He stated that Mrerfhite, ‘ the New York Manager of the Universal News Service, had communi- cated with him suggesting that he make inquiries with a view to writing up interesting angles of the Capone case. When I was in Ner York recently talking with Mr. SicCarthy of the King Features Eyndicate, he indicateo that Mr. White might cell at the Bureau and request you to place him in touch with Mr. Irey. You will recall that efforts were made to make an appointment for Mr. Mc- Carthy to see iir. Irey when Mr. dcCarthy was in the city. ir. Lewis knew nothing of the background of the Capone case and I gave hin no information with respect to your conversation with liessrs. Lait and iicCarthy other than to state that they talked with you about the Capone case and were advised by you that the real Capone story was not contained in the files of this Bureau but that Colonel Woodcock and Mr. Irey might be able to furnish data concern~ ing angles of the Capone case handled by tneir services. Mr. Lewis aoneared to be entirely setisfied with this statement and indicated that he would contact Mr. Irey and Colonel Woodcock. He stated he did not believe that the Contempt of Court angle would be of any particular interest but, if so instructed by the New York headquarters, he might return with a request for informetion concerning the Contempt of Court angle from this Bureau.
