@MW 55044 Docld: 32989526 _authorities under the expanded Fugitive Felon Act, namely confine- | | | i The primary purpose of the Fugitive Felon Act is to permit the FBI to locate and apprehend fugitives who flee across state lines to avoid state justice. We do not have the responsi- bility of solving or investigating the state crime; hdwever, we must be ever alert to detect any possibility that state officials have requested location of a person other than the one responsible for the state offense. In many instances, we will be interviewing - sarsons, who are also witnesses in the state_case_for the purpose f{ developing fugitive leads, background information and contacts of the subject. In connection with such interviews, we must be alert to any information which would suggest an erroneous identi- fication may have been made by local authorities. Should such occur, the facts should be immediately brought to the attention of local authorities and the U. S. Attorney, and immediate steps taken to correct the situation, promptly furnishing full facts to the Bureau. In an important area of our assistance to local ment cases, which include state parole violator fugitives, there is already a positive identification with a known fingerprint record. This’ identifying information should be obtained at the outset of the investigation. An aggressive discharge of our responsibilities under the act requires the establishment of effective jliaison with _ State parole and penal authorities. As. pointed out in the Manual of Instructions, Section 49, the Department has advised the Fugitive Felon Act is broad enough to include state parole and probation violators who flee interstate to avoid confinement after their probation or parole has been revoked for a state offense within the provisions of Title 18, Section 1073. Application of the act in such cases is not directed at the state parole or probation offense itself, which in some instances may not be a felony, but is directed toward the state offense for which the subject was originally convicted. Accordingly, in any case where the prior conviction was for a felony, the act might be applied. The Department has given considerable latitude and discretion to U. S. Attorneys in the enforcement of the act and has not limited its applicaticn to a particular list of state crimes. The Department rather has advised U. 8S. Attorneys that the act may be applied except where the purpose of the local Statute is the enforcement of a civil Obligation, or where the local law or application thereof is discriminatory.

To be of maximum assistance to local authorities, you must insure prompt referral of cases from prosecutors, penal authorities and state parole officers, and must be alert to recognize any possibility that local authorities have made an improper identification. aN (Security Letters on attached pages) 5/8/62 - SAC LETTER NO. 62-27 | oe Bee @MW 55044 Docld:32989526 Page 1108 ‘
~ (G) SECURITY INFORMANTS AND SOURCES - PAYMENT OF INCOME TAXES -- As a result of contemplated prosecutions under the Internal Security Act of 1950, Departmental attorneys are interviewing many informants anc former informants as prospective witnesses in a number of our offices. This is to again remind you that Section 107, N, 6, Manual of Instructions, requires that informants who receive compensation for their services to the Bureau should —_____he_advised that such compensation must be reported as income when S5044 filing income tax returns. When an informant or former informant is initially con- sidered as a potential witness in a Bureau case, it is desirable when advising him of the approaching interview by Departmental attorneys to ascertain prior to such interview all necessary in- . formation concerning his tax status. If he has not paid his taxes, obtain all pertinent details and promptly submit your recommendations for handling this situation. | & _ 5/8/62 SAC LETTER NO. 62-27 i {H)'; SECURITY INFORMANTS -~ CHANNELIZING INFORMANT STATEMENTS -- The following methcd for orepering informant statements, which are orally received and where multiple channelization is involved, is _ being brought to your attention for use if suited to the needs of your office. — Where the number of copies to be channelized requires the use of. Multilith equipment, it is suggested that when typing up the original of the statement for authentication by the informant, the plain paper, devoid of. Bureau markings or identification, | Should be inserted in the typewriter backed by Multilith Reproducing Carbon Paper, No. 200-837-100A, and 2a Multilith master in that order. In this manner as the original is typed, the same impression is recorded on the Multilith master. Then, after authentication of the original by the informant, the master is available to run off the requisite channelizing copies. The cost to the Government of the aforementioned brand of _ earbon paper is about $2.67 per 100 sheets which are 10 inches by 13s inches in size. Experimentation with this paper, which is . designed for one-time use, has disclosed that, by cutting it in half and using each haif twice by reversing it top to bottom after each use, each full sheet may Dé used four times. The Bureau does not stock this paper; therefore, each office desiring to make use of this system is authorized to purchase it locally. 5/8/62, Dake - .

