Mar. 4-48
Dear Senator Stennis:
Please read attached clippings from Chicago papers. We here in Chicago
sympathize with the South and hope you will not back down on your fight with Truman.
Your whole future is at stake. The blacks here are terrible and vigilante committees were
patrolling the streets in some sections to protect white girls from rapes, etc.
Many other bills are aimed at the South also. The education bill that allows
money for religious schools should be defeated. It will rise to haunt the South. Also
compulsory medicine.
Please note the article where Catholics have been ordered to vote certain ways.
Are they in politics? They could be ordered to vote against Southern democrats. They
they would like us to finance their tuition schools, when they don't believe in our public
schools.
Look at Myron Taylor at the Vatican. This is the first step. Talk about this with
Senator Easland.
Yours Truly,
XXXXXXXXXXX
