LONG AGO Mrs. Rooseveltmecidled in the Newspaper Guild,which was a Communist organiza-tion. Absolutely ineligible evenon the pretext of her public diary,which is not her principal occ1_Ipa-tion, Mrs. Roosevelt neverthelessaccepted membership to whichshe was not entitled and imme-diately became the political foeof all those American newspaper-men and women who knew thecharacter of the guild, detestedand resisted the dirty work oftireless Muscovites and bravelysuffered its heartless persecutions.

She was granted membershipbecause she was the Presidentswire and tor no other reason,which meant that the Communistswanted to make use of her posi-tion. Thus the victims of the plot

She ison a common footing with Mrs.Smith, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. GeorgeSpelvin, but we always treat ourMadame President with a Specialrespect because the of�ce of herthus-band. which she pertalses 0!,is the highest temporal authorityin our country. But when ourFirst Lady commercializes thatrespect tor pro�t and in competi-tion with the rest of the people byher association with persons whoassociate with enemies of theAmerican system, antagonizes thepeople. it is she. not her critics.who fails in respect for the office.

Mrs. Roosevelt&#39;s quiet saltingaround of her personal friends inthe C�overnment employ is no newthing. The Dies Committee hasknown 0! this for a long time,and has muttered about it. butthe Dies Committee lives under apolitical-sword and has had to-spiral; softly lest Mrs. Rooseveltexilrt her in�uence to stare: itofisnoney with which to contnueits, work.

MRS. ROOSEVELT has abso-lutely no right to appoint anyone-to any pu-hiic position, Tout nowit comes out that she has namedone actor, one eurythrnicist, ordancer, and one secretary irornher private pay roll to paid jobsin the Office of Civilian Defense,and one professional youth-muggto an unpaid position in the sameimportant department. The youth,incidentally, formerly was a fair-haired boy of the CommunistFront, married a young campuscutie who has been iniected withthe Moscow principles and cele-brated her marriage with a piecein a Muscovite paper entitled"My Father Was a Liar,� was di-vorced, and now, at the age of 32,is held up to the American people.by Mrs. Roosevelt, as a person �tfor leadership of American youth.He. also, is on Mrs. Roosevelt&#39;sprivate pay roll. the money forwhich is derived from the com-mercialization of the Presidentialof�ce.

One day in London, during ihelast war, one of the tabloids

came out with a shocking scandal.exposing the fact that "pett.icoatgovernment" had been establishedin Whitehall, and especially inthe war office, whereby certainfavorites of an in�uential ladywere planted in safe and cushyjobs in Blighty. Winston Churchillwould remember it well, for thelady was n relative of his. TheBritish reacted calmly, the lady�sears were slapped down and Brit-ain got into the war. -

Still scrupulously avoiding im-politeness, I insist that Mrs.Roosevelt&#39;s activities have been

Dear Sir: �_ -�. _

After listening to much subversive propaganda over the Radio. Things I&#39;veknown for ten or more years. I&#39;m tempted to ask you If �rs. Elenor Rooseveltisnt a Communist? I have an article printed in a southern paper creditingher milV~giving checks of one hundred Dollars. ¬lO0.00 to a Communist 3¢h001located at Hontsagle Tonn. {Highland Folk School.! This paper shows H Photo-static picture of a check on a Bank of Wow 3ork- dated EFT ?3�1340- °aTFi�¬her signatuyg also 3 lpttgr written by her personal S80. Yelniea C. ThOmpS0�Qn white House stationary praising this School for its 5;I@n313 work. Thisarticle a150 yraises Henry �allace for some articles he should have writtenpraising Lsnin, "ussolina and Hitler.

You no d�lbt know tho part Harry nogkins played in supporting a similar Schoollocated for y~ars at Zena Ark. As +�m told two FEE won were called in before »

they got rid of that I sight you to tho Prss of the Chamber of Commerce of"ens Ark tack in 1539 Visor Titkins. An bttornoy¢ Harry Hopkins was usingW.I.A oney to support that school.

if we can&#39;t got at the bottom of this, Arsrica as we old�r people know it,is gone. +t makes me heartsick.

In 22 instances since 1942 tho state departmenthas refused to grant the FBI permission to arrestknown soviet espionage agents who were stealingatom bomb or other secrets from governmentsecurity files.

