When SAC, S. K. McKee of Newark called me atthe above time and date I asked him whether or not he had

~*

heard any rumors to the effect that Frank Sinatra had. paid$40,000 to obtain a 4-F classification, la*. McKee statedthat he had heard nothing to this effect.

I told V.cKee that someone had written to ifalter•Vinchell stating that the FBI is suppoeed to be investi-gating a report that Sinatra had paid, through his manager,#40,000 to obtain a 4-F^classification, One of the doctorswho conducted Sinatra* s physical examination is reported to*have "talked too much" in a beer parlor. A former schoolmateof Sinatra* s from Highland, Nov/ Jersey is also reported assaying that Sinatra hus no more ear drum trouble than GeneralMcArthur. This anonymous informant also wrote in his letterto n'inchell that mothers around that section who have sons inthe service are planning a petition to President Rooseveltasking for a re-examination of Sinatra by a neutral board ofexaminers.

I asked SAC McKee to asceftain definitely whetherSinatra's classification was 4-F and if so. to determine whyhe received this classification. However, I told him that itwould not be necessary at this time to make a full scale in-;

vestigation or to look into the charges of #40,000 being paijdthe examining doctors at Newark. McKee stated that he wouljdo this immediately and advise the Bureau of the results.

SELECTIVE SERVICE

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to the telephone message fromUr, Christopher Callan at the Seat of Government on February 8,1944 concerning the receipt by the Bureau of an anonymous letterall o trt n c. In off f.ha+. 4/n fWl ka<4 haan *va4/4 4- « 4>Via

examined FRANK ALBERT SINATRA and thereafter gave an opinion thatSINATRA had a perforated eardrum and was unsuitable for militaryservice*

In accordance with instructions, the investiga-tion was limited to an examination of SINATRA'S Selective ServiceFile in order to obtain from that file certain information as setforth below. 0nFebruare9, 1944, the file was examined by MSpecial Agent^j^BMgMMfe at Local Draft Board #19 for HudsonCounty, Room 308, 26 Journal Square, Jersey City, New Jersey* TheChief Clerk of this board is Mrs. MAE E. JONES.

(1) PRESENT CLASSIFICATION: 4F as of December 11, 1943*

V

(2) REASON FOR THAT CLASSIFICATION: D.S.S. Form #221, "Reportof Physical Examination and Induction", carries under Section 4,"Physical Examination Results", the following certification:"78» I certify that the above-named registrant was carefullyexamined, that the results of the examination have been cor-rectly recorded in this form, that to the best of my knowledgeand belief: ...(e) FRANK ALBERT SINATRA is physically and/ormentally disqualified for military service by reason of: J1. chronic Derforation It. tvmoanum: 2. chivmle mastoiditis^ O A A 1

This was supported by the stamped name, "J* TVEBITROB,' Captain;'V" "

U.C., Assistant Chief Medical Officer". Immediately^

"79. . . . (b) FRANK ALffiRT SINATRA was on this date rejectedfor service in the Army of the united States."

Letter to the DirectorJLD:vml

Newark 2, New JerseyFebruary 10, 1944

This statement was supported by the typewritten name,"R. G. WALLS, Captain, Infantry*. The certificationand statement carried the place and date of Newark,

Kew Jersey, December 9, 1943.

More detailed notations appeared in Section 4,"Physical Examination Results", as follows:

"40. EAR, NOSE, THROAT ABNORMALITIES i Chronic perforation .

It. drum. Hist of repeated discharge from ear - mastoid areasshow coating in remaining cells and deformity of canal. Markssclerosis in mastoid area."

"50. MUSCOLOSKELEAL DEFECTS: Fracture deformity 3rd fingerrt. N.D. "

"55. MENTAL: Emotional instability. K.D."

"64. HEIGHT: 6?i inches."

"65. WEIGHT: 119 lbs."

"75. BLOOD HIESSURE: (a) Systolic: 122; (b) Diastolic: 78.

