Full-Blooded Americans (Cont'd)
Sirs:
Really cannot savvy how those three so-called Americans who gave lip service to their 100% credo, in TIME, June 13, can get so irrational, illogical and ill-at-ease about your publishing Earl Browder's picture on your front cover [TIME, May 30].
Maybe they never heard of "free press"— maybe they think "suppress" is the American way. Will thank Hancock and Browder's ancestors for our Bill of Rights, say I. No I'm not a descendant of a coupla Mayflower Pilgrims but my people were waiting for 'em at Plymouth Rock, when they landed.
Yes I'm part Indian, and while I might not agree with Browder or what he has to say I'll fight for his right to say it. And furthermore if TIME decides its covers on sex appeal alone—I'd pick Browder over Onion-head Hoover or Fudge-face Landon.
Yours for a better America. MARTHA VAN TASSELL

Re letter in TIME, June 13, subject Browder, signed by one Burton H. Pugh; I respectfully suggest Mr. Pugh as candidate for nomination as warden of Jersey City concentration camp.

Sirs:
I am sorry I did not write sooner to thank you for your fine picture of Comrade Earl Browder on the cover of TIME, May 30.
Mr. Burton H. Pugh, Mr. G. W. Thain, Mr. J. Wm. Cummins seem to be having a fit of indigestion over the publication of the picture on the front cover. May I suggest a dose of Carter's Little Liver Pills? Aren't some of the things that Americans hold dear the rights of free speech, free press, and so on? ...

R. C. Barnett ("The value of a man's service to society is measured by the number of jobs he has provided for his fellow men") must have been thinking of Frank Hague. How we all have been maligning Jersey's "Public Benefactor No. 1!"

Sirs:
Congratulations to a magazine that has the courage to frontpage Earl Browder and by so doing may expect to receive the ridicule and abuse of such 100% (?) Americans as threw rotten eggs at an elected and honored U. S. Congressman.
I am of the third native-born generation of an old Scotch line, but after the Jersey City incident I am soft pedaling my Americanism. H. F. McGINLEY
