Former President Truman is n prac-
llcal and seasoned politician. Even hc.
however. found it difficult to stomach
the ruthiess political steamroller,
greased by the Kennedy millions,which rolled over the Democratic con-
v.entlon at Los Angeles. -
Never before has an American fam-
liy set out deliberately to buy the
White House. The Kennedy millions-1",. 9:
92 '_ _ _ mostly madejroingvlilslc along with Kg _ h the oranized ,razZlF-dgzzle of the

i
l
. A..--__-iwhale Kennedy clan. put together the
most effece and unprincipled politi-
cal bandwagon since the clays when
Honey Fitzgerald, Jack Kennedy's
grandfather. ruled the political roost
in Boston, Mass.
SPEAKING at the University of .
Virginiacuring the primary campaign.
Mr. Tit;-inan. a former Democratic
President referring to. a would-he
Democratic President. spoke for the
whole nation when; as it was reported.
he declared, "l have no ohjcction to
Senator Kennedy's Pope. but I do oh-
jecl. to Senator Kennedy's pop. Pop Joe
iienncdyi. who is trying to buy the
White House for his iittle boy."
It was Senator Keiinerly himself
who injected the religious issue into
this campatgti. Sensible Americans had
hoped it would not become a factor,
but Kt'nnCd_92' has deliberately exploited
his religion. ln speeches in Wisconsin.
in West Virginia. at the convention of
the American Society of Newspaper
Editors in Washington last April, in his
acceptance speech at Los Aiigeles and
in numerous interviews since the con-
vcntion, he has appealed to voters not
to persecute him because he is a p
Catholic.Nobody has persecuted Jaclr Ken-
nedy. and it is unlikely that anybody
will.
WHY WON'T Jack Kennedy be
frank cnougli to admit publicly that it
was his Catholic friends who gave him
the nomination? ,.'lhc five.big states -
were for Kennedy. Mdypr Wagner,who led the New York delegation. is a
Catholic. Governor Lawrence of Penn-
sylvania, who turncd Pennsylvania
over to Kennedy. is a Catholic. Gov-
ernor Mike DiSalle of Ohio. who gave
the entire Ohio delegation to Kennedy,
is a Catholic. Mayor Daley of Chicago.
who controlled the Illinois delegation.
is a Catholic. Governor Pat Brown of
California, another Kennedy state, is E
Catholic. The delegations from these
five states, led by Catholics, put over
Kennedy's noiniriation. .
Why should Jack Kennedy be un-I
grateful and hypocritical? These influ-
entia! politicians had a perfect right to
be for Kennedy if they so chose. The
very fact that these men have been
_e_l£cted to high office shows that theAmfiriqin PQQPIC do not iet religion in-
fluence their political voting. Tl1l#i>i19pie in these five states heiicved that
those candidates were good men and
they voted inr iiit-in regardless of re-
ligious beliefs. 92»Vlie:~. they 92.vcre run-
ning for oflice those rien dhl not co
around whimpering that they were he-
ing persecuted.
THE TRUTH is. Jack Kcnrictly hasri92i.__. Iii, 1960
deliberately set out to make a martyr
Of himself 011 the Catholic issue in
order to get sympathy and to glamorizo
himself as a candidate.
Jack Kennedy has been shouting
and crying persecution. but if anybody
else says anything about his religion,
then that ls "bigotry." .
Well. we think it is bigotry to inject
religion Into this campaign. 'lt hasnothing whatever to do with the real
issues on which the American people
are going to vote. Anybody who uses
religion either as a shield or e sword
is guilty of bigotry, and the greatestoffender in this nation at the present
is Jack Kennedy himself. He never
misses a chance to keep the religious
issue alive. It can't be kept out if Jack
Kennedy himself is going to bring It
up every time he makes a speech. Such
hypocrisy seldom has been practiced
in American politics.
We are not opposed tn Jack Ken-
nedy because he is a Catholic. We do
not believe many Americans will be
opposed to him on that basis. Certainly
nobody has
paper of being anti-Catholic.
WE ARE OPPOSED to him because
he is completely lacking in adrrtini5tra-
tive experience to assume the respon-
sibililics of the presidency in the han-
tiling of.,foi'.eien,policy and domesticissues. '
We are opposed lo him hccnusc he
rievci has given at"-3-' ititllcntioii nf
deep-rluwii convictions about Amer-
ican freedom or the rights of individual
Citizens.
We are opposed to him because as
a senator" from Massachusetts he has
represented minority pressure groups_
ever accused this news-

