PURPOSE: '!'o a.d11ise of the c~;;;;rt_--~t;t°us ofilie Department's
efforts to dispose of the late Director's personal memorabilia,
presently being stored in the Hoover Building.
DETAILS: On 11/22/77, inquiry was made with Miss Sarah G.~il;ox,
Ci~l . .Pivisi.Qil.L -~par_1=~e!lt of Justi_~ to determine the current status of our request for~---aepartment's assistance in disposing
of Mr. Hoover's personal memorabilia. Miss Wilcox advised that
nothing had been resolved, but since no one appeared willing to
claim the memorabilia, she felt it might qualify as •abandoned
property.• However, she advised that before the Government could
dispose of such property, the executor of the Tolson estate would
have to renounce all interest in the property since it was his
duty to effect a final disposition. She noted that under a codicil
to the Tolson Will, the executor was given the right to dispose
of the memorabilia-with residuals, if any, passing to the Boys'
Clubs of America and the Damon Runyon Foundation. She advised
that she would correspond with the executor in an effort to deter
mine whether he and the indicated residuary legatees intended
to waive their rights to the memorabilia. Miss Wilcox was advised
that an early resolution of this matter would be desirable in
view of the critical need for storage space in the Hoover Building.
On letter which
on 12/1/77. 12/5/77, Miss Wilcox provided a copy of the attached
she directed to the executor==£ the Tolson ':state

I orally advised you of the foregoing and in response to my question
as to whether the foregoing material should be immediately placed in inventory,
you advised in the affirmative, but only after a photograph is taken of the entire

and advised him that the 1 'l items had been obtained and there were no papers
or documents contained therein. I also told him that Mr. Mohr had shown the
Agents samples of the material which bad been contained in the file cabinets and
that it solely involved investment records of Mr. Hoover. Mr. Shaheen advised
that it probably would be well to confirm this in writing to the Attorney General
in view of his interest in the matter and I mentioned that certainly the Bureau
bad no objection In doing so but that I was sure he could understand a reluctance
to generate a lot of paper on a matter that had no substance but could be miscon
strued by someone who did not know the circumstances. Mr. Shaheen readily
agreed to this and suggested that perhaps the Director could orally advise the
Attorney General of the outcome of the matter and that perhaps this would suffice
and close the issue. ... -2-CONTINUED -OVER

To advise of current status of the Department's inquiry
ownership of certain memorabilia formerly located in
Director Hoover's Office.
DETAILS: By way of background, a memorandum, captioned as above,
was forwarded to the Department on 10/20/76, requesting a deter
mination regarding lawful ownership of various awards, plaques,
honorary degrees, etc., that were presented to the late Director
during his lifetime. The Printing and Space Management Section
was designated custodian of this material_f~l}d~: ,~al resolutio~

that the attorneys handling the Tolson estate~ai.-~~iacti~d J to her that they have no interest in thelaforementlnned mpmgr.41ob~li
Miss Wilcox noted that if the memorabilia should, nevertheless;·
be reposited in the Tolson estate, it would most likely pass
to the residuary legatee. Before the property can pass to the
residuary legatee of the Tolson will (Boys' Clubs), it would first have to pass under the Hoover will to the Tolson estate •
This would result in a reopening of the Hoover will based on
newly discovered property. The concerned parties are apparently less than anxious for this to happen.
Miss Wilcox said that the only interest in the property, at this time, appears to be on the part of Internal Rev nue Servic
(IRS). If the memorabilia is determined to b a , the
Hoover and Tolson estates will be subject to add t.fxes •
For this reason, IRS is following the matter ~ i1~x
and is interested in the final determination. _ ..
Miss Wilcox inquired whether the FBI had any official
: interest in any of the items listed on the memorabilia inventory •
.
1'she was informed that the Bureau had no specific interest other
than to arrange for final disposition in whatever way was deter-

