FLETCHER / AL ZHE. BUREAU AT 8:30 AM, 7/7/47 b 7 L Attached are newspaper clippings from the ki Sentinel and Milwaukee Journal of July 7, 1947. For the Bureau's information, United Press and Associated Press telephoned me at my residence about three or four times between 1:00 A.M. and 2:30 AeMey Julyy7, 1947. The United Fress representative informed m that Father JOSEPHKSRASKY had stated on interview by a Milwaukee Sentinel reporter, oho BILL WEEKS , (Phonetic) that he, ’ Father BRASKY, was going to call the rBl concerning the contraption, which apparently was identical with one of the flying discs recently publicized throughout the country. The United Press representative desired to kmow if we had any statement to make on the mtter. I informed him that I had no official comment, other than "No Comment." Since I have contacted the United Press representative on ‘various occasions, I asked him what the actual details were, and he stated he did not lmow excant that the intervie of the priest reflscted that a circular saw had been found with some devices attached to it. The Associated Press called me shortly after the United Press reprasentative did, and on being’ advised that I had no comment to make concernins the story, I asked the Associated Press revresenta~ tive what the actual facts ware, and he informed me that as far as the ‘ Associated Press was concerned, the facts were that a circular saw had been found and a story had been obtained from a priest who had been drinking quite heavily. The Associated Press representative informed . me that apparently the United Press desired to pet a statenent from me denying or affirming that the FBI was investigating the mtter, I informed the Associated Press representative that apparently someone was suffering under a misinterpretation of any comment I had made, and possibly soma reporter was in an 9 Daas RTT on if a story had a> gone out oven, fb 8 sorvices, Lp. ne wage Y “fy thon to Bp ORD ED the, 1a rhea rest reprecentative, Who 7 peparen ntly in the meantime had been éalled’ by fhe Associated Press eae in offort “to straighton out the United Press.
