Internal Memorandum February 17, 1954 Interview with Mr, Woodlief Thomas Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D, C, This interview was more discursive than a later one should be* Mr. Thomas was very helpful in suggesting people who might help out in specific situations concerning specific papers, He said, for instance, that Mr, MacAdoo has a grandson whose name is Bryce Claggett at Princeton University. The mother and father are both dead. The boy might know something about his grandfather1s papers, (See memo of conversation with ^K Katherine Brand at the Library of Congress on the MacAdoo papersr) #In & the matter of Mr, Goldenwiser1s papers and the continuing difficulties *\ which illness in the family^ imposes Mr, Thomas suggested that the best person to talk to might not be Mrs, Goldenwiser but her son-in-law Mr, Mr. Thomas1 Andrew Kamark,now with the International Bank, /ftts name may be used as introduction. He also suggested that Mr, Goldenwiser1 s son who has changed his name to Allem (the full name is John Alexis Allen), who teaches at and North Rochester University/is getting his Doctor at the University of/Carolinaf Pight be able to get at his father1 s papers in the recess this spring or possibly during the summer. If this is undertaken it should be on a such a basis that he is compensated for the time which he puts in. Mr, Thomas tried to telephone Mr. Kamsirk but again family illness had kept the latter at home and thus far there is no re stilt on this. He confirmed a previous piece of information that Mr. Ficks is the person whovtwould probably know most about the papers of Adolph Miller, Mr, Ficks is unfortunately in the hospital. It has however been arranged that a Miss Rosa Irnst who is an employee of the Board and also in nurses aid at that particular hospital will try to speak to Mr, Ficks about this when she -2- sees him there, Mr. Thomas said that Mr, E&ile Despres of Williams College had worked on the Morganthau papers. He also suggested Mr, Ealph Bo bey (see interview with Mr* Daniel Bell for more information on the Morganthau papers) • Mr, Thomas says that Senator Owen is still living at 24.00 16th Street / (check this with information from the Library of Congress about Mr. 0wenfs papers). Mr, Thomas thought that Mr, Bray Hammond might also know about the papers, jvir* jtiamniono. i s E X p r e s e n t x n x T?axy^^sSbS^^^^^^w^^^s^^nvt^wsBB^o^ia^^^B^m^ vxa Schaffer 7, Merano* Provxncia di Bolzano, Italy Mr. Thomas was described by Mr, Sari Parry as lfthe indispensable man" in this project.