"

(3) GENERAL APPEARANCE OF FILE, ETC.: jJnL.its...face, .the_file, appearedto.be in. regular order, Mrs. Jones said that the Local Board

had been particularly careful not to afford SINATRA specialtreatment and where any question of importance arose, the Boardwould Immediately communicate with the State Headquarters foradvice in view of the "position* held by SINATRA. Mrs. Jonesalso said that although it had been ^reported over the radioand otherwise that SINATRA had had a pre-induction physical

;

examination and knew two weeks before the date set for his Jinduction examination that he would be rejected, no such pr%-Induction examination was ever given by her board for any

j

registrant. It had been the impression of Mrs. Jones thatj

SINATRA had had the belief that he would be rejected inasmuchas he had continued to make plans for his new radio show, butshe had readily explained that to herself through the thoughtthat he had probably had his own physician examine him*

The following inconsistencies appeared in the file:In his Selective Service Questionnaire executed December 17, 1940,under series 2, "Physical Condition", SINATRA wrote in under "Have No" •

"To the best of my knowledge, I have no physical or mental defects ordiseases." In an undated Current Selective Service Questionnaire which

Letter to the DirectorJLD;vml

Newark 2, New Jersey-

February 10, 1944

was to be returned prior to November 7, 1941 and In answer to thequestion, "Do you have any physical or mental defects or diseases?",SINATRA wrote "No". On October 22, 1943, in the»Extract for D.S.S.Form #221 - Report of Physical Examination and Induction", SINATRAanswered Question #5, "What Physical or Mental Defects or DiseasesHave You Had in the Past, if any?", by the one word, "No". In an-swer to Question #6, "Have you ever been treated at an institution,sanitarium or asylum?", SINATRA wrote, "No". On October 22, 1943,local Board Examining Physicfcn A. POVALSKI, K.D., Jersey City, fourfdthat SINATRA had none of the defects set forth in Parts 1 or 2 ofthe List of Defects (form #220).

Independently o^this investigation, it had come tothe attention of Special AgentJpSSfrthat FRANK SINATRA had acriminal record in Bergen County, From

*

Bergen County Jail, Hackensack, New Jersey, there was obtained anenclosed picture of FRANK SINATRA and the following information re-garding the two occasions on which SINATRA was held in the BergenCounty Jail: FRANK SINATRA, Arrest #42799, Bergen County Sheriff isOffice, Hackensack, New Jersey was arrested on November 26, 1938charged with Seduction.

oLitter to Direotor

In explanation of tons of the radical terms used above

,

and in explanation of the material transmitted to Colonel YiALSOM by CaptainWEINTROB, the latter gave the following informattms

SINATRA, had stated to him that he had had at feast three -

mastoid operations in his youth* If SINATRA mentioned the name or names ofthe physicians involved. Captain WEINTROB was unable to reoel 1 them. Theexamination, according to Captain W3INTR0B, seemed to verify the statementinasmuch as there were found soars behind the ear* The perforation of thedrum (tyspanum) was a disease perforation so far as Captain 1VEIKTR0B could „tell and not the result of an incision by human hands* Captain WSINTROBstated that mastoiditis is ordinarily caused by infection of ths middle ear;In SINATRA'S case, there was ohronic infection of the middle ear* Such in-faction ordinarily causes the formation of puss, which may seek outlet **

through the drum causing a perforation and thereafter puss draining or *

running through the perforation. The puss may stop flowing in which oasethe perforation of the drum will ordinarily heal over until puss again causesa perforation* However, where a perforation has healed, it is possible tosee that a perforation formerly existed at that spot* The diseased middleear can spread this infection to the brain causing an abscess, or to themastoid era a* in the latter area, a diseased condition is termed "mastoiditis*,which may be scutes that is inflammed, or chronic} that is more a case of ahardening of the mastoid area with the laying down of bone deposits* Inadverse weather conditions and the like chronic mastoiditis may well developinto acute mastoiditis* In SINATRA'S case, his assertion that "running ear*had recently occurred was bormout by the perforation noted in the x-rayof the mastoid area, which showed that the condition was one of chronicmastoiditis* This wss borne out by the eppearanoe on the x-ray of thesoelo rising or hardening of that areaj that is clotting in ths remaining cellsof the mastoid area not removed by operations indicating that the chronicmastoiditis had had the effect of petrifying that portion of the head*Captain WEINTROB attens)ted to locate the x-rays of the smstoid area, but wasunable to do ao Immediately* Bs said he would continue to search for themand would lay them one aide if he were able^to locate them*