~ (I) CIRCUIT RID RS, INC. -- It has recently come to the Bureau's attention that Circuit Riders, Incorporated, has published a book entitled "A Compilation of Public Records of 658 Clergymen and Laymen Connected With the National Council of Churches." A copy of this book was mailed directly to the Special Agent jin Charge at one of our offices, and it is possible that other iffices may receive copies of this book. For your information, the Circuit Reders is an organization made up primarily of laymen in the { ... ' thodist. Church whose cbjective_is_to_combat..communism_in_ the * athodist Church; however, the organization has no official con- rection with that Church. Myers G. Lowman is the Executive Secretary of the organization, and in recent years he has leveled numerous charges against clergymen, indicating they are sympathetic toward communism. Lowman has been critical in the past of speeches on communism by @ Bureau official and while we accept information from Lowman, contacts are most circumspect with him. Lowman, through his organization, has disseminated several other books of a similar type as the current one, which is a compilation of affiliations of the officers and clergymen of the National Council of Churches in pacifist organizations, one-world groups, socialist organizations, popular-front-type cf action “"groups-andcommunist front -organizations, prblications,. petitions, et cetera. The reliability of the material in Lowman's book has not been established, and you should, therefore, appropriately mark this book, if you should receive a copy, to the effect that there has been no corroboration of the material it contains and — the FBI. should in no instance utilize it as a source by itself. In all cases, the original source, if there is one, should be utilized rather than the book.

(G), CRIMINAL INFORMANTS - DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION -~ Reference 4s made to SAC Letter 62-19 (J) dated March 27, 1962, emphasizing the constant critical need for top quality informants. Many {informants throughout the field supply a vast amount of information consistently which enables the Bureau to successfully conclude -. highly important matters. Many of these informants because of ———thetr—intimate—knowledge_of criminals and.criminal activities _ beyond their immediate communities have been successfully used in penetrating illegal operations in distant areas. . . A survey of offices operating the most productive informants revealed these informants were developed as a result of initially carefully selecting individuals close to criminal operations and thereafter expending sufficient time and effort to further their development. The initial approach was for the ostensible purpose of interviewing the ‘prospective informant as a suspect in a pending matter. The elimination of the potential informant as a suspect fostered a climate conducive to his further development since many criminals are apprehensive of being "set up" because of their “" past records. It was found. that an extensive period of careful handling was vital to the exploitation of full potential of the informant. During this period, background concerning the individual under development was obtained to the extent that the prospective informant was convinced that the FBI was aware _ of the most minute details of his activities. In most instances at the outset financial reward was not an important factor in the development of top flight informants. However, after the individual committed himself to cooperate, money became "all important" in maintaining his . continued interest and productivity. Obtaining signed receipts presented no problem and was felt to be beneficial in most instances. Once payments were started to the informant, promptness in paying for information appeared to be more important to the informant than the actual amount paid. Without exception respect for the FBI was the high motivating factor in his assumption of the informant role. in Some cases distrust of police officers in the early stages of development included FBI Agents. This had to be ovércome by a confident mature approach of the Special Agent in portraying the Bureau's high standard of operation and role v 6/5/62 : ‘SAC LETTER NO. 62-32 ~5- _ NW 55044 Docld: 32989526 Page 1ii?
e ' of the confidential informant in bringing about the Bureau's successful accomplishments. Discussion with the informant as to the safeguards utilized by the Bureau to protect informants and how arrests and recoveries could be effected without disclosing an informant's identity were essential points in ‘ stablishing the necessary confidence to induce the prospective nformant to actively produce—information-for the-Bureau.. In connection with the deve lopment and the subsequent handling of° the informant it was frequently necessary to insure no action was taken by him which would arouse the suspicion of his criminal associates. Of necessity the Special Agent must exercise a high degree of ingenuity and maturity in guiding the informant. An interesting facet of the criminal mind on which Special Agents have been able to capitalize is the intense. Gislike harbored by criminals for certain types of other criminals. Frequently the thief has contempt for the narcotics vendor; the armed robber intense dislike for the confidence man, and so on. no . Giving the informant a sense of importance, showing " respect for his judgment, accepting his past, and instilling a sense of accomplishment serve to promote the spirit of _ -.caoperation which results in increased productivity. Although Some information may be trivial, it was important to take copious notes even on the most minute piece of information to impress the informant and to later evaluate his reliability. The above is to assist you in this important phase of ‘our operations which has such a direct bearing on our over- all “accomplishments.

