Reference is made to your memorandum dated November 22, 1955relative to a telephone call from Colonel Gates for a very short and briefarticle relative to accomplishments in the field of law enforcement duringthe last six months. 3
In accordance with instructions I called at Colonel Gates officeand he was absent. I conferred with his secretary to enquire if she knewof anything of the details and purposes of the memorandum or concerning thelength and scope so that it could be prepared consistent with his ideas.She claimed that she did not know of the request concerning such articlebut would suggest that I subsequently cmununicate with Colonel Gates.Following Colonel Gates return from luncheon I enquired with him telephonically as to his desires and referred specifically to his telephonic requestto the Director for such information and he stated that he already had everything that was needed. I asked what he had and he stated that the articlewas entitled "A determined Triumvirate in the War Against Crime." I in-formed Colonel Gates that that article was one which had been prepared foruse in the!Hearst Newspapers and he stated he understood that, that thatwas what he had telephoned Mr. Hoover about and that the article was nowon his desk and that satisfied all his requirements for information of this
type.
Again enquiring specifically if his telephoned request was forany supplemental information, he said-"No, the article he had was the onehe had in mind." He also stated that he had enquired of his secretary tosee if anything else was outstanding and she informed him that there wasnot. It thus appears that this requirement is satisfied and I advised bq/hothand Mr. Quinn of this --1

UEMORANDUM FOR MR. TOLSOR.
you on August 27, 1934, with regard to Hr. J. C Brown of the
Hearst Metrotone News, please be informed"that Brown conferred
with me on august 27th and stated that the Hearst Metrotone News
desired to obtain at the earliest possible date flashes of the
identification unit and the crime laboratory and a thirty-word
talk by the Director concerning the crime situation in this country
today. Mr. Brown apparently got his idea from the booklet entitled"War on Crime" and wants the/movie reel to follow that booklet. He
also stated that it was his intention to talk with the Attorney
General and get him to say a few words and also Hr. Keenan.
I informed him that the Director had consistently
refused to go on the air or to pose for movie reels in view of the
fact that the pressure of other duties precluded this. Hr. Brown,
in my opinion, is a highpowered salesman and apparently would not
take "no" for an answer. He was somewhat persistent in this matter.
I informed him that I would gladly call this to your attention and
if he so desired, he could communicate with the Division at a later
date to secure a definite decision in the premises.. With regard to Mr. Egan's memorigda addressed to
Respectfully,/

,Pursuant to your telephonic instructions MrJlBrown of the Metro:
92*~ Tone News called at this office last Friday with reference to the taking of
some "shots" of the Identification Unit, but decided to postpone the taking-
of any pictures until clearer weather prevailed. He came to the'IdetifiE§J
tion Unit today and took long shots of the Typing Section and the Technical
Section. A number of close-up pictures were then made of the Technical
Section employees classifying and searching fingerprints, as well as some ,
shots of the mechanical sorting and punching machine, and some photos in the
Single Fingerprint Section of employees conducting a search and examining an
object on which latent fingerprints had been developed. M. Brown also
wanted a picture of one of the experts in the Technical Laboratory making an
examination through one of the microscopes, and arrangements were made for
Mr. Coffey to pose for this shot. In addition, he was interested in obtain-
ing a photograph of the section in the Card Index files where there are main-
tained the nicknames of criminals and a photograph was made of an employee
holding a number of these cards and calling off several of the names appearing
92 thereon, which were recorded on the microphone.:-..- _.-»-4... _. -._,..¢.,,_,___;-_5 :

" Mr. Brown was also interested in obtaining some photographs ofQ the confiscated guns on exhibit in your reception room and he was informed
that it would be necessary for him to take this matter up with you for the
purpose of obtaining permission.
With respect to including the photographs of AlfCapone and "Baby_ Face"§§§lson, I told Mr. Brown, in accordance with your instructions, that
' it wo be necessary for him to obtain permission from Mr. Carusi before
these photographs could be obtained and he stated that it would be preferable
for them not to be included in the news reel.

