Another correspondent, Normamt?gn Amburgh, of Luanghorne, Penr sylvania, indicated that two new books, "The Passion of the Hawks, by Tristram Coffin and ?The Military Establishment, by John Swomley, as well as a new movie, ?Dr. Strangelove or: How IIearned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, produced by Stanley Kub: ick, also disparage the Pentagon.

Casey becomes convinced that a military coup d'etat is being hatched by General Scott and a group of his military associates to take place the following weekend during an alert evacuation from Washington of top Government officials; including Lyman. Alarmed, Casey goes secretly to the White House and informs Lyman of the plot. Scott is about to make his bid for power because he feels that Lyman is ?soft on communism that democracy has reached low ebb in the United States, and that the Nation needs a strong hand to save it Ircm disaster. After taking action to prevent a military take -eov r, Lyman confronts Scott with his knowledge of the cabal and breaks him. He forces Scott's resignation, along with three other members of the Joint Chiefs and five field commanders.

It is noted in his testimony that he said he abhorled the communist lphiIOSOphy. In the 1940's Reagan was reportedly a member of Americans for Democratic Action and the American Veterans Committee.

RONALD WILSON AGAN ATOMIC ENERGY ACT APPLICANT W. V. Clevela ?r This is to advise the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) has requested a background investigation of Reagan, present Governor of California, As Governor he becomes a member of the Board of Regents of the University of California, which position has been classified "highly sensitive" by the AEC. Governor Reagan as a member of the Board of Regents will have access to,highly sensitive restricted data. The Atomic Energy Act of 1954 requires the Bureau to conduct-a full investigation Where such access is involved. As you will recall, the Bureau conducted a full back- ground investigation concerning former Governor Edmund Gerald Brown in May, 1960, when he likewise became a member of the Board of Regents of the University of California. Bureau files disclose that we have never r1vestigated Governor Reagan; however, our files do contain numerous references to him, primarily concerning his anticommunist activities in various Hollywood, California,organizations. Reagan has spoken in various parts of the country on the evils of communism and was a friendly? witness before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in October, 1947. Although he has been extremely anticommuniSt since the mid 1940's, he was reportedly a sponsor of the Committee for a Democratic Far Eastern Policy, which is listed in the "Guide to Subversive Organizations and Publications? prepared by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. He was reportedly a member of Americans for Democratic Action and American Veterans Committee in the 1940's. In 1950 it was reported he had been active in the, Hollywood Independent Citizens Committee of the Arts, Sciences, and Professions but got out in 1945 when the communists took over. aye}.

The Director invited Governor Reagan to call upon the FBI for assistance in matters of mutual interest. By letter 11-9~66 the Birector extended his congratulations to Governor Reagan on his election. Memorandum dated 1?17?67 from Mr. Sullivan to Mr. DeLoach captioned "Student Agitation, University of California, Berkeley, California, Information Concerning (Internal Security)" advised that Governor Reagan would be grateful for any information known to the Bureau concerning plans for future demonstrations to be held on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley, California, and any information of a subversive nature concerning Clark Kerr, President of the University of California. The Director approved that SAC Lynum should furnish Governor Reagan only information developed regarding plans for future demonstrations ?on the Berkeley campus or at Governor Reagan's press conferences and that we confidentially advise him that we have no pertinent information concerning Clark Kerr or the Board of Regents of the University of California. ACTION: If you approve, the SAC at San Francisco will be instructed to personally advise Governor Reagan of the reason for the investigation and the fact that it is being conducted at the request of the REC.

Reagan charted a provocative new course for state government in his in- . augural address. There is much to applaud in the philo- sophy of his administration and the direc- tion it intends to take in certain areas. De- tails must still be filled in, however, on ma- ny items in his program and it remains to be seen how they will, or if they can, be im- plemented. Reagan devoted much of his message to the grave fiscal plight of the state, noting that a new budget held at the same level as the present one, plus absolutely essential'I property tax relief, could produce a $750 million deficit. "The time has come, the governor said, "for us to decide whether collectively we can afford anything and everything we think of simply because we think of it. The time has come to runva check and see if all the services government provides are in answer to demands, or just goodies dreamed up for our supposed betterment. The time has come to match outgo to in- come, instead of always doing it the other way round. "We are going to squeeze and cut and trim until we reduce the cost of govern- ment . . . and it will involve every depart- ment of governmen That is a laudable goal. But to all practi- cal purposes, unless new legislation is en- acted, the fact is that only about one-third of the budget is controllable. That one- third covers the University of California, state colleges, institutions and governmen- tal operating costs. And that's where dan- ger RonaklReagan-1338 Although the governor did not mention it in his address, he is considering a. 10% cut in university and state college budgets, plus $400 tuition for the universi- ty and $200 for state colleges. That drastic change could gravely im- peril the quality of higher education which Californians have come to expect. It does violence to the intent of the Master Plan for Higher Education. 10% slash on top of heavy reductions already made by the Department of Finance could play havoc with operations. Tuition ought not to be used as an expedient for budget balancing, but if it is, then some way must be found to avoid penalizing deserving students who cannot afford the increased fees. There is a strong possibility, moreover, that such a heavy tuition might force an increased load on junior colleges and thus materially bo'ost local tax levels. This could vitiate the "absolutely essential" property tax relief Reagan calls for. The proposal has a popular ring, but we it has not been sufficiently thought out. 11 .Despite such special reservations, The Times commends the general tone of the new governor's message. Th "Creative Society" he proposes would turn away from the idea that government and those who serve in it are omnipotent. Government would lead but not rule, listen but not lecture. The empha- sis will be on seeing that government does not encroach on freedom or assume pow- wer beyond that freely granted by the people. That in itself indicates a refreshing change' 111 adminis' :rative directi (1311.911. 11: R: sen. Mr. Tavci Trotter .