I have to admit that this sounds like a baddream out of some opium den. but so help me,it&#39;s all in the record. You can read it yourselfif you&#39;ll write the government printing officefor a copy of senate hearings on communistactivities among alien groups in the U. S.

The FBI spends millions of dollars annuallytracking down espionage agents. G-men worklong; hours and risk their lives trailing the Redsand clocking their espionage not-iviites. They buildup airtight cases, set traps to catch the com-munists redhanded, and then Acheson says "no"

State DepartmentBlocks FBI Case

�IIASI-lINGTON�The state department poiicy�II of shackling the FBI when it attempts toarrest soviet espionage agents in this country,is in effect now, just as it was between �l9_<iD and1946 when 22 of the Kremlin&#39;s atom burglars op-erated with immunity here.

Arthur Adams is the most famous of the 22protected by the state department. He wastrailed by the FBI in 1945 to a Chicago parkwhere he conferred with a U. S. atom bombscientist and then hit for Portland, 0re., and8. soviet ship. FBI agents corralled him thereand physically kept him from boarding the ves-sel. Agents knew Adams had at-om secrets inhis pocket and they called the state departmentfor permission to pick up the spy. Just to keepAdams in custody, a secret warrant. charging himwith a minor -�federal violation, was obtained atthe FBI office in New York. But. the state de-artrncnt said "No" and Adams trotted back

G&#39;men have quit In disgust� and I dwbt if whe Kremlin without even bidding his Wash-one could blame them.

HERE are a few of the Kremlin lads who havebenefited from Achesorrs veto of the FBI:

Andrei I. Schevchenko, at Russian agent, en-tered the U. S. in 1942. He was allowed in thecountry as a representative of the aviationdepartment of the soviet purchasing commission.This is how much purchasing Schevchenko did.He hotfooted it to the Bell Aircraft Co. in Buf-falo, N. Y., and got busy trying to bribe workmenthere to pass along blueprints and other informa-tion to him. When the FBI got on his trail theysewed him up tight and asked permission for thepinch. The state department said no. and fouryears later, in 1946, Schevchenko was allowedto leave the U. S. you can guess what he kepton doing those four years he stayed in the U. S.

Gregori Mari-tovlch Kheifets, soviet vice-consulat San Francisco, arrive&#39;I in the U. S. in 1941.I-le left with a bundle of secrets in 1954. Duringhis stay here he used the espionage net covername of �Brown�. He operated an illegal radiostation from the San Francisco consulate, moni-toring U. S. broadcasts and sending out messagesto other Red spies in the country. The FBIhad the goods on him. The state department,so that diplomatic relations with the SovietUnion would not be disturbed, said no again.

Tim 20 others included such as Pavel Mik-hallov, acting consul general for the Soviet

Union and head of the Red e8pi�&#39;nag""ethe U. 8.; Vsssili M. Zubelin, head of the soviet-secret pence. who stayed two years in the U. s. jas second secretary of the soviet embassy .Washington. if

Sergi Grigorievich Luklanov, responsible tospying on U. S. naval information,� a ii-iosc....=courier named Vassilenko. who left Washingtonfor Moscow by plane with seven diplomaticpouches filled with espionage data. The FIB!dldn�t dare to touch Vassilenko, even though itknew what he was carrying. The state depart-ment said no.

You might think these 22 are isolated instances,where someone in the state department like AlgerHiss issued the anti-arrest orders to the FBI.You�cl be wrong. It was, and still is, a state de-partnicnt policy. No communists as such in thestate department: gre "responsible for the order.It is an order promulgated after study and di.s- Icussion by our diplomaticcificials, who are nowasking us to abide by their latest decisions and Hisupport their efforts. The same brains are theretoday, minus hiss." r�r

ington friends in the department goodbye.

VASSILI M. ZUBELIN was head of the NKVDin Washington from 1942 to 1944. He was

third secretary of the soviet embassy in Wash-ington, and his wife, Elizabeth Yurovna Zubelin,handled embassy spying among communist wom-en in the U. S. Zubelin�s activities were naileddown by the FBI. Demands for a pinch were inthe works when the state department steppedin again. So far as anybody knows, Zubelin wouldstill be operating out of the soviet embassy inWashington except that his activities got sobrazen that even the communists got nervous.The Kremiin called him home for s. little recon-dlt-inning.