' •· l Memorandum to The Director
Re: Movement and Present Location of Memorabilia
Removed from Office of Former Director J. E. Hoover
DETAILS
By way of background, the Attorney General in June, 1975, requested
that an inquiry be conducted as to whether any official files were removed from
Mr. Hoover's office to his residence following his death apd may have been snh
sequently removed from that residence following the death of Clyde A. Tolson.
A summary of the inquiry dated 7/3/75, which reflected interview of 100 indi
viduals, was furnished to the Department and it was reported that no information
was developed that any official files were removed from Mr. Hoover's office.
Subsequent inquiry established movement of property from Mr. Hoover's office
including awards, plaques, news articles and editorials, anniversary messages,
photographs, editorial cartoons, certificates, diplomas, degrees, athletic
trophies and miscellaneous items; some of which also might be classified as
personal property of Mr. Hoover. This property was removed under the
direction of Miss Helen W. Gandy, former Executive Assistant to Mr. Hoover,
who determined which items were personal and to be taken to Mr. Hoover's hoose
or which were to be retained by the FBI for possible later use for historical
purposes. This property was packaged by employees from the Special Projects
Section following Mr. Hoover's death and was then transported by employees from
the former Mechanical Section to the Taylor street warehouse for storage where
it remained for approximately 6 months. It was then removed intact and trans
ferred to FBI storage space in the General Accounting Office (GAO) Building and
was then subsequently moved approximately November, 1973, from GAO to space
occupied by the Special Projects Section in the Old Post Office (OPO) Building
for consideration for public display in the new J. Edgar Hoover Building. This
material continues to be located in space under control of the Special Projects
Section in the OPO and JEH Buildings with a limited number of items being
placed on public display on the Fm tour route.
No inquiry was received concerning this material but substantial detail
regarding the movement and retention of same by the Fm was included in reports
of interviews with 4 Special Projects Section employees reviewed by Senate Select
Committee (SSC) representatives during September and October, 1975. Results
of these interviews were furnished to the Department 11/17 /75.
In April, 1976, a memorandum was prepared for the Director regard
ing possible destruction of some awards that hung in Mr. Hoover's office and the
Director noted, '1 have reviewed the list and don't see anything I feel needs to
be retained." Efforts to dispose of this material raised questions as to owner
ship and proper disposal procedures in view of pending litigation regarding the

the Special Projects Section in the OPO Building was conducted on 9/17 /76.
Located in the OPO Building were a total of 68 boxes, crates and
packets which were segregated into general categories and examined to deter
mine the overall nature of the contents. Review disclosed the following:
1 . 33 cardboard boxes containing mounted articies and editoriai.s
regarding the FBI and Mr. Hoover, from various publications during the years
1913 -1972.
2. 7 cardboard boxes containing congraulatory messages to Mr.
Hoover on various anniversaries and special occasions.
3. 12 cardboard boxes, 1 cardboard wrapped packet and 1 masonite
receptacie containing photographs oi Mr. Hoover and/or other individuai.s who
were associated with him. Included in one of these boxes were 4 postage stamp
al!Jums. The stamp albums were removed from box #53 and are stored in a
safe located in the Printing and Space Management Section in the JEH Building.
4. 2 wooden crates containing 78 panels of mounted editorial cartoons;
1 additional wooden crate; 2 cardboard boxes, and 1 packet containing various
caricatures and editorial cartoons.
5. 2 wooden crates and package containing various diplomas,
certificates, degrees and awards presented to Mr. Hoover.
6. 1 cardboard box and 1 wooden crate containing athletic trophies.
7. 3 cardboard boxes containing miscellaneous items including a model
of Mr. Hoover's office at Vermont Avenue and K street; material related to the
book "Masters oi Deceit" such as news articies, advertisements and editoriais,
and material for the "scrapbook."
Examination disclosed that only material identifiable with the above
general categories was included and nothing synonymous with official files was
contained therein. It is noted that in some instances articles and editorials
contained file numbers of cases to which the items had some significance. Upon

