Dear sender of the Gift Parcel!
Think of young Saxon Boy,
tall, fair, y years old with only
one leg. He fought in Rumania
during the last terrible war, was
badly wounded there, when he
was Is years old, came to Ger,
many and lives there now.
This young Gc.man got gift
parcel coming from Saxon Relief,
Ohio. He unpacked it with eager
hands and saw all the fine things
in it. He was full of JOY and hap
piness He did not see such eatab-
les for many years. For you
must know he lives in Germany,
in poor country in which people
often are hungry all day even
when going to bed. We must
muddle through and make the
best of it. It's not very easy and
often you don't wish living much
longer-but these sad minutes go
by and you think: All things will
have a turn!
My parents live far away in
Rumania, they are farmers there.
they would help me. but they
can't. They are very sad for that
wrote to them of your love.
Every morning l go to my
working place, where | learn
maging and repairing sets of
teeth. | don't know how you call
such a profession. But like it
very much and hope to become a
perfect master in it.
Let me heartily thank you ior
all the fine things you packed
for me. The tailor will make
trousers out of the stuff. | need
them very much. And the fine
eatobles! Let me heartily thank
you for your love!
You will be shocked when read
ing my request: But | dare it, be-
cause | am in lack of all. If you
know a nice American family,
who has not lost all love for Our
Germany, a family who can at
ford sending me a parcel now
and then? | would be so happy !!
Or do you know a young Ameri-
can friend who loves writing let
ters to a German? 7 wish to learn
your language more and more
perfectly. You will find many
mistakes in my lines, but | am
not ashamed Of them.
I heartily great you,

got this power direct from the
Roosevelt government. Til s
power was conferred as a po-
litical favor to an auxiliary of
the Roosevelt party.
About Is million citizens are
now subject to such dismissal
and backlisting by unions with
only the most illusory right of
appeal to the public courts. The
fact that that right is an illusion
is shown by the fact that no
such case has ever reached the
Supreme Court. Not more than
a dozen may be found of record
in the inferior courts.
Such dismissal and ostrac cism
may be imposed as a penalty
for the expression of political
opinions, for buying goods in
forbidden stores, and for joining
a forbidden political party or
faction. They may be thus per
secuted, and their dependents
with them, for organizing order
ly parliamentary opposition IN
their union meetings or holding
caucuses outside regular meet
ings to organize opposition to TIL
ieves, racketeers and thugs.
They may be thrown out per-
manently, under total expulsion,
and thus barred forever from
membership IN all other SYM

that they intend to vote for Gov
ernor Dewey for president.

announcing in 1914
This year the CIO has expell-
ed Harry Bridges from his posit-
ion of regional director on the
Pacific Coast because he exer-
cised his legal right of politi-
cal preference by siding with
Henry Wallace. That is re-
straint on his political liberty.
SUCH INTIMIDATION, the
abridgment of the political and
intellectual rights and the rights
of association of millions of
millions of citizens, has gone un-
noticed by the Herald Tribune
and Mr.. Andrews.
Mr.. Andrews and the Herald
Tribune are late. Most of
their clients have the appear
ance of guilt. The utter impos-
sibility OF giving them formal trl-
alison the issue of Communism
is apparent to all who recall the
the trials Of Harry Bridges, which
took five years and cost a mil
lion, and his final vlndication by
a split verdict of the Supreme
Court.
The United States should have
the power to fire anyone on sus-
picion. There is no right to any
such job. In actual practice it
isn't THE Communist or the fel-
