On Hove·nber 23, 1954 Iu1r. BUD :}Q0DI1AN, reporter for the
Detroit Free Press, called this office and talked to the 11l'riter
and stated he had so~ne more material concerning the Flying Saucer
Club and he 1·JOuld be ~lad to send it over to us if "[.Je Here as
interested in the organization as they thought 111e should be.
I advised him we would be interested in receiving any material he
or anyone else 11ished to submit.
JYir. GOODl'lAN then stated that his paper was interested
in running a story· on the Flying Saucer Club and he v.r·)ndered whether
. they would be able to put a -statement in it to the effect . that
the F'BI is investir;;ating the ore;anization. The t-.Jriter advised
Pf!r. 1100D:1AN tha.t they should very definitely not make such a
state·'nent inasmuch as it v.rould be strictly conjectural on the
part 0f anyone vJho made it. l'-1r. GOOD!-1-AN then inquired whether
it 'hrould harm us if the Free .Press ran a story •)n the organization
v-rithout T!lakins any reference to the Bureau. ·rhe "(.Jriter advised
Hr. GOODI.'fAN that a reply to-such a statement should most properly
co·~... e from Ivlr. HciN1fiRB, the SAC, and I advised t1r. GOOD~·1 AN ths.t
111e 111ould call him 11:!-ter concerning the me.tter.
After discussing this matter v-rith the SAC, the ,,Triter
called GOOD;',AN at the City Desk of the Free Press and advised him
that 1-1e had no position in this ·matter a.nd it v.rould nwke no
difference one Hay or another to .us 1vhether the story 1'fas run
by ·-Jis paper. 1,~ith respect to any statement concerning this
Bureau investigating the br;Janization, the l>Jriter reiterated that
such a statement would be strictly conjectural • .
Hr. GOOD£.1AN stated that he a ;.preciated the ansl'fers and
would also like to knm-J Hhether he would be off base if he made a
state<n.ent in his article concernin ··: 'trJi':tother the or ,~anization is
subversive. 'l1he 1~riter advised GOOF Ai~ that this Bur·eau is. not
at liberty to s.nsHer a question of that type and expected that
he would dral-J no conclusions in vie1:,1 of our inability to ans111er.
