Since the foregoing was writ
ten Mr.. j. Edgar Hoover has spo-
ken-and he didn't leave Mr.
Truman a leg to stand on.
This fact by now must be APP
parent to the entire nation.
President Truman and his as
sociates clearly did not recognize
the nature of the Communist
menace and did nothing to pro-
tect the nation against its Com
muniSt enemies-or the people
like White who were giving the
Communists vital information
which was being withheld from
loyal American citizens.
The country is in a pretty dan
gerous situation when its top Of
ficials can close their files by exc
cutive decree-and then later re-
fuse to answer a subpoena of a
Congressional committee to give
answers about their official deeds
or mis-deeds.
If our constitution permits
them to get away with action like
Mr.. Truman then it is time fol
us to change the constitution.

caused them to fall rapidly to the

once it is started it is almost i'm.
