Director, FBI ‘ September 14, 1951 SAC, New York JAHAM (Bufile 74-1333) Re Philedelphia letter to the Bureau, attention FBI Laboratory, of Jul2-51, fs the Bureau is eware, and for the definite information of the Philedelphia Office, exhibit K-35, a letter of DAISY FANSLER to Miss EMMA tL. HELLINGS of the Philedelphia Free Library wes forwarded by the FBI Laboratory to the New York Office at the commencement of the first trial of ALGER HISS, and in turn it was turned over to SAAG Thomas J. Donegan for use es a trial exhibit es a know specimen of the typing of the Woodstock typewriter owned by the HISSES. This exhibit remains in the possession of Mr. Donegen. fg the Bureau is avare, and for the information of Philedelphie, in- quirtes are being made even at this date by individuels who represent then~ selves es investigators for ettorneys of ALGER HISS. The current line of their inquiries appears to be devoted to en effort to disprove that portion of the Government's case which established that the questioned documents were typed by the same typewriter as typed the known specimens. It would thus appear thet at any date some new lesel maneuver micht be utilized by HISS' attorneys ian en effort to obtein a rehearing of this case. Since en exhibit such as K-35 would te of immediate need and value to the Government attorneys in de- fending such an action, it is felt thet this exhibit should remain in the hanés of Government attorneys for the present tine.
