GENERAL APPLZICANT MATTER ' _
Insaw Mr. Lewis Ijésltinyéxecutive Secretary of the American
Friends Service Committee, and C. Reed:!Cary, a member of the Board of
Directors and Chairman of the-Personnel Committee of the American Friends Servic
Committee. He is also Vice President in charge of Industrial Relations, Leeds and-
Northrop, 490l_Stanton Avenue, Philadelphia 44, Pennsylvania.
Pi i".Mr. I-Ioskins opened the conversation by pointingout that they are
being contacted by five or six Government agencies each week; that they keep an
accurate record of the contacts; that he thinks the contacts involve about eight _ -
or so individuals. The contacts for the most part deal with conscientious ,- '7:-""
objector cases , loyalty cases and applicant investigation cases. He pointed out that
for son"etime they have followed the policy of checking their personnel records and
personally interviewing everyone in the American Friends Service Committee knowir
the__Subject of the investigation and then preparing a written statement setting forth
their estimate of the individual. Hoskins stated that they have become more and
"more concerned because of their religious scruples-about what they are doing; namel
passinig judgment on integrity, loyalty and such traits of character which are difficult
indeed. They are becoming more and more fearful of the propriety of their position
in arriving at a conclusion on opinions, ideas and thoughts of their people; that
"they we r: ;_giving consideration to.chang.i.n.g_their.policy_and.-were,_-i-rrxh-e-£ormati1.=e

what their motives were and their reasons with the hope that we -would fully uncle:-stat
their position. ,_ _ _ _92_~ . T-. - . ""31 =-' _ - 2 .1 Q -:
l l ' Ipointedout that in the rst instance the Bureau was not concerned
Wit'£.; thoughts, ideas and opinions; that in our investigations we did not seek judgment
as such because "who are we as mortals to sit in judgment on anyon-2;" that we
__ were interested prirnarily in facts; that perhaps in communicating questions when the_ -tn . J ______

question of loyalty, integrity or honesty came up they would be more correct
to inquire as to what facts do they possess reecting upon loyalty and integrity;
that it was assumed that when-.we asked .such que stions-that the answer would be e -
predicated upon facts and if opinions were expressed or condusions it was the duty o
Agents as well as their instructions to inquire for the facts upon which conclusions
and opinions are directed. ' _
' _'lhe conversation then got off on the subject of conscientious
objectors and I was somewhat surprised at the attitude of both Mr." Hoskins
and Mr. Cary, who pointed out that the true conscientious objector is hard at '
times to determine; that they had scalawags invtheir own organization who were
not honest in arriving at a basis of conscientious objection. I did not participate
in this discussion other than to point out that we were very conscious of the delicate
ness of such investigations which were irnposed upon us by an Act of Congress, the
criteria of which are set by the Department and the Courts. I then pointed out that
each inquiry was directed toward a specic objective; that if the objective merely
was to verify employment, sccure biographical data we would not want to go any
further than the personnel office, but if as in a recent case, the applicant had been
employed by the Committee and.the supervisor under whom the employee worked
had a long and intimate knowledge of the employee's background, the employee .
had been out of the country on special missions, that in such instances we felt that
we could not fully discharge our responsibilities unless we personally interviewed
the supervisor; that we had no desire to interview a half dozen or so people in
their origanization or for that matter to interview any one other than the head of
Pei-sdnnel unless there was some real reason. Theynboth conceded that this was
Valid. They both felt that if the written statement which they would furnish us
did not suffice that we should feel very free to come back to them and secure
- "_a<1_a1r>;<;,~,a-_11n1orma:ioni._ __. . -. --_- -we-_-; _;
" " u I reiterated again that what they did was, of course, a matter of
their own concern and that if they preferred not to be interviewed, we would issue
instructions to our Philadelphia Office that they not he contacted. Both reacted
rather vigorously to this and pointed out that the-Q[_lvYant_e_c_1_ tg,;A,;;g!_-;:_:c|__;f_____7s_<=_;_£yi_t:e and
wanted to help and felt obligated to help, but they were troubled in passing judgrneni
on a person's loyalty or integrity. I told them that as far as we were concerned
we were not asking for judgments, we we_r§_asl_<igg__fo1:f_acts and we were not
concerned with ideas and thoughts and opinions. _

