This investigation of the Nazi movement, conducted along the specified guidelines set by the President, was not .expanded to include investigation of such communist or radical movements whose purpose it was to overthrow the Government.. In-a memorandum dated October 9, 1935, for the Acting Attorney General, the Director noted in his response to a State Department inquiry as to the feasibility of exchanging radi- .cal information with foreign police sources: "At the present time the investigative activity of this Bureau is restricted, in matters of this kind (communist and radical matters) to those activities which constitute a violation of some Federal statute. "Very little information is obtained by this Bureau relating to the activities of thesé radical organizations, which advocate the over- throw of the United States Government. It _.. follows, of course, that information of this ** kind is of no value when existing laws do not permit a prosecution of ‘the persons engaged in advocating the overthrow of the Government. I'.will, however, be glad to receive at any time, information from any foreign police department, which pertains to organizations established for the purpose of attempting to overthrow this Government, and will in the event the Bureau can take no action upon the information furnished transmit the information to those Governmental agencies who may be interested in the material obtained." On August 24, 1936, Director Hoover, representing the Department in the Attorney General's absence, was summoned to The White House by President Roosevelt. As reflected. in two memoranda by Mr. Hoover, dated August 24 and August 25, 1936, the President "was desirous of discussing the question of the subversive activities in the United States, particularly Fascism and Communism." Hoover recorded that the President stated he had been concerned about the communist and fascist movements and "what he was interested in was obtaining a broad picture of the general movement and its activities as may affect the economic and political life of the country as a whole. _4- HWOSS079 PDoold: 32969536 Page i74
- : ‘, ° ~ ~ s nearest office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation any data, information, or material that may come to their notice bearing directly or indirectly on espionage, -counterespionage, or sabotage.” The overall problem was not, however, totally resolved with the Directive of June 26, 1939. Reports were frequently received in Washington indicating that various local police authorities were forming "sabotage squads" and the like and, therefore, further clarification was deemed necessary. The Department and FBI again \ went to the President to resolve the question. At 6:20 p.m. on September 6, 1939, the Attorney General reached Mr. E. A. Tamm, Assistant Director, and advised him as is reflected in Mr. Tamm's memorandum dated September 6, 1939. "The Attorney General called and stated that the President issued the order today. He stated it reads, in part, as follows: "President Roosevelt today requested all local law enforcement officers to cooperate with the FBI in the drive against espionage, sabotage, subversive activities, and violation of the neutrality laws. Mr. Roosevelt issued a formal statement requesting all police officers, sheriffs, and other law enforcement officers to transmit to the G-Men all infor- mation’ bearing on such cases. This task must be conducted in a comprehensive and effective manner on a national basis and all information must be carefully sifted out and co-related in order to avoid confusion and irresponsibility. To this end I request all police officers, sheriffs, and all other law enforcement officers in the United States promptly to turn over to the nearest represent- ative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation any information obtained by them relating to espionage, counter-espionage, sabotage, sub- versive activities, and violation of the neutrality laws." -~ 10 - MW 55079 Doocld: 32959536 Page 150

~ ; . ) _ ttire w DBD. ifire of the Attorney General Washington, A.C. 20530 November 10, 1975 Honorable Richard S$. Schweiker United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senator Schweiker: At the hearing before the Select Committee on Intelligence Activities, you asked me to comment on a specific provision from the FBI Manual of Rules and Regulations. As I told you at the hearing, through some misunderstanding, I had not seen that. provision until almost immediately before the afternoon session of the Committee began and indeed while I was at the witness table. I did not have an opportunity to check the specific provision or to know about its origin. My statement that I was sure it did not represent present policy represented ‘my firm belief. I note that according to the press reports that a Bureau spokesman later in the day informed a reporter that the statement is still in the manual and that it does represent Bureau policy. I am writing this letter to you, with a copy to Senator Church, because I would not wish to mislead the Select Committee in any way. I do believe, however, some further explanation is in order. First, the Bureau informs me that the provision has not been interpreted to mean that an investiga- tion should not take place and that "any interpretation that an investigation would not be instituted because of the possibility of embarrassment to the Bureau was never intended and, in fact, has never been the policy of this Bureau." I am told that "what was intended to be conveyed was that in such eventuality FBI Headquarters desired to be advised of the matter before investigation is instituted so that Headquarters would ibe on notice and could direct the inquiry, if necessary.

