PH 80-239 BLAT was made dean of the foundation and recommended SILVERMASTER and ULLMAN as members of the Board of Directors. This was blocked by DAVIES. DAVIES stated that he has furnished all of this information to the FBI before in greater detailTo sy~ 4% W* det DAVIES said that he has known PHILIP KLEIN for over 20 years since KLEIN is in the advertising business and DAVIES was vice-president of the Gimbels Broadcasting Company. He said that KLEIN has always been an eccentric and was largely regarded as a clown. He said that KLEIN married wealth and it was his recollec- tion that he married into the Buten Paint family. During World War II, KLEIN was in the Merchant Marine and DAVIES would occa- Sionally see him dressed in a black sweater with a huge beard and uncut, uncombed shock of hair. He believes that KLEIN was on the Murmansk run. After the end of the war, KLEIN bought the Jewish. Ex- ponent, newspaper in Philadelphia. This was formerly located in the 1900 block on Spruce Street. Thereafter, KLEIN and his wife appeared for about a year on a radio program called "Mr. and Mrs," on Radio Station WPEN. DAVIES said that the remarks became such offensive propaganda that the station finally put them off the air. According to DAVIES, KLEIN and BLAI were boon companions of the ULLMANs and the SILVERMASTERs. He also said that another friendof KLEIN's is EAM E is counsel for the foundation. It was through KLEIN tha GNAL was made counsel. DAVIES said that there is no question but that SILVERMASTER and ULLMAN actually run the foundation although there is no ostensible connection with it on their part. He said that as an example, KLEIN tried to persuade the Board of Directors to sell 33 acres at Harvey Cedars for building purposes and that of course SILVERMASTER and ULLMAN would have profited as builders had the deal gone through. DAVIES further said that in Support of his conclusion that the entire colony was Communist-dominated that STEVE NELSON had been hiding while underground at Harvey Cedars. DAVIES also said that the Chief of Police at Harvey Cedars, ART SCHRIZEN (ph.) had entered ULLMAN's home on a fire pretext and found there a complete dark room equipped to handle microfilm. DAVIES believes that SCHRIZEN was later interviewed by Newark agents, He also commented that 1D) SEN, a painter, would make an excellent source of information at ey Cedars for Newark agents. -2.- \ Ge RO eg AEP
