HENRY ROSEN, D.D.S.
240 stockton STREET
7
SAN FRANCISCO
October 25, 1947
Harry F. Truman,
320-B
Presedent of the United States
Washington, D. C.
Sir:
Con-R
No sane American should be envious of the
man in the White House. No man living today
has greater problems to solve than you.
With all your troubles, your trials, your
annoyances, I call upon you to PUT AN END TO
THE THOMAS-RANKIN UNAMERICAN COMMITTEE. It is
no longer'a joke. It is no longer a circus.
This, sir, is Fascism in action. You need not
read about it in books. You have it in your
front yard. This sort of government is an
importation from Hitler's Germany. Do we need
a swastika to fly from the dome of the Capitol
to complete the picture?
Mr. President, this is an American talking.
I fear for my liberties. I fear for my freedom.
I FEAR FOR EVERYTHING AMERICAN STANDS FOR. You
must alleviate this fear; you must do away with
the Thomas-Ranking committe now investigating
Hollywood.
Citizens of a free America,
Henry Rosen, D.D.S.
Florence M. Rosen