h - . ae - Sr (H) ESPIONAGE AND FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATIONS /SURVEILLANCES OF SOVIET-BLOC PERSONNEL -~ For years Soviet officials in the United States have made numerous and repeated trips throughout this country aimed at obtaining valuable data regarding our air bases, missile sites and other important defense installations. In recent years . they have coordinated their activities in this regard with the | satellite countries and in this way are getting coverage of areas -4n the United States closed to Soviet travel. ; . In connection with our responsibility in regard to coverage” of Soviet-bloc activities, these Soviet~bloc officials have been | placed under surveliilance. Many offices have participated in these surveillances, and it appears that this activity on the part of the Soviet bloc will continue. - On May 16, 1962, a number of newspapers in the United States carried an Associated Press article, date line Moscow, May 15, . 1962, reporting that a correspondent for "Izvestia," the official Soviet Government newspaper, alleged that during a recent tour of the United States he was constantly shadowed by the "American secret service," He also alleged newspaper reporters and television men . -.had “close business connections with the FBI" because reporters met him at the railroad station in Portland, Oregon, when hé arrived there. He alleged he was under heavy surveillance in Seattle, % Washington, and furnished license numbers of two automobiles he alleged were conducting surveillance of him in Los Angeles, California. — The Bureau determined that the allegations of the Soviet ' correspondent, were completely false and undoubtedly were an attempt by the Soviets to embarrass this Bureau and to curtail our counter- ‘intelligence operations.: There is a definite possibility other Soviet-bloc personnel may make similar charges in the future and ‘ain this connection may attempt to obtain proof of their allegations, such as obtaining photographs of Bureau cars or surveillance agents. It is known that bloc personnel have madé numerous attempts to do this in the past. . We do not intend to allow a false allegation by the Soviet bloc to alter coverage of their activities. Our surveil- _ lances undoubtedly. have hampered the Soviets in collection of intelligence data in the United States, and we can expect them to create or utilize any incident they can as a basis for protest against our coverage.» 6/5/62 | .

e . 6 ' . « : It is desired, therefore, that the above facts be called to the attention of all agents. It should be pointed out that while the Bureau desires our coverage of Soviet-bloc officials to be as complete as possible, the surveillance ‘must be discreet and every precaution must be taken to avoid giving the Soviets a basis for protest. | You should impress upon agents Se of Soviet-bloc personnel in the United States that they must constantly exercise keen alertness, careful planning and good judgment in handling all facets of our surveillance operations.

(F) SECURITY INFORMANTS’ - CONTROL -- Department representatives have been interviewing security informants as possible! witnesses in prosecutions under the Internal Security Act of 1950. | In many cases, security informants have shown considerable reluctance! to testify except in the event of a national emergency for fear of physical harm, social and business reprisals and other personal’ reasons. Ir structions are now outstanding for informants to submit their —-~- $ formation in such form-that—if-they-~are called -upon.to.testify. ‘jeir written statements will be available for introduction in court o back up their testimony. ; Despite the fact that they realize they may be needed as fitnesses in the future, some informants are reluctant to testify ror the reasons noted above. : Jt is the responsibility of the Special Agents handling security informants to condition them to the fact that someday the knowledge they possess may be needed as evidence in court to assist our Government in combatting the evil of communism. All Special, Agents handling security informants must, as a part of our over-all informant program, psychologically prepare the informants for the fact they may,.at some future date, be called upon to render a still further contribution to their Government by testifying to the infor- mation they have furnished concerning security matters. The proper indoctrination of informants in this regard is absolutely essential since it is incumbent vpon the Bureau to-— provide witnesses whenever the Department initiates prosecution in Security cases. 6/12/62 , 1 SAC_LETTER NO. 62-33 . . (G)- SECURITY INFORMANTS = PAYMENTS FOR EXPENSES -- The exorbitant ‘ financial demands by the Nation of Islam (NOI) on its: members was the subject of discussion at the Internal Security-Espionage Conference held at the Seat of Government on May 28-29, 1962. It was noted that each temple of the NOI sets the amount of dues which members must pay and also requires.numerous other collections. lembers are threatened with expulsion if they do not meet these demands.

submitted to date indicate substantial improvement throughout the field in contacts with news media, and quarterly reports will no longer be required. Hereafter, each field division will submit an annual report to reach the Bureau by May 15, in which a detailed summary of activities designed to maintain good relations with all types of news media is set forth. This report should _contain the number of daily and weekly-newspapers, radio and f*elevision stations in the _division,.together_with_the total _ number of contacts which have been made with representatives of these media. The report should specify the number of items such as Introductions to the Law Enforcement Bulletin and other material distributed during the year.

