which tends to indicate the hidden ownership and?or interest
in the field of legitimate enterprise by Samuel I. Giancana.U~
92
' As a matter oi background pertainin} to Giancana,
it ie noted that his date of birth, according to official
records in Chicago, is reflected under the various dates of
lay 24, 1908, June 15, 1908, and June 30, l90S, under the
name of Home Salvatore Giancana. Be is a vidover and
maintains a residence at 1147 South Ienonah, Oak Perk,
ilIinois.Lx,
Sources of in§ornation in the Chicago area and
elsewhere who have iurnished reliable information in the pant
advised that Giancana's beginnings in organized criminal
activity commenced in the late 19205 and has continued through
and up to the present time. These sources have advised that
he has graduated through the hierarchical setup oi organized
criminal activity in_Chicago_to the point where sonetiae,
probably in 1956, he assumed absolute leadership of thil
organization. Chicago sources have pointed out that Giancana
_ is the final authority on all matters pertaining to the
Chicago criminal organization including both illicit activity
and the so-cilled field of legitimate endeavor.Q,

Following the issuing or a preliminary injunction
RICHARD B. AUSTIN on July 16, 1963, the Chicago

It is to be noted, however, that Sheriff RICHABB B. GGIL?IE,
Cook County Sheriff, immediately instituted a surveillance

In March of 1944 Halter Winchell furnished an anonymous letter which
alleged that $40,000 had been paid by Sinatra to secure a 4-F Selective Sarvio
classification. As a result of this, the Bureau inquired into the Selective
Service status of Sinatra and it was definitely ascertained that these allegat
were untrue and that Sinatra was properly rejected for military service becaus
of an ear ailment. The psychiatrist who examined Sinatra also concluded that
inasmuch as Sinatra suffered from psychoneurosis, he'was not acceptable mater
from a psychiatric viewpoint. During this Selective Service investigation, it
was also ascertained that Sinatra had an arrest record. _

labor-management racketeering, and is very close to Senator Kennedy and
his brother Robert Kennedy! is well~k_nown to Inspector Courtney Evans
of the Investigative Division. In March, 1959, O'Donnell spoke to Inspector
Evans regarding Senator Kennedy's suspicion that there might be a tap on
one oi his telephones. O Donnell inquired whether it would be possible tor
the FBI to check Kennedy's phones; however, within a matter oi minutes,
he again called Inspector Evans to request that the Bureau forget the entire
matter since he, O'Donnell, could make arrangements to handle the matter
himself. Additionally, in March, 1959, O'Donnell discussed with Inspector
1
Evans the publicity being given remarhs made by Robert Kennedy concerning
alleged offers of political support for Senator John Kennedy if Robert Kennedy
would "go easy" on certain witnesses before the McClellan Committee.
O'Donnell advised that Robert Kermedy stated the press had unduly enlarged
on his remarks, and O'Donnell said he did not believe the Kennedys have the
facts necessary to back up Robert Kennedy's reported statements. _
Kenneth O'Donnell also advised Inspector Evans in March, 19 59,
that he % been informed that Cardinal Cashing was extremely displeased at
the reaction of some Catholic Church publications to statements made by
Senator Kennedy regarding the separation of church and state. O'Donnell
said that Senator Kennedy's position that no public tax money should be used
for parochial schools was the position of the Church and that Cardinal Cushing
felt the critical remarks of the Church publications regarding Kennedy s
statements were unwarranted. 9437374-1'7! '

Although he has displayed a very friendly attitude toward
the Bureau, Robert Kennedy has been an outspoken advocate oi the establishment
oi a Federal Crime Commission. Fe has stated, in my opinion our rst
and most urgent need is tor a national crime commission. This commis-
sion would serve as a central intelligence agency, a clearinghouse to which
each oi the seventy-odd Federal agencies anti the more than ten thousand
local law enforcement agencies throughout the country would constantly
teed Ltiormation on the leading gangsters. The commission would pool
and correlate all its information on underworld figures and disseminate
it to the proper authorities." 2-105993-A-Washington Post 6-15-69!

In connection with the recent hotly contested primary

1n a syndicated column datelined Washington, D. C. , 1'-14-57,
Fulton Lewis, Jr. , described Kennedy as "conscientious and sincere" in his
Senate duties and stated, "Kennedy tempers his political liberalism with
enough realistic conservatism that the Walter Reuther-Americans for
Democratic Action leftists mistrust his independence. That was the real
reason they threw the No. 2 Vice Presidential! nomination to Kefauver in
Chicago at the Democratic National Convention! last August.
Fulton Lewis called attention to the fact that Kennedy's and
Richard N'ixons records are very similar in that ! both served in the Navy
in World War II; ! both were elected to the House oi Representatives M1946;
and both graduated to the Senate--Nixon in 19 50 and Kennedy in 1952.
The 6-30-59 issue of "The Washington Post and Times-Herald
contained an article reecting that Senator Kennedy urged "swift repeal of the
loyalty oath requirement oi the National Defense Education Act." This Act
required students getting a Federal scholarship loan to sign a loyalty oath.

