STAT SUBJECT:
- Contact with representatives of Public
1. Mr. Herbert B. Swope Jr., a television producer whom I have never met,
phoned me at my house from New York last evening. His wife is an old
friend of mine. He said that he is producing an hour and a half TV
show on June 19th called "Remember 1938" to be broadcast from Hollywood.
He asked me to take part in this show to be MC'd by Grouoho Marx. I
was delighted to decline.
2. Mr. Swope then said that he planned to "dramatize" a couple of episodes
in which I was involved. Would I help him as "technical adviser" and
25X1A woul and I be their guests for a quick trip out and back at
the Clme or e broadcast?
3. Since these "episodes" have been pretty widely published, are harmless
and to me, dull, I see no security problems involved. If we should make
this free junket, I would get permission from Security before so doing.
