| ) “2° ~2« . 0 . i Please, Mr. Hoover, HELP!! Since the underourrent feeling throughout this land prevails that subversive elements have influenced our Supreme Court and that the "bulldozing" methods being employed by our leaders to force our acceptance of their questionable decisions only create resentment and disharmony, something constructive must be done to reatore our faith in our leaders! Don't you think that if the American people be shown that the integrity of our nine Supreme Court Justices le beyond reproach that we could more willingly accept laws on which we cannot vote? What better jway than by Television? After all, the lives of our Presidents, the men- bers of their Cabinets, our Senators and Congressmen and other public of~ ficials are open books to us. Why should the nine men whose deoisions have torn this Country asunder remain shrouded in mystery? Why should they remain aloof and be treated with more respect than our Presidents? After all, they are only human beings, not gode. We Americane are not of the atock to blindly follow our leaders, and I, for one, have ceased to be a "hero worshipper*. When world famous and respected ministere of the Gospel allude to our Supreme Gourt disparagingly, isn't it time to know these nine men better? If our Justices possess the fine characters which should be synonymous with men in such trusted positions, they should want to do their Country a great service by being thoroughly investigated by your Department and by letting all the facts and themselves be publicized on Television. : I appeal to you not because I wish to discredit anyone, but beoause we Americans who have always loved our Country and trusted our leaders are tired of having our fe elinegs diacredited, Genuine reanact has to be @ nay Siete sir] Net Mh Teel Hg a Ww nuin awupw two-way affair. Television is getting ready for another “Political Show" in the '64 elec- tions, and we will be barraged with facts and rumors about the two candi- dates chosen, but if the man who ie elected has to run this Country accord- ing to the edictea of the Supreme Court, what difference does it make wheth- er we even vote, or not? It seema to me, and I'm sure, to millions of othe er Americans concerned about the plight of our Country, that our Supreme Court should be chosen by the people instead of being appointed, but since thie change hasn't been made, please use your influence to help us know our Supreme Court Justices so that this Nation oan again know where it is being lead. Respectfully submitted, yu! —— i i, Been Appe ew IMS... Cullman, Alabama cere ee oe EE TE A ear ge
