesting and add to the gaiety o A a na 0
inns ~- and perhaps we shall catch the noblest oi them all, who knows?
t blshed it in Burton v. The United States that "Congress has authorit The court has es a 1
eke it an offense against the United States for a Member of that body, during his continnan
rtm t in lation to '¬fice, to receive compensation for services before a governmental depa en re
roceedings in which the United States is interested..."
No one has accused Senator McCarthy of engaging in such activities. The rule does not.

92The European embassies have been shocked by Admiral Leahy's recent revela-
- tions of how Ambassador Joseph Davies, zionist author of the Soviet propaganda book,
"Mission to Moscow", went as a special emissary for the President to London in I935
and permitted his own pro-Soviet fanaticism to lead him to insulting Hr. Churchill:
~§. the greatest statesman of a Europe which had just survived the tyranny of a Nazi
.41ya Germany which Mr. Churchill so early had warned against.

; ' When Senator Gillette D.iowa! accused foreign coffee traders on the Iew
York exchange of having reaped enormous profits, he was threading on politically dan-
gerous ground. As chairman of a senate agriculture subcommittee, Senator Gillette
had just heard a witness, Hr. Leon Israel of New York City, importer of green coffee,
describe the international coffee market situation. Recalling how most of the German
coffee market is under black market control, it was obvious that the Iowa Senator was
--showing extraordinary political courage in discussing the enormous profits, which an
, international organization makes on the world black markets.
Those who know the back stage setting of the post-war world trade deals do
not take seriously the beautiful humanitarian myths produced by the different
government propaganda machines. They were surprised, however, by the recent blunt
attack on the socalled Marshall Plan, by none other than the Chairman of the House
h Rules Committee, the Honorable Adolph J.Sabath, w of said:ff-' C 07

' Leadership in Washington, D.C. on February 3, I950, by the Honorable John E. Peurifoy,
Deputy Under-Secretary of State:
"THE GREAT NATIONS OF THIS IORLD, THOSE THAT HAVE EKERTEO MOST MARKED

LEADERS WERE MEN OF VISION IITH GREAT SPIRITUAL OUALITIES. THE DICTA-

Ugave me the at ed stoi-y released by the Nortl? E
American Newspaper Alliance by Roy Ro_ rts of the Kansas City Star under
date of De_g_er_nber 29, 1953. At the end of -'s release, Roberts states it is _p__
a pity that a bipartisan commission of three outstudm?erhocrats and three '/ ~ /I
outstanding Republicans, without bias on the issue of Communists in the i'
Government, could not be set up _to go over the_great*yma__§s of_pri__ateria__1 tlgFBI is gatherigg; that this would keep both the probe itself and the FBI out
of political implications. Roberts then observed that the Loyalty Board set-up
did not work and Congres certainly is not going to surrender the power of
investigating this Communist topic.IUIJICT: //I, /.,/f I/___<
I am wondering if sometime it would not be well to talk torabout this rather than have the oice take it up with Roberts.

November 4, 1954
DearvSenator:
Some time ago, for your interest, 1 sent to you a copy of
a brochure I have published} "Will Senator Joseph R. McCarthy's MethodSave or Destroy America?" In this pamphlet, based upon a twenty year
study I have made of the Red conspiracy, you will find some revealing
facts of how Communism operates and how successful its methods have
been in destroying many of the freedom-loving nations of the world.
In the present congressional "tempest in a teapot" over
this question, the decision of the honorable members of the Watkins
Committee, recommending censure of Senator Joseph H;-hcCarthy for
J trivial expressions of anger and exasperation against obstinate wit-
nesses and senatorial foes of his investigating committee, reflects
the thinking processes of the Nineteenth Century rather than the
realities of today. -
These six elder statesmen, sincere and honest though they
are, arrived at their decision in the light of an age of diplomatic
courtesies and parliamentary decorum, an age now passed into history,
when the world was at peace and life flowed along as placidly as the
Old Mill Stream.
They represent the Rip Van Winhles of our American leade:~
ship, who may awaken too late from their long sleep of complacency to
find the world crashing about their ears.
' These six senators seem, in their report, to he C0mplete-T
unaware of the fact that a savage and ruthless force is loose upon ts;
earth, that it has captured the imagination of half the peoples of 1;:
world and that America, the last oasis of freedom left in a half 3111
world, is the only nation that stands between this force and tne tot:i
destruction of civilization.
While this cancerous growth is spreading, we talk of Sen»
atorial dignity and a proper respect for the rank and prestige of an
army officer who, suspected of covering up for his superiors, shrwei
nothing but disdain for the Chairman of a legally appointed Co"?es,~
ional committee investigating the Red menace, which threatens the 7;.
existence of our Army.

