- Description:
- Kenneth Johnson writes to Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas expressing his opposition to the Un-American Activities Committee, calling it a disgrace and warning of potential Thought Control. He believes the committee is akin to an inquisition and fears it could lead to book burning and the replacement of the American Flag with a Swastika. Johnson expresses his support for Douglas and notes that many of his acquaintances feel the same way. He also mentions disappointment in the Greek marksmanship during a recent event. Douglas responds, thanking Johnson for his letter and stating that she is already aware of his stance on the matter.
