Wn eae... n/ “February 14,1961 Justice Hugo Black Supreme Court Buidling Washington, D, C, Dear Sir: * T am an American cltizen ty birth, with a deep love of my country and country~ men, I believe in GOD, IT salute the American flag with pride, I am not ashamed if tears come to my eyes when I hear the "Star Spangled Banner", I would never be afraid to eign a loyalty oath, I would never hide behiné the ist or 5th Amendments if I were asked if I were a communist, I hope these qualifications are enough to warrent an anewer to this letter. I am going on the assumption that our Constitution was written to protect the loyal American citizen, and not the Communist party or its affiliates. I have written to the Hon. Spessard Holland of Florida to ask him to propose a bill that would make being a Commnist an act of treason, punishable by death, for we all know it is not a political party, tut a direct plot to destroy the United States Government by deceit or violence if necessary, It seems thet there are already laws to thie effect, but not good enough to stick, The Eon, Francie Walter of the House Un-American Activities Committee, J, Edgar Hoover, and our Congressmen and Senators do not seem to have the know-how on tha waedine af thase Heannast a eco as to have tha Supreme Court eon et known wae WOTding Sl Uness Proposalrs, SO Ss wie VU o meres commnists, The answer to this is so simple that I think we heve all over. looked it. The Supreme Court justices shovld get their heads together and tell our legislatore the wording they must use in these laws if our high court ie expected to hand down a verdict of guilty to the members of the Communist Conspiracy, Thie method would remove all guesswork and wonder from cur legis~ lators, and enable them to know the exact wording required for a conviction, I am sure all loyal Americans, our congressmen, and our high courte are am ziocus to see laws passed that would not give aid and comfort to our sortal . enemy, the communists. I would be honored to write my representative on y NY proposale as you render then, D) y Some of the recent decisions handed down by the Supreme Court, state tHat it /\ is alright to plot and advocate the violent overthrow of the United States \ Government, as long as no action is taken, If thie is what the Constitution means, couldn't a well-financed organization start a University of Murder, and recruit students on the basis that they would teach them the beet method: on how to commit murder, as well as other violent crimes, and be within their constitutional righte juet so long as they did not try to get thelr students a job? This even might work into Federal Aid and tax exemption. It seems. to ' as me that this could be done, If it can I hope it never leaks out, for I fear there are many people in this country who wuld take advantage of this also. 1) -” - Almost every day, I read in the paper of WM eeeretX%, in ‘EA meee, ts iy our citizens to snap out of our apathy towards communism before it ie to wate. Then, lo and behold I read a little further, and see where our Suprana Conrt— just relmeed some more Commniste on their so-called Constitutional rights ..
