While talking to Agent in Charge Dunn at Los Angeles on another matter he atated that he had been considering sending a telegran to. the Division with erence to the request of the head of the gangsters’ squad of th @ AngeleayYolice Department for cooperation of the Division in connection with the tapping of wires leading into the night club and restaurant frequented He tne lay > yesterday the chief of this squad came to him and advised that the before they had been informed that a call had been received for one#Brock at this club from a man by the name of Miller at Kansas City;, that in view of the possibility that thie Miller might be the Verne-Miller we are looking for he thought we would cooperate with | the police in supervising these telephone wires. He stated that the . police were equipped with the necessary apperatus and men but hesitated to use the same through reason of the rather stringent state law against wire tapping, whereas if they had the cooperation of this Division they would probably be safe in making the tap. I told Agent in Charge Dunn that he should withhold any acquiescame in this plan until he heard from the Division. I have in mind, of course, thet while we have been suthorised to cut in on wires in the Kansas City massacre case, it might be well to obtain special permission from the Departwent in this particular case because of the California State Law. I told Dunn we would advise him later and if you desire I will take the matter up with the Criminal Division. fae ¢ 5 a Lb c I Respeatfuliy yc OF FVEST ERICH Uo ooon # Wt ae ae Let OCT 4 - 1933
