Dear Mr. Hoover:
I should like to congratulate you for the manner in which you
have conducted yourself as head of such an organization as you do
head. JI would like to call your attention to the following facts
with which I know you are familiar?
1. "In the case of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, decided June
19, 1953, revorted in 346 U.S. 273 Supreme Court Justice Douglas
granted an order to stay the execution of said Russian spies. Thi
stay order was granted by Justice Douglas on the intervention of &
stranger to said Posenbergs, ard to their case, which intervention
was even oovosed by the Fosenberg Counsel of Record, Said strangef,
who was thus accomodated by Douglas was an 4rresponsible character
whose conviction as & dissolute person by: the State of California
had been affirmed by the United States Supreme Court, with the same
Associate Justice Douglas dissenting, less than six months previously
in the case of Eddleman Vs. the State of California 344 U. S. Reports
357." I quote from a Resolution requesting the impeachment of six
members of the United States Supreme Court which was adopted by the Vf
General Assembly of the State of Georgia on February 22, 1957. That
in said decision, Justices Frankfurter and Black supported the un-
lawful action of Justice Douglas, thereby using their fudictal offices
to give aid and comfort to the communist enemy, in violation of Sec~
tion 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment oO ns Tnited States Constitution.
2. "In the United States ¥,. Dennis and oth cases infetvite b
L leading Communist Party organizers 4n the United States, decided .
\ June 4, 1951, renorted in 341 0. S. 494, Justices Reed and Frarkfur-
ter dissented and criticised the wa jority opinion of the Court,
affirming the conviction and sentence of said Communists, by assign-
ing the specious reason that the prosecution of said defendants for
organizing the Communist Party in the United States for the purpose
of overthrowing by force the Goverrment of the United States and its
Constitution was @ Violation of the freedom of speech, under the First
Amendment to the Constitution. Thereby said Justices Reed. and_Frank-
furter used their high judicial offices to give aid and comford to
the Communist enemy, in violation of Section 3 of the Bod¥tedntt’
Amendment of the United States Constitution."
