This writer took R.W.R. to task for his comments on the Hiss trial and Chambers and took Chambers to his bosom. He even suggested the latter de served a vote of thanks a no tion not even the most optimistic imp in hell would entertain. This man Chambers became a communist and betrayed his country; he later reversed his field and betrayed the commun ists. Such brazen depravity is rarely comparisoned in the an nals of mankind! After solemnly declaring he had become a "God fearing man," Chambers admit ted in the next breath, to seven bare-faced lies while testifying before the grand jury that In dicted his "friend"! What Chambers deserves is to have his statue cast in brass and placed in public squares through out the hind as the most accurate example of consummate hypoc racy and collosal perfidy ever to infest God's footstool! I too, kept track of the Hiss trials; also read all comments by RWR on Hiss and Chambers. In my opinion RWR did a brilliant and thoroughly unbiased job of reporting. He was right there in the Court room where he could see and hear everything that went on; he could also discuss WW Starts Monday ROOTED IN IGNORANCE, VIOLATED IN SECRECY1 SWUM "WAY SUFHSTITIOM.
