Recently the Pure Food’ and Drug Administration of the Department of Agriculture initiated an ijancion Proceedings against Reich restraining his transporting his wares in interstatc commerce. Richardson stated his client has instructed this motion could not be argued in court for two reasons, namely, the scientific and technical aspects were too involved for the court to pass on and, secondly, national / security was involved in that his discovery paralleled the atomic energy developments. Since national security was involved, according to his client, he thought he should come directly to us. In the first instance, pursuant to his client's instruction, he would like to get together with the agency of government concerned and, secondly, from a selfish standpoint, Richardson wondered if Dr. Reich was the type of person he should become involved with, even in an attorney-client relationship. I told Richardson I, of course, could not advise him on thie; that I would have to check to ascertain if we had any current interest im this matter, Richardson also stated he has an appointment to sce the "General Counsel of the Food and Drug Administration on Thureday. I told Richardson we could not advise him as to what he should do with reference ito the attorney-client relationship and I did not know if the Bureau had any interest in Dr. Reich and whether we would be interested tn evpn mae to him. jy SE27 Vesa sf/4 6 /- 35. i fescusy am. 9g OR 2 98 ee fi inveate - 101 Oak. a : cs : : Pa a | J fe wea I checked and ascertained we have had considerable wrespondence and some checks made on this person. He is carrying on tancer research and his research consists of a specially built box wherein an individual ‘site in the box for a period of two hours and breathes the air from the inside of the box through a tube. Apparently Dr. Reich has become somewhat of a local problem in Rangeley and the Town Manager advised in 1950 that Reich's writings were barred from the public library im Rangeley since he had advocated early sexual relations for children in the treatment of cancer.. Senator Smith in October, 1950, furnished information from a local constituent on her suspicion of the Reich Fandation. We simply acknowledged this. - We had checked with the Atomic Energy Commission on Reich's claims in 1951 and the Atomic Energy Commission stated they had looked into his project and described Dr. Reich as mentally unsound. The Immigration and Naturalization people have also been checking into Dr. : Reich. I advised Richardson we had no current interest in Dr. Reich and he might wish to check with Immigration and Naturalization, (Reich has been having trouble with IN&S who have been checking on him). I aleo advised him he might want to check with the Atomic Energy Commission..:. Richardson expressed his appreciation. Since Senator Smith had stated she would like for me to call her, I did return her call. J told her -Ivhad seen Richardson; that we had no current interest in the*Reich Foundation; that I had told Richaras- he might want to check with the Atomic Energy Commission, IN&S and he had already made appointments to check with the Food and Drug Admini: tration, Senator Smith stated she was most appreciative of the courtesy extended to Richardson, She commented on my recent session with her wherein we had discussed the Bureau's activities and stated she had enjoyed that session and she hoped the next time we meet we could discuss a more Pleasant subject matter; that she had given an awful lot of thought to our eession and she hoped we could get better acquainted and we would find her a very reasonable person, I do not know exactly what this means. < STILL WOISE “ : a ASSISTANT IR.
