Edgar Hoover, Director, a Federal Bureau of Investigation 2 _ { Washingtm, D. C. Dear Edgars a ‘Thank you very much for the kind note of October lth and the enclosed article, *Commnist Illusion and Democratic Reality". I have read it with a great deal of interest and,as is always the case after reading some of your writings and utterances, I find myself approaching this most serious question better armed with informatio and kmowledge and better equipped with a basic reasonable approach which mst be accepted a before the final solution to these problems can prevail. - I was also quite disturbed last week to find that there was a situation here at Desiln which had inadvertently come about, which caused some concern on the part of the Bureau representatives, We have had one eting so far and are plaming another meeting for 11:30 today which I am sure will eliminate any cause for concern on the part of your reat organisation. Webb Burke, the new S.A.C. of the Los Angeles. ffice, is coming ot to meet with Desi and I am sure that all the ifferences will be ironed out very quickly and to the satisfaction of all concemed, Tt is shocking to many of us to see some of the formerly well known and - active Communists coming back into circulation in the picture industry and also to watch the behavior of certain producers in apparently trying to Promote the foreign cause as they did some years ago. | ots } we As you know, from time to time I an asked to appear at poblic functi and address large groups end I never miss an opportunity to touch on SO - , this particular aspect of American life and point out some of the dangers obs oe and problems which beset us now and will destroy us in the future if the usual complacent attitude of the generel public prevails, It is an un--: - | fortunate thing to realise that from time to time we have to use the a shock treatment to scare our public out of their general apathy and into ~ a condition that makes them pay just the ordinary amount of attention ; -| to the benefits of this great oe ee of ie which we ,all enjoy OF!
