[REDUCTED] would-be radio repair man, advised this office that on April 29, 1945 he installed at the home of captioned subject, [REDUCTED], a "Hammerlund H.Q. Receiver #120X". [REDUCTED] stated that since this type receiving set is of a kind which is generally used by amateur radio experts or professionals and since the radio set itself was in such condition as to indicate that it had been purchased under a very high priority, he inquired of the subject how he happened to be in possession of such a radio set. [REDUCTED], according to [REDUCTED], was vague as to where he got it, saying that it had belonged at one time to NIKOLA TESLA'S son and was purchased before the war in New York City. [REDUCTED] did not make any notation of the serial number of this radio but advised that under pretext he can review the operation of this set in the apartment of the subject and at that time get the serial number.
