RE SUSPECT DOYLE FIELD AKA DOLE FIELDS

The following investigation was conducted by SA [REDACTED b6, b7C, b7D, b7E] at Los Angeles, California, in an effort to develop background information concerning captioned suspect and to ascertain if he should be considered a logical suspect in this matter:

[REDACTED b6, b7C] Screen Actors Guild, 7750 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, advised on 6/4/74, that he had caused a search to be made of current and former members of this Guild and could locate no record for the name DOLE FIELDS or DOYLE FIELDS. The source said stuntmen belong to this Guild. He said, however, he had never heard of FIELDS.

[REDACTED b6, b7C] Screen Extras Guild, 3629 Cahuenga Boulevard West, Los Angeles, advised on 6/4/74, that she had conducted a search of the present and former membership records of this Guild for the names of DOLE FIELDS or DOYLE FIELDS with negative results. [REDACTED] said she had never heard of FIELDS.

Inquiry at the Stuntman's Association of Motion Pictures, 4810 Whitsett Avenue, North Hollywood, on 6/4/74, revealed that records of the Stuntman's Association contained no information concerning DOLE FIELDS or DOYLE FIELDS as either a current or former member. It was determined that a television series based on the exploits of sky divers entitled "Rip Cord" was filmed several years ago and that stuntmen were used in the show. However, inquiry developed no information which would associate the name of DOLE FIELDS or DOYLE FIELDS with this show.

[REDACTED b6, b7C, b7D, b7E] advised on 6/21/74, that "Rip Cord" was a half hour television show which was produced in the early 1960's by Ivan Tors-Ziv-United Artists Production. The source said he had no information concerning DOLE FIELDS or DOYLE FIELDS and could locate no information which would associate these names with the series. Source noted that both Ivan Tors and Ziv apparently are no longer in the television business, and source suggested that the best information concerning "Rip Cord" probably would be obtained through United Artists.

[REDACTED], United Artists, 1041 North Formosa Avenue, Los Angeles, advised on 7/9/74, that this company produced the television series "Rip Cord" [REDACTED] said all records of this television production have been sent to the New York headquarters of United Artists and are in storage. [REDACTED] said he did not know the name DOLE FIELDS or DOYLE FIELDS. He said this company utilized union members on the show and that if someone by this name had been used on the show his name should appear in the records of either the Screen Actors Guild or the Screen Extras Guild.

[REDACTED b6, b7C] said he did not know what sort of a project it would be for United Artists, New York, to search the records of "Rip Cord" for the name of FIELDS. He thought, however, that it would be a considerable task. He said also he did not believe that a positive search would be of any current value to locate FIELDS because of the passage of time.

A review of Los Angeles telephone directory reveals a DOYLE FIELDS, 15657 Romar, Mission Hills, California, with a listed telephone number of 893-6875.
