HARZENSTEIN SUBJECT: JAHAM On 3/10/52, SA GUS FARR telephoned from Baltimore on the instructions of Assistant Director A. BELMONT. He said that a letter would be forthcoming from Baltimore regarding the matter, but that he wished to alert this office in advance. A complaint had been made to the United States Attorney by a lawyer that LEISMAN had told this lawyer that some Agent had accused him of being a Commnist in the course of an interview with one of his relatives, un- specified, Accordingly, the Bureau desired a letter from each office which had conducted an interview with a relative of LEISMAN setting forth that had transpired in the interview and particularly whether any comment had been made regarding Communist connections on the part of LEISMAN. Copies were to go to the Eurean, New York and Baltimore, the Eureau copies being marked for the attention of Assistant Director BELMONT. The Agents' own memoranda were not to be sent. This information was imparted to SA HELLEBERG who was at thet time in Philadelphia. Since the interview had been conducted by him in conjunction with SA ZIMMERMAN and since he was about to leave for State College, this being the end of the day, it was agreed that immediately on his arrival at State College he and ZIMMERMAN would prepare the necessary memorandum and would send it at once to Philadelphia so that it would reach here in time for an immediate reply to the anticipated Baltimore letter.
