That's exactly what the situation is. I'll tell you what I thought I thought that I think that's a good idea and I ask Alan Dulles who's Brother, you know the former Secretary of State and a very able man To fly down there and told him that you would Ask us to do that They told it to and I'm going to ask him to go down there tomorrow next day and I'll have him Give you notice beforehand I Want him to talk to you and any people that you suggest It might be desirable for him to talk to send him to anyone that you think you ought to see any local officials or state officials who wants to go or state officials and I Think he also ought to before he comes back see some of the Negro groups so that he can Hear anything they've got to say or talk to them. I think he'll talk to the FBI people of them there I'm deeply concerned about This situation as I know you are These youngsters who come into a situation a way you already have a hard core group of people with long police records That are professional And these youngsters don't realize what they're getting into and they've been in here a good while and they start up a great deal of tension and Now the youngsters come in when the tension On this matter of the bath of these three that have disappeared We've had investigators in there, of course, that's yesterday morning Checking it out Then we have of course our people over there at the scene of this automobile and I have been in touch with the FBI Resident agent of the district agent And my people and here's have been working very closely together. Yes, he Edgar Hoover told me that a couple times How people should get with his group and make a decision as to whether or not that big spot should be searched And if they needed to do so Determined that was the thing to do right away that we would be glad to finish From the additional personnel to get in there and to search that small battle I frankly don't think that they will find them anyway except perhaps another part of this country What we could determine look like they went out of their own foot to the highway. It's only about a hundred yards away So from the car In there particularly on the side part of the road It would take a Large number of men to really scarlet But we're willing to do it if they feel that that would you know be beneficial You issued a statement sir. I didn't enjoy that's correct. What'd you say in that state? Well in that state my dog and that's that baby a CBS crowd were there filmed it I said that my people had been in there on Assignment since yesterday morning That I have not received any official notice from a request To search for these people are to run this down until last night But despite that the quick as we've heard about it yesterday morning We said investigators over and then we also alerted our Patrol units over in that area to be on the lookout also And that the car had been found That it was in the small about 12 miles Northeast of Philadelphia That it was on the north side of the highway in the overchillest form About a hundred yards off the highway That the FBI agents were there on the same That's on the live personnel were there on the same Nobody's found in the car and that the area had been roped off That news personnel felt threatened would not be permitted in the area until An investigation had popular been carried out by the FBI and by our state Investigators and by the local sheriff And that every effort was being made Coordinated movement between all three of the law enforcement branches to see that the end of justice Mr. Hoover told me that she'd made it and it pleased me very much We want to cooperate with you in any way in the world that we can we know what a Problem it is and we want to make available all facilities that the federal government has it we can to you and work Work with all of our people there and our equipment to Try to locate these boy now CBS has got out a report that they've located the bodies and they found the bodies You know anything about that I know nothing whatsoever about that and if that were true The investigators over there would have contacted me immediately. I'm they so CBS calls say the student bodies have been found. I Don't know whether I just got that since I started talking to you. No We do not know what the hell we We haven't found out but I'd be delighted to Give you a ring or to give someone that you may have made boy just a minute Hoover's calling this on the other phone now Let me see what what he says CBS man says that it's an unconfirmed report from the UPI stringer Jackson UPI still is not carried the story I feel that if they had no people bodies that they would have notified me immediately The parents were down. I've got to say something tonight and I don't want to I want to contribute to a solution and not add to a problem You see what the big problem is down here Suppose we had half million Marshalls in here you could not have begin it Such a thing has happened in this particular instance It's an isolated opposition that could happen anywhere in the state because of its size and because of the wooded areas and because of the fact that it is a rural state with a lot of small communities and You're going to have this sort of a thing in New York City or anywhere else It's a matter of when these things do happen that we run them to raise and bring them to justice But this sort of thing could not have been prevented Regardless of what anyone had done That's our big problem here, and it would be in Texas or Arkansas anywhere else. That's right now you can have Individual incident or isolated incident like that Well, I think that we're going to have a long summer and as I said before We I'm deeply concerned about what's going to happen day-to-day, and I think it's just imperative that We work together as closely as we can and all the resources of the state and local people and Folks that we have will be put together to try to see if the law is observed and see if we can avoid any violence We have been doing that For about six months and we've just kept the lid on this thing How we've done it I don't know but we've kept it all suppressed and I just look for Dynamite kid to go off in a minute, you know and be sitting on it But we have I think the FBI agents and Any of your people are here in the state will tell you the same thing That we've made a tremendous effort to try to keep the people calm and so far they have been I want to tell you that What I said before that I very pleased with your statement that I appreciate your invitation to Have this objective observer.
