Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lapointe Celebrate Golden Wedding Anniversary

Former FBI File Clerk Tells
Of Romance with J. E. Hoover

A 68-year-old former FBI
file clerk and code-breaker has
written a book describing the
love she shared with J. Edgar
Hoover.

Titled "FBI Woman,” the
book tells of the mostly platonic
relationship between the late
FBI director, who never mar-
ried, and Mrs. Blonde Fowler, a
divorcee who worked at the
FBI's Washington headquar-
ters from 1943 to 1952.

Mrs. Fowler, a resident of
Jacksonville and now employed
in’ the City's legal aid de-.
partment, said she decided to
tell her’ story -because “I kept
hearing all this dirt: about

E

Hoover, especially about homo-
sexuality.”

“I have no proof—just the
memories anda couple of

”" she said.

‘According to Mrs, Fowler's
account, Hoover and she were
engaged to be married at one
time, but she returned his ring
following an argument in his
office. On several occasions

after that, she said, they ‘dis-~

cussed marriage.
“We were in love,” she
said. “Maybe we were a little

d
old-fashioned. We were very _

close for many years,”

They never married, Mrs.
Fowler® said, because of an
ailment she suffered stemming
from operations she underwent.

“shortly after the birth of her’

daughter. Her only marriage
ended in divorce in 1985.

She describes . that “final
meeting in the book.

“At the hotel I sat still in
the car a moment looking at
him. The storm was over and

felt relieved. It was going to be
all right,

“Ignoring the agent's pre-
sence, I hugged John Edgar
and said, ‘Goodbye, dear. Take
care of yourself.”

‘He kissed me and replied,
‘Goodbye, Blonde. Til see you
soon, Have a good trip home’.”

. Mra. Fowler said she was

her.'mother? a few"
“weeks' later “in Jacksonville’

when she “opened a

‘Are Organized Gang

“The Williamson -Gang is
the slickest and most successful
clan of bunco, flim-flam and
confidence artists in the United
States,” the U.S. National Bet-
ter Business Bureau says.

The gang, a band of 250
intermarried descendants of a
Scottish con man, is on: its
annual tour of the Northwest,
making victims of the gullible.

Law enforcement agencies
say the Williamson gang and
the related Boswell group de-
‘frauds and cons thousands of
‘personsa year. It is penny-ante
organized crime that adds up to
bigtime larceny.

“They hit old people. Just
last week a man living near
Lacey, Wash. was hit for $365,
They sprayed this aluminum-
colored stuff on his roof. They
didn’t even bother to clean his

roof first. I don't think the so-
called sealer will last through
the “summer,” sdid Mac Mc-
Farland of the Thurston County
sheriff's office.

Tacoma officials reported
that one old woman paid a Wil-
liamson gang member $195 to
prune trees. He got the cheque
and left immediately for the
bank, where: he altered the
cheque and cashed it for $695.
No trees were pruned. ¥

The first Willixmson was
Robert Logan Willamson, who
went to the U.S. from Scotland
before the turn of the century.

By 1914, he had established the —

gang on the East Coast.

The gang was first re-
ported in Washington state in
1923. Law officers say it has
toured the Northwest. almost
every year for 53 years.