We summon Congress to a special session to consider the
techical propriety of a Senator's language but on the real question,
to which the Senator was seeking an answer-as to who promoted and
gave an honorable discharge to the Communist suspect, Percss, both
congress and the American people are still in the dark.
who is better qualified to understand the dangers which
beset us than those Congressional leaders charged with a study of the
Communist conspiracy and delegated to expose this evil that like a
deadly poison is spreading within the American democracy?
Do not these men, who have given years of their time to
this problem and been in actual contact with the subversives, know
more about the proper methods of handling them than the members of
the Watkins Committee, whose experience is limited to a few weeks
in a committee room, talking among themselves on a trifling matter
of-investigatorial procedure?
Who are better qualified to know than the members of the
McCarthy Senate Sub~Committee, the Velde Committee, the Jenner Com-
mittee and before them! the DieS Committee, who were all unanimous
in their decision, that the methods finally evolved by Senator McCarth
are the only methods that will throw the pitiless light of publicity c
these Red conspirators who always work in the dark and under false bar
ners, to deceive and mislead the American people.
Since the late thirties, just before the outbreak of World
War II, when Congressalarmed at the extent of Red infiltration--con»
stituted the House Committee on Uh-American Activities, headed by Con~
gressman Martin Dies, down through all the Congressional investigating
committees to the present day, the story has been the same. The in-
vestigators have found the Communists dangerously entrenched at ever;
level of our government, with their agents and fellow travelers often
holding key positions in those departments where government policy is
made.
And when the members of these committees, of both politi~
gal oarties, have sought to alert the country to the extent of this
evil infiltration, they have immediately become the target of not
only the Communist conspirators themselves but the American fellow
travelers, the leftist press, our misinformed intellectuals and our
misled spiritual leaders, who spearheading a "vested interest in err,
have by misrepresentation and smears sought to belittle the investiga~
tors and undo their work.
When dealing with such traitors and subversives, you carni
use the kid glove approach. Senator McCarthy, in his methods, has DUI
followed the change of methods apparent in our military and diplomatii
approach, meeting force with force, and challenge with challenge. int
because of these methods, Senator McCarthy has at last struck "pay ff~
goaded the government into action, alerted the American people, and z
ited the enemies of Communism into a formidable force that holds t-