Re: Movement and Present Location of Memorabilia
Removed from Office of Former Director J. E. Hoover
con1pletiun of the project, the containers, n u:mbered in sequence, were ret-urned
to the same storage space .
Separate from the above material are 18 cardboard boxes stored in
Special Projects Section space in the JEH Building which contain various awards
presented to Mr. Hoover through the years. These awards were formerly
displayed in the corridor and reception room leading to his office and a limited
number of these items are displayed currently on the tour route.
These items have been inventoried and are stored awaiting disposition.
Will dated 7/19/71 of Mr. Hoover, made seven bequests and left the
remainder of his estate to Clyde A. Tolson, who was also nominated as Executor
of the estate. No mention was made of any property related to the memorabilia.
A codicil dated 9/6/73 to Mr. Tolson's will dated 8/14/72, noted
t..11at any and all memorabilia, medals, plaques, photos, or any and all oL'ler
personal property which can be easily identified with the late John Edg~Lr Hoover

Purpose was to install the memorabilia and personal property in the John
Edgar Hoover Room in the new Fm Building and the Executor would be
empowered with exclusive discretion and judgment as to items to be included.
John Philip Mohr was nominated as Executor. Tolson's will is presently in
litigation in D. C. Superior Court, Probate Division.
On 9/30/76 Mr. John J. McDermott, Assistant to the Director·
Deputy Associate Director (Administration), designated Printing and Space

PURPOSE: To advise of Legal Counsel's opinion that certain boxes
of personal memorabilia belonging to the late Director should be
inventoried by Inspection Division.
DETAILS: As part of Administrative Services Division's continuing
efforts to dispose of certain awards, citations and other personal
memorabilia belonging to the late Director, an opinion was solicited
from Mr. Mintz as to whether numerous boxes of newspaper clippings
greeting cards, political cartoons, and the like (stored in the Old Post
Office) could be categorized as "files" and turned over to Records
Management Division. (It was previously decided that various plaql!eS
and citations were "personal property" and should be referred to the
Probate Court). Mr. Mintz advised that if the aforementioned boxes
of newspaper clippings, greeting cards, etc. had been removed from
Mr. Hoover's office after his death, even though innocuous in nature,
they could be of interest to either the Department of Justice or some
Congressional committee. He suggested that the contents be thoroughly
inventoried by Inspection Division.
Mr. Mintz contacted Mr. Conley of the Inspection Division,
and it was agreed that Inspection Division would initiate an inventory
and review of the material in the boxes.

~ ~''1-~
Purpose of this communication is to recommend contact
with portrait artist, J. Anthony Wills, Houston, Texas, to discuss the
commissioning of a portrait of Mr. Hoover.
Mr. Felt's memorandum to Mr. Mohr dated 5/9/72,
captioned as above, indicated that Acting Director L. Patrick Gray, m,
instructed a portrait of Mr. Hoover be hung in the Director's Office;
that if a suitable portrait was not available such should be commissioned.
Mr. Felt being of the opinion such a portrait was not available thought
suitable talent should be explored and approximate cost be determined
so recommendations could be submitted to the Acting Director.
Extensive research at the National Portrait Gallery resulted
in the review of available material of 35 artists whose work or reputation
appeared to n1erit consideration. Of these, J. Anthony Wills, Houston,
Texas, appears to have an appropriate style for a portrait of Mr. Hoover •
• J ·1,')1 _, • ''7 .
Limited inquiry has been'llnltle at H1~~~=~=~~~~~ Mr. Wills, and the attached booklet containing s.nj>'te's'lif
was obtained. It should be noted he did the official Whitf H
of former President Eisenhower (color photo attached}, as well as
paintings of Mrs. Eisenhower, George Marshall, Ben Hogan, and
numerous business executives, Governors, Senators and Cabinet officers.
Mr. Wills will paint from photographs, and his fees average
between $10, 000 and $15, 000, the price being contingent Jarge~y ppon the
size of the portrait and the amount of detailed wolfk requfred in it. He is
::::::~1e:orking on a portrait of Dr. Milton Eisenhower_. __ ------

