serial 922A - Memo from 1; ector to sic, LA dated 9/7/51 re: FRANK SINATHA, etal Research. Memo sets out Enclosed are photostatic copies of two communications dated B/28, and Bfj/51, from an anonymous source. Copies being furnished to Narcotics Bureau at Washington, D. C. and the Legat at Havana, Cuba. Serial 922 - Photostatic copy of letter dated 8/28/51 to Director signed "Justifiably puzzled citizen". Letter as follows: "A large aggregation of people are puzzled about something, which has been recently called to the public's attention through an article in the August edition of the American Mercury' magazine. This article pertains to gangsters in the night clubs and other media of entertainment and it specifically mentions FRANK SIHATRA as having aided gangsters and narcotic traders. It also mentions that your T-men were present in Havana when SINATRA made the plans trip with th Fischetti brothers, andithat he carried the-suitcase supposedly containing the money for Luciano. From the article, the data for which was taken from the Treasury Department records, you will find that SINATRA is the close friend of Moretti, the Fischettis, Capone, Adonis cousin to Moretti, and Luciano. There is much campaigning on the part of 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 natior SINATRA is supposedly the symbol of the underprivileged youth of America. That is the saddest mistake ever. He is synonymous withh everything undersirable and from which youth should be protected and I hope you will concur that he is not the type of personality to have in the entertainment field and.before the youngsters who emulate his pattern 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 amusement world. Reader's Digest, of September, carries two excellent articles; one on drug addiction among the young and one on Lucky Luciano. The press and other publications and the radio are hammering at this outrageous and scandalous condition existing among the young. Why is SINATRA permitted to continue when he is a friend of these very criminals? What we would like to knw right not is why was not SINATRA picked up in Havana when he arrived with the Fischettis? The T-men were on the scene for the express purpose of meeting that plane inasmuch as they had information with regard to the trip. Suppose through lack of evidence your men were not able to arrest SINATRA, but don't you arrest suspects, more particularly in such a serious matter? It is a knwn fact that entertainers are 'used' for such purposes, but when a particular entertainer is a 92 cowrmuazn on 1=ucQ3. 55 Ret

There must he something wrong somewhere. Even alter Winchell gave the tip-off on his program before that trip was made. Also, how is it that SINATRA has just been given a five-year TV contract with a network who has been doing such a magnificent job in this connection, their 'Nation's 1£ightmare'series just ended, during which they carried Moretti's voice, Moretti who gave SIHATRA his start and maintained him also was instrumental in having the sex charge arrest reduced to seduction and then dismissed, though it had gone to the grand jury. ihere is something peculiar going on and people would like to know what it's all about. It's anything but healthy and SINATR£ is anything but un-American when he is aiding criminals."

Photostatic copy of letter dated 8/30/51 to Director signed "Disgusted and indignant". Letter as follows: "I don'tpretend to undrstand the workings of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I've alwaysfelt that since we had your agency everything, more or less, was under control. However, I'm now puzzled by something and also have a very thorough feeling of revulsion about another aspect of it. Not so very long ago Walter Winchell is his broadcast gave a tip-off about a trip being made to Havana by the notorious Fischetti brothers, a trip to take drug money to Luciano, and he went so far as to mention the name of third person who would be taking the money - FRANK SINATRA£ I have just read an article by Lee iortiner in the August issue of the American Mercury,r which is a partial expose of gangsterism in the entertain- ment world and he has mentioned the above stated facts. What is more, his material for the article was taken from the files of our Treasury Department and there is a photograph showing SiNATRA getting off the plane, carrying the suitcase purportedly containing that money, and in company of the two Fischettis, and, further, that the Tmen were on the scene at the airport. Did not the fact that he was in their company and carrying a suitcase, a large one, the SINATRAof all people carrying a suitcase of any size!! at least make him suspect enugh for attention on the part of you agents? No doubt, there was good reason for his not being apprehended. As I said, I don'tunderstand the methods employed by your agency. Something just recently has haopened, too, that sakes me wonder. Maybe I'mjust becoming suspicious of everything.

