They previously resided at 6 Peter Cooper Road in New York City and had been living there for five years. I have never heard of anything derogatory to the reputation of Professor Redlich as far as his personal reputation in life is concerned. I have met him in my office and most of my dealings are of a business nature. I mist say that I do not like to see him come in because it usually involves some kind of unpleasant hassling. At one time, when hts lease expired, he came in for a new lease and I explained that he could have one for an increase of six per cent in rent. I am sure that he understood and agreed to this. However, a few days later, he returned with the contract and stated that he had believed that I said it would be a six per cent reducation and not an increase. I just could not believe that he mis~understood any such thing. I mst admit that I rather per~ sonally dislike him because of what I consider to be a very wnprofessional manner he assumes when he comes in her to deal in business matters. I consider him to be a rather difficult tenant, and certainly would not recommend him as a person in anything connected with business dealings. It seems to me that he just enjoys quibbling. I would be very hesitant to recommend him for any important position, but this is only because of his business dealings and has nothing to do with security. I know absolutely nothing about him that would be im- portant to his status as a security risk. I was personally quite annoyed because he created what I considered was an artificial and un- real color or integration issue in that building where he resides. It had always been the custom to have front elevators for the tenants and their guests. There were rear elevators for service people. He went over our head directly to the administration of the university and demanded that all persons, including service employees, be permitted to use the front elevator. He stated that the putting of service people in the rear elevator was de facto segregation because so many of the service people were colored. As this had nothing to do for the real reason that the two elevators had been separate during all the years of the existence of the building, I feel that he deliberately created a false issue and could not understand his motive in doing so. Consequently, I have been quite annoyed with him and frankly, mst admit that I am slightly prejudiced against him in my evaluation of him as a person.

I think he is not a drinking man, They seem to be completely normal, average people in all respects. 1 know that in addition to his apartment here, he has some kind of a summer residence in the State of Vermont where he goes skiing. He seems to be an emotionally stable person. I know he is a professor at New York University. He seems to ony good mental and physical health and 1 know nothing unfavorable out him. I believe he was written up in Time Magazine about four or five months ago in relation to his admirable activities in the field of civil rights and minority rights. Ke impresses me as a loyal, patriotic American. I know that he is a very strong believer in integration of minority groups in the country. He is not a person who would divulge important information carelessly. He is a very intelligent person and as "smart as a whip", I would definitely ‘recommend him for an important government assignment.

He is a friendly person, but not a glad-hander. He is generally conservative and would live well within his means. In addition to their apartmenthere, they have some kind of a small home around Stowe, Vermont and I believe they go there in the summer, I would have no reason to question Norman's loyalty or patriotism. He is very civic minded and belongs to the Greenwich Village Association and the Washington Square Association, He would not take part in any radical or subversive activities. He was a person I would trust with confidential information. I would also recommend him for a very sen- sitive federal assignment. . EDMOND N. CAHN, (Reference), Professor of Law, New York University, Room 333 Vanderbilt Hall. (Home address, 6 Washington Mews). I have known Norman Redlich since about 1949 when he was in Yale University. I was formerly the Editor in Chief of the Tax Law Review, which he now edits. I was his Professor when he was a graduate student at N. Y. U. Since then, we have become close, social and personal friends. I am happy to describe him as a person of excellent character and repu- tation. I know that his personal morals, conduct, habits and behavior are fine. He is a sober person of good mental and physical health, I have always held him in the very highest regard and know absolutely nothing of an unfavorable nature about him. I have no reservations in my mind about his loyalty and patriotism. He 4s a man who speaks up for unpopular causes. For instance, he is opposed — to capital punishment. However, he is not a man who would do anything detrimental te the United States Government. In fact, he is an excel~ ‘lent citizen, Although he is a very close friend of mine, he never divulged any important information to me which he has learned in con— nection to the duties he is presently performing. This is in spite of the fact that I am perhaps one of his very closest friends. He is a most discreet person. I would recommend him without reservation as one of the best citizens I know of who could be in an extremely sensitive position involving our national interests. | Mise e0us CHARLES KORN, (Reference), Attorney, 530 Fifth Avenue, 26th Floor.