The first five items on the revised form, providing for the listing of personal and dependent exemptions, have not changed. It is no longer necessary or desirable that a memorandum be written requesting extra Federal income tax be withheld from __ an employee's salary since the revised W-4 Form is sufficient. The receipt of a new W-4+ Form from an employee voids the previous W-4 Form as well as any other request for the withholding of additional taxes; therefore, complete information should be shown opposite each of the six items on the W-4 Form when submitted. Item 6 should show the entire amount of any additional tax to be _ withheld, including any amount previously authorized. Amounts listed opposite Item 6 must be in full dollar amounts. This form must always contain the personal signature of the employee. Form Should include the payroll number. In the future, the Statement of Earnings will show the amount of any extra Federal income tax withheld when an employee has authorized the withholding of such extra tax. All employees. of your office should be advised of the foregoing.

(gs) ‘FOREIGN LANGUAGE TRAINING PROGRAM -- It has come to my attention that the view is prevalent that age and length of service are a bar to consideration for Foreign Language training and that such training will adversely affect consideration for office of preference transfers or administrative advancement. me I wish to emphasize that neither age nor length of ~~ service constitutes an automatic bar to consideration for Foreign Language training. The primary factors which are given weight are (1) the need of the Bureau, which must be paramount and, (2) the interest, ability, aptitude and availability of individual Agents. Training in a foreign language definitely does not prevent an Agent being considered for a transfer to an office of preference. Language-trained Agents are listed for their indicated offices of preference in exactly the same fashion as 8 other Agents and come up for consideration for such assignments in the normal manner. As regards foreign language ability pre- cluding consideration for administrative advancement, I wish to state that this is simply not so. There are numerous Bureau executives .at-all-levels, both at the Seat of Government and-in the field, who have language ability and have used it on regular investigative assignments. It has not hindered their advance- ment. As a matter of fact, there are positions where foreign language ability is a mandatory requirement for administrative advancement, such as Legal Attaches. The main factors con- Sidered in connection with administrative advancement are the interest, ability and availability of the Agent. 6/19/62 SAC LETTER NO. 62-34 (F)}’- SEARCHES AND SEIZURES -- Federal courts have recently ruled adversely to the government in two Bureau cases involving questions of search and seizure. These decisions illustrate again the need for all investigative personnel to know and closely follow the rules pertaining to the crucial search function din criminal cases. +t In U. S. v. Rutheiser, 203 F. Supp. 891 (1962), Agents ‘went to the defendant's home at 8:30 p.m. and obtained what they * considered to be a valid consent to search the home. The search disclosed stolen goods and the carton in which the goods had arrived, both of which were specifically pointed out to the Agents by the defendant during the search. The court ruled, however, SAC LETTER NO. 62- 3h | -3- ; 5044 Docld: 32989526 Page 1129
that although the "... defendant did acquiesce to the isearch by the agents," such acquiesence was "... not that consent which constitutes an unequivocal, free “and intelligent) waiver of a fundamental right." In reaching this conclusion,| the court agreed with the defendant's argument that "... the y ‘esence of the agents in his home at night created an tmosphere of coercion and duréss. Cases such as this one admittedly pose a difficult problem. The truck driver from whom the defendant allegedly received the stolen goods was in the Bureau office at the moment, and an immediate search of the defendant's premises seemed both logical and necessary. Delay of the search until daytime might have resulted in the defendant becoming apprised of the investigation and disposing of the contraband. Although the Federal courts vary considerably in their receptivity to consent searches, and a different court might well have upheld the search here, consent searches should always be viewed as difficult to sustain. Duress is often ‘implied from such circumstancés as an abnormal hour of search, -words of demand rather than request to search, or any show of force such as a large number of officers on the premises. _ , Before attempting a search by consent, consideration _ should be given always to the possibility of obtaining a-Search warrant. Searches by warrant are preferable to searches by consent, and particularly so when premises are involved. + In Mosco v. U. S., 301 F2d 180 (1962), four separate Searches were made but the results of only two were allowed into evidence. These two were a consent search of a vehicle and a consent search of the person, both made by Bureau Agents. To the contrary, the results of a search of premises. by an Agent and a local officer, and a vehicle search by a local officer alone, were not allowed into evidence. As to the search of premises, the court found that an Agent and a local officer properly went into the apartment of one of the two defendants to arrest him on-a bank robbery charge but, on finding the defendant not there, improperly Searched the apartment for evidence some thirty minutes in advance of the defendant's arrest when he returned to the apartment. There being no search warrant and no consent, SAC LETTER NO. 62- 3h - 4. . NW—S.20 : ‘ Page 1130 a
the search could be sustained only if made incidental to the arrest, and it did not meet the requirements for this type of search because it was made before the arrest rather than immediately subsequent thereto as required by the law. The search of the same defendant's vehicle by a local officer was ruled’ out because tt was-made—-on-no—tegal—basis whatsoever. Moreover, defendant's later consent to search his vehicle, obtained after his arrest, did not cure the illegality of the search made previously. The court said, “All searches, such as they were, were reasonable. They were not such as would shock the conscience of justice, nor were they contrary to one's sense of fair play." Nevertheless, two of the searches were held insufficient to meet Federal constitutional standards. The result was that the conviction of one of the two defendants was reversed and remanded for new trial on lawfully acquired evidence only. ote ean hee eu erent oe oe hee 5 — ty ame. cee seecenerinagneogegeny Bring this information to the attention of all investigative personnel.” “Add@itidnal instructiou on the legal: ‘points involved in both decisions cited here is available in Wana Sete Document #O1 entitled, "The Federal Law on Search “and Seizure." .