to the Communists defeat.
A dramatic note of warning to America of her danger was
sounded by Senator Pat McCarran just before he died. He had waged
a campaign against the Reds for years and was preparing to attack the
findings of the Watkins Committee, even before election; But, ad-
dressing an audience on the dangers of Communism, the heart of the
old warrior was stilled only a few moments after he had said: "At no
§l1I1s_in em; irhisrternr has it11e_,Un_1U1e<-1 _S.tates,b.esn_ir1 -3-L1,¢l~,_i@QP§%F@l*La5 ii
is today."
' and yet some of our political leaders of both parties say
that the Watkins Committee's report is satisfying.
Satisfying whom? The New York Post, whose editor, a self-
confessed ex-Communist, gives the leftist slant to its news reports
and daily editorials with which it seeks to poison the minds of its
misinformed readers-the paper that on the day the report was releas lg5%¬¥?e§ its entire front page with but two huge words, "MQCARTHY
Guilty of what? That he didn't always speak softly when
dealing with those who are trying to wreck America?
By such inflammatory words as "GUILTY", does the New York
Post misconstrue the news, painting anlnnttuthfpl and_mi§le8di3§_Di¢§g
foraitsluninfgrned readers, and by implication, dressing up a simple;%pQrt,ofsenatog1al censure to sound as if the honorable Senator fro:
W sconsin had committed some serious crime against the people of Ameri
Another "American" newspaper, the Communist Daily Worker,
headlines its report of the Watkins Committee's findings with "GOOD
NEWS FUR AMERICA" and starts its editorial under the caption "THROW Ta
BUM OUT."
It is my sincere opinion, Honorable Sir, that from the fao
at hand, if the United States Senate votes to uphold this report, it
will not be "throwing the bum out," it will be l@tting_th§ bums in, an
that will be "GOOD NEWS" indeed for the Kremlin, but black news for
America.
If McCarthy deserves censure, then every God~fearing,
loyal American in our beloved land deserves censure too.

Dear Mr. Stassen:
- As reported in the New York Tunes of August 26th, the Foreign
Operations Administration has added platinum to the list of permissible
American exports to the Soviet Union and the Iron Curtuin countries.
. In a statement accompanying this lifting of the embargo on plati"
and other products, you said:- "I am convinced that this revision will :§~
sult in a net advantage to the free world of expanded peaceful trade and
more effegtiye_contrpl of the_uar potential items."

Do you know that for three long years after the start of the Kai:
War our industry was prohibited from buying an ounce of platinum, and yet
every manufacturer of fine platinum jewelry kept his full force working?
Where did this supply of platinum come from? The black market was the Oil
source.
During all these years, who supplied this blzck market, and more
important, who is now responsible for offering this war potential metal To
export to our enemy, the Soviet Union, which_i§,the_le§gest_produegr of

first part of this question that I published in 1951. The whole sordid
story is there.
92_ You will observe, from the facts in this brochure, that agents of
the two English and Canadian corporations that are the largest producers
of platinu in the Western Hemisphere! were appointed to authoritative
positions on the War Munitions Board in Washington, through both these
wars, and denied the American jewelry industry a Single ounce of platinum
to keep its plants going.
_ The excuse, of course, was to protect the Allied war effort. You
will observe, however, that during this time, England placed no restrictior
on the-use of platinum by the English Jewelry industry and that Canada plat
no government restriction on the use of platinum by the Canadian Jewelry 1:
dustry, but that the American jewelry industry and the thousands of workers
it empl0YB.- was put in jeopardy to build up this segment of the failing
Canadian and English economy and, more important, these foreign corporaticr
through their representatives on our War Munitions Board, sought to forcs_z
American jewelers to use the worthless metal, alladium, as a substitute cwhich it had an unlimited supply and no market? or go into the black market
for their platinum and pay the exorbitant prices this well supplied source
could command.
However, Mr. Stassen, this is all water over the dam. The shockir
thing to me now, is something far more important to the free world than the
life of an American industry. Itdis therlifeeand futugeofitne gmerigan
natign.
Is the American Foreign Operations Administration following the
appeasement policy of the English government, whose former Labor premier
and representatives of the Churchill government were recently being wined
and dined by the Reds of Russia and China? Are we, too, about to join Male
picking flowers and drinking Vodka to each other's futures, in a garden of
"Peace" in Moscow? With one hand we completely outlaw the Reds and with +3
other freely offer them the strategic materials to destroy us.
Is this the travesty we make of the ideals for which our youths
have given their lives to uphold? Is this the way to the "free world of
expanded peaceful trade?" Or is this the way to the destruction of our
American nation and the christian principles upon which it was founded?
I am sure the millions of fathers and mothers and young wives of those boy.
who have made the supreme sacrifice would like an answer.