During the first nix loathe of 1934, the Divilidn of
Investigation ezained 173,768 arreot records, as evidelced
by fingerprint cards received from lbw enforceuent agencies
throughout the country. The records examined did not include
fingerprint records representing commitments to jails or penal
institutioae or prints representing arrests for violations of
Federrl Leos.
is h L h*ou trur caring c pest two y-r"s, the number
of individuale arrested who were l9 years of age was greater
than the umber for any other single age group. Females con-
stituted 11,971, or 6.9 percent, of the 173,768 arrest recor.a

In 61,347, or 35.3 percent, of the cases the individuls
involved already had fingerprint records on file. In 44,32?
cases the records showed previous convictions. Further-study _
of the crime histories of the individuals involved disclosed
that in 1611 cases the individuals were on parole at the time
they were currently arrested. In addition, there were 3,933
cases in which although there was no affiraetive shoring th t
tee individuels had been paroled, the curreat arrests were made
Within the period of prior unexpired sentences. This makes e
total of 5,544 instances in which the current errata were ode
Ihile the individuals were on parole, or for aoe reason whre at
liberty prior to the ezpiretin of previos oentences, and this
number constitutes 12.5 percent of the 44,329 previous convictions
disclosed by the records. The compilation shows further that in
the majority of the 5,544 instances, the individuals were pre-
viously convicted of major offenses and were currently charged

ms Division or INVESTIGATION
~ The Division of Investigation has the responsibility of
investigating offenses against the laws of the United States and
collecting evidence in cases in which the United States is or may
be a party, and possesses primary investigative Jurisdiction of
those offenses against the laws of the United States not specifi-
cally assigned by Congressional enactment to other Governmental
agencies for investigation.
This Division does not investigate violations of the
Narcotic Laws, Smuggling, Counterfeiting, Imigration Laws, and
certain other miscellaneous statutes.
Among the most generally known violations investigated
by the Division of Investigation are the following:
Bankruptcy Act; Antitrust Laws; National Bank and
Federal Reserve Acts; Crimes on the High Seas and
on Indian and Government Reservations; Frauds Against
the Government; Impersonation; Peonage; Theft of
Government Property; Bribery of Government Officers;
Espionage; Escaped Federal Prisoners; Killing or
Assaulting Federal Officers; Robbery of National Banks

or Member Banks of the Federal Reserve System; Crimes
in connection with Federal, Penal and Correctional In-
stitutions; Neutrality Laws; Perjury; Pardon, Parole
and Probation Matters; and certain violations involving
interstate or foreign transportation, including the
National Ebtor Vehicle Theft Act, known as the Dyer Act;
White Slave Traffic Act, known as the Mann Act; Kidnap-
ing; Extortion; The National Stolen Property Act; Flight
to Avoid Prosecution or Testifying in Certain Cases;
Federal Anti-Racketeering Statute; and Thefts from In-
terstate Shipments. In addition to the above criminal
statutes the Division is called upon to investigate a
large number of civil matters including the defense of
War Risk Insurance Suits.
Oranization
It requires a comprehensive organization to investigate
such a large number of important Federal crimes throughout the
United States, Hawaii, and Alaska. In order to perform its work
most expeditiously and economically, the Division has offices in
thirty cities located throughout the United States. Its investi-
gative activities are not limited by State boundary lines. A
Special Agent in Charge has charge of each of its respective
,_<,92-_

offices which covers a definite geographic area. As occasion re-
quires, the number of employees assigned to each office varies
with the amount of work to be performd. For instance, if the
nuber of cases in the territory covered by the Jacksonville,
Florida, Office is comparatively few, while the nuber of cases
covered by the New York Office is unusually large, employees may
be shifted from Jacksonville to the New York Office, or from
Portland to Philadelphia, or from New Orleans to San Francisco,
as the occasion demands.
That is, of course, a distinct advantage, and permits
thorough and prompt attention to be given every case referred to
the Division for investigative action to the end that all pertinent
evidence and facts may be collected and presented to the appropriate
United States Attorney in proper form for his opinion as to prosecu-
tion.
Personnel
The Division gives most careful consideration to the
selection and appointment of all its employees. Only duly quali-
fied graduates of recognized law schools, who are usually members
of the bar, or expert Accountants with practical experience, are
appointed as Special Agents. Applicants for appointment to in-
vestigative ositions must be between 25 and 35 years of age. UponP