Dave Sentner of the Hearst Newspapers called at 10:30 AM,
January 20, 1961. He advised that his Boston Office had received a tip
two mental patients had escaped from an hospital in Massachusetts.
These men-were reportedly carrying guns. They had reportedly announced
inténtidhts of doing away with Frank Sinatra.
I called SAC Johnson of the Washington Field Office at 10:35 AM,
January 20, 1961, and instructed him to notify both the local police and the
Secret Service on a confidential basis regarding the above information.
Sentner had no further facts to volunteer.

It seems to nre that people in show business that are dependant on the

NOTE" No record in Bufiles on correspondent, her husband, "R0minoff and
Juliet" or "Marines Letfs Go". N o Bureau investigation has been conducted
by the Bureau concerning Frank Sinatra. Bufiles do, however, reflect
that he has been affiliated with numerous communist front groups and has
had his nametused in connection with various functions sponsored by such
groups. In 1944, limited inquiries were made by the Bureau concerning
his Seleqiive Service status following an anonymous allegation that he had
paid-mone3?_"to secure a 4F classification. Allegations baseless. Sinatra's
name has, of course, beenclosely associated with Peter Lawford, brother-
law of President Kennedy through friendship, and Sinatra's name was linked
several years ago with numerous underground hoodlums. 2-83219!

Having recentlylleard through what appears to be
a reliable source, that "Fra,n_§g§ig3._t5a is a Communist and that I
would be surprised at many more there are in Hol1ywood" has
caused me quite a bit of concern. Especially since I read in today's
Miami Herald that "Frank Sinatra is Guest on President Kennedy
Boat. " Also that he is visiting the Lawfords at the home of the
Presidents father, Joseph P. Kennedy. Is there any truth in this
rumor? If so why does our President and his family associate with
him?
U/laThere is another question I'd like to- ask. Why are
such pictures as "Rominoff and Juliet!, allowed to be shown to our
public when they so" plainly belittle our_'United Nations by insinuating
it's employees can be bribed. Also "Marine's Let's Go" which
shows the worse side of our Navy.
It is true these pictures are supposed to be comedy,
however I feel there are some things that should be sacred and I
believe anything pretaining to our Government should come under that

Our continuing investigation into the death of gichard

additional information. It will be recalled that Deputy Sheriff§Anderson wasakilf ' e had
WK 3ii~=¢1a'
We have determined that on the night of his death, Anderson,
while driving at an excessive rate of speed and after having been
drinking, failed to negotiate a curve at high speed, ran off the road
and was killed. His wife, who accompanied him, has made available alstatement to the local authorities which indicated that Anderson was ,at fault in this accident. pf
Not withstanding the above, our Las Vegas Division has not
overlooked the possibility there was foul play in connection with
the Deputy sheriff. A specific inquiry was initiated to determine
whether any hoodlums had been brought in from out of state to cause
the death of Deputy Sheriff Anderson following his argument with
Sinatra. To date no pertinent information reflecting upon the
possibility of imported hoodlums being brought in to Nevada for this
purpose has been developed.

