In March. 1944. Jordan report ed that he was confused as to the scope of his duties regarding shipment of mail and cargo passing pass-ing through Great Falls for Rus sia. He asked whether he should inspect it and especially wanted to know whether it had diplomatic diplo-matic immunity. The only report the army has that he might have been suspicious sus-picious of Russian shipments 'vs at thi time, when Jordan said he thought the volume was unusually un-usually large but said the bulk of it was mail. He told a counterintelligence coun-terintelligence agent at the time that he had had no experience with diplomatic man and was unable to know how to handle it. Jordan pointed out, however, that the bulk of the mail was chiefly American newspapers and periodicals. The only government govern-ment reports he mentioned were not regarding uranium, but regarding re-garding U. S. shipping rates and methods of loading cattle and horses. The Russians had picked un a department of agriculture bulletin on loading livestock into freight cars. At no time did Major Jordan make any reference to Harry Hopkins, Henry Wallace,, uranium, uran-ium, bomb powder, or secret documents. He gave no indication h had broken into any pouches, crates, or suitcases. He did com ment that Russian packages were well-guarded around the clock. The whole tenor of Jordan's report re-port and his conduct at Great Falls was friendly to the Russians Rus-sians and army files indicate that after he left the service he made a speech before a civil club in New York praising "our gallant allies," the Russians. . Public Relations Man Jordan Is no amateur at peddling ped-dling stories to the newspapers. In fact, he has spent most of his life in the public relations field. From 1919 to 1933, he was an advertising ad-vertising representative for McGraw-Hill. During the 30's he worked as a public relations expert ex-pert for various brewing companies, com-panies, Including Schaefers, 1933-34, 1933-34, for the Brewing Corporation, of America, 1934-39, and for Rup-pert, Rup-pert, 1938-39. Between breweries, brewer-ies, 1935-37, he did odd jobs as a free-lance public relations man in New York City. The last job he held before going into the army was a publicity man for the Luckenbach Steamship company in Bremerton, Wash. i It is interesting to note that Jordan was not concerned enough about his story to report it to the FBI: On the contrary, the FBI came to him, after he had tried to give the story to Time Magazine Maga-zine and a representative of Walter Wal-ter Winchell. Time Magazine in cidentally rejected his story after examining his diary. After his discharge from the air force, Jordan stayed around Washington as an expediter, oth erwise known as a five percenter. That's how he eased Into his present pres-ent Job.