their appointment, Special Agents are given intensive training .
courses at Washington, where they are required to master-all
phases of their work, including practical instruction in the use
of ell_types of firearms. Special Agents in Charge of the field
offices of the Division are in turn selected from those employees
who have preven themselves to be possessed of investigative, ad-
ministrative, and executive ability of the highest order. All
employees are required to render appropriate assistance to law
enforcement officials at all times and to strictly observe the
rights of all persons with whom they come in contact. The Division
as a result of the high standard maintained by its employees, is
enabled to attract to its ranks individuals of integrity and ability.
' accomplishments
Statistics at best are rather dry, but offer the most
concise method of outlining the achievements of the Division. Con-
victions were secured in 95.81% of all cases investigated by the
Division which were brought to trial during the fiscal year 1934.
During the same fiscal year 5,531 convictions - that is,
an average of almost 10 convictions for each day in the year - were
obtained in cases investigated by the Division.
The sentences imposed in these cases included ll life
sentences and totaled over 5,075 years, exclusive of probationary
sentences, totaling 2,501 years, and suspended sentences of 1,012
years. The fines imposed during the same year totaled tv'zz,<ase.'2s.

The total value of rccoverics effected in cases wherein
employees of the Division performed investigative work amounted to
$1,116,619.28. In addition to these recoveries the sum of $261,672.26
was saved the Government in Court of Claims cases in which investi-
gations were conducted by the Division.
In 1,659 War Risk Insurance cases investigated by the Di-
vision during the fiscal yoar 1954, a total savings of $l7,89O,768.15
to the United States was effected.
During the same fiscal year 928 Federal fugitives from
justice were located - an average of between 2 and 8 Federal fugi-
tives located per day. In addition, the Identification Unit of
the Division assisted various law-enforcement officials throughout
the United States in identifying 4,356 fugitives during the same
year. Stolen motor vehicles nubering 2,362 and valued at $910,024.25
were recovered in cases in which the Division perfonmed investigative
work for the fiscal year 1954. Since the enactment of the National
Motor Vehicle Theft Act, or to give its commonly accepted name, the
Dyer Act, in October, 1919, until June 50, 1954, 36,695 stolen
motor vehicles valued at $25,827,l67.?5 have been recovered in cases
in which the Division performed investigative work.
Identification Unit
The Identification Unit of the Division of Investigation
is maintained at Washington, D. C., and was established on July l,

1924, to operate as a national clearing house of identification
data. At the date of its inception, it began with approximately
800,000 fingerprint records which had comprised the collections of
the bureau maintained at the United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth
Kansas, and of the National Bureau of Criminal Identification,,Wash-
ington, D. C., which had been operated by the International Associ-
ation of Chiefs of Police.
Since its establishment in 1924, the Identification Unit
of the Division of Investigation has had a phenomenal growth. Dur-
ing the fiscal year of 1954 alone, it received 558,241 criminal
fingerprint cards in addition to applicant and civil records.
On July l, 1954, there were 4,572,619 fingerprint records
on file, representing the largest and most complete collection of
criminal fingerprint records of current value existing anywhere in
the world. This Unit new receives crhninal identification data from
6,774 contributors in the United States and foreign countries, and
receives more

subjects of over 46% of all the prints received are
having prior criminal records. By means of posting
notices of wanted persons in this Unit, the Division at present
identifies an average of 363 fugitives each month, immediately

