On September 3, 1946, Er. Ostholthoff called the Bureau from ., ,_
the ios Angels: Division to furnish the following information concerning 3" E:::
the hearing held before the Civilian ?roduction administration at San Fran- e
cisco, California, pursuant to Bureau instructions. l.1-.-i-*1

--..__
_ L
After reviewing the transcript of the minutes taken at this Hearing and 19
made available to him by the CPA in San Francisco, Mr. Ostholthoff advised that
the witnes es who t stifi d th s e e erein werg,gg§ placed under oath bi the Commissionerbefore furnishing their testimony. However, Mr. s o 0 s _ ec e e re <csr1ng'E5§'tesr:nny'tBe Commissioner iniormed all of the witnesses that it would {
be a violation of law for them to make false stat t t the hearing, but heCo omissioneral iso e eir ng t e w tness stand that they did
not have to testify to anything which might incriminate themselves.
. xjacccrding to the transcript of testimony Mr. Ostholthoff advised that e'_the following three viduals testified on behalf of subject Siegel: Z.
r ' During this hearing Mr. Ostholthoff stated that the Government contended
that the Casino and Restaurant, which are presently under construction at Les Vegas,
Nevada, constitute one building project which is separate and apart from the -rc-posed hotel which is also now under construction consisting of appvoximateml
rooms. The Government has indicated no objection to the completion of the -=1iw
and Restaurant since its construction was started prior to the stop order i;--ed
by the CPA on March 26, 1946, prohibiting all new commercial buildings. Lt the
same time, however, the Government also contends that since the construction of the
Flamingo Hotel was started after the issuance of the CPA stop order and is physi-/ cally separated from the Casino and Restaurant by a space of approximately 120 feet, its further construction must be stopped pursuant to the CPA stop order of Harsh 26,

ticventysfive per cent coupleted while the Hotel is only sixty-five per cent completed
Ihentook the witness stand in behalf of subject Siegel
he testified generally to the effect that the Casino, Restaurant, and Hotel were all
one project, maintaining the o and Restaurant were only parts of the mainbuilding which is the Hotel. so testified that this was the original 67
intent of those interested in e cons ction of the Flamingo Hotel, further
pointing out that the basements of the Restaurant and Casino go around and through
the Hotel, thereby making it one edifice. Mr. Ostholthoff expressed the belief
that these allegations may be false since investigation has established that
separate building permits were taken out for the Casino and the Hotel and, secondl
because/different contractor. was hired specifically and solely for the purpose of
constructing the Casino and nestaurant.

' lthoff stated t at he appeared to be testifying truthfully but noted thatgave very careful and at times confusing answers in reply to questions
ose the Government Mr O th lt ff p y . . s 0 ho expressed the be it would be
extremely difficult to establish a case of perjury against but said he
wished to hold his final opinion in abeyance until he had an opportunity to study
thoroughly the transcript of the minutes in this initial hearing.
%'{hen who represented the builders of the Flamingo Hotel,
took the witness stan on e 5 of subject Sie thoff advisedv 'testified along substantially the same lines a noting that
also contended that the Casino Pestaur t o , . an , and e were one building an A,
further that_this had been the intention of Siegel and his associates from the '
beginning of this project. l!'.1-umthoff again expressed the belief that some of
the allegations made by " ess may be false for the same reasons that someof the allegations mde be false.
At the conclusion of this hearing Mr. Ostholthoff advised that the Com-
missioner found in favor of Siegel and his associates and directed that the construc-
tion of the Flamingo Hotel should proceed. However, the Commissioner also gave the
Government_until Thursday, September 5, 1946, in which to develop and present further
evidence to show that the construction of the Flamingo Hotel should be stopped forth-
with. Mr. Ostholthoff stated that the San Francisco Gffice of the CPA has conducted
hearing to be held on September 5, 1946, in the hope that it can prevent the further
construction of the Flamingo Hotel. Mr. Ostholthoff noted that the Sen Francisco
Office of the CPA is now cooperating fully with the Bureau in connection with. this
inquiry.

