This article pertains to gangsters in the night clubs and other media of entertain- 1 ment'and it specifically mentions Frank Sinatra as having aided gang- sters and narcotic traders. .It also mentions that you T~men were present in Havana when Sinatra made the plane trip with the Fischetti brothers, and that he carried the suitcase supposedly containing the - money for Luciano. From the article, the data for which was taken fran the Treasury Department records, you will rind that Sinatra is - the close friend of Moretti, the Fischettis, Capone, Adonis cousin to Mcretti, and Luciano. There is much campaigning on the part or the Government, the press, and the radio, all of whom have been carrying extensive articles and programs in an effort to rid the country of this demoralizing situation, drug addiction, particularly among the youth of the nation. Sinatra is supposedly the symbol of the underprivileged YOuth Of America. That is the saddest mistake ever. He is synonymous :. wit everyh thin 3 b undesirable and from which vouth should be protected and Ti I hope you will concur that he is not the type of personality to have .1». in theentertainment* 1 field and before the youngsters who emu a c hie s p at- .4? tern and feel it's perfectly all right to achieve a success that way. People now feel that Sinatra should be forced to withdraw from the amuse- ment world. " ' Reader s gee Di t " , of September_ 1 , carries two excellent arti- cles; one on drug addiction~ d among the young an one on Lucky Luciano. -J The press and other publications and theradio are hammering at this outrageous and scandalous condition existing among the young. Why is Sinatra pennitted to continue when he is a friend of these very crimin als? What we would like to know right now is why was not Sinatra picked up in Havana when he arrived with the Fischettis? The T-men mere on the scene for the express purpose or meeting that plane inasmuch as they had information with regard to the trip, Suppose through lack of evi- dence your men were not able to arrest Sinatra, but don t you arrest sus- pects, more particularly in such a serious matter? It is s k w fact that entertainers are'hsed" for such purposes, but when a particular entertainer is a close ixnx friend of such criminals and willingymakes _ I such a tripwith two of them for a specific purpose,-Iarail to see how your men can possibly allow him to go free. Thereimust be sonnthingCliat {*1 wrong somewhere. Even Walter Winchell gave the tip-off on his progrmn ;, .5; I. 3 before that triparas_made., Also, how is it that Sinatra has Just been Fl¢ given a five=year Tv"éont¬hct with a network who has been doing such az Us I magnificent Job in this cOnn6Gt1On,¢their'TNation's Nightmare"series-Ju i ended durinz whih they carried Moretti's?$oic0, Moretti wh0Jgave'SinatrR 1 his start and maintained him also1uas instrumental in having the sex charge arrest reduced to seduction and then dismissed, though it had gone to the grand jury. There is something peculiar going on and people would like to know what it's all about.

As I said, I don'tunderstand the methods empbyed by your agency. Something just recently has happens d , 00,t th at makes me wonder Maybe . - I'm Just becoming suspicious of everything. On his "flight" back from Mexico, forced out by the attentions of the press one of whc he deliberately drove his car at and jwmned on the braxes as h e ouct hed the photographer's leg with it and then threatened to kill him the next time! he and Gardner, according to the press, returned to the Los Angeles airport in a bomber borrowed from one of his friendsi in' Mexico, a Mexican importer and a-36 er. I know that surplus equipment can be purchased tor private and other t h d e an importer want a B-36 bomber? He'sa Mexican, but in what export- usage, bu w y o s - _ . busi- ness? Sinatra is the close friend of Moretti, Adonis, Capone, Costello, and LUCIANO, and now comes to light that he has as a friend a Mexican importer. Whz goes on? Is the bomber being used for narcotics across the border? Sinatra would cer ' tainl y know who's-whoto when to deliver. fhere. wasno mentionof a pil either, The papers said he returned in a bomber he borrowed from the Mexican. He knows how to fly, had a pzdvate plane, but why would he wan t t o ano w how to fly a bonber, if he actually did? It's nomeen'task and if he does snow he must have had anything but a sound and healthy reason for wanting to Know now. Sinatra to my mind constitutes just asmuch of a crimina&_5s his odious friends not only by association with them and dope addicts but,.what is much worse, by his participation in their activities. Of course, he owes his career to them in no uncertain way and also owes his support financially {outside of his career! at times to them. He can 't possibly come out and say he's innocent of all this. The p~ess gave an account about a year-and-a-half ago of his visit to Italy when he attended Luciano s parties and read aboutithe delightful inscription the Wmercury article will tell you! he had put in the gold cigarette case he gave r : H -1 4- -I ...-l_.»l4, L..-.0!

Why is n't SOR8thlDQ done about this undeservin g and worthless individual? Prom where I set, he should be in jail or at I est out of the publi life he enjoys so freely. The phOtO§P&phEP has filed a complaint azainst him, but will anything cone of it?

Allegedly, Sinatra and/or Jajfe went to Washington to talk to the Army to determine why clearance was denied to Sinatra, who had been booked to go to Korea for Christmas as part >-- of a USO entertainment group, and allegedly the Army advised that it - -1 4»- had information from the FBI which prompted the Army to deny Tl U» clearance to Sinatra. This information referred to allegedly was that Lee Mortimer in a newspaper column stated that Sinatra was a Communist; that this information allegedly came from Bureau files. The Director noted "Nail this down promptly. H.

J Sinatra then went on to state that he hated Communism, had never been a member of a Communist organization, had n0 contact with Communists or Communist organizations, and the irresponsible accusations made against him had been so absurd that he had not refuted them. He went on to relate that he was eager to provide entertainment for the troops anywhere in the_ For East, Europe or the Continental imited states. He further stated that he would carry this matter to the Attorney General in order to clear his name, and he would engage counsel to represent him. General Mudgett then informed Sinatra that, from an entirely impersonal point of view, circumstances being as they were, the Army could not risk at this time giving a clearance to Sinatra. ' Colonel Marnane advised that he was at the L10 conference and prepared the minutes of same. He stated that the officers mentioned above were present also, General Kastner representing G-2_for aeneral Arthur G. Trudeau. He advised that General Kastner, other than the statements attributed to General Klein and General Mudgett, carried the entire conversation for the Army. General Kastner restricted his comments concerning Sinatra's Communist connections in their entirety to newspaper clippings, and at no time did he ever mention files of the FBI or any other organization. As a matter oj5 ct, Colonel yarnane stated that the G 2 file prepared for this conference merely consisted of newspaper clippings, and it was agreed that if Sinatra pressed G-2 for the source of their information, General Kastner was going to present the file to Sinatra so that he could read it. 1]!Colonel Marnane advised that the name Jaffe is unknown to him but advised that Sinatra was accompanied_to Senerql Klein s office by an individual, whose name he couldtnot recall, who was introduced to him as an agent of some sort. This individual remained in the outer office during the conference. r Bureau files reflect that in answer to a name check request from the U. S. Air Force OSI!a summary of information concerning Sinatra was furnished to that Agency on January 22, 1952, and a " Photcstat of the summary was furnished C-2 on February 19, 1952.