notifying the proper officials so that these fugitives may be taken
into custody. This entire service is furnished free of cost and is
maintained solely for the convenience and use of regularly consti-
tuted law-enforcement officials and agencies. These data are not.
made available for private purposes. At the present time the
Identification Unit of the Division exchanges fingerprint records
with 60 foreign countries to help cope with the operations of inter-
national confidence men, swindlers and gangsters.
'fFugitives Fagted by Police" Bulletins
As an aid to law enforcement agencies in their war upon
crime and criminals, the Division publishes a "Fugitives Wanted by
Police" Bulletin monthly, in which are listed the names, aliases,
descriptions, and fingerprint classifications of wanted fugitives,
together with the names and addresses of law-enforcement officials
and agencies to be notified when the fugitives are located. These
bulletins are distributed each month by the Division to the 6,774
law-enforcement officials and agencies who forward fingerprints
for the Division's files.
"2Crime Statistics
By Act of Congress, approved June ll, 1930, the Division
of Investigation was authorized to collect and compile criminal
statistics. During the calendar year 1935, reports were received
from 1658 police departments throughout the United States, repre-

senting a population area of 62,357,262 persons. A bulletin con-
taining a digest of figures on crime statistics throughout the
entire country is issued quarterly by the Division.
Single Fingerprint Files
As an adjunct to its main fingerprint files, wherein im-
pressions are classified through the use of all fingers considered
as a unit, the Division conducts a single fingerprint file wherein
individual impressions of known gangsters, bank robgrs, kidnapers
and extortionists are classified and filed separately, to be sus-
ceptible of ready comparison with latent prints found at the scenes
of crimes. In this manner the fingerprints of over 6,066 of such
criminals have been so segregated in this special file. A detailed
description of each of these criminals is also maintained, cross
indexed on cards operated by a sorting machine system. Individual
photographs further supplement this valuable adjunct to the Identi-
fication Unit.

The Division also maintainsxat Washington a Technical
Laboratory for the study of questioned documents involving analyses
of handwriting, typewriting, erasures, paper texture, et cetera,
as well as matters arising within the sciences of ballistics,
microphotography, and forensic chemistry. To this laboratory is

forwarded evidence found during investigations, which requires
examination by experts and through their reports many new leads
are furnished the investigating agents in the field. When necessary
the scientific findings of the experts are presented to the courts
at which time detailed charts and enlarged photographs are prepared
substantiating the conclusion reached.

Collections of standard specimens of typewriting from
various models of machines; blue prints of the designs of tire
treads; and sample bullets, shells and other ammunition of the
different manufacturers, are filed in the laboratory for ready
reference purposes, enabling quick identification of specimens sub-
mitted during the course of investigations.

mom JANUARY 1 tro JUNE so, 1954.
During the first six months of 1954 the Division of Investigation
examined 173,768 arrest records, as evidenced by fingerprint cards re-
ceived from law enforcement agencies throughout the country. The records
examined did not include prints representing commitments to jails or pen- I
al institutions or prints representing arrests for violations of Federal
Laws 0
As has been true during the past two years, the number of individuals
arrested who were 19 years of ago was greater than the number for any other
single ago group. In the following instances serious charges were placed
against individuals 19 years of age:
Larcenytheft 1,510
Burglary-breaking or entering 1,268
Auto theft 585
Robbery 583
Assault 573
Weapons; carrying, possessing, etc.l29
Criminal homicide 100
Total 4 , 548
It will be observed that the above figures constitute more than one-half of
the arrests of 19-year-old individuals.
Females constituted 11,971 .9%! of the 175,768 arrest records examined.
In 61,347 5.5%! cases the individuals involved already had fingerprint
records on file in the Identification Unit of the Division of Investigation.
Six of each ten charged with violation of the narcotic drug laws had previous
fingerprint cards on file and four of each ten charged with robbery, embezzlement,
fraud, forgery or counterfeiting had similar prior records.

