The article thereafter quoted GRAUCHO MARX on anumber of subjects and issues. - ~ &#39;

" In regard to TOM MOONEY, the imprisoned labor leader,MARX is quoted as stating, "I have always considered theimprisonment of TOM MOONEY an outrage. �There&#39;s absolutely noquestion in my mind that he&#39;s innocent....If it wasn&#39;t forpolitical reasons he would have been released years ago." . _-

In regard to the Scottsboro defendants, MARX is quotedin the article as stating, "The battle of the Communists for thelives of those boys is one that will be taught in Soviet Americaas the most inspiring and courageous battle ever fought. It willbe a red letter day on the calendar. It will be what Bunker Hillis to the modern textbooks."

Commenting on the Soviet Union, the article quotes _MARX as stating, "You know, that&#39;s a wonderful country they havethere. Everybody expected it to fail. But its been going on forsomething like 16 years now--so I guess its a success! Mybrother HARPO was there a few months ago at the request of theGovernment and he came back with great reports. You know, theyhave no unemployment there at all. I wish we could say the samehere.

"Only Hollywood could have doped this one out...The declaration called for nothing less than the immediatebreach of all economic relations with Germany. Nearlyall Hollywood clamored for the honor of signing, for themost part neither knowing nor caring that it was atbottom another Communist fund raising and propagandastunt. Unluckily, only 56 had signed the originaldocument in 1776, wherefore no more could endorse thenew one. Among the lucky ones to rate as HollywoodHancocks were...."

Hr. J.Edgar HooverFederal Bureau of InvestigationWashington, D.C.

Dear I-Ir. Hoover:I suggest that the TV entertainer Groucho Marks

be investigated as being a Commuist.

last night on his Program both my husband andI understood him to pronounce &#39; The United States" as �TheUnited Snakes."

In his book "Groucho and Me" he speaks quiteaffectionately of Charlie Chaplin, who is a well known

Communist.C

-. 7 By the way, your own book "Masters of Deceit"is a masterpiece. I have bousht a copy for myself andfour or five conies as gifts. It is simnly a wonderfulbook. Thank you for it.

Please, Mr. Hoover, investigate Groucho Marks.

Mr. J. Edgar Hoover V .� /Department of the Federal Bureau of Investigation &#39;_ 9292 Q5Washington, D.C. &#39;~"= Dear Mr. Hoover. - .;

_ -92.

As a loyal citizen of the United States, I am 2_writing to you concerning the TV program entitled " Dupont V IShow of the Week" which was broadcast last night over NBC. _#_

I am outraged by this show which appeared to be afull of Communist propaganda - so much of it that I cannotbegin to name it all. It was NOT funny. The Red stench was _&#39;umistakable. The program went out of the way to make the ¥_automobile industry in our country appear to be silly and __;the American people weak, incompetent and arrogant. &#39;

Q As one example among too many to even mention,Groucho iarx said, in,speaking of the American people, " They 92 Wd1� their ARROGA1<CE." 3~&#39;

I understand that Groucho Marx has strong Redleanings and that he was a member of the Red Front called" Committee for the First Amendment" and that he signedCablegram of allegiance to Stalin. Please write and letme know if this is correct and what other informationI am entitled as a United States citizen to know concerning

" his Red affiliations, so I can speak with authority whendiscussing him.

No doubt you have already thoroughly investigatedGroucho Marx, but please also investigate the writer orwriters of the TV script for the Dupont sponsored show.

Hoping to hear from you soon, I am

. @»I§nh§ZQ Sincerely and gratefully yours,