One of the real cuties of the soviet spy networi-red out of the soviet consulate offices in NewYork. She is Olga Valentlnovna. Khlopkova, a.clerical employs in the soviet vice-counsel�: office.in Los Angeles until she graduated to espionage.She had to go back to Russia in 1944 for a littlemore schooling in spying before she took on theNew York job. The state department gave herthe necessary travel permits. ~Her main job aftersettling down to work was handling funds forsoviet spies.

SHE paid off Kremlin agents short of funds aswell as U. S. communists who were helping

clean out the atom bomb cupboard. But the FBIcouldn&#39;t lay a glove on her because the statedepartment didn&#39;t want to upset diplomatic re-lations with our Russian ally. This overworkedpolicy seems to nave been predicated on statedepartment fears that if we stopped soviet spy-ing the Kremlin would get sore and refuse toaccept any more lend-lease tanks and planesfrom us.

When the Canadian Royal Mounted police blewthe lid off the soviet atom spy net in that.coun-try, a lot of Kremlin err-and buys who had beennot-footing back and forth across the borderinto the U. S. were exposed. Vitali Pavlov, sec-ond secretary of the soviet embassy" in Canada.was the trigger man who kept the spy ring&#39;run-ning on this continent. He limited his top levelespionage dealings to Leonid Tarcsov, secretaryof the soviet embassy in Mexico; Vassili Georgie-vlch Dolgov, attache of the soviet embassy inWashington, and Vassili D. Minonov, assistant-aaretary in the same embassy.

WHEN the Canadians rounded up the Russiansand out of courtesy, took their secret find-

ings to the White House, state department andFBI, nobody but the FBI got excited. Otherparties yawned and pointed out that it was statedepartment policy not to molest the friendlyR-eds. This, of course, was five years ago. Natur-ally, you&#39;d think things would be different now.Just as a kicker, so we can get startedwl itlater, here is a ttltcanont by Jess s.erekrs*wr.state department protector during the &#39;?l!l8l

.1; UN Members

Are Spyingon U. S.�WASHINGTON-�It&#39;s unfair to say that tho

dying United Nations is completely com-munist dominated. A realistic appraisal of sovietcontrol of the UN can be obtained, however, byJooking at the facts.

Files of the central intelligence agency inWashington contain proof that representatives of32 members of the United Nations are engagedin espionage work for their governments.

The same files reveal that 29 of these indi-viduals are high-ranking officials of Communistparties in foreign countries, now working at UNheadquarters in New York.

Twenty-one of the 29 are engaged in activecommunist organization work of an undergroundor subversive nature in the U. S. Out of thetotal of 32 representatives oi ioreign nations,who came to the UN with instructions from theircommunist-controlled governrnent to spy, onlythree. according to the CIA, are beginning toweaken by displaying pro~American sentiments.

ON July 13, 1949, Rear Adm. R. H. Hillen-koetter. then director of the CIA, informed

a senate committee investigating soviet espionagein the U. S. of the above facts. The statedepartment has not picked up the passports ofany of the 32 named by the admiral. They arestill at the UN, at B. time when American par-ents with sons in Korea are anxiously awaitingagrzressive action from this int-ernatione.l organi-cation.

Here is the CIA estimate of what some of these32 individuals do under the cloak of UN business,as well as hov: some of them behave as humans.

Communists in the UN, �place agents in strate-gic defense installations, arrange communicationfacilities for these agents, organize communistcells among seamen and then use the seamen ascouriers, work with communist elements in im-migrant groups. organize pressure groups in orderto combat political and miiltary measures con-sidered unfavorable toward the soviet-satelliteaxis." That espionage.

Now for the human side of these soviet agent:in the UN, as described by the CIA:

KIT is of interest to note that many of theseofficials have had legal training and have

practiced as lawyers. Quite :1 few have Journal-lstic backgrounds. Not much mention is made oftechnical espionage training, although it may beassumed that many, particularly old line com-munists and those who have visited the USSR,have received indoctrination to this type.

�It is of further interest that the wives of thesemen are ardent communists in their own rightand occasionally even act as agents themselves.They are mentioned as exerting strong in�uenceon their husbands.

