poi� Warner Brothers Pictures came in"today. e stated some time next week they contemplate havinga print of the_Qictur§ based upon the Matthew Cvetic story

C>UIh@s A QQmmunist §bv for the FBI." He stated a final &#39;title had not been assigns 0 1S picture but this wouldprobably be done in the next few days, and he doubted thatthey would use the title above-mentioned. &#39;

_stated Warmer Brothers contemplates takingCvetic to the various cities where there are Hearst papersand getting the local Hearst papers to sponsor Cvetic alongwith American Legion Posts. He wondered if we had anyobjection to this. I told him frankly it was too late forthem to come to us for advice, they could do whatever theywished.

He then wondered if it would be possible for the ~Director to do a short recording pointing out the need for �citizens to report information to the FBI. I told him the lgDirector had spoken on this subject on numerous occasions ~but under no circumstances would the Director make a recording V�which would be utilized with the picture. He understood this [1and asked that I forget he asked. I told him that we . _ �**simply would not have any part in doing anything which would -~constitute an endorsement of this or any other picture. - r� F

Cvetic then talks about the fact he knows a Communist who .is the head of a water works in one of the largest California cities,that this Communist could poison the city&#39;s population in a matterof hours. This Communist is presently being protected but that "wewill get him in due time. _ &#39;

ITH sharp timeliness Warner Brothers Pictures malres available this weehto the theatres of the nation a hard luttmg sub|ect dealing with the4.. rnmumst conspiracy under the tntle, l Was a Communist tor the F B.l

The timeliness of thus picture is sharply emphasized against the current disclosuresof Commumstrc activities on the part oi some Hollywood people whncn have beenbrought out an the Un American Activities Committee hearings an Washington

These disclosures are inevitably disquieting to the American public which rightnow is 92l�92 no mood lightly to excuse the lund of Red penetrahon which toold placeIll Hollywood and about which too little indeed was done

-0- -0- <-

The one fatal danger to WlllCl�l the motion picture was exoosed was Red coloringof the picture itself As us now well lmown nothing of l�l&#39;llS land was allowed to talreplace There may have been some lacl of watchfulness about employee loyaltyI� the stuc|o�§ostered by ideological confusions WllICl&#39;l were quite general notonly with �he public but In government as well and by no means con�ned toHollywood But there was no lacl: oi watchfulness about what went on the screen

The a-ge ..se- |r-dustry is this time avendlng the sally adzentu es Lp>1 wh|.h ll�embarked at the l&#39;l"�lO ol the earlier probe at Hollywood by the UnArner|canActmtues Committee This time ll� is sensibly recognizing the nght and duty ofthe Congressional Committee to expose treason and is COOPOl�8l&#39;Ih§ accordingly

But the public opmlon impact of the disclosures, deallng with names which thepublic famnluarly associates with the screen, ls by no means good tor the motnonpicture business Hence the advent right now of the Warner Brothers picture isespecially fortunate and opportune

Under the generalshlp of Mr Jacl L Warner and with the spmted cooperationof Mr Bryan Foy there emerges l� _l Was a Qornnwumst §or_the__F.B.l. ya powertuland moving dramatic narrative. The industry in its higher purposes W hecessitieshas not been too fortunate in some ol the subjects dealing more or less directly�with the Communist conspiracy which have been previously released. It is for-tunate in this one.

The picture within the limitations oi a popular dramatic subiect is revealingand informative relative to some of the most poisonous aspects oi the Red intrigueas practiced in this country. But tor purposes of audience impact it is tar morethan that. It has a very real warmth and appeal, dealing centrally with the re-telling of the true story of e genuine national hero who made a great sacri�cein the nation&#39;s defense.

