Skeptical, Colonel Miller tele- phoned Congressman Thomas'’s of- fice, reported that Kimmel said he never -met Thomas, had never work- ed for the un-American activities Committee. To, patch up these crossed wires, the Gongressman immediately sent Ray Rockefeller, an investigator for the un-American Activities Commit- tee, to see Colonel Miiler. However, Colonel Miller remained skeptical. He kept private Kimmel in Inter- nal .Security only 18 days, but did not_transfer him overseas. Instead, he.was assigned to the Broadway Central hotel in New York—a tem- porary Army barracks—and later to Gamp Blanding, Fla. Private Kimmel did not go over- seas. His buddies did, many never to come back. Waiting a very scant time after performing this priceless favor, ’Congressman Thomes attempted to cash in on it. The Congressman also orerates an insurance agency cn the side—"Thomas and Godfrey" —so, on Sept. 30, 1943, he. wrote a letter to private Kimmel's father, introducing his insurance partner. “fThis will introduce my partner, Spencer K. Godfrey,” Thomas wrote to the father of the boy who had beén saved from overse: duty. “ .. 1 know that Godfrey can be helpful to you; at least, I would appreciate any courtesies which your nray care to extend him.” The letter got no results.