"In conclusion, these officials do not appearto be, in most cases, men of high moral stand-ards or idealistic motivation. Many of themare described as clever, unscrupulous, opportu-nistic, ambitlous and elven to shady financialdeals or occasional blac&#39;s-marketing.�

ROM the minds and ambitions of such asF these come the decisions on Korea; the delib-erations of life or death, Do you wonder nowwhy the UN delz;_vs_.=lab:l1ng the communists inQhine. aggre5sors? �N173-&#39; General I MacArthur�airaits the UN orders that will free him to securevictory in Korea?

These men, of course, are the foreign r¬l11�6-sentatives at the UN. U. S. cztizens at the _UNnormally could handle riffraff of this SHIPB-assuming they had the will. There is some Q1195-

Mother; I have here a letternfrom s lady in Trenton,New Jersey in which she says For a long time we haveheard about the important influence big-timegamblers or racketeers of some kind have had in gcertain government circles» The other day I reed ~that the Senate Crime Investigating Committee saysthat the tee huge crime syndicates operating in trcountry have caused widespread corruption infederal, state and local governments, and that thereis shocking evidence of official connivance in behalfof organized crime. It reminds me that not lcggbefore Senatorw Kefauver&#39;s investigations began,I heard someone say that if big-time organized crimeis not halted.in this country, it will be contollingelections and electing the presidents within twentyfive or fifty years. no you consider this simplysensational talk or do yon believe that crimesyndicates could eventually control politics?"

I think it would be quite easy for crimesyndicates to control politics, if we werescquiescent and allowed tram to do so, but I think 1that the mere fact that they did appoint this 3investigating committee and that we are now havingit all brought out in the Open, is our safeguardin this country. It is what always happens.He get it out before the people and in the mere factof doing it and getting the top ncople, we sic? th?ghinu fnnm ¢rnu1na_u "b ---_ Q.--_"D.

Uhy has our FBI not brought these people before theBar of Justice before? why should it be a

Congressional investigating committee?

I don*t know�unless it is they are very - theyalways have very expensive lawyers, Ind they tryto keep Just within the law in what they do,and it may well be that it required certainparticular - uh - rules - uh ~ to allow them tobe brought before the public, so to speak, becausethat is what a Congressional committee does.

It is my feeling that is {hat has happened.

Perhaps we should change our laws so as to allowthis to be&#39;done;by the FBI.

I think that our FBI is � interrupted! _

Might lead to that - interrupted!

But I-think our FBI is plenty in the law interrupted!, but I think what has happened, we haveshackled the FBI, not made them large enough, notprovided them with enough funds to really get theJob done. It is only when a Senate InvestigatingCommittee comes along with two hundred fifty, fivehundred thousand dollar appropriation, and is ableto spend it on these hearings, that we ere ablereally to go to town. But if the Department ofJustice were given the proper funds to enable theFBI to carry out the same investigations that arecarried on by the Senate, then I think thatwe could have a much more efficient curb ofcrime.

MRS. R: I&#39;think that is undoubtedly true: that�! hevc saidA - .&#39; an�several times and for a long "hiJE tna my o

Yea. I also feel there should be a great deal moredone with regard to checking into our own departmentsof the federal and state governments in the nay ofcontinuous checks to see to it that crime,gamblers, recketeers, et cetera, and people who sell -influence, do not have an opportunity to get Iseine-~ - &#39; /

1 &#39;.

Yes,�I think that is very - interrupted!

And to corrupt officials in the various departments.

I think that is undoubtedly true. I think there is _s great deal too much of that.

And the only reason they could exist over any extendedperiod of time is that there are not funds appropriatedat the present time,to my knowledge, to check into -such activities.

.I do remember that. I remember great indignationbecause he would drop in at odd hours in the cafeteriaand discover who-left their offices and went for a

cup or coffee. [ Leugh!. There was a great deal ofcriticism. Laugh!.

I think ene ef the funniest etories en that, es Iremember it, one day he came storming into thecafeteria in the,Interior Building and saw the place

4 _ .- Just filled with people having e snack and for e cupqf. it of coffee; and he ordered the cafeteria closed, and� L é ordered everybody to be fired who was in there" ~- and then he discovered these were the people who

had Just come oft their shirt and were getting readyto go home. Laughing!. a

I do also think there should be e gent deal more. done at the local government level to expose in the

_ various states and at least enable it to be published92&#39; 4.. when a man is cooperating with these racketeers.

