tan mates eee ote Oe - t emaamnei om «:. uot ‘ * 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 Copy to oe bre
