Since 1947 he has been in touch with the Bureau on numerous occasions making repeated efforts to arrange for an interview with the Director on ;one pretext or another with the objective of writing an article or 1 jbiography of the Director. As an author and biographer, Kornitzer 1 has been in contact with many leading political personalities in the . J - fU.S. and has authored several books including one oh the Eisenhower w92 92'brothers in 1955 and another on former Vice President Nixon in 1960. Kornitzer, while disclaiming to be a "name-dropper frequently - _ Juses this technique. In l947_a Bureau official described Kornitzer as a smooth-talking, fast-operating,tricky individual who would use la contact with the Director to his advantage in meeting other iindividuals. a ' Extensive investigati <%'erning Karadv

Tr¬EsI§tsr'sThis address Note: is gs; completesince the writer, who has written before, assumes that the Director knows the full address!. 92 The communicationis undateggThe writerhas justlearned of. the air crash in which Senator Edwar ennedy was involved. He is very sympatheticand wishes to conv or his» bestwishes fora prompt recovery also on behalfof the majority of Italian boys and girls.

Since he does -not know the Senator's addressand has been _ corresponding with the Director, he hopes that the Director will forward the remainingportion ofthe letter to Mr. Edward Kennedywhom he addresses personally.

In the portion of the letter addressed to Senator Edward Kennedy, the writer encourages theSenator to look forward to a brilliant future, pointing out that the cloiud which has cast a temporary Shadow onhis life will soon disappear "under *a- mostresplendent sun.

g He wants the Senator to know that he is not the son of an important man, but the son of humble workers, a "capacity which, in his estimation, makes him entitled to interpret the feelings of the Italian working peoplebest.

F The lettercloses a few withwords addressed againthe Director to L! . to thank him, together with the Agents and Interpreter, for the "cumulative effort" which will make his message reach SenatorKennedy. » Q4, as -96-0 Znszass_, ..

arranged for a fellow student to take an examination for him in a foreign language course during his second semester at Harvard. When school officials learnedof this, both students were asked to withdraw and apply for readmission later.

In July, 1961, Edward Kennedy made a tour of Central and South American countries. During this visit, he expressed an.interest in meeting with "Leftists" to talk with them and to determine why they think as they do. He met with a number of individuals known to have communist sympathies. The Ambassador to Mexico refused his request to invite left-wingers to the American Embassy. <5! 92|

He was reported to have dined in August, 1961, -with Dr. Lauchlin Currie, former White House Aide to President Roosevelt. Currie's namehad been mentioned in Washington investigations of Soviet spy rings.

The Bureau¥s relationship with Mr. Kennedy since he entered the U. S. Senate has been primarily concerned with matters of an official nature; however, the Director has had limited cordial correspondence with him during that time.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the attached letter be forwarded to Senator Edward M. Kennedy, advising him that the Director will be glad to provide him with the requested essay.

Dear Senator Kennedy, Last weekI hadpleasure ofvisting WashingtonD. C. for the first time. I also had the great pleasure of visiting the beautiful monuments /and institutionswhich havemade ournation's world-famous. capitol Oneof my visits was to the FBI, conducted forus by a future FBI special agent. As I saw the many techniquesof the FBI, as well as its responsibilities, noticed a sign which said that the FBI does investigate conspiraciesof any person s! directed toward depriving any U. S. citizen of his constitu- tionally guaranteed rights and privileges . The pamphletabout the FBI's role in these matters is entitled "The FBI. . . Guardian of Civil Rights" states that ". . . the FBI has authority to investigate. . . conspiracies to deprive a citizen of the free exercise or enjoyment of'any orright privilege secured to him by the constitution or laws of the United States and conspiracies against citizens resulting from their exercise of such rights. . . " Webster defines "conspiracy" as a secret planning together. ' After the tour ended, I happened to walk around to the other side of the justice department building and seethe American Nazi Party picketing the department andAttorney GeneralKatzenbach foradvocating the Home Rule in Washington D. C. They carried such disgusting signs as "Jail LBJ for advocating Black Rule" and "Home Rule is Black Rule, " etc. Earlier this summer I saw this same group carry similarly dis- gusting and deceitful signs in front of the park in Wilmette Ill. where Martin Luther King spoke. Even though I am not a lawyer, I still strongly believe that it is profoundly unjust for such groups to be allowed to freely, openly as well as secretly, operate and actively try and accom- plish its aims. Therefore I am asking you, as one of the members of the Senate JudiciaryCommittee toinvestigate thisvery gravesituation the Ku Klux Klan and other rightest groups also being engaged insimilar activities.! Thank you very much , it ;g Sincerely_ yoursJ WC /S/Iii ~ P. S. I have also written to Senator Dirksen W _ ' . '92 nncrosuam es» 5757 512/, . V v ,, _ <_ruvI1U1~:IlI*!1+92 ' ',-22-64!