_&#39;f&#39; &#39;_;For instance, I~read not long ago a report of�"&#39;testimony&#39;before a senate Crime Investigating committee

when they took a report by a sheriff from Leu1818hB-and he testified openly ho had allowed theCostello group to come in and open s notnrienegambling place in his con.|r".1nity and that h= ma"nothing wrong in it, that if people wanted to gamble,they were going to gamble - period. And then itcame out that he had made hundreds of thousands ofdollars in gambling bets, and he made e great pointof stating that he had paid his federal income taxon those earnings. Now.

I suppose it should. There is no doubt about that.I am afraid human nature being what it in, it isawfully hard always to control what people want tcdo. If they want to do it, they find weya of doingit, as we learned in ?rohihition end at variousother times,_but I do think you could remove asmuch reason and temptation as possible.

Hell, I have one more question in connection withthis particular subject. where dons influence beginand where does it end? we read about the peoplewho sell their influence with governmentdepartments and then we read also a little furtheralong that Senators and congressmen irite lettersand urge on organizations like the RFC on behalfof individuals�? that their loans should beapproved. Hhat is influence?

Hell, I think it is entirely proper for anyone,whether they are an official or unofficial, todraw the attention of s government officialor a government body to something that_comes tothem because it may be s good thing. They may.believe it 18 a good thing and should be done, butI think the point is that the government bodyshould never feel that they are obligated to dosomething that they don&#39;t think that is rirhtafter invegtigation, and I thin? that that it whcrothe harm comes, that from certain people like

Just that is meant by the tern "Conference" J5when the whole earth is aware of the adsmqct fact that Russia&#39;ssole object is to crush the capitalistic rder or the West. lsanyone so naieee as to pretend Qt;-lief�hst declared motive teahe a fiction, or so idiotic as to g no that Russia is to be�talked or negotiated out or it?

Dear Ire. Roosevelt: , _;92- .92

Thank you for your letter of last Tuesday, Oct. 87th.If rev I111 esain read the girst line! cs the second lestparagraph oi� sq latter to The Buffalo Hews oi� October let, Ian sure you will find that I used the word, �amazing,� andnot sensing in oonnection with a remark in {our letter oi�June Brd. l952. I fully agree with you that here wasnothing amusing� in the comment referred to.

I regret that I must disagree with your statementthat you �have never made any speeches or said anything iner: eelaxnn cg: in any we; wee derogatory to thie :92.:&#39;.tio::."lost of your columns relative to the Hiss case appearedin only the early nail edition or the Buffalo Oourier-Expressand are therefore not on rile either at the local librariesor at the offices oi� that paper.

�at ot January 26, 1950, written at Portland, Ore-gpn, happens to be available and is quoted herewith;

�Everyone lice been ceking no shat I thin}: ctthe Alger �ies jury verdict. I do not see that thereie much to be laid. . . Trial by your peers is lup-posed to be the lest word in safeguarding the innocent.8o how can any of us question it? There is one moresafeguard or appeal and lir. Rise� counsel has announcedthat he is going to agesl. He must believe in hie cli-ent&#39;s innocence and Tl-IE ULTIMATE TRIUMPH O1" IRUTH.

In concluding this colum you have gone on recordwith a statement which, it it mane anything, is definitely�derogatory to this nation" and its system oi� trial by jury.It it means nothing at all, neither do any oi� the remarkswhich have recently been shouted to the world by ViehlnI3&#39;-1.-!!e�ioto!i&#39;, Qr%vko e__n.1i Garry, so 1&#39;l9211&#39;0I1l1!&#39;- 5"�10921I1!-Ire.

