Hazelwood's request.’ that the FBI investigate his connection with this affair and go fully into the material he has submitted in refutation of the accusation that he is a communist or is active in supporting a communist ideology. \e believe Mr. Hazelwood to be a valuable and active citizen of Peoria whose record in civie affairs is above reproach and we are especially interested in the misguided (or deliberate) attempt to use Mr, Razelwood's connection with the NAACP to imply in some manner that this Association is engaged in spreading communistic ideology. fies If it is possible for you to do so under A 5 ‘Loon La3Of— -§S 9 , quXEGNI 3 >| fag 15 SEP Tiare >
