727 42-02 Layton Street Elmhurst, New York May 24, 1946 11.15 PM Dear Mr. Truman: You may speak for 140,000,000 Americans but you do not speak for me. I do not think any group of men has a right to strike against the Government, but the picture is not as one- sided as you have painted it. I am thoroughly ashamed of you. I have been your friend - even over the heads of many of my betters - and you have sold me out. The National Anthem was a poor tune to play after you made your speech. You not only sold me out but you sold me out to Senator Byrd and Senator Taft. That I cannot forgive. Franklin is turning over in his grave and Adolph is smirking. Very truly yours, Gertrude Ozburn P.S. And Mr. Ickes said, "I have to live with myself for the rest of my life. And so do I. And so do you. May God have mercy on your soul!
