Eleanor Roosevelt

From The Communist Trail in America by Jacob Spolansky, 1951

Nancy Reed's wish to be "a leader in the struggle of class against class" was never realized. Instead, she contented herself with sporadic attacks against America, sarcastically comparing conditions there with those in Russia. Condemning Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt for a magazine article she vehemently espoused the Marxist slant in a letter signed "Ima Worker."

From None Dare Call It Treason by John A. Stormer, 1964

. . . when Hiss and Lauchlin Currie, executive assistant to President Roosevelt, were exposed, Mrs. Roosevelt�s outburst was typical. In her syndicated column, My Day, for August 16, 1948, she said:

Smearing good people like Alger Hiss and Lauchlin Currie, is, I think, unforgiveable.

Currie later fled the country rather than answer question about his activities. Hiss served five years in the Federal Penitentiary for perjury after denying his participation in a Soviet spy ring.
