Eaton thanks BR for his letter of 19 May.

"Since I wrote you on May 7th about the Fulton Lewis broadcast, the tide of American opinion has begun to run strongly against the reactionary forces that seek to throttle freedom of speech by distorted smear and innuendo." Eaton encloses a number of editorials to provide BR "... a good cross section of the public indignation being expressed in every part of the United States and Canada."

The clippings he encloses are, "Is Cyrus Eaton 'Un-American?'", New York Herald Tribune, 21 May; "Cyrus Eaton, J. Edgar Hoover—and the Bill of Rights", New York Post, 20 May; "Tyranny by Subpoena", The Washington Post, 22 May; "This Is Freedom of Speech?", New York World-Telegram and the Sun, 22 May; "Big Brother Complex?", The Montreal Star, 7 May; "Eaton raises serious question", The Milwaukee Journal, 8 May; "A Wild Pitch from the FBI", The Berkshire Eagle, 8 May; and an editorial cartoon portraying Eaton, titled, "'Ha! An Un-American Tendency toward Free Speech!'", The Washington Post, 21 May.
