Westbrook Pegler Attacks Un American Activities and DOJ
Westbrook Pegler accuses the House Committee on Un American Activities of privately agreeing with the Justice Department to avoid publicizing material that could embarrass the department. He says the move serves the president, shields past failures, and comments on Eleanor Roosevelt's influence and the Eisler and Browder cases. He cites Whittaker Chambers’ sworn statements to Mundt and Nixon and notes the department’s desire to suppress partisan material.
