A short time ago you released a letter concerning Morality, integrity re ee order, crime and other disrespects of our great heritage which leaves us teetering on the very ledge of survival, I read your letter with reathless interest and I am taking this oppertunity ta personally thank and laud you for for your boldness in bringing to the people of erica the facts that underlie the social problems with which we are onfronted and with which you are very familiar behind your many years of experience. it is my earnest hope that more persons in upper positions would dare to openly express themselves with regard to the despicable crime in which America finds itsself. You have done a great service for our country in running down criminals but many of them thru legal tricks are soon free again. - I think, Mr. Hoover, the Supreme Court has proven to be the best friend the criminal has and he is omnivorously feeding on the loose decisions the other courts are forced to make in view of certain rulings the higher make, many of which have a major question mark b-hind them as far as the publis is concerned. officers of the law particularly \hen he is doing his duty, while the criminal many times goes free. The criminal should be sent to jail where he belongs and the officers should be commended and told to go and round up more of the desperate kind. Your letter was read in the Upper Marlboro, Md., Gazette, Please at your convenience write more letters of the kind, Thanking you again, I am, [p: Vary truly yours, Rec 71 =: ae MAY Xf 1967 C q - Te 2 } + .
