the Electrical Engineering Department. It aked specifically for
copies cf theses or dissertations
which he had written. Similar requests weie cent to a number of
engineering professors, he said.
Profrsr Mancy contacted the
FBI office here, and the matter
was referred to Washington. He
was recently informed by Washington officials that "the transmittal., of ..unpublished., scientific
papers to a Communist nation is
unlawful." This information was
passed on to the University faculty
in the professor's memorandum.
He described the letters as having a fritted or mimeographed
text, with the names of the addresses written in ink. He said
they were addressed according to
the academic rank held by the
recipients in 1951.
"The letters were addressed to
myself end ethers who were on
the University staff in 1951." he
eaid. "Fevr were addressed to assistant professors in the Electrical
Engineering Department, and at
that time there were only four
assistant professors there.
"It looks as though they may
have gotten hold of an old University catalog," he continued.
Professor Maney's letter was sent
to the Office of Technical Service
in Washington. This agency is set
up to control the unauthorized
transmission of research papers
out of the country.
"Insofar as the FBI knows," he
stated "this is the first attempt by
the Com.Tiuni.sts to get basic research material" from American
universities.