Mrs. JANE ASHWORTH, Records Clerk, in the Office of Mr. GEORGE HEARNE, Registrar Eureka College, Eureka, _Illinois,made available a record maintained in the Registrar's Office of Eureka College, in regard to a former student named RONALD WILSON REAGAN. Mrs. ASHWORTH stated that this was the original transcript, and that there had never been a request for a transcript for this former student to be sent to any other university or college. 5 Mrs. made available the original transcript of records reflecting that RONALD WILSON REAGAN, of 226 Lincoln Way, Dixon, Illinois, was enrolled as a Freshman student in the Liberal Arts Courses offered by Eureka College, on September 14,1928. There was no indication of the date of this student's birth, nor was .there an indication of the names of his parents. There was an indication on the transcript that this student had graduated in 1928 from the North Dixon High School, Dixon, Illinois, and that he ranked in the middle third in his high school graduating class of among 70 students. The transcript reveals that he had pursued a Liberal arts Course for four years, majoring in Economics and Sociology, and by June 7, 1932, he had accumulated .129 semester hours of Liberal Arts credit with 173 grade RohaklReagan-1359. r-I' .81 116-25218 points, or a 1.37 grade point over all average for the 129 semester hours. Mrs. ASHWORTH stated that this would be a "Ca" or almost a over all four year average for his academic achievement or somewhat better than an average academic achievement. Mrs. ASHWORTH stated that this record reveals - that REAGAN was awarded an A.B. degree by Eureka College on June 7,1932. She stated that there is no other record at the ?collegezregarding this former student, as to activities or as to his deportment stating that in the absence of ?any indication on his transcript, that he had been placed on any academic or other probation, and she could only conclude that this former student had never been the subject of any disciplinary action whatsoever. Reference Mr. SAMUEL G. HARROD, JR., Attorney at Law, who has offices at 106% East Center Street, Eureka, Illinois, advised that he has known Governor REAGAN since REAGAN entered Eureka College as a Freshman student in the Fall of 1928. He stated that he, himself was in the 8th or 9th grade, as he recalls, living across the street from the Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity House, when he became acquainted with had just moved into the House, and lived there during the four years he attended college. He stated that REAGAN was almost like a big brother to him, he taught him to swim, and helped him in many ways. RonaklReagan?1360' SE lla25218 Mr. HARROD stated that he had maintained close contact with Governor REAGAN ever since, mostly by correspondence. He stated that he has viSited his home in California on four or five occasions, and on these occasions, met some prominent movie people who were friends of Governor REAGAN, including PAT JAMES CAGNEY, GEORGE BURNS, EDDIE ALBERT, and BURL IVES. . He stated that he has closely followed Governor REAGAN's Career in the movie industry and recently in' his political career. He stated that he received a hand- written note from Governor REAGAN, wherein he was invited to visit Governor REAGAN and attend his recent inauguration. . in correspondence and personal contacts, he knows Governor REAGAN had his for about seven years when Governor REAGAN was the president of the Screen Actor's Guild. - Mr. HARROD could only state that he felt REAGAN was fighting certain individuals in the movie industry, not only actors, but writers and directors and others involved in the movie?making industry, who were apparently known or believed by Governor KEAGAN to hold sympathies for other than the best interest of our American way of litew Mr. HARROD stated that he could only presume that Governor REAGAN was fighting what he, HARROD, presumed to be Communist infiltration of the industry. Mr. HARROD stated that there would never be any doubt in his mind as to the sincere and complete loyalty .and patriotism of Governor REAGAN to our form of Government. He stated that Governor REAGAN has always been well thought of by those who know him, and that betas always enjoyed a reputation for excellent moral character, and good associations. RonakIReagan-1361 - 4 . 81 116-25218 Mr. HARROD advised that he would highly recommend Governor REAGAN for a position of extreme trust and responsibility, in our Government. Mr. HARROD concluded the interview by stating that he did want to mention that a very few months ago, a ?long-haired" student from Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio, was reportedly in Eureka, attempting to learn the participation of REAGAN, then a gubernatorial -candidate, in an alleged "student strike" inEureka College in 1928. Mr. HARROD did not see this student, but only heard of the incident, and he did not know the identity of the student. He heard that the student was apparently attempting to go to all extremes in an effort to learn something of this. 4 Mr. HARROD stated that he could explain this to anyone. He then said that when Governor REAGAN first 'entered Eureka College as a Freshman, being then probably only 17 or 18 years old, that at the very beginning of that school term, the then college president, President BERT WILSON, issued some proclamations which were almost 100 per cent disagreed with on the part of the faculty and istudents. As he recalled, there were several proclamations, but that one of these was to the effect that there would .he no social functions at the college, such as dances. Another thing that President WILSON also proclaimed,that ?he was changing the requirements for various academic courses which, if allowed to stand, would prohibit the then juniors and seniors from completing their Liberal Arts degree requirements as to majors and minors within the planned four years and that this would mean that the present juniors and seniors would not have earned their bachelors degrees within the planned four years providing R0naklReagan-1362 5 31'116?25218 these changes would stand. Mr. HARROD stated that there was then a general e'student strike? This strike was against the president and his proclamations. Mr. HARROD stated that this happened early in the Fall term of 1928, right after Governor REAGAN appeared on the campus as a Freshman student. He recalled that all students then in this ?student strike" refused to attend classes. He stated that Governor REAGAN would have participated to the extent that he was one of the students, and that there was a 100 per cent participation in the student strike, and that Governor REAGAN, as a Freshman student, would have done as the other students did. He stated that faculty members, almost 100 per cent were against the proclamations of the then college president, and that they advised all students that they would hold classes in the homes of the faculty members, and that the students could carry on their_studies in this manner. Mr. HARROD recalls that a majority of the 24 member board of trustees of the Eureka College met or at least conferred regarding this "student strike" which was beginning to pick up national publicity. President BERT WILSON was fired . Mr. HARROD's father, who was then the academic Dean of Eureka College, was appointed as acting president or Eureka College, and he held this position for several months until a new college president was chosen and installed several months later. ?Mr. HARROD stated that there was nothing reprehensible about this on the part of any student, that there was no subversive activity involved whatsoever.