In addition to the 61,547 instances in which th individuals represented
had previous fingerprint cards in the files of the Division, there were 5,899
cases in which the current records bore notations indicating previous criminal
histories of the persons concerned, making a total of 65,246 instances in
-
which there were data regarding previous criminal activities of the individuals
represented. In 44,529 of these cases 7.9%! the records showed previous
convictions. Convictions for serious offenses were revealed as follows:
Criminal hoicide 522
Robbery 2,395Assault 2,158
Burglary-breaking or entering 6,090
Larceny - theft 9,297
Auto theft 1,856
Ehabezzlement and fraud -1,427
Forgery and counterfeiting 1,644
Narcotic drug laws 1,259
Weapons; carrying, possessing, etc. 657
Total 27,265
It will be observed that the 27,265 previous convictions for major offenses
constitute 61.5% of the total prior convictions disclosed by the records.
Further study of the criminal histories of the individuals involved
disclosed that in 1,611 cases the individuals were on parole at the time they
were currently arrested. In addition, there were 3,955 cases in which although
there was no affirmative showing that the individuals had been paroled, the cur-
rent arrests were made within the period of prior unexpired sentences. This
makes a total of 5,544 instances in which the current arrests were made while
the individuals were on parole or for som reason were at liberty prior to the
expiration of previous sentences; and this number constitutes 12.5% of the
44,529 previous convictions disclosed by the records. The compilation shows
further that in the majority of the 5,544 instances the individuals were pre-
viously convicted of major offenses and were currently charged with serious .
crimes.

Whites were represented by 125,581 of the arrest records examined during
the first six months of 1934, and Negroes by 59,915. The remaining races were
represented as follows:
Indian 689
Chinese 608
Japanese 118
Mexican 5,597
All others 1,262
For comparative purposes it is believed best to present the figures in
terms of the number of such individuals in the general population of the ¢
country. Expressed in terms of the nmiber per 100,000, foreign-born whites
arrested numbered 104.0, native whites 164.7 and Negroes 495.4. It should be
observed in this connection that the figure representing native whites in-
cludes the imedinte descendants of foreignborn individuals. The compila-
tion showing the proportion of each of the above three race groups charged
with individual offenses discloses that for homicide, assault and carrying
concealed weapons the number of foreign-born individuals exceeds the number
of native whites, whereas the number of Negroes exceeds both classes of whites
by a large margin. -
The tabulation of data from fingerprint records obviously does not include
all persons arrested, since there are individuals taken into custody for whom
no fingerprint cards are forwarded to Washington. Furthermore, data pertain-
ing to persons arrested should not be treated as information regarding the
number of offenses committed, since two or more persons may be involved in the
joint comission of a single offense, and on the other hand, one person may be
arrested and charged with the commission of several separate offenses. At the
end of June there were 4,572,619 fingerprint records and 5,501,084 index cards
containing names or aliases of individuals with records on file in the Divi-

sion of Investigation at Washington. Of each 100 fingerprint cards received
during the first six months of 1954, more than 46 were identified with data
in the files of the Division. During the same period, 2,164 fugitives from
justice were identified through fingerprint records and information as to
the whereabouts of those fugitives was immediately transmitted to the law
enforcement officers or agencies desiring to apprehend them.
The number of police departments, peace officers and law enforcement
agencies throughout the United States and foreign countries voluntarily
contributing fingernrints to the Division at the end of Juno totaled

MEMORANDM FOR MR. TOLSON
Special Agent B. E. Sackett informed me this
morning that all co ications and releases should besent. to Mr. Brthurlhrisbane at the following address:
210 South Street, '
r
, New York, New York.
92 - T - .
92~" E Mr. backett stated that it was entirely probable
due to the large number of coxmnmications and various kinds
of data received by Hr. Brisbane, that such material sent
to him care of King; Features Syndicate, 255 East 45th Street,
New York City, might never reach him.
In view of this fact Mr. Brisbane's address has
been changed to that sug;ested by Hr. Sackett, as set out
above, and Mr. Harbo has been requested to change his address
-_ accordingly.
e This change of address will also be made upon the
address list maintained in the Director's office. ' -