4 (G)’ “REPORT WRITING —- SECURITY - THOROUGHNESS -- The Bureau has recently noted a number of instances in security matter reports wherein some anticipated or planned activity is reported but there is no follow-up statement in the report that the activity did, in fact, take place. This has occurred even though the period of the report has encompassed the date of the alleged activity. This is obviously an undesirable practice as it —-—Teaves the reader—up—in the-air"-as—to—whether -the: activity— did or did not take place. Also, such a situation could imply inadequate investigation and thus prove embarrassing because of the responsibility the Bureau has for dissemination to other agencies which rely on the Bureau for the full facts in given situations. ' This matter should be brought to the attention of all Special Agents engaged in security work who should be reminded of the necessity for thoroughness in the preparation of reports so as to eliminate the undesirable tendency noted above. 6/19/62 SAC LETTER NO. 62-34 yg : (H)..“ CHINESE.

The field should promptly alert all logical informants, potential security informants, confidential - BOUrces and sources of information for indications that any of these refugees is engaged in activities inimical to interests of the United States. — Inasmuch as these Chinese refugees are entering the United States as immigrants, field offices would normally be alerted to their presence-under the current program of "Chinese Aliens Entering the United States for Permanent Residence."

In recognition of the mounting : tension between Cuba and the United States, additional standards j for placing individuals on the Security Index based soiely on their pro-Castro activities and sympathies have been established to complement the Standards outiined in SAC Lette r 60-54.

There must be a showing of activities of the type described above subsequent to October 1, 1960, and this must . be verified by investigation. In essence, these standards oO have been established to cover Cuban nationais who have definitely evidenced support of Castro or a communist regime in Cuba since October 1, 1960. __ This move is being made to insure special consideration is given those potentially dangerous individuals who retain ~~ basic loyalties to the procommunist, pro-Soviet Bioc and anti-U.

A statement showing why they do not qualify shouid be inciuded on a cover page of the closing report or in other closing communication if the appropriate FD-122 recommending inclusion of the individual ! on the Security Index is not submitted. A systematic review or all Internal Security - Cuba and Registration Act - Cuba cases closed since October 1, 1960, should be conducted to select-other potentially dangerous individuals who fall within these new criteria. Your 105-0 files and any other appropriate controi files (such-as those containing INS name check forms G-135a showing pro-Castr allegations have been made against Cuban aliens arriving in the U.

This causes delay and unnecessary, expenditure of employee time in attempting to decode such garbled messages. The AFSAM-7 Manual of Operation and Routine Maintenance, Section II B., subsection 2.g., page 12, instructs that an enciphered message is to be completely check-deciphered prior to transmission, preferably. by another operator and, if avail- able, on a sécond machine using a different set of rotors. This check-decipherment is mandatory. If this check-decipherment procedure were followed meticulously on all messages by each office, failures to encode properly would be detected prior to transmission, and the majority of garbles in messages would be eliminated.