THREAT AGAINST SENATOR EDWARD M. KENNEDY INFORMATION CONCERNING

ry 10 'dentifying herself as b6 IRixeyville, Virginia, Mrs.advised she was calling , | long distance frgm jb7C Rixeyville to warn of a plot to assassinate Senator Edward M. Kennedy on the steps of the Capitol Building in Washington,D.C. at 4 p.m. on January ll, 1966. _

She stated she became aware of this plot when voices she had been hearing since last July or August had instructed her to perform the assassination. Although she later stated she had seen some "people" she could not further identify, outside her window last night, she stated initially she had never seen these people, did not know who they were and explained their ability to communicate with her by the fact the "house is wired." These voices had told her they had selected her to act on their behalf since she was attractive and could get close enough to the Senator to be able to shoot him. "They" were to pick her up at 8:30 a.m. January ll, 1966, to take her to Washington, D.C. and claimed that if she told anyone "they" would wipe out the whole Kennedy family. When asked for information regarding her background, b6 she stated the] Iwas a cattle farm in Culpepper b7C County, Virginia and she was not under a doctor's care at the present time. She admitted having an "alcohol problem" and to having been committed to the Westbrook_Sanitorium, Richmond, Virginia, in August 1965, for two or three weeks. She heard the voices there also, and was told they were the result of "DT's" but she did not believe it. She explained she heard the,voices mainly when her nerves are bad and she had been drinking. She stated she was calling from telephone number West 7329l and her husband was not home. When asked who was with her, she stated her aunt and uncle were there and when asked if her uncle would come to the telephone, she stated "he would just tell you I'm crazy," and then hung up. .

On January 10, 1966, at corresponding times, the Ib6 " 0 '6 ' 'uals were advised of the foregoing: blc C6/W wieb ///7/4; ENQLCYSURE i 575752 - M Z7 Q P v _ 92*'~-0

Yesterday Sunday! I was warned that "some peoplein the I neighborhood don't want any Feds around." I mentioned to no one the possibility of Agents showing upin the neighborhood. Please I realize that my position today with the mob is extremely tenuous I

and the hoods are not about to take much more nonsense from me. Not that I'm involved in any way anymore in crusading / .. V! : 1 activities beyondlipping off once ina while when themgod hitsme. an But as harmless as the phone call to the FBI cmmxx seem¬Ythe information I conveyed, thehoods areconstantly waryof me or of any calls I ii might make to the FBI. I followed up the phone call to the Manhattan I office with a letter, giving fuller details of the threat and the i J 'ndividual making it. 1 Another leak I discovered occurred about 8 months ago. It had been falsely rumored that I had sold out to the mob. Who

started the rumor I don*t know. I had written a letter at the time to the FBI's Manhattan office denying the rumor and lamenting my tribulations with the rackets over the years. While in mob circles a week later I overhead a conversation relating to the contents of my letter to the FBI. While I had nothing revealing or earth-shakingin myletter, which could bedismissed as an ordinary letter,could be easily mistaken as something of informative A value possibly feared by the mob, which could place my life in é it jeopardy.had to But be a sinceleak thesince mob I had knewmentioned of the contentsit to noof the else.letter,one ix 5 The possibility of leaks is just between you and me and not for broadcast, but would be willing to help your office trace them out should you be so willing.

left arm and shoulder. Sometimes thepain is so intense and paralyzing that it stops me cold when walking in the street. My 1 physician is trying to find out the causeof the pain, which he qttributeglpartly palpitationto ofthe heart,leading muscularto spasm? Ironically,I getno pain, or rather don'tI a y feel ain at allwhen it boozing up,and been I've plenty doing/ of;¬%¬?¬ately; sour grapes I guess. v Frankly,don't I look forwardparticularlyto tracingout the ' §1 leaks, though I've learnedto be pretty good at this sort of a thing, J- I'mthe not old workhorse anymore and wilt easierunder pressure. _ *< Moreover, theloss of my legdoesn't it makeeasier.

this sort of thing is risky business, but having my life threatened 92 more than 30 times directly or indirectly over a period of years, one § . H 92 gets used to this sort of thing. For that matter *'m doingpretty good mug si in this respect lately. I haven'tbeen threated outright for more than six months.inst Thelast oneoccurred NewYear'son at night day

when walking with my wife. A gink popped out of no where and threatened ,* to knock me off. I told the wife to keeping walking and the incident was overlboked. At least my wife got the opportunity to see what 1 I had been going throughaux over the years. What xhexthreaxprovoked 1 the threat, I don'tknow, but sometimes Ive got a big fat mouth and chances are I provoked a hood when 1 had a half a load on. Frankly I'venever been quite the same uponlearning of the pipeline themob ha?'intothe White House. I, like many others, looked at the presidency as the Great White Father, and discovery of the pipelineproved ouitedisillusioning.

It turned out the cops were keeping a "phony" file on me though I have no criminal record of any sort. A detective from the iiin unit insisted with my wife that I had
