I am very much surprised by your letter soley the investigation of Mre. Helm. TI am also Lhinw | surprised to learn that some one hag been ! making inquiries about Mise Thompson at her apartment house as to when she goes, how much company she has, Thia type of investigation seem@! Pe SUREBU OF INVESTICATO amack too much of the Gestapo met ae The explanation that the invest e ‘ Mrs. Helm 1a a mistake, seens rhegsten sf OF J, CE inefficiency on the part of the, person wh ordered it. I am not blazting the man who conducted this investiga he was merely carrying out orders. However, anyone who cared to avoid such a mistake ‘ would only have had to look at the question- aire which Mre. Helm filled out last summer to realize that she has been attached to | the White House ever since we have been Pe eh) here, and incidentally that her father and husband nad be'en Admirals in the Navy. I can not help resenting deeply the action in these two cases and if you have done this type of investigating of other people, I do not wonder that we are beginning to get an extremely jittery population.
