• CI . 100-new (CIVILIAN RESEARCH, INTERPLANETARY FLYING OBJECTS) FRANK EDWARDS from his office at the DuBois Company. GUNDERMAN continued that he believes STRINGFIELD is now afraid to proceed too much for fear the Air Force will in some way stop his operations and that EDWARDS ' warning to STRINGFIELD was after the issuing of the October 1, 1954, 11Newsletter 11 which contained the article about STRINGFIELD' s interview with Colonel 0 1MARA. At the same time, GUNDERMAN reported that STRINGFIELD, in talking about the possibility that the Air Force might stop his operations, made a state ment to the effect that, "The Air Force can't do anything to me . I'm claiming saucers are interplanetary." GUNDERMAN continued in his letter that another point which may or may not be of interest is the fact that the DuBois Company copywriter, HERBERT E ·r-CLARK, 4974 Stratbmore Drive , Cincinnati , is a close friend 6f STRINGFIELD and is interested in STRINGFIM.D 1 s organization. Ha identified CLARK as about 25 years of age and a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University where CLARK c aims to have been a member of an inter-racial social college fraternity. GUNDERMAN said he noticed that CLARK often brings up such subjects as the falseness of religion, that atomic and hydrogen bombs may be the cause of bad weather, and that colored people shouldn 1 t be discriminated against. At the same time CLARK is active in the Methodist Church and in the Cincinnati Civil Defense organization. GUNDERMAN advised that he was furnishing the foregoing information because he thought that possibly the real purpose of the Civilian Research, Interplanetary Flying Objects organization might be to gather bits of information about a very secret u. s. Air Force Development Project. My letter of 6/8/54 in referenced matter concerning TRUMAN BETHURUM on pages 4 and 5 contains information re garding STRINGFIELD 1 s interest in BETHURUM and that the indices of this office at that time contained no information - 3
