Dear Sirs:
I expect that in a few moments this scrall will be relegated to the
waste basket. We (I speak for the majority of my friends) feel that
Justice is not done with reference to the cases of Jack Benny &
Geo. Burns.
The Judges and Sponsors of these people must think, we gullible public will ~-
stand for anything. To be sure we have let a great many similer cases
go by in the past. I suppose primerily because we thought we could do
nothing about it, even now we do not know just how to proceed, but we
intend to try.
They the culprits would no doubt like us to forget it but myself and
friends think it is about time the general public begen to take things
into their own hands.
We have a general manager in the person of J. Edger Hoover who is
trying diligently to cut crime in this country, but whose hands and
efforts are tied, unless the people do their part. I and about 25 or 30 of
my friends can see very little difference between the acts of Benny and
Burns end those of Fatty Arbuckle except in the latter case his act
reacted against himself and the motion picture interests for which he
paid the penalty, while Burns and Benny committed a crime against the
Government and as we the people are the government, we are going to
do something about it.
We thought about chain letters throughout the country, kindly advise. In
the meantime our radios are turned egainst any program upon which they
appear. You are at liberty to publish this letter, but I have very little
hopes of it.
Very truly yours,
[sf hic
P.5. We do not consider-them a g our children.
