Spongier Finds an Issue

Republican National Chairman Harrison E. Spangler, undeterred by numerous political prattfalls, charged fresh into the fray last week. He read in the newspapers that Marine Pfc. Edward Meyerson of Montclair, NJ. had written home from the South Pacific to ask his mother for some old Willkie campaign buttons--but that his letter had been censored when he explained why he wanted them. Wrote Chairman Spangler to Secretary of the Navy Knox:

"As you are aware, the OWI has distributed throughout the world lapel badges bearing the picture of President Roosevelt. ... It may be that Private Meyerson resented this propaganda at the battlefront and sought to counteract it. ... I suggest, therefore, in order to keep the Navy free of any charge of aiding New Deal propaganda within our Armed Forces that you make public the censored portion of Private Meyerson's letter, and, if necessary, inquire from him what he sought to tell his mother."

Harrison Spangler had found an issue.