Memorandum to Mr. Belmont
Re: Frank Sinatra
According to our inquiries, the testimony of one eye witness
nd the investigation by local authorities, the death of Deputy 3 _
Sheriff Anderson was the result of driving at an excessive rate of
speed following a drinking bout.
ACTION p
While inquiries to date have not established the existence
of any foul play in the death of Deputy Sheriff Anderson, we are _
nevertheless pressing our investigation of Sinatra and his ownership

Instead of defending the complaint and exposing
to the public the extent of his association with Sam
Giancana and other gangsters, or the lack of such
association, Sinatra tossed in the towel.
I-le surrenclered his 50 per cent ownership in Cal-
Ncva and'his gambling interest in the Sands, ex-
ceedingly protable holdings conservatively estimated
to be wnrth $3,000,000. p
It's possible that publicity concerning Sinatra's
wealth as a gambling tycoon motivated the subsequent
kidnaping of his son. The children of poor people are
rarely ahclttctcd and held for ransom.
Follou ing Frank Sinatra's voluntary departure from
the Nevada gambling scene, PARADE was ooded by
letters from its readers asking how and why such hou-
est, decent. talented entertainers as that darling
Frank Sinatra ahd that cute Phyllis l92lcGuirehow
come they get connected with a gangster like Sam
Giilncana?"
Other letters asked the following questions:
Wl1.|t is the tic-up between the underworld and
Show business?
ls it true that the CO!-a Nustra owns or controls the
major night clubs in America?
Is it true that the syndicate c - ~- -gas
gambling casinos?
Does the fool: nlrl Hollywood?
,ls it true that the Cosa Nostra maintains the juke-
box industry in this country?
Will you tell us if the Cosa Nostra trains, deielops
and controls its own entertainers?
Can you explain Lana Turner and ]ohnny Stomp-
onato, 92Vt-ndy Barrie and Bugsy Siege-l, ]'une Lang and
John Rosselli? Why do stars take up with hoodlums?
Starting with the last question, the basis for person-
al relationships between stars and gangsters lies fre-
quently in the geography of birth. Many trip lights in
|"ll*1.92"§ Entertainment worlclperforrucrs like Sin-
8U'8, George Raft, Vic Darnone and otherswerc
raised in the cities of New York and New ']ersey side
by side with other youngsters, generally rst-genera-
tion Americans, who later became criminals, racke-
teers, notorious hoods.
inatra once told me: "Many of the kids I grew
up with in Hnboken are serving time today. A
few even went to the chair. I was lucky. l had
folks who took an interest in me. Boys who
grow up together are ercely loyal tonne another.
especially if they" are inembers of minority
groups. Later in life. regardless of the directions
ll1ey'92t' taken, they don't snub one another. Tn expect
Lu-rt-t ilatt to ignore Bugsy Sicgcl or I-ranlt Sinatra
in cut Hfillic :92lorctli cold is both unfair and unrea-For example, when Frank started singing with Tommy
Dorseys band, he quickly became its hottest attraction.l Quick to recognile that fact, Dorsey signed the singer
to a seven-yea;-contracf at relatively little money.
" At onQ,.p0int i'his marriage, Sinatra was on the
road with the Dorsey outt, making do with §o small
a personal allowance that his wife, Nancy, sent him a
pair of gloves for his birthday. When Frank tried them
on, he fountl a dollar hill folded into each nger.
He says he realized then that he would have to earn
more money. He went to Dorsey gntl asked to be let
out of his contract. I knew, he says, "I could make
much more on my own." Dorsey was adamant and
refused to release him.
i or lung after,"the band leader subsequently
told me, "l was visited by Willie l92-loretti
and a couple of his boys. Willie ngered a
gun and told me he was glad to hear that I
was letting Frank out of our deal. I took the
hint, and Frank went."
92'Vl1cn Willie l92loretti's daughter got married some
time afterward, Frank Sinatra sang at her wedding.
in the sunarrier of 1960. when I interviewed Lucky
Luciano, the Maa chief, in Naples, we discussed the
possible screen stars who might play the screen ver-
sion of his life. Luciano said he was partial to George
Raft and Frank Sinatra, both of whom he..clairned to
know.
"I always liked Frank," Luciano told me. "We were
in Cuba after the war. He's done real good, Frank has.
Always got a chip on his shoulder, but I don't mind
that. He could play me good."
Reportedly the LLS. Treasury Department has a
copy of a Pan American Airways manifest which lists
Sinatra as a passenger ying to Havana in February
l9-U, in the company of Rocco and Im Fischctti,
cousins of the late Al Capone. Rocco Fischetti is one
of the leaders of the Chicago branch of the Cosa Nostra,
taking orders from Sam Giancana.
It was at this time in Havana in 194? that
Lucky Luciano handed out "the contract" for the
murder of Bugsy Siegel, the criminal founder of mori-
ern, big-time Las Vegas gambling. '
Siege] nanced the rst major gambling casino, the
Flamingo, in Las Vegas in 19-I6 by loans from various
Maa gangs scattered throughout the country. In the
I9-t0s Las Vegas was declared an "open city" by the
underworld. As a result many of its gambling casinos
today are owned by excriminels, former nienibers of
the Chicago, Detroit, Galveston, Cleveland, New York,
New Orleans and Portland mobs. Several of its club

