Street, Washington, D.C., Major Donald Keyhoe, Director. Mr. Stringfield noted that the personnel of this committee are made up of civilian personnel. Qn October 2, 1961, Mr. Stringfield advised the Cincinnati Office, FBI, Cincinnati, Ohio, that he had noted an article in the Sunday edition of the Cineinnati Enquirer, October 1, 1961, on page 1, section E, under the caption, "Offbeat! Washington", which contained one paragraph, "Some Defense Department bigwigs are apprehensive that Russia will climax its campaign of intimidation by a spectacular explosion in space--an immense nuclear blast visible to hundreds of millions of people. These officials believe that the Soviet Union has the capability of setting off such an explosion 200 miles or so above the earth where it could be seen from many eountries." Mr. Stringfield advised that the above paragraph was printed as a reprint from the Herald Tribune News Service, Washington, D.C., and that this article seemed to tie in well with what the ealler had related to Mr. Stringfield in the anonymous telephone call on September 25, 1961.