+- 0- 4- V

Audiences will be moved by such incidents es that of a father who so loved]&#39;|is country es to be willing to appear as e traitor in the eyes of his son and will.be thrilled by melodramatic �ashes of the hind which have long been representativeof the craftsmanship of Bryan Foy. 4The theatre men who is alert to the repercussions of the current Washington

revelations will in his owe immediate interest and in his solicitude tor the welfareof the industry at large see in this current Werner releese esigni�cant opportunity.Tho subject ought to be played enthusiastically-broadly across the nation and�l&#39;��uy&#39; ~ �M|r!in Quigley

Whhle the theme of this particular show has some merit, the ~script was poor and the ending was juvenile in its impact. "

The episode began with Cvetic traveling to Canada in thecompany of a Russian Secret Police Agent, Hr. Milhigh phonetic!.Cvetic had been furnished the name of one Hr. Ferguson by the FBI as fa confidential contact in Canada. .During the trip Milhigh, inresponse to a question by Cuetic, startled Cuetic by calling him anFBI Agent. He then made the remark that in the Russian SecretPolice work each Agent looked on everyone as a potential FBI Agent.

Upon arrival in Canada, Cvetic contacted Ferguson who told �him about an espionage case involving a leak of secret informationfrom the Owlshead Project, a joint Canadian-American guided missileproject. Ferguson exhibited pictures of Owlshead workers whom hesuspected andwfurther mentioned that hdlhigh might be the logicalRussian contact man in this case. .

While in Canada, Cuetic lived at the Communist Party Head-".quarters and taught classes in a Communist Party school. He wasintroduced as the Secretary of the Slav Congress in the United States.At the Party Headquarters he observed a young blond girl whom he sus-pected qf working for the Party. He discovered that this girl was asister of one Paul Verner, and he recognized Verner as one of the S isuspected workers at the Qwlshead Project. He subsequently ascer-tained that Verner had been coerced in some way into furnishing plantsecrets to the Party and that his sister was acting as his unwilling "vicourier. _ � _. /la,�

Memo to ur. Nichols July l, 1952

telling him that his sister had furnished a complete story qftheir activities.

Under the ruse of taking him to the Communist Party Head-quarters, Uvetic got Verner out of the latter&#39;s house. They werethen surprised by Ferguson and several Canadian policemen. Vernerbolted and, in an attempt to escape, jumped into a nearby canal.Cvetic pulled him out and Ferguson and the policemen took him into�custody. Verner then made a confession and it was anticipated thathe would testify against the Party.

Cvetic then proceeded to his Communist Party school andFerguson and the policemen prepared to raid the Communist PartyHeadquarters in order to recover the stolen documents and secretsfurnished to the Party by Verner.

Cvetic concluded the story withmgmgtatement that in hisp ez;L__gi c 1&#39; <=_..L jéh I"&#39;.1._&#39;I.�.m"""&#39; n _..;;é.1T.@z1§i i.t1o..,.r.¢.;éq9._&#39;i...&#39;i == ;.9..__.EI�� Ta ~ .L &#39;§7..:.2&#39;~e.:?s2I§s.9.r1 <1

The word safety has a multitude of meanings..on our

highways patrolled, to erect signs with the speed limit noted.. T"

state, there are no trials..but nonetheless, even in the Justice

Department we&#39;ve all known of a change in the procedure at times,

depending on the defendant ..who he is.. .

immediately of course the press and radio commentators, say tht .

that&#39;s politics..that it&#39;s just a condition that does exist.. .

but since we all know that it exists, why don&#39;t we do something .

about it..this involves the safety of our country. it doesn&#39;t I

matter whether the enemy be foreign or domestic..the individual &#39;

is still an enemy..and should be treated as such..

The first reaction from all of us who make up the electorate, is�

"well, just what can I do about it", and the answer is plenty.. __.