One of the most knowledgeable men
in this country on the connection be

is Ierome Adlcrman, general counsel For
the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on
Investigations. At one time or another
Adlcrrnan has cross-examined many of
the major mobsters in the nation.
W'l'|at you must understand about
hoods and gangsters and members of the
Cosa Nostra or whatever you want to call
that organization," Adlerman recently
told mi: in Washington, is that these
men are not intellectuals. They don:
road; they don't study; t.he§' don't have
hobbies as we know them.
"Their major extracurricular interests
are broads and booze. For them, the

hoods used to own ower shops.
Now they own night clubs and
restaurants. lt's a more interesting
and exciting life, more pleasur-
able. It's led them into the julte
box racket, the recording industry, many
allied elds. A few years ago when we
were investigating gangster activities in
the lab-or and management elds, we had
a Mr. Robert Ltndeloti of Chicago on the
stand. He was in the juke box operation,
and he told us that he'd been called by a
Mr. Joey Glimco of the Teamsters Union
and asked to play on all his machines a
tune recorded by a singer named Tommy
Leonetti. We got. hold of leonetti and he
admitted that he was being managed by
a_ man with underworld connections, but
he wasn't aware of the fact that the un-
derworld was pushingthis records.
"I mentioned that, Adlerman 4:011-
tinucd, "to point out that the mob is not
only involved in gambling. narco,
prostitution, the illegal sale of liquor in
after-hour joints, but they've now mm-"eel
into the julte box and recording elds
and many other avenues of show busi-
ness. For example, we lmow Sam Gian-
cana is the man behind the Lormar
Record $0., an underworld operation inChicago." '
According to Adlerman. gangsters be-
came interested in show business in the
post-Prohibition clays of the l93Os.
1Tl1ey had plenty of money from boot-
Iegging, he explained, and they wanted
to invest some of it in pleasurable ei1ter-
prises. So they moved into the night club.
eld. They bought in or declared t.herr|-
selves in. and thus began their acquaint-
anoeship with entertainers. They backed
Broadway shows for their girl friends.
They became silent partners in backing
young hopeful singers. The glamour and
the glitter of show business appealed to
them, and it still does.
When Nevada legalized gambling and
Bugsy Sit-gel opened up Las Vegas to his
fellow mobsters, the gangsters realized
that they needed B constant ow of show
biz talent to attract the public.

SAC Elson has a close personal relationship with Frank A "
Sinatra, his attorney and close business associates as a result of
Elson's handling these individuals during the kidnaping case in
which Sinatra's son was the victim. As evidence of the high regard-
in which Elson is held by Sinatra, it is noted Elson and his wife
have been invited by Sinatra to attend social affairs being given b tiSinatra at his home in Palm Springs. Sinatra even offered to ""'
send his private airplane to Las Vegas and transport the Elsons m cm
to California. SAC Elson said he graciously declined these _ ..u Q,

Frank Sinatra is currently reported to be in the Far East

the-Unite<f'States it is believed we should have SAC Elson contact

meeting with Sinatra and exploring the possibilities of his cooperating
with us.
Elson is convinced that his relationship with Sinatra at
this time is such that he could do this discreetly without any
possibility of embarrassment to the Bureau. If we are to do this
we should begin promptly on Sinatra's return to the United States
as E1son's relationship with Sinatra wi1l,,de_te_riorate if no contact
is made and much time elapses. A
If you approve SAC Elson will be advised telephonically
when he next calls the Bureau to proceed along these lines.