Memorandum to Mr. Callahan
RE: PORTRAIT OF J. EDGAR HOOVER
Bureau files contain no reference to Wills, as well as
the files of the Houston Division. Local law enforcement agencies
checks were negative. He was born 6/13/12 at Berwyn, Pennsylvania,
and currently resides with his wife Dorothy at 3126 Kettering Street,
with a studio located at 3711 San Felipe Street, Apartment 12-G, in
Houston.
U the works of Mr. Wills appear appropriate, the next
step to be taken is to contact Mr. Wills directly to thoroughly discuss
his willingness to accept a commission and receive his estimates of
the cost for same as well as the requirements with respect to this,
such as his recommendations as to size, type of background, etc.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Houston office contact Mr. Wills in line with the above.

This memorandum sets out information believed pertinent to
captioned subject and recommends an initial course of action.
The Acting Director instructed that a portrait be painted. The
Administrative Division, working with Mr. Robert Stewart, Curator, National
Portrait Gallery, whittled a list of approximately 100 portrait artists down to
five and then suggested that the portrait be painted by Mr. J. Anthony Wills of
Houston, Texas. Wills is unquestionably outstanding; samples of his work are
included with the attached memorandum of 6/13/72 from Mr. Dunphy to Mr.
Callahan.
Referenced m~·orandum suggested that the Houston Office discus
the matter with Mr. Wills .. ,\The Acting Director said, "No. Office of Legal
Counsel should handle from this point on to ascertain all that must be learned
prior to decision and contract." Office of Legal Counsel will recommend a
different appr9'lch.
' . • ... J.
I have discussed the matter with Mr. Pellerzi, Assistant Attorney
General for Administration, and with Mr. Stewart, Curator of the National
PorP'ait Gallery. Mr. Pellerzi is knowledgeable because he is charged with
obtaining a portrait of each outgoing Attorney General. The pertinent points of
information are the following: -~ 11 .C>l;, l!!:.~OO?f'I? a~f

for $5, 000, bearing in mind that the artist will work from phOtbk'rai>!s le/& thus ,
eliminate the tedious and difficult "sitting" process irivolvedjn pa.intiriJ .a live
subject. The Department has a standard price of $5, 000 for the-p6r&ait of each
resigning Attorney General. Mi-. stewart thiJlks $5, 000 will not do the job.
He mentioned prices of $6, 000 to $8, 000 ft>r ,portraits of famous persons now
being painted and suggests that to get the best we-should be prepared to pay
$10, 000. Referenced memorandum states. that Mr. Wills charges $10, 000 to

Portrait of
2. Raising the Money -We have no funds in the budget to pay for
this portrait. Mr. Pellerzi recommends against requesting such funds in the
budget, stating that we would invite a lot of sniping from the floor of Congress.
The Department's portrait fund is not available for a portrait of any person
below Cabinet level. This leaves us to raising the money by subscription among
the Bureau employees or finding an outside donor. I think the latter may be
available. I recently had an unsolicited call from John J. Grady, a friend of
long standing who is either President or immediate Past President of the local
chapte~ of. tqe Society of Former Special Agents. Grady told me that top circles
in the/ OCl!IB(, discussing what they might do to provide a suitable memorial for
Mr, Hoover. I then broached this possibility to him on a confidential ba.siS, and
he was enthusiastic, stating that the Society could easily raise this kind of money.
3. Acceptance of Gift -The FBI is not one of those many Federal
agencies authorized by statute to accept gifts. Mr. Pellerzi said this would be
no problem. The Department of Justice is authorized to accept gifts and could
accept the gift for the FBI.
4. Choosing the Artist -Both Mr. Stewart and Mr. Pellerzi said
the act of choosing the artist is a most delicate one. The work of no artist will
please everyone, and the voices of dissent are apt to be many. For example,
President Johnson rejected the portrait of himself painted by the renowned artist,
Peter Hurd. The "avant garde" painting of former Attorney General Katzenbach
which hangs in this building shocked many, amused others, and apparently pleased
a few. Ethel Kennedy picked the artist for the portrait of her lahusband but
did not like the finished product and would not release it to the Department of
Justice, so it now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery. The Department bas
no portrait of Ramsey Clark because he walked out in a huff when the portrait
was half finished, so the result iS that the Department has paid the artist $3, 000
and has no portrait.
Because of the above considerations I suggest that no person in
the FBI should choose the artist. Mr. Pellerzi said it is Department policy, for
the reasons obvious above, to leave the selection of the artist to the family.
Mr. Stewart agreed. The family in Mr. Hoover's case should be three to five