I know that surplus equipment can be purchased for private and other usage, but why does an importer want a B-36 bomber? He's a Mexican, but in what business? 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. What goes on? Is the bomber being used for narcotics across the border? SINATRA would certainly know who's-wh to whom to deliver. There was no mention of a pilot either. The papers said he returned in a bomber he borrowed from the Mexican. He knows how to fly, had a private plane, but wry would he want to know how to fly a bomber, if he actually did? It's no mean task and if he does know he must have had anything but a sound and healthy reason for wanting to know how.

"SINATR5 to my mind constitutes just as much of a criminal as 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 outsideof his career! at times to them. He can't possibly come out and say he's innocent of all this. The press gave an account about a year-and-a-half ago of his visit to Italy when he attended Luciano's parties and read about the delightful inscription the "Mercury article will tell you! he had put in the gold cigarette case he gave Luciano. This SINATRA is quite something, isn't he?! Yet he's walking around free and is permitted to remain on top, where's he definitely anything but an example to youth. Why isn't something done about this undessrring and worthless individual? From where I sit, he should be in jail or at least out of the public life he enjoys so freely. The photographer has filed a complaint against him, but will anything come of it? Not with SINATRA's 'friends' behind him! Where were the police at the airport that they did not see him deliberately drive his car at a person and isn't there a cause for arrest when there's an attempt at manslaughter? What goes on anyway? He jammed on the brakes just in time tnen yelled: Next time I'll kill you! I'd hate to see the newsman killed or injured, but it's honestly too bad that SINATRA was able to Jam on the brakes in time to preven something more serious than brushing the man's leg happening. It would have been cause for putting this scurvy character where he rightfully belongs and to think that he's receiving the adulation of the public and the idolatry of the teen-agers when he is the VBPY living symbol of everything the Goverment, the press, the radio the very network which produced such an outstanding program on narcotics and the criminals in the field, even interviewing Horetti

"The August edition of the AMERIGAN MERCURY magazine contains an article by Lee Eortimer titled: 'FhnF SINATRA Confidential Gangsters in the Right J1ubs!' and hr. Mortimer's material is authenioateo. he took the material from our dovernment records, from the files of the Treasnrz Department. It is doubtful if you'll be able to obtain a copy tdls late so I shall outline the bare facts. I am mindful of the teenagers when writing this letter.

"SINATRA: In his late teens met willie Moretti, the notorious kind of the New Jersey rackets not under your State's jurisdiction! who hf} became his 'patron saint. Moretti endeavored to keep him out of i trouble, but didn't succeed very well. SEX CHARGE ARREST: In Bergen County, N. J. Arrested on sex charge, through iniluence of Moretti reduced to seduction and finally dismissed through Moretti, though case went to grand jury. Horetti "obtained his first job for him, $35.00 weekly, but he, Moretti L thought it was insufficient so handsomely supplied SINATRR with socket money. "ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF IEAPON: SINATRA then went to Los Angeles and he ooenly carried a gun. The Los Angeles Sheriff took it away from him but SINATRA continued to carry a gun long after the Sheriff told the press he had taken it away. "FRIENDS: SINATRA's friends are: Willie Moretti cousin of Joe Adonisi, Joe Adonis, the Fischetti brothers of Chicago whoare cousins of A1 Capone}, A1 Capone, Meyer Lansky, Frank Costello, and Lucky Luciano. "CAREER AGAIN: The gangsters obtained his job with Tommy Dorsey's band. SINATRA wanted a release from the contract and whn Dorsey refused he was threatened so the release was given. While SINATRL was out of work he was 'kept' by the gangsters since he could not be seen going around poorly dressed. . "CQMBQTCIIT WITH GRIMINALS AND IN CRIME: There is ___ entry on the manifestéof thePanAmerican Airwaysréf a trip made with the Fischetti brothers from Miami to Havana for the express purpose of turning over two million dollars, covering past and future narcotic transactions. This was after Lucian had been deported to Italy and had managed to sneak back to Cuba. There is a photograph to prov! this. The Temen had the entire matter covered frm Miami to Havana and the photo shone SINATRA getting off the plane with the Fischettis and carrying the suitcase. The money was late; turned

In a raid on Luciano's home by the Italian police they collected, among other things, a solid gold cigarette case bearing the inscription: Io my deal pal, Lucky, from his friend, FRANK SINATRA.' According to newspaper accounts, less than two years ago SINAJEA made a trip to Italy where it was reported he openly attended Lucianois parties.