iim¢1s1ying* cause" it
i "We are determined to continue u campaign and get at the
UNDERLYING CAUSES of crime. THE foregoing sentence was uttered by Homer S. Cum-mings, Attorney General of the United States. __
. It was prompted by the arrest in Chicago of a lawyer, a
former prosecutor, who is accused by Federal investigators of
harboring the Dillinger gang, even to the extent of providing
office seclusion in which robberies were planned! _ .
' i A grand jury has been impaneled to examine the substance
92.'Y , of the charge. Pending court action, comment on the case in _-""" 1! question would be out of place. ' . '
Right now the important fact about the Attorney Gen-~ ex-als declaration is that it evidently puts the Federal Gov-
ernment definitely into action against the notorious alliances .of CRIMINALS and CRIMINAL LAWYERS and GRAFT-T
ING LOCAL POLITICIANS which are and have been among E
the chief underlying causes of our era of violent crime
and racketeering.
As the Attorney General further phrases the purposes: We will seize those who PROFIT BY CRIME without tak- ~
g any risks._ -.
92* so FAR as it goes-'ami niay it go far. indeed !-the --.92 l Iliederal camnaicn meets a demand for law enforcement .! ~ BY LAW ENFORCEMEIW OFFICIALS which the Hearst ll_ t newspapers have been making insistently for months and;" E years. Y
As the public very well knows, public officials everywhere ' have been prone to offer excuses for NOT ENFORCING the "
' law, instead of ENFOTRCING IT. - frCrime conditions, we were told by men high in official life, }l were due to the indifference of the American people. i" Gangsters and blackmailcrs could not be prosecuted because- terrorized witnesses would not testify.In a signed editorial published on September 2, 193-1, Wil- ,
liam Randolph Hearst pointed out plainly the speciousness of
these pleas. Mr. Hearst wrote: 1 Existing criminal conditions are NOT due toJh:..'inif- 1__ ferenoe of the American people. They are due to the ineffi- ;
cicney of American government. _ _p____~ t1"

In this connection a phase of the Attorney. Genera1s cam-
aign'.4s1U're a series of crime conferences Wa_§_ll'!!!!0l iniecember, -in order to gain the confidence slid cooperation"
of the public in the lwar on crime. Mr. Cummings explained:
The hearings will be open to the public. To the hearings
we-shall invite heads of metropolitan police departments, uni-
versity men interested in criminology, heads of all ;Gov_orn'-
ment agencies dealing with crime and all others who wethinkcsnaid. _ * ~ "
There-can be no quarrel with this idea, so long as the Gov-
ernments campaign does not BREAK DOWN into s series of
mere conferences. For conferences are not necessary to
arouse the public. As Mr. Hearst said in his -editorial:
The American public is SUFFLOIENTLY AROUSED over
the criminal situation . . . There is NOW a strong public senti-
ment for the enforcement of law. There is now s strong pub-
lic sentiment over THE FAILURE OE GOVERNMENT T0
Usive law enforcement efforts on a nation-wide scale will
be constructive action.
But the Federal Government must continue in the role of
leadership, and the Federal Government is ON THE RIGHT
TRACK in running down not only criminals lint the re-
spectable allies of criminals.
Very lately the bar associations have shown some disposi-
tion to aid in ridding the legal profession of lawyer~criminals.
The Government should hold them to this duty.
And also, when ferreting out for the p11ni§hment the LAW-
YER FRIENDS of chronic crooks, let the Government not
overlook the other underlying cause of crime-the PREDA-
TORY LOCAL POLITICIANS, in office and outp-1'!t't!8ht
whose protection and connivance _few if any oi our criminalrackecswoui either }

YEAR§, crime of all kinds -has -been steadily ,
increasing in this country, until today its fright»ful prevalence in all parts of the nation has become
a problem and a menace of the first magnitude.
Temporarily, of course, the depression seemed a
more difficult problem. _ . _, ~

