Steve Allen — Part 1
Page 12

LA 9-2498
"Te outrageous effrontery on your part,[ _|
when you glamorize Allen and his wife as
a ‘good Amatcan family,' and nearly upbraid the
ones who picketed Allen's propaganda performance
last Saturday morning, makes one honestly wonder
about your own political tinctures. When as portion
of the public is finally snapping out of it's state
of prodigious apathy over the Communist activities
in this country, and when many of our most renowned
leadern, including President Eisenhower, have insist-
ed that this country faces a supreme menace in the
Communist conspiracy, and then you praise Allen and
all of his sinister, treacherous, pseudo-activities
and also berate anti-Red pickets, one would have to
seriously wonder about your own patriotiam (to what
country).
“Not once, repeat, NOT ONCE, in the entire
interview did you ask Allen or his wife of the
American Legion's charges that the Hollywood For
SANE is & subversive group working for the Communist
cause in this country, On multifarious occasions,
in fact, the Legion has demanded that Allen let a
congressional investigating committee, partioularly
the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, which has
also demanded the same, and has said the same verbatin
about the SANE group as subversive, investigate the
group to determine whether it is subversive enough
to be eradicated or whether the charges of subversion
are false and the group be proven innocent of it's
charges. Of course, Allen has refused,
"After a SANE rally in New York about four months
ago, John Edgar Hoover issued a statement saying
that the rally wes conceived and controlled by two
members of the Communist Party. He also said that
the Red workers were simply jocund and exultant
over the continued success of SANE and from the
support it has received from the press, radio and
TV and from the amount of exoneration it hag received
after comaitting constant treason. After wi ng
last Tuesday evening, I would say that the
pic -khe a tes stupidity that you demonstrated,
e has a mighty good reason to be happy.