11/20/62 SAC LETTER NO. 62-66 . . i . (D// CIVIL SERVICE.RETIREMENT BENZFITS -- Public Law 87-793 approved October 11, 1962, liberalized in several respects the retirement benefits granted by the Civil Service Retirement Act. The new -- benefits. await.implementation by Congressional appropriation of the necessary funds. This cannot occur until the 8&th Congress convenes in January, 1963. Legislation will then be introduced looking toward appropriation of such funds. The new benefits relate mainly to upward adjustment in -— | amount of annuity and to increased survivor protection. . Provisions which would affect the amount of annuity include: (1) The annuity of each retired employee and survivor annuitant | receiving or eligible to receive an annuity on January 1,. 1963, sould be increased 5 per cent. Annuities commencing between January 2, and December 31, 1963, would be increased 4 per cent; those com- Mencing during 1964, 3 per cent; those commencing during 1965, 2 per cent; and those commencing during 1966, 1 per cent. (2) Beginning in January, -1964, yearly changes in the nation- wide cost of living will. be reviewed by the Civil Service Commission _ and whenever the cost of living rises at least 3 per cent, annuities will be further increased by 4 percentage matching the rise in the cost of living. (3) The :reduction in an employee's annuity to provide for a survivor annuity will be changed from 24 per cent of the first $2400, plus 1S ber cent of the balance to 23 per cent of the first. $3600, plus | ry per cent of the balance. This will apply, once Congress. appropriates 19G2” to all retiring employees separated on or after October 11, e, with an annuity commencing after that time. 11/20/62 SAC LETTER NO. 62-66 .. - (= 2 RW 93 0d Bre Ea GOSS 5 GPa a
Provisions which increase survivor protection include: (1) The survivor has been eligible for 50 per cent of the annuity of the employee but the new law changes this to 55 per cent. This applies to annuities based on separations occurring on or after October ll, 1962, but again must await appropriation of the necessary ‘funds. Furthermore, instead of requiring that a retiring married employee must specifically designate his spouse to receive a ——“survivor annuity, “such annuity will be payablé automatically unless employee at the time he retires specifies otherwise in writing. This particular change is now in effect and requires no appropriation by Congress. (2) Survivor annuity payments to a child otherwise eligible for annuity can continue beyond the former limit of age 18 and up to age 21 if he is a student regularly pursuing full-time residence study in a high school, trade school, technical or vocational institute, junior college, college, university or comparable recognized institution. This will apply where the parent employee or annuitant dies on or after October 11, 1962, or where the death occurred before that date put the surviving student-child is not 18 until on or after that date. The annuity of a student-child ends when he marries, dies, ceases to be a student or becomes 21, whichever occurs first. This benefit likewise must await appropriation of the necessary funds by Congress. 11/20/62 SAC LETTER NO. 62-66.

ECONOMY - FISCAL YEAR 1963 ~- An analysis at this time of the . Bureau's financial condition projected through the end of the current _ fiscal year (1963) indicates many items of expense are being incurred pt a rate that if continued would substantially exceed available ‘funds. For example, (1) the Bureau is being required by the Bureau of the Budget to absorb an additional cost of about $133,000 for postage rate increases to go into effect January 1, 1963, for which no additional funds will be made available; (2) higher costs of local, long distance, and teletype services; (3) higher travel costs; and (4) repairs’ and alterations to space. Your attention was called to the higher-communications costs in item A of SAC Letter No. 62-45 dated August 28, 1962. Because of these higher costs, and in order to make sure no deficit will be incurred, the Bureau is making a corresponding reduction in the funds available for the purchase of equipment. This action means that only requests for absolutely essential supplies and equipment will be approved by the Bureau. BB NW 55044 Doclda:32989526 Page 1152
No requests for repairs or alterations to space should be made unless they are absolutely essential to the Bureau's proper and efficient operation. Requests submitted only on the basis that they are desirable will be turned down. In addition your full and complete cooperation is requested .in keeping all other costs to an absolute minimum consistent with the proper performance of our work. With your full cooperation it is believed that the Bureau can avoid taking any more drastic steps _— 11/20/62 SAC LETTER NO. 62-66. | . = G.= Ma 55044  Doold: 32989526 Page i153

