president Of the A. T. & T. He
sits in a room in the Carlton
Washington holding all the
strings, but one OF the reporters
has ever seen him. He holds mys-
ferrous conferences with Sc sretary
Schwellenbach, but apparently
they are held by the light Of the
moon at midnight in a forest.
Letter from a New York asst
editor: THE Charlie Lucky dope
l first sent you said that init
mates say he would get the
medal. You used they say I
would think that this let you out
of any direct responsibility for the
statement. 1t was common knoWl-
edge Gin both the Albany ucler-
world and even with hep legiti-
mate citizens up there) that Lucky
was not in jail for almost two
years before his pardon. He was
in the hands of some u. S. mill
tary intelligence group and oper-
ating from a chicken farm out
side Albany. 1t is rather ridiculous
to assume that U. S. Intelligence
would attempt to invade Sicily
without first enlisting the aid of
the U. S. branch of the Malta,
isn't it? He was and is inter-
national president of that 'benevo-
lent organization. And Charles Tin
the CAM was the perfect man to
make a trade with. Which is
more than I seem able to do with
Winchell these days. 1t is even
more ridiculous to assume that
Dewey, who hated Lucky more
than any other hoodlum (and who
put him away for 80 years., would
pardon him after only nine years,
for no reason at all! Search
back in the files and you will find
a short quote from Dewey to the
effect: I dewey understand he
is being paxdoned for Some al
legged aid he gave the military
forces during the war. . Then,
after everybody denied that
Lucky gave anybody any help, the
World-Telly ran an exclusive with
a Navy Comdr. who said that
Lucky definitely worked on anti
sabotage operations concerning N.
Y. shipping. This was obviously
a coverup. . Why, may I ask,
was a Navy Commanders name
on Lucky's parole papers? Hmm
mmm? 4 doubt if Navy brass
helps to parole hoodlums unless
instructed to do so. / can't help
it if the Daily Communist doesn't
like you. They don't like me, too!
. . Also, how come none of our
colleagues pointed out how smott
it was of you to unveil the medal
plot by reporting it? The para
graph prevented any such wild
thing from happening in the
dark"
