![["The document is addressed to Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas, expressing concern about a recent incident where armed men disrupted a Democratic Party meeting in La Crescenta. The writer believes this vigilante action is connected to the Thomas-Mankin Committee's investigation in Hollywood and calls for the committee to be abolished. The writer urges Representative Douglas to speak out against the contempt citations issued to Hollywood witnesses and to protect free speech and peaceable assembly rights. The incident in La Crescenta is seen as a potential first step in a larger attack on basic rights and liberties."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_3.2_74_15_0000-Un-American%20Activities%20Committee,%20194/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_3.2_74_15_0017_thumbnail.jpg "Urgent Appeal to Protect Constitutional Guarantees: A Letter to Helen Gahagan Douglas")