i

The Captain also stated that no one had ever attourted toinfluence his opinion in this ease and in fact no one had dlecussedjtheSIHATRA case with him prior to the actual examination. He added that withinthe past few weeks he has read an article by one of the Hew York City oolumniststo the offset that it was understood FRANK'SIKATRA'S case was not yet closedso far as induction was concerned. Captain WEINTROB stated he was satisfiedin his own mind that SINATRA should not have been inducted and was willing tostake his medical reputation on his findings* Hs pointed to his training atthe Jefferson Medical School and post-graduate work at the University ofPennsylvania Medioal School aa an indication of his medical qualifications.

Tou trill recall that we inquired into the_ Selective Service status of ,

y*» Frank Sinatra because of the receipt from WalterTStnchell of an anonymous letterwhich he received alleging that $40,000 had been paid by Sinatra to procure a4*-F classification* Newark found that Sinatra received a 4-F classificationbecause of an ear ailment. It also discovered that Sinatra had been arrestedtwice—once for seduction and once for adultery, both arrests resulting in dis-,missals t< ./fj-o-x^-A«/ «« <x^-7*"»

The Director penned a notation on my memorandum to you dated February X5 9^

1944 1 "We should be certain that there is nothing irregular in this case," andupon your instructions, I called the Newark Office on February 21, 1944. at 4:45 P» m#and instructed ASAC R. W. Bachman to have the physician who examined Sinatra inter-viewed « The Newark Office has complied] witjf these"instructionsjand'therejisAttached hereto Newark's letter of."February 24,7.1944 which"indicates very definitelythat Sinatra was properly rejected because of a perforation of the membranatympani and acute or chronic mastoiditis. During' the course of the interview, itwas~ascertained from the examining physician, Dr. Joseph R. ffeintrob, Captain,U. S. Army, Medical Corps, that Sinatra stated he had, in his early youth, been ; f

operated on on several occasions for mastoiditis. X-ray pictures have borne out *,

Sinatra's statements in this regard. Captain Weintrob said the scar tissue which *

was the result of the operation was readily perceptible and in this connection - ^the operational scars very clearly appear on the left profile photograph taken . Ion the occasion of one of Sinatra* s arrests by the Sheriff's Office at Hackensack,New Jersey. Either the perforation of the tympani or .the mastoid condition is, :

as Captain Weintrob points j>ut,_ cause for rejection of a registrant! under warDepartment regulations.

~~ ~ ^It therefore appears that^Sinatra was properly rejected from military :

service and there is no indication that the statements made in the anonymous letter'

above referred to have any foundation. Consequently, in the absence of |furtherinstructions, no^additional inquiries will be conducted in this matter«j

trial on the battery complaint,signed by Mr. Mortimer.The columnist, gingerly stroking

the left side of his head where thesinger's fist connected, said thatwas all rightThere were hours of indecision

before the arrest. Mr. Mortimergot out of bed at the Beverly-Wil-shlre Hotel this morning with theannouncement that he would waittofcee the X-rays of his injury be-fo*« he took any action.Kbout noon he showed up at

he would have plenty of time tosurrender, wound up make-uptests for a motion picture atMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer and confidently sauntered to the rehearsalat the CBS Vine Street Playhouse"Oh, What a Beee-yoo-tiful

'For two years he's been needlingme," said the crooner, "He calledme a Dago. I saw red."