Memorandum D. J. Dalbey to Mr. Felt
Re: J. Edgar Hoover
Portrait of
"old-timers" such as Miss Gandy, Mr. Tolson, and Louis B. Nichols, who knew
Mr. Hoover so long and so well through so many decades. They should select
the artist from among up to half a dozen possibilities. Brochures of each artist's
work can be supplied to them so that they can choose the one whose style seems
the best suited.
and If persons of the above type will not serve/ the Society of
Former Special Agents will donate the portrait, the Society can pick its own
selection committee.
Whatever the committee or jury they have two ways of proceeding
as follows:
A. A contract with an artist selected by the committee.
B. An announced contest for portrait painters by which the committee
will not choose the artist but will choose the portrait from among those submitted.
Mr. Pellerzi likes the contest idea, Mr. Stewart does not. Stewart
points out that the contest will be entered by a lot of second-raters and that, in
his opinion, some first-rate artists are apt to be too proud to enter. All of this
could cause many problems. I agree with Stewart.
5. Terms of Contract -The contract must provide in its terms
for possible rejection by the committee. Both Pellerzi and Stewart so recommend,
although Stewart says the possibility of rejection is quite small because there
are artistic negotiations between the artist and the committee in which the artist
submits possible sketches until an agreement is reached. The rejection clause
should contain provision for a "consolation" payment of a relatively small sum
such as $1, 000 in the case the portrait is rejected. Both Pellerzi and Stewart
have contract forms suitable for use in this case.
6. Size of Portrait -Mr. Pellerzi has no particular views.
Mr. Stewart likes life-size, half length. Other sizes are full length (standing)
and bust. The size should be specified in this contract.

Memorandum D. ,J, Dalbey to Mr. Felt
Re: J, Edgar Hoover
Portrait of
7. Caution -Mr. Stewart suggests that we keep this matter as
quiet as possible so that no one will be besieged with offers to paint the portrait.
8. Summary -It see~to me at this stage that the best thing to
do would be to determine whether the ociety of F.SJr'!'ler ~ec;i.,il_Aizents will
raise the money and make the gift. f hey are willing to do so, they could take
over almost the entire procedure. The Bureau could supply a list of half a dozen
of the most outstanding portrait artists for a starter. The Society could ask
these artists for samples of their work. The Society could arrange with Miss
Gandy, et al. to choose an artist. The Society could contract with the artist.
The Society could arrange for either the original committee of Miss Gandy, et al.
or a separate committee of their own to pass on the finished product. The
Society will then donate the portrait as a gift.
RECOMMENDATION:
That I be authorized to discuss this matter confidentially and
informally with John J. Grady mentioned above. If so authorized, I will make
no decisions and no commitments. The understanding will be that the Society
will determine on its own what it wants to do and, if it wishes to act, will then
by appropriate delegation present the matter to the Acting Director •

wartime. which for Mr. Grav is from 12-7-41 through 4-28-52. Based on this,
v:e c::tn ;;ccount fur an SCD of 9-1-58 at HI:W so there must have been a trans
position of the month and day in recording Uw date. The Department did not

