SUBJECT5 PLOT TO ASSASSINATE FRANIFSINATRA

Dave Sentner of the Hearst Newspapers called at 10:30 AM, January 20, 1961. He advised that his Boston Office had received a tip two mental patients had escaped from an hospital in Massachusetts. These men-were reportedly carrying guns. They had reportedly announced inténtidhts of doing away with Frank Sinatra.

NOTE" No record in Bufiles on correspondent, her husband, "R0minoff and Juliet" or "Marines Letfs Go". N o Bureau investigation has been conducted by the Bureau concerning Frank Sinatra. Bufiles do, however, reflect that he has been affiliated with numerous communist front groups and has had his nametused in connection with various functions sponsored by such groups. In 1944, limited inquiries were made by the Bureau concerning his Seleqiive Service status following an anonymous allegationthat he had paid-mone3?_"to securea 4F classification. Allegations baseless. Sinatra's name has, of course, beenclosely associated with Peter Lawford, brother- in- law of President Kennedy through friendship, and Sinatra'sname was linked several years ago with numerous underground hoodlums. 2-83219!

Having recentlylleard through what appears to be a reliable source, that "Fra,n_§g§ig3._t5aa is Communist and that I would be surprised at many more there are in Hol1ywood" has caused me quite a bit of concern. Especially since I read in today's Miami Herald that "Frank Sinatra is Guest on President Kennedy Boat. " Also that he is visiting the Lawfords at the home of the Presidents father, Joseph P. Kennedy. Is there any truth in this rumor? If so why does our President and his family associate with him?

There is another question I'dlike to- ask. Why are such pictures as "Rominoff and Juliet!,allowed to be shownto our public when they so"plainly belittle our_'United Nationsby insinuating U/la it's employeescan be bribed. Also "Marine's Let'sGo" which shows the worse side of our Navy.

It is true these pictures are supposed to be comedy, however I feel there are some things that should be sacred and I believe anything pretaining to our Government should come under that , Category. VerY Lt6 lmc,la ~ _V g K. L Return address as on envelope: ' """' 92-_.-P" ->1-r|¢~-| >.92;

Not withstanding the above, our Las Vegas Division has not overlooked the possibility there was foul play in connection with the Deputy sheriff. A specific inquiry was initiated to determine whether any hoodlums had been brought in from out of state to cause the death of Deputy Sheriff Anderson following his argument with Sinatra. To date no pertinent information reflecting upon the possibility of imported hoodlums being brought in to Nevada for this purpose has been developed.

Frank Sinatra through the years has been associated with some of the most infamous individuals of modern times. During the 1930s when he was growing up in New Jersey, he was reportedly_befriended by Willie Moretti, former underworld boss of Bergen County, New Jersey, and cousin of the notorious Joe Adonis. In later years Sinatra sang at the wedding of Willie Moretti's daughter.

In the 40s Sinatra's name was linked with such well-known CharlesLuckyLuciano,hoodlums as Joseph and Rocco Fischetti, ang,James Tarantino, members associateof the of Benjamin Capone gang, Bugsey" Seigel and edito and publisher of the magazine Hollywood Night Life." . _ - -

.&.. Newspapers on February 20, 1947, reported that FTank_ Sinatra had beenwip Havana, Cuba, for four days the previous week and that fhis companion in public and private was Luciano, Luc1ano's bodygeard'inda rich collection of gamblers and high-binders." The article indicated that Luciano and Sinatra were seen together at the racetracks, the gambling casinos and at special parties.

~~A September 11, 1947, column of Westbrook Pegler reported that when Frank Sinatra flew to Havana, Cuba, on February ll, 1947, he was accompanied by Joe and Rocco Fischetti.~~

In recent years considerable information has been reported concerning Sinatra ties with Sam Giancana. Reports of the use of Sinatra'sPalm Springs home by Giancana and Phyllis McGuire and Giancana's disappointment in Sinatra's inability to get the administration to tone down its efforts in the Anti-Racketeering field constitutes the most significant information developed. On at least two occasions in past years Sinatra has been in Atlantic City taking over an entire C floor of one of the major hotels for anprivate party which lasted several weeks and included hoodlum guests such as Giancana, the Fischettis and Joe Bonanno of Phoenix.

Until he was recently ordered to sell his interests in Las Vegas, Sinatra owned a percentage of the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas and was 100% owner of the Cal-Neva Lodge at Lake Tahoe. Informants have speculated that Sinatra was merely a front for hoodlum money invested in these gambling casinos. Bnring the last year of operation, the Cal-Neva Lodge was managed by Paul "Skinny" D'Amato, 1ongtime friend of Sinatra who also has a hoodlum background and has for years operated the 500 Club in Atlantic City.

