# JOHNSON COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL DEFENSE MONROE AND JACKSON STREETS FRANKLIN, INDIANA
20 January 1953
Mr. J. Edgar Hoover Director Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington, D. C.
Decr Birr
I would first like to apologize for writing to you direct, however, I have cleared this morning with our State Director and he suggests this procedure.
We have been having some success with our Ground Observation Corps as we have four (4) posts here in the county.
Last Fall I was contacted by one of our local business men wanting to know if I would be interested in joining the International Flying Saucer Bureau. I told him that I would and did join with the idea fully in mind of having the local people who are interested in Flying Saucers also work in our Civil Defense Program. We are only too willing to co-operate in any way we can with Civil Defense. The city of Franklin is approximately twenty (20) miles southwest of Indianapolis, on the dual lane highway U S 431.
I am enclosing a letter which wns received.last October, as well as the current issue of STAGE REVIEW. Would like to know if this organization has been cleared or is subversive in any way.
I would appreciate your expediting this information back to us so that we will know what steps to take in further enlisting interested persons in our program.
If you do not require the enclosures please return them.
