Rebulet 1-12-50 suggesting that this investigation be brought

to an early and logical conclusion, and the report of SA GEORGE

W. HUTCHISON, dated 1-25-50 at Louisville, transmitted herewith.

=

All outstanding undeveloped leads have been covered at the present le

time and it would appear tò be a logical point to consider the ad-

•visability of taking further action or closing the case.

A

large part of the investigation conducted since Louisville was

made office of origin has been designed to run down some of the

allegations made concerning the subjects early in the investiga-

tion which, becguse of the unavailibility of original sources,

5

was not possible earlier in the investigation.

A thorough review of this file had been made. Hereinafter will

be summarized briefly what appears to be the most derogatory in-

formation and allegations developed.

3

Some of the ellegations, it will be noted when traced to their.

original sources, lost their original significance. Much of thet

information concerning contacts between the subjects of this case

and subjects of other Pureau cases cannot be traced further and

the significance of most of these contacts cannot be fully ap-

praised by this office because of lack of complete information

corcerning the other subjects.

zackground of this case is set out in numerous letters, memos

and reports.

It will not be repeated except as necessary in

connection with the purpose of this conmunication.
