IUDJECT: SHORT F'Olll: BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Attached is a revised short fo1fll biographical sketch of
lthe Jirector to "Include the honorary degree he recentlu obtained
from Pace College and to also include the Certificate of Jlertt
awarded to llr. Hoover by the Attorney General on May 10, 1954,
in recognition of his servtce as Director of the FBI for 80 years.
As the Director does not 111ant the biographical sketch to run aore
than one page, no other-additions are bstng iiade at ~hta ttma but it is .felt that these two addittons should be aade tn order to
brin7 the biographical sketch up to date.
RECOJiMENDATION: If the altetch ts approved, it ta reoo•aended tt
'be returned to Suttler to be replt11111ted ao a fetD copies can be
\retained in the Crirne Records Section.

The writer and SA JOHN J. DANAHY interviewed .....
11111111111111~ in a private conference room at New York Medical
College, l E. 106th st., !'NC, this morning.
He was confronted with the fact that he had made vile and
obscene statements regarding the Director and Bureau Agents, had
made an unwarranted attack on SA COLLINS, and had stated that
"President EISENHOWER'S government should be overthrown".
He immediately stated that he was most apologetic, waa
very sorry that it ever happened, was intoxicated at the time and
barel;i· remembered the incident, although he had heard of it the next
morning after he had sobered up. He stated that as a matter of tact,
he has had the highest regard for the Director for his wonderful ser,ice to the country, and that his actions were extremely stupid.
With regard to his attack on SA COLLINS, he stated that he
did not believe that COLLINS was an Agent and thought that somebody
was ''pulling his leg" and in his drunken condition, he did take a
swing at COLLINS whichwazed him. He further stated that had he
belifved COLLINS was an Agent, he would never have taken such an
action .
. · • 1 With regard to President EISENHOWER, he stated he had
' lr
. ..

voted for him and will vote for hi• again.
With regard to the word "tascist" which he used, he stated
that be had no particular recollection regard'1ng that word, and it
in fact he did use it, it had no particular significance and that it
was just part of his efforts to arouse Agent COLLINS,
He was questioned closely as to any possible basis which
mibnt have-Oeen a hidden reason for his remarks, and he stated that
they were absolutely without foundation and without 111.gnifioanoe of·
anJ kind. He was just stupidly drunk and said he certainly wished it had never happened. He. stated that he would be very happy to
apologize, if given the opportunity •
f Jt was pointed out to .....,that his remarks and actions
were certainly not those of a man who intended to become a doctor
and tnat b~ ~~ld be ashamed of having so conducted himself. It
was poitt~ lilllt•;..Jlt him that even drunk, he should have recognized
the fact that Mr. Hoover has devoted hie life to the service ot his

the s·..ire r~re perfection of the agencys of the FBI.
Hoover hi"lself is founded on the gr9nite•rocks of e firm belief in
God 1rnri of tliP r:onstiti~tion of the flnited States. He is Americanism
in "very breath, e1so R perfectionist. He had a h!3rd young life. It

" L. B. N1chols DATE:May
T•k. loo ttou .....
·-r...~ On May 10th in the morning, Maureen Gothlin of the United
Preso advised Mr. McGuire that her office had received a rumor that
the Director was to call a preas conference at 2:00 p.m. that date to
announce his retirement and to announce hia succeasor aa Mr. L. V.
Boardman. Mr. McGuire informed Miss Gothlin there was no foundation
to th1s rumor and as a matter or fact the Director was not even 1n the
\city but was out working. Shortly thereafter George Oayl1n of Acme
Newspictures called to request a photograph of Mr. Boardman aa they
did not have one in their files. That evening Bill Hutchinson told
me that he had received a tip that the Director was going to announce his retirement. I told Bill that this was asinine and that aome rumor
monger was at work.
Around 10:40 on Monday night, May 10th, Jack Adams of the
Associated Press called me and stated that the Associated Presa had
received a query from the Star as to whether they had any 1ntormat1on that the Director was to retire. Checking back, the Aaaoci&ted Preas
I learned that a "hysterical woman" called the Star shortly before 10:30
p.m. and stated she had heard such a report on the radio. The Associated
Press check~d radios as they monitor newscasts and could find no trace
of any such report. Adams apologized for even calling. He thought that
we should know that there was a rumor out. I told Adams that this was
asinine, that the Director was out of the city on official buaineaa and
was celebrating his 30th anniversary by working. I further told Adame that I would Judge that someone was trying to atir up trouble, that we lhad heard this rumor elsewhere. Adams stated that cer.ta1nly it appeared to him that there was some malice back of thi11. · · ---/. , I. :,· ,
In each of the above-mentioned instances, there waa real
concern expressed over the rumor. Bill Hutchinson. partiCIJl~TlY, said that he, of course, knew that it could not be true, that Sit 'wduld be
tragic indeed if the Director were to retire at this time as, in Bill'•
opinion, the peak of the Director's career still lies ahead. '.l'o thia,
I thoroughly agreed with him. Jack Adams was particularly diaturb~d
by the fac t..that somebody should be peddling such a ato;-y. '
-~ / \" It is rather difficult to underst~(l~·~•e'ntality of any· '-....
person who could be so nitwitted and evil-m1n~ As'~· spread auoh a , · / baseless and malicious rumor. Bill Hutchins stated t he ib~ought' ' if we had any furttr inqu1r1es that the a~thing'wo btY"J"U•t a1t · tight and. im:.t·i?\
1~~~ days when the so-called press conference did n
come off ttl'>d the s -~lled announcement did not occur, whoever was
responsible for this rumor would find the matter backfired on him. I tol
him that this was a good idea but that this rumor waa ao untounded and ao
untrue that 1f any responsible person asked, 1t was felt that they are

Hoover roes on end on, regardless 01' whether the Repub
licans or De'!locrats are in pwer-. The reason: 1heer skill end
ef ,'icit'ncy !
The ~RI is an outstendinr success because Hoover has
Sf't SUCr~ hlth standards ~·or his men, 'l'hey must be intelligent,
>•e11-,,Jucated team players. ,-iithout such cooperation, the Bureau
ro·ild n•ver eet the results it does. For every spectacular epi
sode, t11ere are endless hours of checkint smell details and run
ni nf a~wn fruitless leads.
Jnother thin[ t~at Hoover has d ne extremely well, ls
b ildinc up the Bureau's relations with the public. FBI .J<renta
invari"bly are polite. ~ven when the secrecy of their investi

a "1ureau o:f Investi,,-etion. F'.xtreme Left-wine efforts to whip up

Dear Jlr. Hoover, ( -
November 22, 1952
330 Colw11bia St.
Cohoes, New Tork
Congratulation's on your being retained as director
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Tour retention
to head that ertremly iaportant agency will insure its
continuing to be a fair, honest, and efficient bulwark oj
Democracy in our death struggle with COIJUllUniBlll.
rour disappointment in being blocked in carrying out
your plans by the officials over you, aust have been
frustrating in the frlth degree. It is evident that the
authorities over the past years have haastrung your efforts to
the country and the government of the diabolical threat o/
communism.
The inauguration of President-Elect Eisenhower on Jan. 20,
will herald the advent of a •oral governaent to head this great
country of ours. Thank God you will be a part of it.
Sincerely
/a/Samuel B. Cramer
