696. Your 935, March 19, 11 a.m. The Department is in entire agreement that you furnish the police confidentially such evidence as you and West7 may consider necessary; FBI shares this view. We confidently leave to your discretion any measures with respect to guiding the police in the round up of the remaining individuals of the radio rings. You will appreciate the necessity of avoiding disclosure [Page 188] of the source of our information since in that case our present source of information would be jeopardized if not cut off. Please cable further developments.
