A letter to the editor of the Eugene Register-Guard dated June 3, 1954, in which Grover Slayter laments the demonization of Joseph McCarthy and encourages deportation for all communists and sympathizers
#HUAC #RedScare #MartinDiesJr #JosephMcCarthy #ClarkCountyWashington #GroverSlayter
'NOTHER TEDDY CALLED Eugene (To the Editor):-I have read with great interest the letter in vour paper of May 21st, under the Editors Mail Bag,' and which you have headed, "A QUEST FOR LOGIC." I am sure the writer has hit the nail on the head and expressed what is in the minds of a large majority of our citizens. In a small way I happen to know something of this Communist set-up for at one time I had charge of what was "called' the Self Help Program, in the County of Clark, Washington State. This was at that time when the Dies Committee was active and before the Communists, pinks, and hanger-ons had smeared Dies and run him out and off the committee. (Of course anvone with a grain of sense knows now that Dies was right) My job was supposed to be that of organizing work groups for the unemployed in Clark County but I was soon told by a big party man for that County, "Grover, you are too busy, set down on a log and whittle awhile." After about so much trouble with what I thought was just agitators I got a tip to see Captain O'Dale, head of the Red Squad for the northwest and he soon told me where the trouble was. He said we have now recognized godless Russia and the Communists are flocking here as fast as they can and THATS YOUR TROUBLE. What did I do about my part in this? I notified my Congressman and Harry Hopkins, and then the next thing I knew I HAD NO JOB. I found out two weeks after they had stopped my pay that I had been fired by orders from Washington.
