y UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION In Reply, Please Refer to Tampa, Florida ‘ File No June 23, 1969 LET FREEDOM RING A recording of the message entitled, "Let Freedom Ring" was obtained on June 17, 1969 by dialing St. Petersburg, Florida telephone number 896-1373. “Let Freedom Ring. Supreme-Court Justice William O. Douglas, like his good friend, A Fortas, has some interesting financial connections. In 1966, it developed that Douglas was receiving $12,000.00 a year from the non- profit Parvin Foundation which has ties with Las Vegas gambling interests. This would appear to be a highly questionable source of income for a Supreme Court Justice who is well paid by the American people to interpret the law. Alfred Parvin, the donor and for whom the foundation was named that paid Douglas, was named as an alleged co- conspirator in a stock manipulation case with Lewis Wolfson. This is the same Wolfson in the famous $20,000.00 a year payoff to former Justice Abe Fortas. When it leaked out that Douglas has interesting financial ties either directly or indirectly with Wolfson and Fortas, the secretary of the Parvin Foundation quickly announced that he would have an independent analyst demonstrate Douglas' benefactor, the Las Vegas connected Parvin Foundation, was beyond reproach and the so-called independent analyst turned out to be one Carolyn Agger. Carolyn Agger happens to be Mrs. Abe Fortas. Not suprisingly, Mrs. Abe Fortas found nothing wrong with Douglas' other employer, the Parvin Foundation. Douglas was renamed President until recently when for some reason, he decided to resign. Douglas is also mixed up with another shadey outfit called, The Fund for the Republic. More on this and Douglas' pro-communist activities next week. Meantime, for more specific information on Justice Douglas and the nine-man dictatorship called the Supreme Court, send 35¢ in coin to Supreme Court, Box 1775, Sarasota, Florida, 33578. Let Freedom Ring." ~ _ eer