would "virtually put Jam es! Hoifa and his associates out of business";
whereas Utah Senator Wallace Bennett exposed the talseness of this
assertion. Senator 'al.lace stated that tar from ;ai%-lg Hofia oat of

in connection with civu 1'1gi'1£B matters, senator nennecy
has been particularly interested in Federal legislation to curb bombings
of religious and educational institutions. In Bth Congress he was oosponsor
oi Kennedy-E rvin Bill designed to deal with hate bombings whose P1'°Vi5i°T15 were
substantially the same as bombing provisions of ivil ghts Act of 19 60 A
Whi ch has increased FBI jurisdiction in this field.
With regard to subversive matters, it is interesting to note
that in March, 1960, Governor Wesley Powell oi New Hampshire a staunch
Ni:-;on supporter! accused Senator Kennedy of "softness toward communism."
Kennedy called upon the Vice President to repudiate Powell's accusation, ~._..
and Nixon's press representative issued a statement in Washington saying -
the Vice President has known and worked with Senator Kennedy since they
served together on the House Labor Committee in 1947. While they have
differences on some issues, they have always been in complete agreement
in their unalterable opposition to communism at home and abroad."
In his column oi 4-8-60, Drew Pearson dwelled upon Kennedy's
growth in politics and said the Senator had been "pushed forward both as a
boy and as A public servant by an aggressive, wealthy taller who h.-'-92_d become
an economic royalist." Pe arson stated that "when the frequently criticized
Americans for Democratic Action gave Kennedy a high liberal rating, he
squirmed over being put in the same category as Senators Douglas, Morse

record--Pearson states--Kennedy wrote the paper to state he had "secured a
copy of this voting record. . . and! found that my high score was not particularly
radical. In fact. . .1 achieved the same rating as Senate Majority Leader
Lyndon Johnson, President pro ten: Carl Hayden, and othersl." '

Pearson continued, "Kennedy. . . has grown further and
further away from the political influence of his father, further away from
the conservative wing of the Catholic Church. There was a time when
hie fafhnr and came: nlnfnnnfn nf his: r92|'92n'r-P11 ihlinnrn Iannnrlv nn nun nf
the most vital questions of the decade--McCarthyism--and his straddle
on that issue still hurts him. McCarthy got his strongest support from
Boston. McCarthy also got heavy nancial support from Jack's father.
And at one conference at the Kennedy home on Cape Cod, the elder
Kennedy, Cardinal Spellman, and McCarthy mapped the latter s strategy.
So young Jack, caught between his father and the Boston Irish, ducked.
This evasion which has been highlighted by Mrs. Roosevelt, one of the
most powerful persons in the Democratic Party, @ left lgting scars."

NHSCELLANEOUS:
As you are aware, allegations of immoral activities on
Senator Kennedy's part have been reported to the FBI over the years.
These allegations are not being treated in detail in this memorandum.
They include, however, data reflecting that lennedy carried on an
illicit relationship with another man's wife during World War ll; that probably in January, 19 60! Kennedy was "ciogiaromiseci" with a woman
in Las Vegas; and.that Kennedy and Frank S ra have in the recent
past been involved in parties in Palm Springs, Las Vegas and New York
City. Regarding the Kennedy-Sinatra information, "Confidential"
magazine is said to have affidavits from two mulatto prostitutes in
New York. 2-4296-26-606; 94-37374-18, 23!
Allegations also have been received concerning hoodlum
connections of Senator Kennedy. Again, in the interest of brevity, no
effort is being made to list these allegations in full detail--much of the
information being unsubstantiated. In March, 1960, for example, it
was reported that Frank Sinatra has purposely cultivated Kennedy's brother-in-law actor Peter Lawfod! and that Sinatra would assist in Kennedy's
campaign so that Joe Fisc etti and other notorious hoodlums could have
an entre to the Senator. 94-37374-23!
Regarding Kennedy s book, "Proles in Courage," George
Sokolsky advised L. B. Nichols in Ma 1957, of a rumor circulating inNew York to the effect that Arthur Krgék actually wrote the book. According
to Sokoisky, a group of New York people were attempting to verify whether
Krock did, in fact, write the book--and if Krock did, they were going to
charge fraud in connection with the awarding of a Pulitzer Prize to Kennedy.

During the Fall of 1958, an advertisement reportedly
appeared in a Grand Rapids, Michigan, newspaper stating that Senator
Kennedy would speak at a political dinner honoring the local Democratic
candidate for Congress. The advertisement stated that the Senator's
address would be carried over six radio stations and would be sponsored
by a local automobile dealer. Regarding this advertisement, the Civil
Rights Division oi the Department requested the liureau conduct a
full investigation in the Election Laws category to determine ii the
Grand Rapids auto dealer had violated the Federal law. Regarding this
matter, Mr. Rosen noted, "Believe we should alert Kennedy." The
Director and Mr. Toison agreed. Accormngly, Resimnt Agent William
Carpenter alerted Senator Kennedy concerning our Electbn Law investiga-
tion in Michigan. The Senator was most pleased at being informed and
greatly appreciated the Director's thoughtfulnessi 9 4-37374!
It is reiterated that the above is not a complete summary
oi all information in Bufiles concerning Senator Kennedy. It is, instead,
a summary of high lights of pertinent available data- -with particular
regard to recent information md material concerning his relationship
with and views toward the Bureau. !

any indiscretions or girls involved with the four men specified by Otash.
On July 11, 1960, Los Angeles-Agents had occasion to talk to Otash
in his ofce. During the conversation he inadvertently--or his actions indicated' inadvertance--that some operator, unnamed and unidentified, was iéégimptmg to spy
on Senator Kennedy's hotel room. He inferred to the Agents that " idential"
