'Don't Throw Me In The Briar PatdMCPYRG
Editor, The Times:
, ' I see by this morning's Time
front page story that a Unite
States Federal Court in Ne
York has s' on fit to release tw
1r accused spies' on the pretens
that these good people must b
given the protection of the goo
old United States Constitution
Does this not remind us of Be
Rabbit when he says, "Han
!"me! Hang me high as yot
please, but please don't thro%
me into the briar patch."
I always thought Ber Rabbi
was the hero. Not so it must b
Ber Box and Ber Bear, be
cause we Americans are al
t ways the heroes or we one
. were. Things were bad enough
.when we swapped spies, now w
just release and deport them.
We never did know the truth
about Gary Francis Powers,
whether his plans was shot
down or whether it was sabo-
taged.- Then its' pilot couldn't
say that we were in a. struggle
for freedom and' that he was
CPYRGHT
roud to work for his country'
n that struggle for freedom.
Was that a chosen plane to, be
ahntaged?
Now we are told that a public
rial would endanger national
ecurity, for Americans to know
s more dangerous than for'
