`THE CHESTERFIELD MEMO`

DATE: April 7, 1951

TO: Mr. Tolson

FROM: L.B. Nichols

SUBJECT: [Left blank by Nichols]

[Name censored by the FBI] who handles the advertising for Chesterfields told me that the producer of the Bob Hope show had signed a contract with Judy Holliday, but that Ligget & Myers is taking a firm stand that they do not want her on their program even though she issued a statement denying she had been a member of the Communist Party. [Name censored by the FBI] has taken this stand on the basis of a recent House Committee report linking her with the Peace Crusade program.