Z Had these seeming threats been issued by any other section oi the CIO's P110 they
probably would have gone unnoticed in this day of the telethon. But the source was
the successful CIO Political Action Committee in New Jersey, the state containing the

Te The New Jersey PQC, because of the significant role it played in helping Gov.Rob2;t,§yner defeat the powerful Republican Party in that state, is considered s
pol tical weathervane in CIO. This state section of Halter Reuther'e national politi-
cal committee was the first to put its campaigning on a thoroughly scientific basis.
It not only has every ward in the state covered, and not only is a powerful part of
the new Governor's braintrust, but it also hopes to build Mr. Msyner into a running- I
mate for Adlai Stevenson in '56.
Futher evidence of its importance was demonstrated 'months ago when Gov.
Msynsr made the former head of the state CIO -- Oar olderman -- his "Secretary of

the AFL. His CID successor, Paul Krebs, originated the current drive to get from

appropriation.

' It would cos as no surprise to ms if the rest of CIO's Political Action Comittees
followed Mr. Krebs lead. Fur it is not too illogical to assume that the actions of -
this CIO official have, or will soon get, the approval of Halter Reuther. . i

until he was selected, with Reuther's appoval, of course, to succeed Holderman when
the latter went into Gov, Msyner's cabinet.
-.-With GIO actively on the side of the Army and its Secretary in this bitterness, it
is likely-that the Wisconsin Senator will strike back. If he does, he will, for the
first time, be thrown into open conflict with a powerful section of organized labor.%§
For the moment this may not sommd as startling as it is. But the fact is that there¬ii.,'.1~Z.§

HY- CID has, of course, been sharply critical of the Wisconsin Senator. It opposed
-him during the last Senatorial election. Its pess an its president, Welter Reuther,
have blasted him. But the Senator, to date, has not taken on either Reuther, the CIO,
or the AFL, for that matter, despite the fact that the leadership of both CIO and AFL
is for the most part deep in the Democratic Party.

appears to be over.
Neither Joseph McCarthy nor the aides of Walter Reuther can back down from thi
one if it develops into a serious public fight. "The Senator can survive sn adverse
decision by the comittee sitting for television. _But he can't survive an adverse
decision by the ccittee sitting on the Senate's money bags.
' This one will be a real war if it gets rolling.

MR. TOLSON: Q,J0-ifprfwhile talking to Senator{*lcCarthy on other matters, the
following items came up: .
n;{,_;_,,.,Mp, 1. Senator McCarthy stated that he is going to try to get,92¢M£{M-92 r.FRogers to make available to the Committee instances wherein Mclnerneyfailed to initiate prosecutive action against subversives. He stated
that no doubt there were numerous cases which Mclnerney squelched and
that by investigating these cases, he would not be investigating anyone
connected with the Eisenhower administration. I told McCarthy that Ildoubted if he.co ubly expect to have any success inasmuch ashis ilsociate Mr.-3 gn was very close to Mr. Mclnerney and likewise
was close to Rogers. McCarthy then stated he had talked the matter _
over with Nixon and Nixon thought it was a good idea. I then inquired .
if Flanagan was not also very close to Nixon. McCarthy stated they,
of_course, did know each other.
2. The Senator commented on his staff and the Committee
. d ated that he now feels very good over having former Special Agent
- on the staff and that he was very g1a_d_ _the Director finally
pproved r coming with the stag. I inquired of the Senator if"""
I underst im correct1y",""'that "it was his view that the Director hadapproved E coming on the staff. The Senator stated this was his
understanding, that he had deliberately not contacted the Director as
he wanted to be in the position of saying that he had not been in touch
with the Director but that he had been led to believe the Director hadapproved from comments from and Hg!, in fact the Senator stated he had 'Jean*==Gerr see the Director as he wégted toLavoi the£osi_t_ipn of talking to the Director I 4, ,g{_,"Q-5 ..._,.5 [,..,a~,-.,Q_4......l-£;.~92:=l'C=.f,...~;! -.1-~o»9-I .-."'l:92 '5 6!

