Others present at the meeting took issue withSchary's proposal on the basis that everyone knew that Hollywood was badlyinfiltrated and it did not make an difference whether certain persons wereactual members of the Communist Party or not-one was just as dangerous asthe other and should be cleaned out of the industry.

My dear Mr. Hoover: ' 4;125:?Q¢ ¢§éjQ2;2§Z£z7A hrge aggregationof people are puzzled about something, which hasbeen recently called to the pub1ic's attention through an articlein the August edition of the "American Mercury" magazine. This articlepertains to gangsters in the night clubs and other media of entertain-
� ment'and it specifically mentions Frank Sinatra as having aided gang-sters and narcotic traders. .It also mentions that you T~men werepresent in Havana when Sinatra made the plane trip with the Fischettibrothers, and that he carried the suitcase supposedly containing the
- money for Luciano. From the article, the data for which was takenfran the Treasury Department records, you will rind that Sinatra is
- the close friend of Moretti, the Fischettis, Capone, Adonis cousinto Mcretti, and Luciano. There is much campaigning on the part or theGovernment, the press, and the radio, all of whom have been carryingextensive articles and programs in an effort to rid the country of thisdemoralizing situation, drug addiction, particularly among the youth ofthe nation. Sinatra is supposedly the symbol of the underprivileged
Outh Of America. That is the saddest mistake ever. He is synonymousYh thin undesirable and from which vouth should be protected andwit every 3 b
I hope you will concur that he is not the type of personality to have* 1 c hi at-in theentertainment field and before the youngsters who emu a e s p
tern and feel it's perfectly all right to achieve a success that way.People now feel that Sinatra should be forced to withdraw from the amuse-

Why isSinatra pennitted to continue when he is a friend of these very criminWhat we would like to know right now is why was not Sinatra picked upin Havana when he arrived with the Fischettis? The T-men mere on thescene for the express purpose or meeting that plane inasmuch as theyhad information with regard to the trip, Suppose through lack of evi-dence your men were not able to arrest Sinatra, but don t you arrest sus-pects, more particularly in such a serious matter? It is s k��w� factthat entertainers are'hsed" for such purposes, but when a particular

Y rka letter from the SAC, New 0 ,above-captioned matter in whiche Doyle, former Bureau Agent,
received from Henry Jaffe, attorneyfor Frank Sinatra. Allegedly, Sinatra and/or Jajfe went toWashington to talk to the Army to determine why clearance was deniedto Sinatra, who had been booked to go to Korea for Christmas as partof a USO entertainment group, and allegedly the Army advised that ithad information from the FBI which prompted the Army to denyclearance to Sinatra. This information referred to allegedly wasthat Lee Mortimer in a newspaper column stated that Sinatra was aCommunist; that this information allegedly came from Bureau files.
Reference is made to
the Bureau was advised by Jere
concerning information he had
The Director noted "Nail this down promptly. H.�
Colo r , Chief of Security, 3-2, furnishedAqent a copy of a memorandum prepared by
d' ant General,Marnane, _xecu fficer to the A Juting the conference which Sinatra had with the Army in theof the Adjutant General on Septemher 16, 1954, and for whichMarnane prepared the minutes. In essence, this memorandum .
� b ad 'sedthat, pursuant to a request by Frank éinatra to e vihad been denied clearance, an appointment had been made forappear in the office of yajor General John A. Klein, thet General, on September 16, 1954. Present besides the Adjutantwere Major General John CL Hudgett, Chief of-information; mid
former Brigadier General Alfred Kastner, formerly-Qeputy AssistantChief of Staff, G-2. At the outset of the conference, General Kleinpeked,General Kastner to outline for yr. Sinatra the basis upon whichyrl sweetie}: request for clearance had been denied» General Kastner igwplained that over a period of years many items had appeared in thep�bjidipreas, including the "Daily Worker,� and kindred publications,-whibh�reflected adversely on Mr. Sinatra'and which, to a considerabledegreeyeddentified Sinatra with the-Communist Party line and, as aghgresult, is serious evidence as to Mr. Sinatra's sympathies wit errespect to Communism, Communists, and fellow travelers. _ _ébaz-;;,.s .21? * 3JFS/SHRMPFI: Mm 92 REY� 6 Q-,, I

General Klein advised Sinatra that, in view of such
evidence, the Army could not grant clearance to any individualabout wh m the slightest doubt existed.
J Sinatra then went on to state that he hated Communism,had never been a member of a Communist organization, had n0contact with Communists or Communist organizations, and theirresponsible accusations made against him had been so absurdthat he had not refuted them. He went on to relate that he waseager to provide entertainment for the troops anywhere in the_For East, Europe or the Continental imited states. He furtherstated that he would carry this matter to the Attorney Generalin order to clear his name, and he would engage counsel torepresent him.
General Mudgett then informed Sinatra that, from anentirely impersonal point of view, circumstances being as theywere, the Army could not risk at this time giving a clearance toSinatra.
' Colonel Marnane advised�that he was at theconference and prepared the minutes of same. He stated that theofficers mentioned above were present also, General Kastnerrepresenting G-2_for aeneral Arthur G. Trudeau. He advised thatGeneral Kastner, other than the statements attributed to GeneralKlein and General Mudgett, carried the entire conversation for theArmy. General Kastner restricted his comments concerning Sinatra'sCommunist connections in their entirety to newspaper clippings, andat no time did he ever mention files of the FBI or any otherorganization. As a matter oj5�ct, Colonel yarnane stated thatthe G�2 file prepared for this conference merely consisted ofnewspaper clippings, and it was agreed that if Sinatra pressedG-2 for the source of their information, General Kastner was goingto present the file to Sinatra so that he could read it.
Colonel Marnane advised that the name Jaffe is unknownto him but advised that Sinatra was accompanied_to Senerql Klein�soffice by an individual, whose name he couldtnot recall, who wasintroduced to him as an agent of some sort. This individualremained in the outer office during the conference.
r Bureau files reflect that in answer to a name check requestfrom the U. S. Air Force OSI! a summary of information concerningSinatra was furnished to that Agency on January 22, 1952, and a "Photcstat of the summary was furnished C-2 on February 19, 1952.This summary advised that no investigation had been conductedconcerning Sinatra.

� 92the William Morris gency has been in touch with him since Murphyq; Kr
as played an active role in recent years in sending troops of actors ; _/� ..to the "various parts of the world where members of the armed services _§' ' 11 --/gare congregated. Murphy has been handling such assignmentsat one time was President of the Screen Actors Guild.
Lastvogel told Murphy that some weeks ago Frank Si/r?2tra%�92¢ fr?indicatedvolutiteered to go to Korea but the Army turned him down and
there was something against him in the Department of Justiceas best as he, Lastvogel, could determine, it was based upon
writt n by Westbrook Pegler to the effect that Sinatra went to
SIHCC 8
and thata column
Cuba to see
'l..uc1§_§;§<uciano. Murphy stated that the top .military people, according toLastvogel, had told Sinatra nothing could be done as long as this was beingheld up in the FBI and the Department of Justice. Murphy further statedhe had a. call in for the Attorney General.
H I told Murphy hedid not have the complete report; that thematter of determining what actors were to visit the various theaters was one
f E t b1' hment and the various branchesfor the determination of the De ense s a is
of the armed services. I further told him we had heard rumbles of this
previouésqlly and it was our understanding the Army had taken the action which- . . .£the took based upon their own records. I» told Murphy it seemei to me 1Y.