Said Mr. Mortimer:'1 was standing on the steps out-

side the restaurant when I was hitwithout warning from behind."Mr. Sinatra, weighing 130

pounds, said he entered the clubalone and Joined some friends. Hespied the columnist at a table andnodded in greeting."He gave me a look," said the

MISCELLANEOUS - INFORMATION CONCERNING(ACCOUNTING AND FRAUD SECTION)

On January 16, 1963, FRANK SINATRA and MILTONJL*RUDIN, Attorney at Law and Financial Advisor to SINATRA,were interviewed at the offices of Essex Productions, 9229Sunset Boulevard, Suite 512, Los Angeles, California, con-cerning the Cal - Neva Lodge, Crystal Bay, TfevadaT"

During the course of this interview Mr. RUDIN, withthe consent of Mr. SINATRA, advised that their current plansfor the Cal - Neva Lodge included quite a substantial expan-sion of the hotel which would necessitate the bringing inof some $4,000,000.00 of added capital. RODIN' stated thathe found out by checking into the loan situation that banksand insurance companies, in order to make loans, would askfor stock options, which they are not ready to agree to.

Mr. RUDIN advised that he has become familiar withsome of the pension fund loans from reading the series ofarticles run by the "Los Angeles TimesM on investigations ofloans by the Teamsters to various Nevada casinos and that theseare straight forward loans. He advised that he had gone toChicago and had talked to various Teamster officials in theChicago area concerning the possibility of securing a loanfor Cal - Neva* He advised that the Cal - Neva, at thenext meeting of the trustees for the pension fund in March,will, according to their present plans, apply for a loan inorder to achieve their expansion program*

Both RUDIN and SINATRA advised they wished to go onrecord that there were no under-the-table payments of anykind involved, that this was a simple straight forward

8 b

business transaction with sufficient collateral involved.

the possibility of such a loan was HAROLJD^jIBBONS. SINATRAmentioned that D0KLS*T5Ky had secured a similar type loanfrom the Teamsters for a motel that she owns, and he hadasked her if she had had to cut anybody in, and she advisedhim that it was not necessary, that it was a straight loan.

A review of the minutes of a meeting held onSeptember 21, 1962, by the Trustees of the Central States,Southeast and Southwest Areas, Pension Fund of the InternationalBrotherhood of Teamsters revealed the following pertinentinformation:

Mr. Milton A. Ruden appeared before the Trusteeson behalf of Pari Lake Enterprises

, Incorporated, Cal-NoyaLodge, Nevada.

The borrower was seeking an immediate loan of$3,000,000 with an additional commitment for $2,000,000.This loan was to be used for the purpose of developing

Vi <i -*,»^e/"kr»+vnv vovi v .

Trustee James R. Hoffa summarized the applicationas follows:

The request for the loan was on Park Lake Enterprises,Cal-Nova Lodge, Nevada, for a $3,000,000 present loan with anadditional commitment of $2,000,000. Hoffa asked Ruden toexplain the application.

Mr. Ruden advised the Trustees that Mr. FrankSinatra was the principal stockholder of the corporation.Cal-Nova had been operated for 30 years at Lake Tahoe.Sinatra had acquired majority control over the past twoyears and started an expansion program without permanentfinancing.

JAMES RIDDLE HOPFAPARK LAKE ENTERPRISES, INCORPORATED,Doing Business As CAL-NEVA LODGE,LAKE TAHOE, NEVADA; ET AL

Buden detailed the application and said they wereasking for $5,000,000 with the understanding that the additional$2,000, 000 which would be only 60% of the applicant 9a actualcash was additional investment in additional construction.

In response to a question asked by Trustee AlbertKatheson, Ruden stated that Sinatra and others will have$540,000 plus some monies they have loaned in, namely, aquarter million dollars from various companies*

Ruden continued that it was their intention toput other Sinatra ventures into this which would supplyincome and additional capitalization rather than put intax paid dollars* Ruden also stated that if the Fund put$5,000,000 into this project the property would then beworth from $8,000,000 to $10, 000, 000

.