Frank Sinatra through the years has been associated with
some of the most infamous individuals of modern times. During the
1930s when he was growing up in New Jersey, he was reportedly_befriended
by Willie Moretti, former underworld boss of Bergen County, New Jersey,
and cousin of the notorious Joe Adonis. In later years Sinatra sang
at the wedding of Willie Moretti's daughter.
In the 40s Sinatra's name was linked with such well-known
hoodlums as Joseph and Rocco Fischetti, members of the Capone gang,CharlesLuckyLuciano, ang,James Tarantino, associate of Benjamin
Bugsey" Seigel and edito and publisher of the magazine Hollywood
Night Life." . _ - -
.&.. Newspapers on February 20, 1947, reported that FTank_
Sinatra had beenwip Havana, Cuba, for four days the previous week and
that fhis companion in public and private was Luciano, Luc1ano's
bodygeard'ind a rich collection of gamblers and high-binders." The
article indicated that Luciano and Sinatra were seen together at
the racetracks, the gambling casinos and at special parties.
A September 11, 1947, column of Westbrook Pegler reported
that when Frank Sinatra flew to Havana, Cuba, on February ll, 1947,
he was accompanied by Joe and Rocco Fischetti.
In recent years considerable information has been reported
concerning Sinatra ties with Sam Giancana. Reports of the use of
Sinatra's Palm Springs home by Giancana and Phyllis McGuire and
Giancana's disappointment in Sinatra's inability to get the administration
to tone down its efforts in the Anti-Racketeering field constitutes
the most significant information developed. On at least two occasions
in past years Sinatra has been in Atlantic City taking over an entire C
floor of one of the major hotels for anprivate party which lasted
several weeks and included hoodlum guests such as Giancana, the
Fischettis and Joe Bonanno of Phoenix.
Until he was recently ordered to sell his interests in
Las Vegas, Sinatra owned a percentage of the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas
and was 100% owner of the Cal-Neva Lodge at Lake Tahoe. Informants
have speculated that Sinatra was merely a front for hoodlum money
invested in these gambling casinos. Bnring the last year of operation,
the Cal-Neva Lodge was managed by Paul "Skinny" D'Amato, 1ongtime
friend of Sinatra who also has a hoodlum background and has for years
operated the 500 Club in Atlantic City., 1 ~ :53 ruroggou cormnwxn' ' " Hnnrxnx sszrz '?

For further information Bureau and New York, RUDIN
furnished literature received by him from the Anti-Defamation
League ADL!, Pacific Southwest Region, and other memos from
the ADL concerning SPIRO AGNEW. In the memos and publications,
the ADL states that"AGNEW has engaged in classical antisemitism
of the Nazi variety, and that because of his business affilia-
tions with the Arabs this has led him to become a propagandist
of the most evil kind." Further, the ADL in a digest dated
July and August 1976 contained an article captioned "SPIRO AGNEW
The New Darling of the Hate Press."
RUBIN stated it is well known that FRANK SINATRA is
a close personal friend of SPIRO AGNEW and that many letters
from individuals, known and unknown, have recently been received
by SINATRA which all express concern over his SINATRA's!
association and friendship with AGNEW. No letters to date,
except the one postmarked 7/29/76 in Flushing, New York, con-
tained a threat against SINATRA. '
In the group of letters received by SINATRA. . . .mentioned above, was one which is enclosed, numbers 3ann A
listed above, also postmarked at Flushi New York. Reviewof this letter reflects the write QueensJNew_York_,_ .
states in part,"...However when we rea a e attended your
wedding and is such a good friend of yours, we all feel very
badly. It will give the public the idea of guilt by association." i
The letter also states, "...I hope we will read that you will
repudiate him, or we will have to lose faith in you FRANK."
On B/9/75 facts in this matter were discussed with
AUSA EARL B. BOYD, Los Angeles, who stated that the wording in
the letter received in the envelope addressed to FRANK SINATRA
postmarked 7/29/76 at " shing, New York, was a technical
violation of the Extortion Statute and therefore AUSA BOYD
requested a logical investigation to identify the unsub, and
that AUSA BOYD would consider prosecution. -
For information of Bureau and New York, SINATRA
currently residing in Palm Springs, California, and according
to itinerary furnished on 8/9/76, SINATRA will remain there
until 8/19/76. SINATRA scheduled to be in New York City
8/21-27/76 and will be residing at the Waldorf Astoria, for per- V
formances in Saratoga, New York, and Holmdel, New Jersey. _