&#39; U- � b7¢-I "&#39; 3 "&#39; Icy. 2, 1:-11:�

as has been nentioned before, this is the only one ofyour columns relative to the I-lies affair ehich appeared in anyedition of the courier-Express other than the early nail one.is yet, I have been unable to secure copies of other similarexpressions, from the Library of congress or elsewhere. Iut Idistinctly recall that others were even snore is-proper thanthe one quoted above» particularly the one in which you gaveunstinted approval to the hlasphenous statement by Acheson tothe tfrcot that in rifuting to -turn ii tack� upon ilger iiiii, actually guilty of treason as well as as-Jury!, he was fol-lowing the principles laid down by the of Galilee.

as your files may ltill chow, I wrote you on !&#39;ehruar-5&#39;l&#39;th, 1950 as follows concerning that column:

"92�.&#39;ith tinmmbcred millions of other loyal abdthoughtful Americans who he! ieve implicitly in the One&#39;I&#39;a�no delivered the Sermon on the iiount, which ins comadown through the ages with ever-increasing magni�cence,I was shocked and revolted by your recent cosmcnts eon-cerning the Aohesongiiiss incident."

I urged that you make it clear in an early column to your lacyreaders that the comments in question were not intended in anyway as a reflection upon our system oi� trial by jury. Youwere good enough to reply to my letter--but that was all.

It is most remarkable that you stats in your letterthat Hiss occupied a minor position "and he wou d have nodecisions to make.� In Yalta, his influence played a verylargo part in porouadiz-.3==:t Stalin�: re:-,uc:t== the this!� oi�the United States Delegation to take a etep in regard to theestablishment of the Polish boundary which on his return toIashingtcn, Ir.

In what follows, hereafter, you will find my reply toyour criticism of sly lack of charity toward hiss, and anexplanation of I1 reference shove to the ache:-on statementae "hlasphe|sous. as should nest certainly hafshheon knownto Acheson, the scn of a minister of the uoeP°1 lllut 01&#39;1-dently not to yourself, duo perhaps to the lack of earlyreligious training!, throughout the Scriptures there runsan underlying principle that when an eeildoer realise his___Q 4__ .4..__..l-__._�__ __ --_-ad-I-1 -ace-ilsanlessn�t Q� QB?IIIICI 101&#39; IDPBIYUIIUIIQ -ll --5710"�->15 Vivi�-5"�-�J "&#39; "&#39;5&#39;

Ihile this letter is already long, I cannot retraintron enlightening you as to my reasons for criticising theformer President tor having tailed to pardon �ies.

A RE-&#39;I�URN1&#39;0 EB WHITE HOUSE--i&#39;ruman had two alternatives confrontinghis Ihen hiss Ias convicted, it he Iae AN HONORABLE IL�.

First, he could apologize abieetly to his fellowAmericans tor having sen the sleet on by reprehensibly andi-nexeusably vicious means--for having provided the Kremlinduring hie eawaig: eith invaluable material for propagandapurposes, to this Iaticn&#39;s lasting detriment: and tenderedhis resignation. Second, if he had believed slut he had soleny tines shouted vehemently at every opportunity as tothe �red herring" character of the investigation of Hils,he should have issued ienedistsly e Presidential pardon forthe traitor--in Ihioh ease, his resignation would quiteprobably and properly have been delivered to him eithoutdelay by c�neeel O! course, in vies oi� the vastly dir-Ierent def tion oi� the vord, �honor� in the Ienderg-.etdictionary and that used in our echoold and colleges, aswell as elsewhere, it see not to be hoped that frunanwould act upon either of the alternatives outlined. ashe said after the Bias conviction--erroneously--to thereporters who in the line ct daty asked tor his coganentsas to the Bias finale, "the ease is closed YLRIODI

Io the disconfiture oi� that vain little nan, he willvery probably live to see historians of vision and compot-enoe refer to his as "the nest effiei ent tool ever to comr-into the hands oi� the Reds, by the use of which their testoi� establishing spy rings in America see node tar sssler--and the nest disreputable high official or the Governmentaver to pollute the atmosphere or Iaehington!"

I prcniee that go will find Inch of enlightenment inthis article, written a nan who, according to all reports,had--and DEBERVED--the confidence of the last tlo Preeidenteas well as the present Chief bceeutive. I quote the firstparagraph of �Breaking The lomluniat Spell,� Iritten by thatgreat anerican, Ir. J. Edgar Hoover:

_ _ �In America today, there are iaandreds, per-haps thousands, of people once duped hy �oemunisn,who have since broken with the Party. This articlehas been written in a sincere effort to reach themand ernliet their help in UIPIHG OUT THE SOVIET GON-SPIRACY much :l&#39;11REA&#39;m:s was ccmurmr.�

In one of your final paragraphs, concerning the hamdone respectively by Hiee and Chambers, you charged that thelatter "has done much harm." Certainly, on one occeeion hedid the Iation a most serious injury. It Ice only AFTERthe eleetioncf 1948 that he made the so-called "PIl1&#39;rpk1�Papere" public, although he had secreted ti"-em for years.If he had made them public even three or four seeks priorto the 1948 election, the votere would have been aware thatthe Truman campaign had been made up largely of lies--andhe would have been defeated decisively! �

Ire, Roosevelt, I Iish in cloning to remind you thatin this case, the time allotted for your repentance is drac-ing cloeer to its final Iinutee ye:-y_rap_idly, _Ei1l_yo92_n notbe both American and Olnrietian--and do all ct long last in

Mr. J, Edgar �oover

Dear Sir

"There must have been some laxness on thenert of the FBI." _,, _

Again old 1edy¢Foceeve1t shoots off her big7 mouth.

If laxness can be blamed on you, then it isbecause you are so busy with the Communists she playedaround with when in the White House.

Eqery time you oeonle expose any Comwunistshe is right on the job to smear you.O

Can&#39;t understand why she can&#39;t be out intosome institution for t�e feeble minded, she is nothing bute trouble maker going from city to city noisoning theminds of the neoole against their government. gi#;92&#39;I

I begin that way. for I&#39;m going to say somethingyou might not like.- I em enclosing e cliooing for I thought _the sane thing. For the first time I was stonned on gettinge dream - it wee incomnlete! and imnressed to read a versein the Bible - "The Lord will take care of you - hold thyoeece." I wonder why. was that an eye ooener! I also senseda bell-tolled nine times it could have been hand grenades.

&#39; I bought the March Issue of Dell Astrology and notedthe write uo of you & the F.B.I. - didn&#39;t like it e I thoughtof Hitler & his astrologer he was ill advised. Don&#39;t be caughtrelaxing your duty there for �Sh. For it looks dark to me.. Iwonder if some of those moon & ster gazers could be Comwunists Don&#39;t let them feed you tsffy. The Public knows you are abachelor! Sore one is thinking of e time bomb. I would becareful ¢ check shrubbery - buildings - autos - March 23rd -Arril 23 - & June l�lh ere stend out dates. I believe they= reafter the President - won&#39;t be for sure - check his nlane F!&#39;

Ml

on every trin - also car. If he is hurt - others will be. { !92_/

Don&#39;t break your arm - netting yourself on yourback over that write u". Your work is not over by any means.

l Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke over the Moscow radio I, 10,-57, &#39;according to an article in today-�s newspaper, and criticised the policy 6 the[United States Department cl State which prevented her from visiting con&#39;.r:mnistChina. Mrs. Roosevelt reportedly declared that she believed Americans shouldbe allowed to visit communist China because "I think the more we know about

other parts oi the wortd and the more they itnow about us, the better it Fiii be. � The New Xorh i�1�imes, 9/12/57, p. 21! .

Mrs. Roosevelt&#39;s appearance and statements on the Moscow radio shouldprovide communist propaganciists with fresh material tor their eainpaiii den and -ing recognition d communist China.

The present activities of Mrs. Roosevelt are particularly� interesting inyiew oi her position as honorary chairman oi the Americans for De:-nocratir Actitn"� ADA!. Last Spring, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. , National Vice-C1.-airxran ti theADA, stated that it was the wisdom oi people such as Mrs. Roosevelt that hag!

q|||�n>

�helped the ADA in its formative period to avoid many pitfalls at a time wiufx "_:pr--F�I liberals still had the naive notion that they couid worn: irlm aornrniirusts l.Il92}_"Il-.§�lot mutual confidence and trust." ii Schlesinger and other ADA spokesmen are as

sincere as they purport to be in their eiiort to combat communism, they should ,h point out that many people today, including the honorary chairman oi the ADA -

itseti apparently, still subscribe to the �naive notion" that they can "work =.*tiiH Communists in terms ti mutual trust and coniidence. " ADA World. stay, 1957,e-4M!

This country has suiiered enoug&#39;i iron. the individuals anti groups who,bile stressing their etiorts to combat "the perils oi Communist iniilirsticn andFecelt" as does the ADA, engage in and support activities which open the doors