latter from a possible fraud angle, we had the feeling that any possible
action by the @overnnent in the future night he greatly_trengthened
should any testimony be under oath since this would support any possible
purjury violation. I
He stated that it was not customary to put witnesses in such
hearings under oath. To my inquiry he advised, however, that there was
the right of the Government to put witnesses under oath in these hear-.
ings and I stated that as I had previously indicated to him there were
great possibilities of severe public criticism against the CPA and the
adninistration generally should further constnuation in this natten be
permitted and that it certainly might be wise for the oaths to be ad-
ministered.

t San Francisco to determine whether this could be

Government's interests were fully protected since I assumed his organiz

stated that perhaps the UPA and the FBI were investigating the same
thing and indicated that if they determined any fraud it would qf cours
be turned over to us. I stated I'felt there was no duplication since
at this point there was little that the FBI could do until the hearing

Ch mgugg 12 191,6, ostholthoff at 5:10 p.n., said he uni
another lg Ind gone to the GPA headquazrtars at San htncisco,
had talked to the Regional Director and indicated to him in what Oa they were interested. The Regional Illrector pointed out that the 17 7
matter was one not with I his office butreferred Ostholthoff to o.f the Compliance
Section oi the CPL. Ls re ec e t ll, theultimate result oi 0stholtho"s contact t ns to the "
effect that the information Ihich he sought was no available.
Upon the basis of the substance of the above information, Ostholthoff
was directed to make a formal request for the materiel desired so
that we could go on record with the CPA in California as to our
specific desires in this setter.
I1 Lugust 20, 1946, pursuant to my instructions, Ostholthotf
called me back and at 3:30 p.m., n time, me thathe tad made a specic request oI aM thathad
rened to make the les available stholthoi . vised V
Uetholthoff in e? of the refusal that the Bureau ioold probably
go directly to IPA and make the request here in Iashington for the
infcrnation and if we did not go directly to CH we might have to
handle it through the offices of the Attorney General. I told
Ostholthofi he would be advised as to that action the Bureau would
take in this regard. -I cautioned Ostholthoff in connection with
his open inquiries into the matter and to be Gircmnspect in his
dealings in order not to disclose the Bureau's interest in the over-
all picture. This information was furnished to Hr. 'Iamn's ofce

h Lca1led to his offi.oe_l.nd at thattime we exp e e in our interest in the construction ct the Flamingo
Hotel» lie said that he understood that the F.B.I. had ease interest in
this matter. Ihen he was asked to produce the file in order that we p
night review it, he said that he could not produce the file because the case
was still pending, that there would probably be another hearing on thismatter before the comissioner on September 6, 1946, and, therefore, he Z-
did not think that the 1-".B.I. should look at the file Ie asked his hat ' e ' Ofurther action the G.P.A. planned to take, and he stated that he did not A7
|:now. Be laid that he is going to have a conference with the legal staff
of the G.P.A. on August 19, 1946, and requested that we come back on
August Z0, 1946, when he would be in a better position to discuss the
matter. We told him that we were interested only in the facts in controversy,
and he tas ted that he did not know completely what those facts were, that
ec ssry to review the transcript or the hearing before
that the case apparently would turn on rather technical
po n s, _ would probably be necessary for his organization to
secure technical help in working out their investigation. He said that at
' this point he was not certain that further investigation wouid he made
or that the C.P.A would do b . anymore a out this case, but that he would be
able to advise us concerning this on August 20.
Upon our return to the cisco office, special Agenttelephonically communicated withnd asked him for the