But crime will not pass awaycrime will con-tinue to spread itself and to poison "our whole
social and economic existence, becoming finally an
incurable and fatal disease -- unless somethingdrastic and unprecedented is done aboutit, '

the reouest of Jero J for materlal to be used in
connectlon with an ormal cam of thetearst news- Palgnpapers Mr Sudam stated that inasmuch as two articles
prepared by you have been turned over to Mr Victor Watson,
also of the Hearst organ1zation, he was somewhat reluctant
to approve submlttlng other artlcles to other representatlves
of the same organlzatlon due to the fact that they plan to
use the artlcles 1n syndlcated materlal for vubllcatiun 1n all
Hearst newspapers He stated he was golng to see a renresenta-
txve of the Hearst organlzation today, after whlch he would adv1se

Dear Mr. Hooveri
I have your lstteg oi December 29, 1934, concerning
severe cartoons appearing in the Hearst newspapers which were drawn byNelsonarding and which have for their theme "strengthening of the
Federal Secret Service".
Hr. Nelson Harding is on the stat! oi theew York Evening
Journal and not under the jurisdiction or Mr. Jerome 3' K pf, Managing
Editor of the New York American.
Several weeks ago I spoke with Mr. A Spiro, City Editor
of the ew York Evening Journal, and called this sit tion to his atten-
tion} He in turn took it up with the various edito al writers, and I
had oc asion to have a conference with him the other day, the substance
of which I related to you telephonically several evenings ago. On that
occasion, I again discussed with him, diplomatically, having the Division
properly designated in both cartoons and editorials appearing in his
paper. He told me that he is endeavoring to correct this situation and / Room 1403 ""-929 570 Lexington Avenue '-

Dear Frank:
You recall that some time ago Mr. Karpr or the Hearst papersin Row York canted in to write a statement or tn concerning crime.We have s new set-up at washingtm in connection with having publicityin the Departmnt. Now, no publicity can emanate from the Department mlessit is cleared through Mr. Henry Suydn, end, when we received word or whetIr. K-arpi desired, I submitted the nutter at cnce to Mr. Suydsn, but to datehave received no word from him as to whether Hr. Karp:f's request could becabins with. ~In the meanwhile, llr. Victor watsm or the Chicago Heraldand Examiner, another Hearst paper, made a similar request, and apparentlytook his request up through the iaashington representatives of the UniversalService, which is a Hearst news service. Mr. watsons request was approved,and I prepared two short articles which were sent on to Mr. Y-stem last weekby Mr. Suydan. I then recalled that I had not received any reply fromHr. Suydam concerning the request of Kr. Jerome I. Karpt, and so I took thematter up with Kr. Snydam again, pointing out that I did not wish to be putin a position or shoeing tavoritim to Mr. Victor ~atson mdfijjcrinination
against Kr. Karpt. Kr. Suydan than took the matter up with. Ir. Carroll.Assistantto Ir. Kenneth Clerk: of the Universal Service, and Mr. Carroll, Ibelieve, is cmmunicating with Kr. Knrpt in New York to ascertain more con-cerning the proposed articles which Hr. Karpf desired rrcn Is. My purposein writing you confidentially about this matter is because I fear thatIr. Karpt my gain the impression that I have either been disinclined to
comply with his request or vent over his head and took the matter up with
the Iashingtcn representative or the miversal Service. I did neither oithese things, and, frankly between you and myself. I think that the actimor Hr. Bnyda in this matter my prejudice our relationship with Hr. Earp!I can see no reason why llr. Kerps request could not have besnsaetdd upm'in exactlyjh some mennergee Mr. Victor Iatsonis request, but tor sane _unknon ilr. Suydan saw tit to filiow this procedure which my result,unless you on straighten the situation out in New York, in alienating afriend at the prose in New York City. I wish that you would handle this
intend» qjite delicately, but try to explain to Hr. Earp! that I have neonmilling all along to prepare the article which he desired Just as soon as
