POST e. 35,948 Front Pogo Edit Other Page Page i Date: SEP 4 The Angry Retort c/ f To the Editor, 'Evening Post:1 r. In reply to Mrs. Russell Fitz- ; water's letter (Forum, Aug. 31),; ,I can fully agree that reading ! "None Dare ,Call It Treason" ' ?, r? could make any American cit-- : izen angry. The allegations are. ? I most certainly of a nature to: ? .support the, author's contention ? .of widespread disloyalty among . government officials. If the charges are provable, P. then they should be formally presented to a federal grand f jury. But, if the allegations are; f figaments of the author's hallu- cinations, then they should not; I. be taken seriously. One thing further: The party 'Yin power when Castro's fordes t) advanced on Havana was not:, ? the Democratic party. Republi- cans occupied the office of Pres- ident, with all attendant author-'. ity afforded that office includ- ing complete control of the State Department, the ...CIA., and all, the military services ?of the' ? United States. With the author? ity of the executive branch of 1 ? the United States government,.: Batista was ordered not to op- pose the "popular revolution' r of. the Cuban people and to al-, low Castro to take over the Cuban nation. !: The practice of ridiculing ex- I: 'sting. democratic governments'l ',?? throughout the world seems to. be be the prelude to Communist ., takeovers,. It has happened in Cuba, Cina, Czechoslovakia,. Hungary, Estonia, Latvia,' Po- , land, and numerous smaller countries. i Is the angry retort to irre- sponsible writing going to en-i, ? i-slave America? MRS: CHARLES K. HERNS'' , t 'Mt.