. wavered from that which I had person ll conveyed to him some weeks' ago, namely, that we would not giveaa leave of absence, we would
not release him, we would not ask him to go to the Committee, we would
not approve his going with the Committee, that obviously if -resigned
_ and wanted to go with the Committee this was his business. I further
' told the Senator that I knew this was the position the Director had _taken with ileannie as well as Roy Cohn, that in essence the Director's Q-"-1+
position was that he would neither approve ror disapprove, that the 3

The Senator stated he was terribly sorry to hear this and _
saw nuydluh, he told Conn if dhn could not get a clearance for
he, the Senator, was going to appoint his friend, Professor Mg,
from Northwestern Law School, and that to forestall this, Oohn had
intimated to him the Director would not protest. I told the Senator
there was a lot of difference between the Director's not protestingand the Director's giving approval for -to come with the Committee
I further told the Senator I expected the next time he saw
the Director, the Director would literally and figuratively "give him
hello! '
I told the Senator that the appointment of -was bad
because it now placed a very tight restriction upon the Bureau, .
that we would have to lean over backwards because if at any time the
Committee came u with something having an FBI angle, the charge wouldbe made thatwas a pipeline and that it would have been so much
better to have ad an outsider. The Senator stated he understands thi
that he hopes the Director will not be too angry;
I am wondering if it would not throw a little. more con-
sternation in the ranks if I would take Cohn to task for tellingthe Senator the Director had approved going with the Committee.9 MW mM'd"--+u} "44?' ' ,§5 Q ~ dljnu 'fZ?Ihe thinks he can understand what happened, namely, the day the Direiiir5. _ _ , .

3. In the course of the conversation I told the Senator
that we were worried for fear that the cause had suffered and that
there was a very definite reaction setting in against Congressional
Committees and he would be smart to get off on some other subject.
The Senator stated he agreed, that he wanted to wind up the Voice of
America situation, he had some good information on the effect that
our stockpiling program was bad on American mines, namely, that we
have been buying metals from foreign countries and have closed down
our mines with the result that our mines are flooded, have not been
kept up and are becoming worthless. g

H. In discussing information the Committee had on the
smuggling of guns to Latin America, which is the subject of a
separate memorandum, I told the Senator I had to ask him directly
for the information as we had 'reviously asked ddhn, Gdiiid secretaryhad referred the matter to wt: in turn had told us
we could come down and review what in ormation he had. I told the
Senator quite frankly that we would not embarrass any Agent of this
service by sending him to that 5IIl@*I!8l$EIto secure anything.
The Senator personally got the file and gave it to me
was completely off in a corner andthat he was arranging to get
rinagan the dob as counsel for a shipping company in which Gline
Murchison owns an interest. The Senator then stated that he Just
couldn't fire Flanagan inasmuch as he has seven children. He further
stated that he had adopted the practice with the staff of trying to
take care of each staff member as a means of building loyalty. I
told the Senator he was shadow boxing, that certainly Flanagan was
not loyal to him and that he ran the risk of having Flanagan alienate
his chief financial support. I don't know how much effect this
had on the Senator. -

