November 13, 1947
Dear Mr. President,
I have wanted to write you for a long
time as I have been getting from all of my
friends, Republicans and Democratics alike,
such violent reactions to the Loyalty Tests.
And now, after the dismissal of the ten people
from the State Department, and the article in
the Herald Tribune, I feel I must write you.
I do not feel thatDr. MetaGlass should be
the only woman on the Committee for Review as
she is not a strong enough person. I feel more
people, not lawyers, should be on and another
woman might well be appointed. Perhaps Mrs.
Lewis Thompson of Red Bank, New Jersey, who is
a strong Republican but also a liberal, might
help to interpret the work of this Committee
to the public. Certain things need to be in-
terpreted to the public. My own reaction is
anything but happy. I feel we have capitulated
to our fear of Communism, and instead of fight-
ing to improve Democracy, we are doing what the
Soviets would do in trying to repress anything
which we are afraid might not command public
support, in order to insure acceptance of our
own actions.
I am sorry that I cannot see you before