Second, the manual provision dates back to March 30, 1955. Third, I am informed by the Bureau that "immediate steps are being taken to remove that phraseology from our Manual of Rules and Regulations." Sincerely, . Edward H: Levi ec: Senator Church Nw 35079 Doold: 32999536 Page i167

While one sheet was. normally developed at a time, training was also given in developing two sheets at a time, and subject thought that it might be possible to do even more, but he thought this would be very difficult, He said that. when two sheets were going to be developed at the same time you doubled the amount of alcchol (eight ounces) and used a total of six pills, The mixing was done exactly the same, Thereafter, you separate the two sheets to be developed by placing a pencil or some other hard object of a similar size between the edges of the sheets, grasping them securely and then inserting them in the solution and sifting as previously described. He said that sometimes the sides of the sheets facing each other did not receive an even amount of the solution and this resulted in an uneven development, He said that there was also a way to prevent too rapid development of the writing and he said this was done by taking a drink of water, holding it in your mouth, and spraying lightly on the paper, He said this was probably desirable if you tried to develop two sheets at the same time. Subject stated that in practicing the secret writing and develop- ing the secret writing he used the same paper and developers that he was subsequently provided with (except for the alcohol) and he is therefore certain that his secret writing can be developed with the chemicals furnished him, He said he did not, however, develop any of his own writing after he came to the United States, ag small metal sp66n, and he stated that -he used these . ~ e t en Subject had atvhis room ‘two shot. glassés..and--—-—-— --—_——--- pen ee ee Remini ne awe tone!

He said that for a container for the solution he used a large dust pan, which he cleaned thoroughly and then tilted slightly by placing the lip of an ashtray or similar object. and thereby forming a basin, He said anything of this nature could be used and it could be tin, metal, or glass, Instruction in Use of Camera Subject advised that he was instructed in the use of a camera. He stated that he had a good working knowledge of the operations of the camera and that this phase of the instruction extended over a very short period, possibly one or two days. He advised that he was not instructed in the method of preparing mikrats or microdots. He stated that he was instructed in the technique of reading mikrats with the use of the camera. He advised that although he had had the instruction, he was never able to read a mikrat by this means. He advised that he was instructed by SCHILLER that -the best way to read the mikrat was with the use of a microe scope, but that in emergencies if no microscope were | available he could read the mikrat with the aid of the camera in the following method: The mikrat was to be . placed on a piece of glass or transparent paper, such " as cellophane. Underneath the mikrat a light source was to be placed, The lens of the camera was to be opened to its widest capacity and the rear of the camera was to be removed, The camera was then to be held at the proper distance from the mikrat and by the use of the eamera lens the mikrat would be sufficiently magnified to enable it to be read, He stated that the distance “som the mikrat-depended uponythe strength of the Téns “ofthe camer:., ——and_that- it could: only be done by trial.

SECRET NY 65-18217 ~ Training in the Use of Cipher In the last two weeks of instruction, SCHILLER gave subject the following instructions in the use of ciphers which was to be used in his communications with his superior. The secret writing processes which he had learned enabled him to send hidden messages. These messages, for further security, were to be inciphered when mention was made of sensitive subjects, which would include names, addresses, and so forth. ; a With regard to the above usage, the subject was provided with a combination code book and cipher pad. He stated that he believed he could determine the size of this book because it had left an imprint in his wallet where he had carried it. He viewed his wallet but could not ascertain the imprint. From memory, after looking at his wallet, he stated that its approximate size was 3" x 24" x 3/8". He described this book as follows: It opened like a book rather than a pad. The outside of the book was a greyishegreen plastic type cover. The cover itself had no writing on the outside of it. He did not recall how the paper was bound to the cover, but stated that it must have been glued because the individual sheets came out very easily. He descirbed the sheets of this book as very thin paper. The color of these pages have the same color as parchment paper and he stated that this color would most approximate ivory. He stated that the pages were divided into two sections, the first half of the book being the ciphers for receiving and the second half being the ciphers for sending. The color of the pages for both halves of the book was identical and they were distinguished by a different color on the-edges of the pages; however, he could not recall the color utilized . on the edges of the papers, He merely rememberei that they te peeeertcaenee mn gerne ta et . wae wee ee) ee tee oe bk meme me tei etd cadgeeeee ~29— 7 SECRET NW 35080 Doold: 32989537 Page 35