After brief introductions, > who is a tat, rather
repulsive looking woman of middle age, immediately stated that she knew why
she was being interviewed by the FBI. She then explained that
had contacted her on the evening oi 6-4-56 and advised her that he had executed
a signed statement admitting his partici atiori in the mentioned matter. At thispoint it became perfectly obvious that h had been attempting to evade
an interview with FBI representatives.
Tl e ' iterview with ~vas brief firm and to the point. 1 1: ,
She was visibly nervous and her hands shook throughout the entire time she was
being interviewed. She attempted to steer away from being 3.St{8¬l any questions kg
concerning the subject in point and at all times tried to rant and rave concerning "
the so-called "misdeeds" oi Senator Joseph R. McCarthy. She spoke of the
McCarthy "hysteria" and of the fact that she ielt that McCarthy got what was
oming to him. Eventually, after some bluntness, she was pinned down to
nswering the question of whether or not she had told _ "that it
as known hat the Director and Senator McCarthy were sexual perverts. "
hen took oii on D She stated he had no right to repeat a
statement out oi context which had been made to him in the private sanctuary
of her home. She then attempted to explain that several years ago at the time
when Time Magazine had an article concerning the censlirsoi Senator McCarthy,
she had remarked to that she had heard numerous remarks regarding
the possibility of McCarthy's being a sexual pervert.it
She toldat that time that people even make these remarks
about J. Edgar Hoover, mainly because Mr. Hoover is a bachelor and lives
alone. She emphatically lenied stating to _ that it was known that the wDirector and Senator McCarthy '..'c1'e sexual perverts." She stated that i-
obviously drew this remaik out of context. S
denied makin this renr-1 to an ' other person. g 1. § .
She stated she had not received this gossip from any one individual, but had
made it-up herself after reading the article concerning Senator McCarthy.
She added that she dislikes Senator McCarthy intensely and sc did all her "crowd. "
DeLoat-.h and Hannillg told that her unjustified and ,
completely unfounded remarks were deeply resented and that regardless of her ,3 M

people believe that she is a Georgetown socialite, although frankly, her untidy
appearance would certainly never win her any honors. Her apologies were not
made in a serious vein and it is felt that she was completely insincere. On 2
occasions throughout the intervieiv, she expressed cc-nsiderable concern over

originator of the rumor. There obviously is a very close connection between

Now that we have run this rumor completely to the ground itis felt advisable to tell and possibly b
who originally furnished the information to us that the matter has been run .down, has no foundation, and the originators have admitted the fact that the ¬

up this matter.

Several years ago in my home I remarked t _
that remarks had been made regarding the possibility of Senator Joseph '
R. McCarthy being a sexual pervert. I also stated that people make these
remarks even about J. Edgar Hoover because hs is a batchelor and lives
alone. I did not make this remark to anyone else other than _
I do not have an inior ' n whatsoever bearing upon Mr. Hoover's _character and ater remarks were taken entirely out of "

Place Northwest.
After admitting the above facts, - began to weaken somewhat
in his attitude. He attempted to explain that he was not the type of individual
who repeated such statements and that he regretted this matter very much.
He was told that certainly it didn't reflect much character to be spreading
slime and gossip of a definite untrue nature, that he should know once and
for all that his information and statements were clelihe rate lies and furthermore
he should he man enough to recall the identity of every individual he had
mentioned the statement to and then go see those individuals for the purpose
of admitting his previous statements were lies. :tated he would be
glad to do this, but he douoted seriously if he could recall to c-shom he had
made these statements to.
-rather reluctantly gave a signed statement admitting
the above facts. After executing this statement, the question was asked if he
desired to add anything to this statement. He then wrote a personal note to
the Director further admitting his guilt and expre;~;sing regrets. Both
stzitements are attached for purposes of information.

was a sexual pervert. He was advised that we, of course, were principally

__m_1'T§i_._ . . IMr. McGuire today at noon saw at h./ie// I I
office. Mr. Wick in m office accompanied Mr. Mc uire on the interview.Mr. McGuire advisedhhat the effectiveness of the Bureau's work
depended on public confidence and that when statements of a derogatory nature
are made against officials or employees of the Bureau affecting public con-
dence, we had every right we felt to inquire into the truth of the statements
and charges made against our personne1.- n0dde_d in understanding but
made no comment. .
He was told that word had come back to the Bureau that the story
had been spread that the Director was a homosexual and that his name had been
linked with having, spread such a story and that we desired to know whether he
had at any time made any such statement concerning the Director and if so
what his basis was for such a statement.
.lnn'1ediate1y denied that he had ever made any such statement
regarding the Director, advising that he would not make a statement of that nature.
He stated that he could refer us to many former Agents of the Bureau and other
per sons who could verify his veracity and he again repeated that he categorically
denied having ever made such a statement. Mr. McGuire observed that the state-
ment regarding the Director which we understood had been made by him was
vicious, definitely false. and, in fact, was criminally libelous, that it was the
most vicious type statement which could be made against any man. Egreed
that it was vicious statement. He stated he had handled too many cases himself
not to know that it was criminally libelous and that he would not make such a
statement of this nature about the Director or anyone else because of its nature.
" was then asked if he had ever discussed this matter with
anyone else. M leaned back in his chair and believed that he had talked about
it with lirifziiéeenspun of Las Vegas several years ago right after McCarthy had