I have long ceased to believe everything I read in the news-
papers or see in other media, however the New York Times Op-
Ed page! edition today carries quite a verbatim interview
with Spiro Agnew. Hi§_§gntiment§_gn_the "ZlOH1§IS is terribly
gnjgrtynatggJg§p§ciajly_today, There is so much hatred, caused
by bigotry, lust for oil, money or whatever the reason, that
his remarks can only tend to incite more hatred...not much more
is needed to justify the Palestine guerrilas or the Israeli
guerrilas. with the backing of u former Vice President the
outpouring of more killing and bloodshed could very well take
place.
Im only writing this, because you have befriended him in his
hour of need, we know you to be a most compassionate man and
perhaps somehow, in some manner, you can be instrumental in
stilling this kind of horrible prapaganda. HHAT THE HORLD NEEDS
NON IS LOVE - LOTS OF IT - the entire world is in such trouble
that any word or deed can touch off another holocaust.
I trust you are well your appearances are greater than ever -
both your singing and delivery are still most unique.
Congratulations on becoming a Grandpa again!

Dear Hr. Sinatra:
There arc a great many Americans, like rynnlf, who have followed your career
for many years with much nnjoynont and who have always admirn your stronq
stands in support of minoritinn and otnnic qroups. We could even un50rtan
your not dounrtinq your friend Spiro fquou oven after he had confessed to
being a crook.

Dear Mickey:
I was shocked to hear about the anti-
semetic campaign Spiro Agnew is waging against the
Jews. His book is a modern edition of hein Kamnf.
The Jews have enough trouble without him fanning
the flames of hatred.
Knowing Frank over the years, I can say that he
has always been a genuine champion of minority
causes, religious and racial. lt made me sick to
my stomach to hear him gloat over the airwaves
and say, Sinatra is my best friend and he gave
me large sums of money.
Hell. is that a way to repay a friend, who had
friends like the late Manic Sacks and George
Evans, plus the many friends he still retains
like yourself. Halter Annennherz. Jerry weintraub
and I will include myself amongst many others.
Because of his bitterness and hatred against the
New York Times, The washinrton Post and the Media,
he elected to spit out his venom aqainst all the
Jews. what harm did I personally do him?
will his hatred subside with the burning of the
rest of the Jews that Hitler missed? will his
bitterness bring back hLF Vice Presidency?
Agnew blames the Jews for his undoing. instead of
blaming himself because of his greed for money.
The nan upstairs is the one who exposed him, be-
cause HE didn't want another Hitler as a President
of tne United States of America, and I thank GOD.
I trust that Frank will have second thoughts about
Agnew and come out with a statement. with kindest
regards to Frank and yourself. I am,
Mr. Hilton A. Rudin "

Remarks:
~ You will be separately advised regarding the
latent fingerprint examination and the disposition of
Q1 and Q2.
It was determined that the typewriting on
specimens Q1 and Q2 was prepared on an IBM typewriter
equipped with Prestige Elite type spaced twelve letters
to the inch.
Since the typewriting on specimens Q1 and Q2
of this case is different from the typewriting on documents
received from your office with a communication dated
August 9, 1976, the Laboratory is not consolidating specimens
Q1 and Q2 with the previously received case which is
being handled under Bureau file 96l979.
