![["Mrs. Ford agrees with Helen's proposed letter to the Times, but advises her not to answer at this time as it could lead to trouble and false accusations of being a Communist. She warns Helen to be cautious of traps set by powerful individuals like Representative Jackson, and suggests waiting until the political climate changes before taking any action. Mrs. Ford also offers her California address for Helen to use if needed."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_6_184_6_0000-Smear-Communist,%20Los%20Angeles%20Times,%201953/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_6_184_6_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Response to Newspaper Scandal, May 6, 1953")