I am pleased to note the decrease in the over-all number of accidents _during fiscal year 1962. The number of accidents was reduced from 309 in fiscal year 1961 to 286 for fiscal year 1962. A close analysis of this report reflects a favorable trend in several areas and I certainly hope this trend continues. It should be noted that the principal cause of accidents was rear-end collisions which accounted for 65.9 per cent of all accidents in which Bureau employees were held responsible. Intersection collisions ranked second accounting for 22.7 per cent of those accidents in which Bureau employees were held responsible. TK number of accidents-which-occurred-in 1962-were the-result of ‘cars’ striking parked vehicles, cars being sideswiped and drivers’ pulling out from parked positions at the curb into moving traffic. Last year instructions were issued that each employee must develop good defensive driving habits in order to keep the number of accidents at a minimum. These instructions should be reiterated at this time to endeavor to effect an even further reduction in accidents. * 12/26/62 1 SAC LETTER NO. .62-72 ~ _(B)- INVESTIGATIVE MATTERS RECEIVED -- An examination of the Monthly : Administrative Reports reflects there is a substantial decrease in the number of investigative matters being received, the cause of which must be immedi- - ately determined and necessary remedial action taken. “ .

(D) SEIZURE OF MATERIAL UNDER INTERSTATE TRANSPORTATION OF OBSCENE MATTER STATUTE -- The decision on November 5, 1962, by the Circuit Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit, reversing the convictions of Arthur Abraham Peisner and Harry Morris Disman for violation of the Interstate Transportation of Obscene Matter Statute expresses views on probable cause which should be kept in mind during future investigations of this type. In October, 1958, a reliable informant advised that Peisner would transport obscene material from Maryland to New York, — probably over-the week- end-of October 31; -1958 ->—He~had- previously been linked with the manufacture and sale of obscene material. Bureau Agents on November 1, 1958, observed Peisner and Disman loading packages into a car at Peisner's Maryland residence. They were observed driving through Delaware and into New Jersey where they entered the New Jersey Turnpike. Bureau Agents alerted the New Jersey State Police to the possibility that Peisner and Disman were transporting obscene material, and the subjects were arrested by the State Police while on the turnpike. More than 1,500 obscene books were taken from the car. A Federal complaint was filed, and both subjects were convicted for violation of the Interstate Trans- portation of Obscene Matter Statute. On appeal, the Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the ~“sOnvictions of both subjects. The search of the automobile without a warrant was not based on sufficient probable cause to believe that the books being transported were obscene. Once examined, the obscenity of the books was admitted, but the information in possession of the officers at the time the search of the automobile was initiated was insufficient to meet a strict standard of probable cause for vehicle search in ooscene literature cases. The court concluded that as a minimal requirement for a search for and seizure of publications thought to be obscene it is essential that some qualified individual, aware of the proper test of obscenity as announced in the case of Roth v. United States, 354 US 476 (1957), should have madé a determination prior to search and seigure that a publication meets that test. (The proper test of obscenity as announced in the Roth case is “whether to the average person, applying contemporary community standards, the dominant theme of the material taken as a whole appeals to prurient interest." The court held that the test 4s the effect "not upon any particular class, but-upon all those whom it is likely to reach."). . A different conclusion was reached in the case of Weise v. United States, 251 F 2d 867 (1958), in which the facts were strik- ingly Similar and the "minimal requirement" demanded by the court 12/26/62 SAC LETTER NO. 62-72 . «5 4 WyI55044Docld:32989526 Page 1171 4
in the Peisner decision was not present. The Circuit Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, upheld the conviction in the Weise case, and the United States Supreme Court denied certiorari, thus leaving the conviction standing. . The conflict in the decision—in-the.Peisner case and that in the Weise case leaves in doubt the standard of probable cause which will be followed by the next court hearing a case of a similar nature. The decisions in the two cases have been set forth for the information and guidance of Agent personnel handling Inter- state Transportation of Okscene Matter Investigations. It is to be noted that a.warrant of arrest had been obtained in the Weise _e@ase but not in the Peisner case. You are again reminded of the existing Bureau rule that, wherever possible, a warrant ofarrest should be obtained. , Very truly yours, John Edgar Hoover Director id ars SAC LETTER NO. 62-72 ~ 6 - uw 55044 Docld:32989526 Page 1172
