File No June 23, 1969
LET FREEDOM RING
A recording of the message entitled, "Let Freedom
Ring" was obtained on June 17, 1969 by dialing St. Petersburg,
Florida telephone number 896-1373.
“Let Freedom Ring. Supreme-Court Justice William
O. Douglas, like his good friend, A Fortas, has some
interesting financial connections. In 1966, it developed
that Douglas was receiving $12,000.00 a year from the non-
profit Parvin Foundation which has ties with Las Vegas
gambling interests. This would appear to be a highly
questionable source of income for a Supreme Court Justice
who is well paid by the American people to interpret the
law. Alfred Parvin, the donor and for whom the foundation
was named that paid Douglas, was named as an alleged co-
conspirator in a stock manipulation case with Lewis Wolfson.
This is the same Wolfson in the famous $20,000.00 a year
payoff to former Justice Abe Fortas. When it leaked out that
Douglas has interesting financial ties either directly or
indirectly with Wolfson and Fortas, the secretary of the
Parvin Foundation quickly announced that he would have an
independent analyst demonstrate Douglas' benefactor, the
Las Vegas connected Parvin Foundation, was beyond reproach
and the so-called independent analyst turned out to be one
Carolyn Agger. Carolyn Agger happens to be Mrs. Abe Fortas.
Not suprisingly, Mrs. Abe Fortas found nothing wrong with
Douglas' other employer, the Parvin Foundation. Douglas
was renamed President until recently when for some reason,
he decided to resign. Douglas is also mixed up with another
shadey outfit called, The Fund for the Republic.
More on this and Douglas' pro-communist activities
next week. Meantime, for more specific information on Justice
Douglas and the nine-man dictatorship called the Supreme Court,
send 35¢ in coin to Supreme Court, Box 1775, Sarasota, Florida,
33578. Let Freedom Ring."
