COORDINATOR OF' INFORMATION
WASHINGTON, D. C.
December 22, 1941
Memorandum re John A. Hastings:
He was born April 21, 1900, is married, he.s
a family, attended public sohool, graduated from
Politeohnic School. Also attended St. Joseph's
College and Brooklyn College. During last was
he servied in official capacity with the War
Camp Community service. After the war got poli-
tical job. Was elected to New 1ork State Senate
from Brooklyn in 1923 and served through 1932.
He had a reputation in Albany as a lavish enter-
tainer and a man who lived very far beyom: his
means. My Albany imformant has a vague recollec-
tion of Hastings being mixed up in some dope
affair while in the Senate, but let me repeat
that this is just a vague recollection.
talked with Owen MoGivern aout him and
Owen said this "Universally he is regarded as
no good. He has a reputation of being a sharp-
shooter? u eon wan and a fellow who, without
hesitation, will cut corners. He was an inti-
mate of gayoc Walker's, so intimate that he made
a trip to the Coast with Walker when Walker
pleaded the gooney case before the Governor of
California. He was mixed up with Block, a
publisher and figured in the Seobury investi-
gution. He was also mixed up in the Equitable
Bus Scandal, and the lest tame he was heard of
in New York was when he was trying to form a
combine to interest investment in Mexican Oil
and the people here say he ha left for Mexico.
The current impression here is that he is still
in Mexico."
Can I do unithing else.

26th ;uly, 1941,
It is very rarely that X find myself able to
recommend any women for Intelligenoe work, can
do so with confidence in the ease of Miss Elizabeth
HUMES, c/o State Department, Washington, DX., or
alternatively, private address: ojo fitrs. Mary Clark,
800, Twenty-First Street, NW., Washington, D.C.
23 Miss HUMES has epent the last 25 years in Europe
firstly under the Conunercial Department, Washington,
but transferred to the State Department as a Consular
Offioial in, think, 1938 or 1939. Speak Italian,
French and Gezman eluontly and has a good knowledge of
those co atrieu. iu a good judge of political situations
and infol.mation, and very objeotive in views. Is partio-
ularly well informed about Italy arca peroonalitiee in
Italy. Last hoard or when she was in tbe American
Legation or uonsulate in Uopenhagen, where she had been
ainee 1939. Is probably now on route to the States
via Lisbon, but am not certain of this.
3. I know of no one to whom 1 would rather submit a
report on Italy for an opinion as to exactitude and
reliability. If our friend DIA. wants a "good number"
and could obtain the loan of her service() from the
State Department, he would make no mistake.
4. Ono reservation - oho probably would not be interested
in what is known as Security Intelligence. Her bent lies
in the more active side.

It might be that your frienus,in their
initial stages, will require some guidance
as to what a good operational Intelligence
report looks like. I think the two attached
papers are very good Jamples of what in really
wanted this side, - no head lines, plain hard
facts on which the are forces can take action.
