4. Spoke with the secretary to Rep. Wadsworth, (Mr. Eiker) and indicated our
concern in the matter of Governor Dewey's comments on intelligence at Milwaukee,
with the additional thought that intelligence should not be the subject of poli-
tical debate, nor should one in the Governor's position be so ill-informed or
badly advised. A subsequent call to Mr. Schwartz reemphasized this position,
which he promised to transmit to the Governor.
Mr. Schwartz called to state that he had passed our message on to Albany,
and that they were greatly concerned about it. They have agreed that, as a court
of last resort, they would accept any statement which Mr. Allen Dulles cared to
make on the subject to the Governor. It was further requested that we talk to
Mr. Dulles to ascertain whether he would be willing to make a statement on our
behalf in this connection. The matter was referred to the Director for action.