For further information Bureau and New York, RUDIN furnished literature received by him from the Anti-Defamation , . League ADL!, Pacific Southwest Region, and other memos from J the ADL concerning SPIRO AGNEW. In the memos and publications, ...:~- ~.g1 the ADL states that"AGNEW has engaged in classical antisemitism r. ,' of the Nazi variety, and that because of his business affilia- tions with the Arabs this has led him to become a propagandist of the most evil kind." Further, the ADL in a digest dated July and August 1976 contained an article captioned "SPIRO AGNEW The New Darling of the Hate Press."

RUBIN stated it is well known that FRANK SINATRA is a close personal friend of SPIRO AGNEW and that many letters from individuals, known and unknown, have recently been received by SINATRA which all express concern over his SINATRA's! association and friendship with AGNEW. No letters to date, except the one postmarked 7/29/76 in Flushing, New York, con- .-. tained a threat against SINATRA. '

In the group of letters received by SINATRA . . . . mentioned above, was one which is enclosed, numbers 3 ann A oflisted above,thisletter also postmarkedreflectsthe atwrite Flushi QueensJNew_York_,_ New York. Review . 53 A70 states in part,"...However when we rea a e attended your wedding and is such a good friend of yours, we all feel very 1 badly. It will give the public the idea of guilt by association." i The letter also states, "...I hope we will read that you will repudiate him, or we will have to lose faith in you FRANK."

1% On B/9/75 facts in this matter were discussed with W / AUSA EARL B. BOYD, Los Angeles, who stated that the wording in the letter received in the envelope addressed to FRANK SINATRA postmarked 7/29/76 at " shing, New York, was a technical violation of the Extortion Statute and therefore AUSA BOYD requested a logical investigation to identify the unsub, and that AUSA BOYD would consider prosecution. -

SINATRA scheduled to be in New York City 8/21-27/76 and will be residing at the Waldorf Astoria, for per- V formances in Saratoga, New York, and Holmdel, New Jersey. _

I have long ceased to believe everything I read in the newspapers or see in other media, however the New York Times Op- i Ed page! edition today carries quite a verbatim interview I with Spiro Agnew. Hi§_§gntiment§_gn_the "ZlOH1§IS is terribly i Ln gnjgrtynatggJg§p§ciajly_today, There is so much hatred, caused by bigotry, lust for oil, money or whatever the reason, that his remarks can only tend to incite more hatred...not much more is needed to justify the Palestine guerrilas or the Israeli guerrilas. with the backing of u former Vice President the outpouring of more killing and bloodshed could very well take 92 place. Im only writing this, because you have befriended him in his 1 hour of need, we know you to be a most compassionate man and i perhaps somehow, in some manner, you can be instrumental in stilling this kind of horrible prapaganda. HHAT THEHORLD NEEDS NON IS LOVE - LOTS OF IT - the entire world is in such trouble that any word or deed can touch off another holocaust. I trust you are well your appearances are greater than ever - both your singing and delivery are still most unique.

I was shocked to hear about the anti- semetic campaign Spiro Agnew is waging against the Jews. His book is a modern edition of hein Kamnf. The Jews have enough trouble without him fanning the flames of hatred.

Knowing Frank over the years, I can say that he has always been a genuine champion of minority causes, religious and racial. lt made me sick to my stomach to hear him gloat over the airwaves and say, Sinatra is my best friend and he gave me large sums of money.

Hell. is that a way to repay a friend, who had friends like the late Manic Sacks and George Evans, plus the many friends he still retains like yourself. Halter Annennherz. Jerry weintraub and I will include myself amongst many others.

~~Because of his bitterness and hatred against the New York Times, The washinrton Post and the Media, he elected to spit out his venom aqainst all the Jews. what harm did I personally do him?~~

~~will his hatred subside with the burning of the rest of the Jews that Hitler missed? will his bitterness bring back hLF Vice Presidency?~~

Agnew blames the Jews for his undoing. instead of blaming himself because of his greed for money. The nan upstairs is the one who exposed him, because HE didn't want another Hitler as a President of tne United States of America, and I thank GOD.

~~I trust that Frank will have second thoughts about Agnew and come out with a statement. with kindest regards to Frank and yourself. I am,~~

~~It was determined that the typewriting on specimens Q1 and Q2 was prepared on an IBM typewriter equipped with Prestige Elite type spaced twelve letters to the inch.~~

Since the typewriting on specimens Q1 and Q2 of this case is different from the typewriting on documents received from your office with a communication dated August 9, 1976, the Laboratory is not consolidating specimens Q1 and Q2 with the previously received case which is being handled under Bureau file 96l979.