There happened at the time in Hollywood to be a financial drive on to raise money to build a badly needed hospital in a certain section of town, called the All Nations Hospital. I think the purpose of the building is so obvious by the title that it has the support of most of the people of Hollywood-?or, of Los Angeles, I should say. Certainly of most of the doctors, because it is very badly needed. 17 RonaklReagan-1398 LA 115-70463 "some time ago I was called to the telephone. A woman introduced herself by name. Knowing that I didn't know her I didn't make any particular note of her name and I couldn't give ?it now. She told me that there would be a recital held at which PAUL ROBESON would sing and she said that all the money for the tickets would go to the hOSpital and asked if she could use my name as one of the sponsors. I hesitated for a moment because I don"t think that Mr. ROBESON's and my political views coincide at all and then I thought I was being a little stupid because, I thought, here is an occasion where Mr. ROBESON is perhaps appearing as an artist and certainly the object, raising money, is above any political consideration, it is a hospital supported by everyone. I have contributed money myself. So I felt a little bit as if I had been stuffy for a minute and I said, certainly, you can use my name. left town for a couple of weeks and when I returned I was handed a newspaper story that said that this recital was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles under the auspices of the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee I did not in the newspaper story see one wor about the hospital. I called the newspaper and said I am not accustomed to writing to editors, but would like to explain my position, and he laughed and said, 'You needn't bother, you are about the fiftieth person that has called with the same idea, including most of the legitimate doctors who had also been listed as Sponsors of that affair.I The Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee was cited by the Attorney General of the United States under the provisions of Executive Order 10450. 18 Ronald Reagan-1399 LA 116~70463 The ?Daily Peeple's World" QLE a former daily west coast Communist ?arty publication.

