False  Unsubstantiated Attacks on Arthur Freed   Dear Wikipedia  I am writing to request that the biography of my grandfather Arthur Freed be edited by removing the false outrageous and unsubstantated allegations made first by Shirley Temple in her autobiography and then repeated by Aljean Harmatz in her book on the making of Wizard of Oz about my grnadfather conducting a lewd act in the presence of Shirley Temple at the time of his casting Qizard of Oz  These allegations were made only first  years after they allegedly happened when Shirley Tempole wrote her autobiography and vented her anger over my grandfather giving the relatively unknown Judy Garland the part of Dorothy over very well known Shirley Temple  There has never been a shred of evidence incdluing third party statements to substantiate these untrue and hurtful to our family outrageous charges  Further I see some idot has written on wikipedia about some previous editing of these false statements referring to my grandfather as a child abuser  Wikipedia  as one of the Internets most respected sources of information  should respect the foundation of American jurisprudence  innocent until proven guilty  and remove this ridiculous and painful statement  If you wish to discuss this further with me please contact me directly  I would appreciate both the courtesy of a reply and to see that Wikipedia will correct this terrible injustice to my grandfather and our family by remocing totally unsubstantited false allegations  Stephen A Saltzman President Arthur Freed Productions Inc  Santa Monica Blvd Los Angeles CA   sasmmaolcom