~S. nine mo::ths in 10 .CJ",\·~s 011 contsac;t with his law firm and not creditable federal
cJ seryjce. There10re, Mr. Gray had a break in service between HEW and the
Departn\enl. As reconstructeJ by the Bureau his current SCD should be 7-5-59
which should be r<:>corded by SF-50, ·Notification of Personnel Action. Since the
corrected date will be subject to review by the Department, it was checked with
the Personnel Office of the Department which concurred with the 7-5-59 date.
As of 10-14-72, Mr. Gray had 66 hours of annual leave.
Mr. Kinley Justice and HEW carried l\fr. Kinley's SCD as 1-21-69 which is the
date he entered on duty with HEW. We corresponded with the
National Personnel Records Center at St. Louis and obtained that part of his OPF
recordin~ Mr. Kinley' s employment with the Forest Service of 2 months 6 days ii
1962 and service of 1 year, 1 month, and 16 days with the U. S. Courts, Ninth
Circuit during 1966 and 1967. By crediting this service a revised SCD for
Mr. Kinley is 9-29-67 and a corrected SF-50 to record this is being effected.
Had HE\V utilized the correct SCD of 9-29-67, Mr. Kinley would have been placed
in a 6-hour rather than 4-hour leave earning category on 9-29-70. However,
according to his OPF received from the Department, he was placed in a 6-hour
leave earning category as of 1-21-72, 3 years after his EOD at HEW. Under the
circumstances we cannot determine, based on leave records received from the
Department, how much, if any additional annual leave to which Mr. Kinley may
have been entitled. At any rate under current regulations, there would be no
authority to restore any such additional leave to him. However, legislation had
been ir.troc!uced and will have to be reintroduced which wruld permit restor:;.tion
of annu:il leave where there has been administrative error. Should any such
legislation become law, we will follow to determine what action can be taken on th.
matter. As of 10-14-72, Mr. Kinley had 260 hours of annual leave accrued.

Re: !v~aintc1wnce of l\!r. Gray's Official Personnel
Fold<'l' in tlw DqJ~tly's Office
Revisi1J11 of Service Computation Dates of
Mr. Cr,1y, Mc. KiBlcy, :md i\lr. Armstrong
Mr. Arm Military service is creditable in fixing the SCD; however, the
Department had not verified Mr. Armstrong's military service
and had not recorded an SCD at all. Bureau secured a copy of the DD-214 from
Military Records Center, St. Louis, recording Mr. Armstron'.~'s military sen"
of 2 years, 11 monU1::;, and 29 days and, accordingly, an SF-50 has been
executed showing his SCDas 4-22-67. This means Mr. Armstrong should have
been in :.i 6 instc::id of a 4-hour leave earnil1g category one day after he entered
on du! v with the Department. The Department was notified and corrected its
lean• accrual records which were transferred to the Bureau re crediting
Mr. Armstrong with 114 additional hours of annual leave. As of 10-14-72
Mr. Armstrong had 235 hours of annual leave accrued.
The OPFs received from the Department on Ms. Herwig, Mrs. Neena
and Mrs. Cavacini record proper SCDs and leave earnillg categories.
RE C0Mfl1ENDA TIO NS:
1. Necessary action to effect the corrected SCD on 'Mr. Killley and
Mr. Armstrong has been taken.
2. The SF-50 to correct the changed SCD concerning Mr. Gray must
be approved by the Attorney General or Deputy. Accordillgly, it is recommende
that the ..£!2_rr<;:..ction S F-50, be taken to Mr. Du!fner along with Mr. Gray's OP F a>
requested by Mr. Duft:ner. The Bureau will, of course, maintain a personnel
file on Mr. Gray to contain pertinent illformation concernillg his Bureau service
as was done ill the case of Mr. Hoover.

and money in Mr. Hoover's retirement account. He was informed that
Mr. Hoover had regular life insurance in the amount of $45, 000.
With respect to his own insurance, Mr. Tolson was advised he has
regular FEGLI life insurance in the amount of $42, 000, which wW reduce by
2% each month beginning July, 1972, until it reaches 25% of the amount in
effect before the first reduction, or $10, 500. This amount, $10, 500, wW
continue cost free to Mr. Tolson for the remainder of his life. Mr. Tolson w