First you can write, wire or phone your congressman, and iienat-or

and for that matter the President ..have you any id ea what an- =~~- wee

impact twenty million telegrams would make -on &#39;a �resident. If

the Aansas City election fraud, the Presid ent would have received???�E

that many, you can wager there wouldn&#39;t have been any hushing up *

of that scandal..also when the Communis ts have been inve stigeted, �Y

and the "Red Herring" sign was put on these investigations, an &#39;

Iresident would go against even five million letters or telegra_ms�,{_&#39;. _ tn r I ,

he wouldn&#39;t have/rieght or the intestinal fortitude to do so.. &#39;

Remember the power you hold in your vote and a little message &#39;

with your signature on it..it has all the power..now, also, what - -

you can do about it..in the second place, let/&#39;s be a little more

realistic about electing our officials. .some of these men vho are ;.. _ M

running for office would allaow themtonrun your business that was

Put the mxestion in that light..this government of ours is your

business, and its worth a lot more than five million, of five

billion or five trillion. .the freedoms and liberties we enjoy have>

monetary values..by that we mean you just can&#39;t put a monetary

value on them..because if you don&#39;t have..as many people in the

world don&#39;t..no amount of money regardless of how large can get

them back. . . , , .own -

As your/ind ividual stake in this country..you have a billion dollars

who doesn&#39;t know how to run a b.1siness...the safety of our govern-.. &#39;.

ment is in the hands of the people we elect as our rnepresentativesg

and we must� know haw effective they are..how efficient they are , *_~j_;

we must know more about their morale fibre and their i.ntegrity.. _

the past few years have proven to all of us that we simply can&#39;t

ta ke in anybody for officials in our government. .

l�lease..we beg of you all..anyone who has reached the legal .

voting age..become informed before you vote..don&#39;t go to your

appoint ed polling place and mark an "X" indiscriminat-.ely&#39;..y0u

so you know for whom and for what you -are �otingnthe safety of &#39;A

¬- New B-iappens to be my faznily name and is of nurcn origin &#39;many hundreds of years old. We have had the etymology oi� the word- ttraced as far back as possible and are informed it is a DUTCH familyname o£"a.ncient origin and has no established meaning,&#39;except as "raped"by certain American Cartoonists and commentators and used in slang form"

The word was first used by a "crack=;:brained"_ cartoonist in theearly 30&#39;s who thot he had invented a new word. At first it appeared asonly redicu1ous,but of late has become seriously annoying - havingnitwits call us at 3 P.M. and wise cracking. How would you feel,wereyou in our place?

The narrator stated that all names and places were fictitiousbut as you can see the name is very much real.

Will you lclndly see that all future radio or T.V. programsusing F.B.I. material,delete the name- from it&#39;_s identification ofcharacters. We have no objection to the name -be:Lng used providedit is identified in it&#39;s true character.

Thankzing you in advance for any courtesies extended, Iam

"andy. _S

� Provo, Utah, was overheard describing feature programs for the coming weand in calling attention _Atgq-{the above program he made a statement to the geffect that the� program was based on material from the official files of the ~92� FBI. A I

SA �on my instructions contacted the Manager &#39; 9 _R 3 �on KOVO and ascertained that the announcer on that occasion was

who advised that he might have made a statement to the 4 "�:I92_a&#39;.;�effect that the program was based on material from� the files of the FBI; that 9__,_&#39;he knew the program was not actually based on FBI files and that any misstate- �ment was made through carelessness. He advised -that he regretted the mis- -statement that he had made and in the future would do no "ad libbing" concerning Ithis program but would use records or disks furnished by the producers of theprogram. He stated that while in the U. S. Marine Corps during World War IIhe had spent many months at Quantico and had -a great respect for the FBI andwould not intentionally make any. incorrect statement concerning the Bureau.

_ KOVO, advised that he had instructedmot to do any _further_ "ad libbing" concerning the program.

From the way the announcement was made there could be no questionbut that anyone hearing it would receive the definite impression that theprogram wa repared from the official files of the Bureau. I do not believethat�qiil repeat the mistake, and it is indicated that it was a -careless mistake. I do not believe any further action should be taken inthe matter, and no further action will be taken by this office.
