As yet, I have been unable to secure copies of ether similar expressions, from the Library of Congress cr elsewhere. But 7 distinctly recall that others were even more irproper than the one quoted abdove-- particularly the one in whieh you geve unstinted approval to the blasphemous statement by Acheson to She effect that in refusing to “turn my back” upon Alger Hier, (actually guilty of treason as well as perjury), be was fol- lowing the principles laid down by the of Galilee.