You have here three wanton breaches of the law: Sex charge arrest in New Jersey. Illegal possession of a gun, even after having it taken away from him by the sheriff, a person of authority, after which he continued to carry one. And complicity with criminals and in crime. Today he still boasts on his radio program that: Most of my friends are in prison.

"Why is this entertainer permitted to.have full rein in the profession? The Government, the press, and the radio are hard at work trying to prosecute all these criminals, gangsters, and racketeers. The radio has over the summer months given an outstandi: public service in this connection, even having an interview with Moretti on one program the network that will hire SINATRA again for five years!! and all the leading publications are running lead articles on drug addiction among the young and on Luciano and his crimes. let nobody bothers to see that SINATRA comes in for his she: in this nefarious matter. Frankly, we feel he is anything but the sort of entertainer to have before the teen-agers as a pattern to follow to become successful. Of course, it's all right to have sex orgies the papers are full of them today!, it's perfectly all right to break the law and carry guns even after you have been apprehended and warned against it, it's perfectly all right to be close friends with the top criminals of the country and to help them and have them put you on the top where you receive a fantastic income. It's a nice example for youth, isn't it? He breaks the law on three counts, goes free; has all the wrong associations and people applaud him, carries a gun, so that's all right; aids criminals and that's all right, too. He comes out on top. Hollywood has erroneously described him as !the symbol of underprivileged American youth. Nothing-could be farther from the truth! He's synonymous with criminals, crime, hoodlumism, gangsters, and his almost daily immorality is enough in itself without all the other more heinous activities. What has SINATRA gone free? we read from time to time of one of the entertainers in Hollywood committing an offense for the first time, not as bad as SINATRA's offenses, and an uproar is made and he is arrested, fined and jailed, but SINATRA goes free.

A review of these newspaper columns was made for backgrou information, and the following summary prepared: In the Minter of 19h6-t7, FRANK SINATRA wasobserved in association with notorious persons, including Lucky Luciano in Cuba. Not long after the meeting in Cuba, SINATRA made his way back to Hollywood by way of several Mexican resorts. The official passenger list of the Pan.American Airways on 2/ll/47, reportedly reflects that FRANK srxaraa flew iron Miami, Fla., to Havana, Cuba, with Joe and Rocco Fischetti of Chicago. It is reported that E. J. Kahn, Jr., than press agent for SINATRA, reported that SINhTHI'iE§'5Tt¬h surrounded by a strolling wall of selfaopointed guardians who while not precisley desparados, are fairly rough and tumble individuals, who are always looking out to see that nothing happens to SINATRA. It was through a relative of the Fischetti brothers of Chicago that SINAIRA was introduced to Lucky Luciano in Cuba. The Fischetti brothers are related to the Capones in Chicago and had many interes in cammnlwith the Capone Gang. One of S1NATEA's groupown referred to the wild party in which SINATEA took part in the Hotel Hacional in Havana, Cuba, as a 'debauch.' Amongthose present were SINATRA, Luciano, the Fischett: a Chicago journalist, and a number of women. A strip of mving oictures show SINATRA getting off the plane in Havana on that occasion accompanied by Joe and Rocco Fischetti. Another Fischetti brother is named Charles, who is in partners with his brothers in a suburban Chicago gahling dive. Rocco Fischetti was described as a member of the Italian secret underworld organization, the Mafia, of which Luciano was reportedly the leader. Another associate of SINATRA was described as Willie Moretti, a notorious New Jersey gangster who for years had been associated with Frank Costello, Joe Adonis, Longie Zwillman, layer Lansky,and the late Bugsy Siegsl. Horetti, commonly known as Willie Moore, was ascribed as absolute underworld boss in Bergen County, N.J. It was in this coun that