been in Las Vegas and had called Greenspun an ex-Communist. _
stated he believed~&cC.arthy had a slip of the tongue and had meant to
call Bireenspunan ex-convict but he had been calling so many people ex-Communists
by habit that he slipped when he called Greenspun an ex-Communist. As a result
of this situation Greenspan wanted to take out after McCarthy. stated he
t suggested to Greenspun that he use the Anderson and May book on McCarthy
92as a basis for writing stories on McCarthy showing guilt by association utilizing
the same technique used by Anderson and May in their book. He said he believed
.'
FIduring these conversations Green spun suggested that the same technique could
ube used against anyone including the Director of the FBI.
- recalled the articles written by Greenspun and particularly
the one in which Greenspun stated that McCarthy was a homosexual. stated
that there was nothing in the book or in the les of the law rm which show that
McCarthy was a homosexual; that there were no affidavits or material in the
lfiles which supported Greenspun's statement. _stated he believed hep discussed the Director in this connection also with a reporter from the Denver
Post about the same time after he learned there had been some publicity about
92 McCarthy and the Director staying at the same hotel in California. However,
in both these discussions the main issue was McCarthy and he had no recollection
whatsoever of ever in these discussions making a statement that the Director was
a homosexual. -again stated he had never made any statement to anyone
regarding the Director of a derogatory nature like that alleged.
=x'as then toid that we had direct word that he did in fact
make such a statement to a reporter from a Long Island newspaper who had
immediately on his return reported it to his editor. _again denied ever making
such a statement. It was observed by Mr. McGuire that this was odd as the
reporter was f N d , o ewe ay- stated he did not know anyone named_ -then jumped up in hischair stating as a G--D---- liar. Mr. McGuire observed t
told us he had called at ffice and had even gone to lunch with in early
June of 1953. then stated that it did occur to him that a reporter and
another representative of a Long Island paper did talk to him about McCarthy.
Mr. McGuire said there was no question about it as Hank Greenspun had referred
hen stated he recalled that they came down to
talk to him about Senator McCarthy. He then got out his date book from the -
files and on checking it found an entry for May 28, 1953, showing that he
had talked with -and _ of Garden City regarding McCarthy -
time spent one hour. -was the photographer who accompanied
=1: 92*v'ashington and he was not engaged in any/of the discussions. } _-Q
then recalled the matter of their visit stating that they had been referred to him.

92 according to ¥ by Greenspan as they were interested in doing a story
on McCarthy. They were also interested in the full background they could
get on McCarthy and to1d them he had nothing in his les showing
that McCarthy was a homosexual and he denied having had any discussions
with concerning the Director whatsoever.
was advised that this was perfect example of how
vicious, evil, false stories injuring the reputation of a man can get mouthed
around and he was emphatically told of the complete and absolute falsity of such
an allegation and its viciousness. -then made the observation that he
would not make such a statement as he agreed with the observation concerning
its viciousness even, though__he did not like the__l_ILlire_qtor_perso_na1ly. He wa
asked what the basis for this was and heT§tated he thoudghtitlie Director was aH publicity hound. This was immediately challenged and the falsity of that
observation pointed out to _who stated that he had only made that
observation as his personal opinion and that he certainly was entitled to his own
-personal opirion even though he does not like the Director personally, he would
not make any derogatory statement against lvir. Hoover personally.
During the interview-appeared to be nervous. his hands
shook visibly when checking his files and date book. While he made overtures
of being cooperative by checking his les and date book, his denials were
very quick and his statement early in the interview about not knowing