Memorandum for from L. Bi Nichols
They were also concerned over expressing "a judgment"
~on aaniiudividuavs integrity and loyalty today on the basisoi limitedinformation
-whenthey could he deceived. I pointed out that common sense and judgment '
must be applied and that anyone reading a report would, of course, expect
the person furnishing information to furnish only that within their personal
knowledge and if there were concealed facts which the person interviewed
did not know, then no responsibility would certainly be attributed for those -
unknown facts. _ -
I got the very denite impression that Hoskins was taken back
interview people directly. In fact, I told them categorically that We could not peri
Others to conduct interviews and to secure information for us; that so far as the
Friends Committee was concerned we were certain that they'wou1d be motivated
bythe highest principles, but that the principle of vigilante action applied and that
if we were to endorse such a programias they were suggesting then we could not
protest a super vigilante committee who presumed to conduct interviews bearing
on loyalty. They both agreed that there was merit to this. ' somewhat because he admitted that he could fully understand our desire to
u i In discussing the matter of the Friends Comrnittee preparing a
-written statement, Mr. Cary stated that when a grocer prepares his bill if there
are any mistakes the bill 15 in favor of the grocer; that if a person prepares a '
report it would be in favor oi the individual preparing the report. He then
"pointed out that he thought it would be much fairer both to the Committee, the
person being investigated and to the Bureau to have a written statement so that tho"
could be no misinterpretation of what was intended. At this point I-Ioskins interjec
-e-ad: stated that the-way they wou1dp1ep'a're'the' writtenstat'eméTits 'w'6i11Ei belto put"
them in two parts. The rst part would be a factual stateinent as to the individual
employment. A copy of this would then be furnished to the person being investiga
The second part of the statement would be the condential judgment of the Americ;
Friends Comniittee wherein they would comment on the indiv.idual's integrity,
loyalty and so forth. This evaluation and judgment on the part of the Committee
would be considered confidential and a copy_would not be furnishcdto the person ii:
investigation, but would be furnished only to the Bureau.

Mennorandum from L. B. Nichols
, n|
I told both Mr. Cary and Hoskins that we very inuch preferred _
to conduct our own interviews and report results of the interview. Mr. Cary
again p0inte i'0921t thathe had fullccondence in Bureau Agentsand certainly he had
no question whatsoever as to their integrity, but that in a-big organization there
can be degrees of competence and the report aswrit-ten back in the office might
vary from the report as intended. - - - - - ~ -
< " - I immediately asked Cary if he could site alsingle instance wherein
Bureau Agents had misquoted anyone. He stated that he could not; that this was
not even the problem and they hoped that they would not be misunderstood. I told
them that one could draw but one conclusion, plainly thatthey were lacking in
confidence in our ability to correctly report facts given to us and that in all
fairness they should give us a bill of particulars. Both got a little flustered
on this point and protested that they had no such-intention; that they just wanted
to safeguard against any such incident occurring, - - -
- _ At this point Mr. Cary, who impressed me as beingsomewhat
aged, all of a sudden blurted out that he had one experience that worried him and
troubled hirn; He then-iointed out that one of our Agents went to his company, which
he then identied as/Leeds and Northrop lvlanufacturing Company. They rnake _ =
electrical measuring device-s and have classified contracts. ! This contact was = "
about 18 months to two years ago. They wanted to review the personnel records
for the pnpose oi picking out individuals who would be suitable to acting as "stool
pigeons. " I challenged Cary at this point an <1 told him that he had to be in e rorbecause "stool pigeons" were words that were not in our -vocabulary; that if/Eiiieant _
patriots to whom we could go in cases of emergency for information, then that was
entirely different. He then pointed out that the Agent who made the contact stated
that ifthey did not supply the names thenthe G-:>vern-rnentwvould» take-the name cafe...---a
the rm of Leeds and Northrop off the list of Governrnent suppliers and he stated
this was exactly what happened and they had to come to Washington and see Congress-
man Hugh Scott who, after approxirnately a month, was able to get their name back
on the list. . '
I told Mr. Cary that I was astounded at his statement; that I could
not conceive of a Bureau Agent threatening to have their name taken off the list
of suppliers because we had no authority or power to do this; that I could conceive
of a Bureau Agent making a contact for the purpose of deterrning the identities of a
ljinitcd number of people who miglit be contacted in an emergency. I asked Cary

I told Mr. Cary that we would want to check into this incident which he had
related and that it certainly did not represent the practice or policy; that
we would get the facts and be in touch with him later.
' The two men then apologized for taking up time, but they
stated they wanted to make a personal contact; that they could see where I
did not agree with them and they understood; that I had good reason to not agree
with them. ' '

deiphiavises that David Iv}. Swift oi this: chrrirnittee appeared at Philadelphia
oiigcc Apri1 29, 1953, and suggested that upon Agents making future contacts
with his_corru.r1ittee, he preferred to review files and answer questions himself
in ordexfto expedite information for Agents, h He requested and was furnished
a 1ist o£ basic questions usually asked the committee regarding conscientious
'obje ctorsp. The Philadelphia office has been making appointments with Swift 3 '7
one day in advance and has been furnishing him the name of the person under
' -ypersonas indicated as having personaihrioiviedge of the individual under investigatio;
' On April 27, 1955, Swift;-1.'. advised a Philadelphia Agent that in the future the »' I A c'o 'rm'u'ttee-would furnish comments and prepared statements and that it was the 5 i
' current policy of the committee to have staff members give a prepared statement * .
-- rather than have personal interviews with our Agents. Philadelphia advises 1

" i given the impression they are not in syinpathy with conscientious objectors.