This oonfe d in the office and before the I £70
arrival oi
he had no con o over
desired that we be furnished all poss eapologised for the fact that
oes, thus indicating that he
ormation concerning this matter.
it this time we again asked to go over the
file on the entire amingo Hotel natter, J-ated that hewould not do this because of the fact that the investigation on the
part oi the C.P.A. Ias still pending; that if v|e felt his attitude was
unreasonable we Iould have to have his superiors in Washington order him
to turn over the tile to us. Ie also formally asked him for the name
of the orter who was preparing the transcr nhefor and this Ias refused usaid tha e no van o furnish this transcript us because
there were several things said at the hearing which were off the record
and he wanted to go over those with the commissioner before making any
transcript available to us.
I told ¢hat we could not understand their 92attitude, that we were no outsiders" nor were we aligned with the bx
respondents in this matter but were representatives of another Government
agency h d jurisdiction to investigate fraud against the Government.I askegif the builders of the Flamingo be entitledto a copy o e transcript of this hearing, m mred the
question by stating, Yes, they would if they pay e ee .
Quid that he did not want to appear unreasonable but
suggested we wait until the completion of the hearing on September 5, -10¢
ch time he would be willing to turn over all of the information.
hen pointed out that it was august 20 and the hearing was to he
ep ember 5 and that we would be held up only tio weeks. Ie pointed
out that time is of the essence in a latter of this kind, that the
individuals involved in this latter fork that a great dealof evidence could disappear in two sreeknhen stated that we had loo
gene erer the ease yesterday, and I advised hm that if he had furnished
us the facts in this matter yesterday I apparently had missed hearing them
and ashed that he repeat the facts in controversy on the whole investigation.
He then stated that r revolved around whether the first permissionwhich was granted Wise valid and whether the builders of the '
Flamingo Hotel were cons rusting one building or more than one building.
I pointed out that we were dealing in generalitieseand that we wanted
the facts in the matter. I pointed out that they had presented a case
before a commissioner and had received an adverse ruling. I asked him

by analysing the facts presented by the Government and 1-hose presented by
the defense you can obtain the reasons for a decision.
then reverted back to the theory that the matter was hi h
tehonioali I n asked him why the stop order was sent to the "builders
oi the Flamingo Hotel, and he said that was based on investigation con-
da-'cted by the Cosapliinoe Division of the C.P..A. which had been 1' -.i.rnished92
to the Ialhington headquarters of the O.P.'A., who had issued the stop
order. I asked him in view of the fact that this investigation had been
conducted if they were not in a position at that time to present a casebefore the commissioner which would uphold the contention oi the Govern- £7
ment, and he stated that they were supposed to be in a position to do that
but sometimes they were caught short on s stop order and they do not have
enough evidence to present. He said that he felt that if the F.B.I.
conducted an investigation of this matter at this time it would harm
the investigation of the C.P.A. I asked him hoe it would harm the C.P.A.
investigation, and he said he did not knmw. I then advised him that I
did n that our investigation would interere with the C.P.A.caee. emarked about swarms of agents out investigating this
matter a been duplicating the C.P.A. investigation and said that
the builders of the Flamingo Hotel would cane up to the hearing with
high-price lawyers and technical experts. I asked him if the builders
of the Flamingo Hotel were not already on notice that his organization
was conducting an investigation, and he admitted that they had already
appeared at the first hearing tit-h high-price lawyers
then proposed that we hold off our investigation 92mtil
after the hearing September 6th. He said that if both the C.P..92.
and the F.B.I. investigate this matter we night both fail, but that if-7 92 :' _ V1 I __.._r. ; 4, -- x, _---- =1" '"* I

that Ir. Ostholthoff had telephoned the Bureau and had advised that he had
been refused access to the CPL records. It was recommended that the matter
be taken up with the headquarters of the CPA here and a memorandum indicating
that Ir. Oetholthoff had been instructed to forlrard air nail special delivery
the deteils iith reference to this tter, was suciuitted. -
I took no action on this memorandum and in fact took no further
action until the receipt of this air mail letter, which was on Thursday
night August 22. On receipt of the letter from Ostholtho on Thursday night,
I, on Friday, called the matter to the attention of the Director on the
telephone and secured his authorization to discuss the matter with CPA
headquarters in Isshington in an effort to secure access to the records.