A motion was made by Trustee Frank Fitzsimmonsthat the loan be rejected on the basis presented and "thatthe man come inM and give a definite presentation) for a futurerequest on the actualities of what is going to be entailedin his request for money*

The motion which was seconded by Trustee JohnSpickerman was carried with dissent*

After the vote, Hoffa who was acting as chairman,advised Ruden as follows:

"The committee has rejected the presentationpresented today and recommends that you present at the nextmeeting here, more concise program - namely, exactly howmuch money you are going to spend, how much money you are

going to have in this from Sinatra and the other stockholders'interest in it, and what your projection is going to be forthe next five years, so we will know exactly what this Fundis investing in. Plus, we want to have an outline as towhat other enterprises will Sinatra put into this operationto show that there will be ability to pay back the moneyhe borrows from us".

Safety BoardSafety Information Washington, D.C. 20594

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ThursdayOctober 6, 1977

SB 77-44/2184(202) 426-8787

The National Transportation Safety Board said today that the crash

of a chartered jet which killed four persons-, including the mother of

entertainer Frank Sinatra, was caused by the crew's failure to properly

interpret their flight clearance.

The plane, a Gates Learjet 24B, operated by Jet A via Ltd. , took

off at 1655:00i^ on January 6, 1977 from runway 30 at Palm Springs

Municipal Airport, California on an Instrument Flight Rules clearance

to Las Vegas, Nevada. About five minutes later the Learjet crashed

in the mountains at approximately 9, 700 feet altitude some 22 miles

northwest of Palm Springs. The local weather observation reported a

ceiling estimated at 3, 000 feet, broken, 5, 000 feet overcast, visibility

8 miles, light rain, wind calm.

The jet's air traffic control clearance required it to make a right

turn after takeoff and position itself on a straight line course between

Palm Springs and Twenty-nine Palms. The jet was to maintain an

altitude of 9, 000 feet and was told to report "crossing" the Palm SpringsUAD Tir2/ net _i _„ _i : ~ i in : t _ r:v jl v uj i Lie^ f ee rctuidi j.u ijUiJ.tr n.\.

The Board's investigation showed the plane took off, climbed to

9,000 feet, but never changed its runway heading and flew directly

into the mountains, killed the two- man crew, and two passengers,

82-year-old Mrs. Natalie Sinatra, and her traveling companion.

"The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable

cause of the accident was the flightcrew's misinterpretation of an

instrument flight rules clearance issued by the Palm Springs Departure.

Control and subsequent Air Traffic Control instructions,

"Contributing to the accident was the controller's failure to detect

the aircraft's deviation from the route of flight contained in the ATCclearance and the flightcrew's failure to recognize their proximity to

the high terrain.

"

2/ A radio navigation station

more

At 1654:10 the FAA local controller cleared the Learjet for take-

off and to maintain "niner thousand. " After the aircraft was airborne

the crew contacted Palm Springs departure control and reported "out

of" 1,500 feet and climbing to 9,000 and the controller requested they

report reaching 9, 000. The controller then requested the flight to

"report crossing 051 radial 10 mile fix. " The flight responded "okay"

and ten seconds later the controller transmitted "and that's the PalmSprings 051 radial, sir, " and again the flight responded "okay.

"

Subsequently, at 1656:25 the Learjet crew reported they had"crossed the radial. " The crew did not specify the "Palm Springs 051

degree radial" or the "10 mile fix, " both of which were included in the

clearance. The Board said that the flightcrew 1s report that they had

crossed the radial "was erroneous" - because the Palm Springs 051 degreeradial exists in the northeast quadrant of the VORTAC and the flight

nevp'' entered that area. The Board concluded that when the crew re-

ported they had crossed the radial they were actually crossing the PalmSprings 231 degree «radlal which is the reciprocal course of the PalmSprings 051 radial. At the same time when the controller received this

report he "assumed" that the crew were crossing the Palm Springs 051

radial at the 10 mile fix, as specified in the clearance.

The Board said it is difficult to rationalize how the flightcrew con-cluded that the runway heading of 300 degrees -- which led them fromthe point of takeoff directly into the mountains -- was to be maintained.

The Palm Springs controller cleared the flight, in part, to Las Vegas"via Palm Springs, direct Twenty-nine Palms. " Based on the existing

regulations the Board concluded that the pilot was required to fly on the

straight line course between these two points, which meant turning off

the 300 degree runway heading as soon as practical after takeoff. "The

controller had specifically ^efined_the_point at which the Learjet was to*-""

report along its cleared route; crossing the Palm Springs 051 degree V.

radial "10 mile fix. " "There was no way this fix could be reached by

maintaining the runway heading, " the Board said, "and no request waslevied on the flightcrew to hold runway heading after takeoff.