Memorandum to from L. B. Nichols s
SAC McCabe should call on them and point out that the Agent who made the
contacts with the Leeds and Northrup Company in 1950 and 1951 has beenidentified and that he emphatically den-ies having ever made any statement 92
threatening t_o_t_al<_e__the Leeds_and_N0r.th_rup_C,ompany10£f..the..e1igible list of- - --/~
companies to receive classified contracts. QQ; should also be told that
quite naturally we furnished the facts of the refusal of his company to cooperate
with the FBI in the plant informant program to ON1 and GZ with no recommends
or evaluations whatsoever, and that any action taléen thereafter was strictly the
action of the Department of Defense. Sc_o£ie1d should be contacted rst inasrnuc
as Carey, in talking to me, indicated that our Agent had made the original
contact with Scoiield re establishment of plant inforrnants. It is therefore
only reasonable to assume that Scofield has told Carey about the alleged threat
made by our Agent. In addition to above, SAC McCabe should also tell Scofield
that the matter of plant informants was fully discussed when Scoiield and Reddin
the President, called by our Philadelphia Office on 4-6-51, and that the Leeds
and Northrup officials certainly mentioned no "threat" at the time. He should '
be asked for specifics. _ lH with Messrs. Carey and Scofield of the Leedsand Northrup Company.
l Withmespect to future cooperation with the American Friends
Service Committee, it is apparent that they evidently want things their own
way with respect to furnishing information. I am of the opinion that we should
continue to make requests to this committee for information and that in the
fut_ure, -we consider each case upon its own merit; i. e. , in the event it is
necessary for us to contact a staff member personally, we will so advise the
committee. I think it necessary that we continue to get as much information
as possible from this committee in Conscientious objector cases so_that our
investigations will be as complete as possible. R . i _

"QUABLH usuur BALLS viutsnus nuns mvlt THAH COHMUNISH." This article stated
that the AFSC had on that date released a book prepared by the AFSC called
"SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER." A sumary of this book stated that it is an unsound
premise that Cosmunism is the greatest evil of the day. The greatest evil,
according to the summary, is "commitment to violence" on the part of any nation
and "the military code it holds thatlmuais an instrument of the state."
The summary stated "Coxmnnism applies this code to all of life but the West
is not free of it." According to this article, the book, "SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER,
advocates peaceful or pacificist approaches to world tensions." ' -

of orthodox church in Kiev and a branch of the old Believers
without priests. to noticed two Jewish synagozucs - very
orthodox. The Jews in Russia have no communication with the
Jews in U.S..or in Israel or anywhere else. they insisted

lnywhera else. We felt this was over emohssized, but when
asked, they insisted that was the nesssce they wanted no to

us. It is important to have a wife if you are a priest and
advantageous to hove a large beard. me felt a deep sense

Our government has announceu an H-bomb test in the Marshall Islands for me end of April. According to the press,
the United States has exploded 65 nuclear bombs, Russia at least 30, Britain 3. As U.S. citizens we cannot escape
responsibility for the effects of our own tests. y ,
wnrar ARE THE PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL RESULTS or NUCLEAR tests?
Dr. Williard F. libby of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission has said that a weapon 500 times stronger than the
Hiroshima b0t192b_tT.igl't'l have radioactive tall-out of 100,000 square miles. Nine leading world scientists Nobel
- rize winners! said in I955, "it is stated on very good authority that a_ bomb can now be manufactured which will_2,5 iO.times __a5-P°Weriul.as.1h_l which destroyed Hiroshit11a.'7-- -----.----' "-"- "' * ' "'* "
Man does not know the ellects on human health of testing such bombs. We do know that everyone on earth
IS dd. W6 do know that diflusion of radioactive products, as the Pope said in his Christmas plea for
renunciation of tests and bombs, "depends upon elements not under man's control. We do know there arepermanent genetic effects. , ' ' . ' _ . , .
Dr. H. J. Muller, Professor of Genetics at Indiana University and Nobel prize winner, said May l3, i955, "the
number of mutations produced by the bomb tests to date do-es not involve a significant delcrioroliort in the
genetic constitution of the population but _cioes produce a lot of significant disabilities . . . they are far from .negligible, they are in the tens of thousands." l
Dr. A. H. Qurtevant of California Institute of Technology says, "the bombs already exploded will ultimately result l
in the production of numerous defective individuals if the human race itself survives many generations." The
world takes this so seriously that the UN has appointed a Commission on Radiation Effects which has not yet _
reported. ' _ '
t
C - WHAT Will. BE THE POLITICAL iZESUL'l'S OF ANOTHER U.S. I-l-BO!-N5 TEST? -
The Japanese government has asked our government not to hold the test. Our government has informed them
that the test must proceed. Will Asian peoples see in this test a callous disregard for their safety? Will Russia
_be deterred or be challenged to further and greater tests? Surely it will increase the fear which now corrocies l
all attempts to achieve the nuclear control and disarrnarnent on which man's future depends. Out of tear may
come the "incident" that starts the war all dread. . . -
was-.1 ARE ITS MORAL iM!='LICATlOi=JS rot: us? - ' » ' . ~
Dc.-as not this lest rneen we are willing to take chances with the health and lives of other peoples and of unborn -
generations? Does it not mean that in the last analysis we are willing to use means capable of destroying man}
This is to def the Creator of life. - . _~ - - - -Y 1

For the United States to give up this test might be a real step toward an international ban on tests, the first break
in the vicious circle of the nuclear armament race. e . ~ -
