-fa COPY ~%, oe FBI Report 6/28/18 Richmond, Virgin Special Agent Claude E. Willis, Jrei ith confidential informant who is believed reliable, furnished signed statement June 24, 1948, and advised that she 1s willing totecstify before Loyalty Board provided her identity in not revealed to the enplayec. tas I remomber Mr. 4M when he lived in the @immeme Apartment, @@ER New Hampshire Avarus, Ne We, Washington, ». Ce, in about 1939 and 1940, I would consider his actions to indicate that he was disloyal to the United States Government.

I believe Mr. AUN was a member of the digiTRGMMGEA Organization, because he tried to sell the principals of the organization to two of the elevator operators which he intimated to be operators as being better than our American way. He frequently talked about their low pay and long working hours. Ha seamed to me to be a fanatic on anything pertaining to labor, to unions, to conditions under which Americans work, and th: pay scalese This to me was an indication that Mr. GURNEE might bo a Conmmist, "Another reason which makes me think that he might be a Commamist is that he gave out literature which I heard supported the Spanish Lleyalists, which group I recall was supported by the Commmists of Russia at that timee I know that Mr. SRG was receiving mil from Spain because —~ Witness: Claude E.
