re AO PNR tain Cott tg aA te Mi Be OT EA ee 8 her by Julia Kraus at the instization of von Gienanth. SAC uckee, in conclusion, wished to be advised of the Sureauts attitude regarding a possible interview with William Randolph hearstin this case, in view of the fact that informa- tion was subritted to the Los Anzeles Field Office by a confiden- tial source tnatHearst was contactec by Inralls. This contact avesrently occurred sometime durin; the summer of 1941, and she alle gedly stated to the informant that Hearst was reacy to finance her flicht to Europe, and then to let her work for the Eearst pavers in Sernany as a corressondent. However, when the State Desartmert refused to issue her a passport, dearst did not wish to so further with the plans. When she offered to co without a passport, licearst revortedly was afraid he sisht become involved in some unpleasant developments. Ingalls expressed the opinion that in the event she once vot to Germany she could again take up her contact withnearst wnere it haa previously terminated. The above nezotations anosarently were with reference te In-allis' plan for a flight to Germany to further a peace plan and to a@avise the German people that the American public was not being tole the truth with reference to the war. SAC ccKee was advised to hola in abevance am lead with reference to the interview of nearest, and, rending advice from you, no further action will be taken aélonz these lines. This contact witn Hearst apparently, af actually consuzmated, would not necessarily add any informa- don of an evidentiary velue to the instant case. An additional factor that may be of interest to you with reference to this case is that a teletype was received from the hew York Office on Decerber 19, 1941, in the case entitled "ars. Evnel F. Brighan, with alias; Internal Security." As you will recall, irs. Etnel F. Brighar was the subject of a merorandum to the Attorney General on Noverber 3, 1941, to the effect that she and other members of her farily were fanatically pro-Nazi and that a dauchter of the farily, presumably Barbara Brichan, had indicated to Pare Ellinzer, of hew York City, that there is an organization of 500,000 me.bers in the United States ready te take up arms azainst the President if this country enters the war. The Furetu is currently investigating the Brigham facily.
