moet:
acoused by an ex-Conmunist, nc matter how good a record he
had behind hin." In view of this remarkable misstatement cf
fact by implication, J em constrained to urge you to read -
@Gi artiéie in the Heraid-Trimme of Nov. ist, Magasine Seo-
tion. I promise that you will find much of enligh t in
this article, written @ man who, according to all reports,
had--and DESERVED--the confidence of the last two Presidente
as well as the present Chief Executive. I quote the firat
paragraph of “Breaking The Gommmist Spell," written by that
great American, Mr. J. Edger Hoover:
; "In Americe today, there are hundreds, per-
haps thousands, of people once duped by Commnisn,
who have since broken with the Party. This article
has been written in a sincere effort to reach them
and enlist their help in WIPING OUT THE SOVIET CON-
SPIRACY WHICH THREATENS THE COUNTRY."
I fear greatly, Mre. Roosevelt, that you will not
enjoy reading this article through--but this Nation will
wery greatly profit if you will do go, with a mind OLEANSED
OF THE MALIGNANT PREJUDICr against potentially userul and
worthy citizens for whom in the past, YOUR CHARITABLR
INSTINCTS HAVE BEEN NOTABLY AWD REGR“TIABLY QUIESCENT!
In one of your final varagraphs, concerning the hern
done respectively by Hiss end Chambers, you charged tim the
latter “has dame mich harm.” Certainly, on one ocosrion he
did the Nation a most serious injury. It was only AFTER
the election of 1048 tiat he made the so-called "Purpkin
Papers" public, although he had secreted trem for years.
If he had made them public even threo or four weeke prior
to the 1948 election, the voters would have been eware that
the Truman campaign had been made up largely of lies--an4d
he would have been defeated decisively!
Mra. Roosevelt, I wish in closing to remind you that
dn this case, the time allotted for your repentance ie drav-
4ng closer to its final minutes very rapidly. Will you not
be both American and Chriétian--and d° all at long inst in
your power to correct that section of the deplorable Hies
oase record which has been cherged against you?
May God give you strencth and courans co to Ae!
Very respectfully,
H.8.Truman
D. Acheson
