MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR:
Fred Blumenthal, Washington correspondent of PARADE, telephoned to tell
us that your story and color photograph for the cover of PARADE will appear
in the issue of July 3 in what will be known as a patriotic issue. I think
we are fortunate in getting in on the long Fourth of July holiday when families
--and this reaches 12 million families--will have an opportunity to read the
article and see what the DCI looks like. Mr: Blumenthal said that one picture,
which they will use, came out very well. He asks if they could receive the
copy by Monday, 9 May. He makes the request because of the pressure of time,
but he doesn't want you to think they are pressing. I told him that you were
still working on the piece but I thought maybe it would be ready by Monday,
and I would get it to him as soon as you finish writing it.

NEMEANDUE FM THE DiRECTM:
9 March 1955
Fred Blumenthal, PARADE, spent a few hours with me yesterday, going over
their ideas for a story to go with your color picture on a forthcoming PARADE,
times for Bey. What they want is a *by Line* story by you, of 1,000 to 1,500
words, preferably an intelligence cr something allied thereto.
Excerpts could be made from the speech you made before, the Virginia Chaeiber
of Commerce an April 9, 2954 that would, I think, *aka good reading under your
by line and would meet their need.. The attached statement is what I would
recommend.
PARADE would like an appointment within the next few weeks to have their
photographer cone down from Row York and sake a color picture in your office.

MEMORANIEM FOR THE DIRECTOR:
Freth41 PARADE Magazine, followed up today his request of
several ago at they give you the cover and you write a brief
statement for them, I told him that I had brought the matter to your
attention and I thought he had an idea there, but that we must still keep
it on the ice because you were unable to discuss it and told me that we
would look into the matter again in March.
He stated that he would call me or I would call him on your final
decision, and again urged me to try to get you to do it, stating that his
wife had worked with Vandenberg, Hillenkoetter, and Smith, and they were in
agreement that such a picture and article would be very useful in humanizing
CIA to the American people.
He also stated that in an issue two weeks from now the cover will be
John Foster Dulles, coming out about the time of the anniversary of his birth.