RonaklReagan-14OO - 19 LA 116-70463 In April, 1946, Mr. HARVEY WOLF, a Communist Party member from 1933, to 1934, who died January 13, 1964, advised that RONALD REAGAN, screen actor, was listed as a sponsor and director of the Los Angeles Committee for a Democratic Far Eastern Policy;? The Committee for a Democratic Far Eastern Policy has been designated by the Attorney General pursuant to Executive Order 10450. The "Los Angeles News" issue, April 29, 1946, contains an article concerning the California State Convention of the American Veterans Committee which was held April 26, 1946, through April 28, 1946. This article reflects that film actor RONALD REAGAN is a member of the American veterans Committee and was a toastmaster at a luncheon session of the convention. The Fourth Report of Un-American Activities in California which is a report of the Joint Fact Finding Committee to the 1948 Regular California Legislature, dated at Sacramento, 194 on Page 43, lists among other organizations, the American veterans Committee, which is typical of organizations"faced with consistent Communist disruption and confusion.? The report states thatuthe California Section of the American Veterans Committee falls into the Communist dominated class and is a vociferous, decadent minority in national AVG affairs? The "Daily People's World" issue of September 7, 1946, on Page 3, contains an article stating that RONALD REAGAN was to star in ?Operation Terror,? first in a series of 13 weekly broadcasts entitled, ?It's Happening Here,? Sponsored by the Mobilization for Democracy, on Monday night, September 9, 1946. It was announced that the program would be produced with the cooperation of the Hollywood Writers Mobilization. The Mobilization for Democracy is cited as follows on Page 220 of the Guide to Subversive Organizations and Publications prepared and released by the Committee on Un-American Activities, U. S. House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. - RonaklReagan-1401 19a. 'One of the largest, and certainly one of the most potentially potent front organizations created by California Communists' since 1945. TAs an excuse for' its creation, the Communist Party seized upon the appearance of Gerald L. K. Smith in Los Angeles. It is 'a Communist-inepired and dominated organization, carefully window-dressed and directed' and 'engaged in inciting riots, racial hatred, and disrespect for law and order.? It is one of the'key Communist fronts in California.? "(California Joint Fact-Finding Committee on Un-American Activities, Report, 19?7, pp. 48, 62, and 369.)" The Hollywood Writers Mobilization for Defense is cited by the Attorney General pursuant to Executive Order 10450.

ATOMIC ENERGY ACT Mia ijv??A?n?m i 5F This is to advise that the background investigation of Reagan, the present Governor of California, requested by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) has been completed. As the Governor of California, Reagan will be a member of the Board of Regents of the University of California, which position has been classified as "highly sensitive" by AEC. All persons interviewed during the investigation made highly favorable comments concerning Reagan's character, loyalty, \and associates. Although Reagan has been extremely anticommunist since the latter part of the 1940' s, in 1945 he was listed Las a member of the Dinner Committee and appeared in a play at a meeting called by the Hollywood Independent Citizen's Committee of the Arts, Sciences, and the Professions. This organization later became known as the National Coun?il of Arts, Sciences, and Professions. In 1946, Reagan starred in a radio program Sponsored by the Mobilization for Democracy and produced with the cooperation of the Hollywood Writers Mobilization. The Southern California Committee of the [National Council of Arts, Sciences, and Professions?has been cited by the California Committee on Un?American Activities as a communist dominated propaganda media and the Mobilization for Democracy has beencdted by the California Joint Fact Finding Committee on Un-American Activities as a communist front.i In 1946, Reagan was listed as a sponsor and director of the Los Angeles Committee for a Democratic Far Eastern Policy. In 1947, Reagan was listed as a sponsor of a recital put on by the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee. The Committee for a Demooratic Far Eastern Policy, the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee, and the Hollywood Writer Mobilization for Defense have been cited pursuant to Execu ?ve Order 10450. .1 a? :2 mi?, . 521-35; [rem t3$1f 1 - Mr. DeLoach has, 30?- - 1 Mr. Wick 3 ?k ?94 1 - Mr. Gale CONTINUED - 1 Mr. Cleveland - i 1 Mr. Holroyd 53/ .

Mr. Walter Glover, Director of Plant Security, Warner Brothers Pictures, Burbank, California, made highly complementary remarks concerning Mr. Reagan. He advised for the confidential information of the Bureau that he understood the true reason Reagan divorced his wife, actress Jane Wyman, was immorality on her part. Glover stated Jane Wyman had a reputation of promiscuity before, during, and after her marriage to Reagan. Glover stated that when Reagan found out about the actions of his wife, he divorced her. The records of the Los Angeles Supreme Court show that a complaint for divorce was filed on May 6, l948, between Jane Wyman Reagan and Ronald W. Reagan. Jane Wyman Reagan alleged her husband, Ronald W. Reagan, inflicted griev?ous mental suffering Upon her, making it impossible for the parties to live happily together as husband and wife. Jane Wyman Reagan was granted an interlocutory divorce, JUne 28, 1948, and received custody of the two children. Under ordinary circumstanCes, the divorced spouse of an applicant is interviewed for their comments concerning the applicant; however, in view of the reported reputation of Jane Wyman, she is not being interviewed unless a specific request is received for such an interview from ABC.

The Southern California Committee of this organization has been cited as a communist dominated propaganda media. In 1946 Reagan appeared in a radio program spOnsored by the Mobilization,5 for Democracy, produced with the cooperation of the Hollywood Writers Mobilization.
