v,? ~ eamenenentneianaane, \ EXECUTIVE OFFICES : July 3, 1963 . Mr. J. Edgar Hoover a) . Federal Bureau of Investigation t ¢ ! hain t ” DR WwW ‘md WaSoingron, Me t at Py . : i Dear Mr. Hoover: In passing through the crowded Grand Central Station yesterday, about 12:30 p.m., I observed a man who bore a strik-~ &) ing facial similarity to the missing British diplomat, Harold "Philby, whose full face photo was on Page One of the NewYork Herald Tribune the same morning 440i ag2i@ 22 364 62> wes aaah se AR This man's face seemed familiar as I passed him in the crowd. It puzzled me. I took a second look and then associated the face with the picture I had seen in the Herald Tribune that morning for the first time, although the man's face seemed less fleshy than as shown in the picture. This man was wearing a loose grey suit, not too dark. I seem to remember a subdued check, but can't be sure. He did not wear or carry a hat, ard seemed to be looking for someone in the crowd. He appeared Slenderish, and not too heavy. I would guess about 5 feet, 8 inches tall. However, this incident has been nagging at me even though I know this man is reported somewhere behind the Iron Curtain, and, upon reflection, decided I had better report it, even though it may sound crazy and,in all probability, has no merit whatever. ? a be ft a JUL 161963
