9 3/R Steel 637 Courtright Blvd. JUL 3 1952 mise Mansfield, Ohio E July 24, 1952 President Harry S. Truman The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Truman: Re: Steel Strike Settlement Secretary of Defense Lovett compared the impact of the steel strike on the nation's defense production program to a devastating attack by enemy bombers, this is the same force on impact of the enemy here in our own land that I have been "squaking" about for some time as you probably already know. In grave tones, Lovett had this to say about the impact of the strike on the mobilization pro gram: Washington AP July 23 -"No enemy action, no form of bombing, could have taken out of production in one day 380 steel plants and kept them out nearly two months. It is tragic that we have done this to ourselves. Whether it is murder committed by someone else or suicide by ourselves, the effect is the same" . Only we would carry the issue much farther than Secretary of Defense Lovett. This statement by Lovett should be enough to convict the six sitting on the United States Supreme Court for treason to the people of the United States. These six will draw fire right down out of the skies if I know anything about world conditions, and our knowledge is just a spark. We place our fingers on these six of the United States Supreme Court for the simple reason they do not read, they can not define or care about anything that is moral or just. They want just the opposite as they are getting today. Yours very truly, bhas F. Eaton Charles F. Eaton cc: Att. Gen. James P. McGrannery P.S.: Relative to Selective Service Act. (Seizure) - Supreme Court says Illegal. Who is the lian, murderer, the untruth, immoral, irreglious, etc.?