"

The Board noted that one possible explanation for the crew's mis-interpretation of their clearance could have been that the crew wereunaware they were operating in non- radar environment and believed

they were under radar control. However, at the time of the accident

the Palm Springs Tower had no radar capability. Consequently, until

the Learjet reached about 9, 000 feet -- the lowest altitude that the

Los Angeles Center radar could pick up its transponder target --noradar information was available to monitor the Learjet' s progress. It

was not until "just before impact" that the Los Angeles Center's radar

picked up the Learjet on their radarscope but there was not sufficient

time to establish radio contact with the flight and vector it away fromthe mountain. Thus, without radar, the Palm Springs departure

controller's knowledge of the Learjet's position could only have beenbased on the route for which he cleared the aircraft -- and the pilot's

progress reports.

In commenting on the flightcrew's "failure to recognize their

proximity to high terrain, " the Board pointed out that "proper exerciseof responsibility" during descents and takeoffs can only be based onknowledge of terrain hazards* However, In this case, the pilot wasfamiliar with the Palm Springs airport and its surrounding terrain.

Thus, the Board said, it could not explain the Learjet pilot's continuanceof a heading that, if maintained would aim his aircraft toward the highestmountain in the area and at an altitude more than 2, 000 feet "below" thehighest terrain. The Board did note, however, that several aircraftaccident investigations have indicated that, since the advent of radarcontrol and its capability to vector traffic, there has been "a derogationof pilot knowledge of terrain over which they fly.

"

In commenting on the controller's failure to detect the aircraft'sdeviation from the route contained in the air traffic control clearancethe Board noted that at 1656;55 the Learjet crew reported they wereapproaching 9, 000 feet and asked if they were cleared "via" the 051degree r^adial to Twenty-nine Palms. The controller replied in theaffirmative and added "I had a change of route there. Maintain 9, 000,I'll keep you advised. " The crew then asked if they were to maintain9, 000 feet "straight ahead, right?" and the controller said they were.The controller's use of "I had a change of route there" appeared to con-firm their belief that their present heading (approximately 300 degrees)was to be maintained until they received clearance to "turn back" towardTwenty-nine Palms and "intercept" the 051 radial.

On the other hand the controller stated that when he said he would"keep them advised" he was only considering the "altitude restriction"of 9, 000 feet. Moreover, since the controller was convinced the flight

was already established outbound on the 051 radial course the queryabout flying "straight ahead" merely meant "continued flight" towardTwenty-nine Palms on the 051 radial. The Board noted that during this

exchange the flightcrew did not apprise the controller of one vital pieceof information their heading, or direction of flight.

Subsequently, at 1658:30 the crew reported they were about 14 milesfrom Palm Springs and maintaining 9, 000 feet on a heading of "three onezero (310 degrees)" and asked "what's our clearance from here. " Thiswas the only transmission from the flightcrew that gave the controller"heading information" the Board said, and a chance to make a reasonablyaccurate estimate of the aircraft's position. However, the Board said,the controller did not recognize the significance of the 310 degree headingor it did not register with sufficient impact to overturn his conviction

that the Learjet was on the 051 radial heading and proceeding toward

Twenty-nine Palms.

The same defects in communication procedures uncovered in this

accident appeared in several earlier accidents, the Board said. As a

result, on July 25, 1977, the Board recommended that the Federal

Aviation Administration require a controller who issues an altitude

assignment, or a heading, to require the crew to read back the

clearance — if the pilot fails to do so on his own. The Board also

recommended that the FAA alert its personnel to the circumstances

surrounding the Palm Springs accident in an effort to prevent any

possible recurrence.

Copies of the Safety Board's complete report cannot be printed for

several weeks. When they are available, however. Single copies maybe obtained without charge by writing to the Publications Branch,
