THE SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY RUMOR CLINIC
MAXWELL HALL
SYRACUSE, NEW YORK
January 23, 1943
Mr. Eugene Katz
Office of War Information
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Katz:
The following rumor has been reported to the Clinic:
"Germany bought the entire crop of Spain's olives
this year. These are now being shipped to the
United States in Spanish ships and we are buying them.
Our money goes directly to help Germany finance the war."
Can you furnish us with information which we could use
to refute this rumor in our regular column?
We have asked you for this information before, but
unfortunately our request got snowed under in the tremendous
volume of your correspondence.
Yours truly,
Warren B Walsh
