The judge has not rendered a decision and it has been continually ‘postponed. a | think that the Chicago Office was justified under. the circumstances | in retaining the film because it could have been ordered returned | at any’ time and we would have had to produce it. I am also aware. of the ‘possible.

At this point, I feel that the Bureau should have, been advised that we were retaining the film and informed of the contemplated action by the Chicago Office. This. matter will be © followed closely and the Bureau will be advised of. our. “Possession of this fil au the: pending action.
