cc Mr. Ladd Mr. Floyd Le Jones . ‘August 18, 1947 ee cacr eras ery Mawicine Vaughan ALL ANPORSATON CONTAINED Dear General Vaughan; GATE Se /eo CRL3BOR © I thought the President and you would be interested in the following information which was obtained from a source regarded as-.com- pletely reliable. On June 11, 1947, Henry A. Wallace spoke at the Norwalk High School, Norwalk, Connecticut, under the auspices of the Progressive Citizens of America, Norwalk Chapter. Prior to his address a reception was held in his honor at the Westover Inn, Westport, Connecticut. While at the reception, Kr. Wallace stated that he prefers to run on a liberal Democratic ticket and he has hopes that such a ticket will materialise. He said that if the Democratic Party fails to develop a liberal ticket, he- would head a third party of independent voters. Wallace also made the following statement: “Let'a not worry about Communism, let's make democracy work; and you oan do that by practising Christianity. The life - of Christ is strangely parallel to the doctrines of Communism. Something _ new has been added to the old Yankee strain, and, while it has improved the old Yankee strain, we must never forget the worth of the old Yankee strain. It is what made America out of a wilderness of savages." With expressions of my highest esteem and best regards, Sincerely yours, .d@- Hagar Hoover - 5. 9 ay EX’¢4 Fa ie: Yodel alto WURDED 62-71788 — b Ata 4! f is. ciaviz——— | COMMUNICATIONS SECTION | . a oe, AT YAR ur.
