Dear Mr . .\rnold:
It seems that Mr. Maurice Roddy of the Chicago Times got the
atory from Mr. Sir.1th, because he oslled me, told me he was
running it. I knew only 'What you'd told me over the phone.
Now, it seems the newspapers a.re pestering th~ very devil out
of all ycu fellows. cr1sma.n wired me for inst1uotions. and I
told him to cay nothing tb the newspapers, because he'll look
silly if the army explains th1~ as •meteors~ or something like
that.
I don't blame you for being alarmed, but I trust you've had no
trouble i n your flying since then. Let's get that straight-
there 's no horrible plot 1n#olved. It's probably true that the
t\llO m the people of Amerioa, if not the 110rld. Antl no
censorship of the matter is logal. You needn't fee.r that angle.
You certainly did a bang-up job of investignt1ont also you wrote
one of the best article a about your aune 24 experience I 've ever
seen. Piease do the same on t his last business. Yuu On it to
those two men 1rho were killed.
I 'd also like to know what developed on those pictures you took
of those ndacks", or whatever they were.
