LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Jan. 23, 1953. Dear Editor: A short time ago the Asheville Citizen printed an article of Carl Sandburg’s opinions regarding Nathan Leopold, the cold-blooded killer of little Bobby Franks some years back. According to the ar ticle, Sandburg thinks Leopold should receive an unquestionable pardon. The article also stated that Sandburg thinks Leopold is a fine man and would love to have him as a friend and neighbor. The general public should give a lot of thought to those opinions and also to the opinions of anyone else who thinks Nathan Lepold should be released from prison. Just consider it for awhile. Na than Leopold and his cohart Leob committed one of the most brutal crimes in the history of our na tion. And why did they do this horrible thing? Simply for the thrill of commiting murder. Now doesn’t that sound noble and bril liant? Is that the kind of person that should be set free to mingle with decent, law-abiding citizens ? I think not. Also, I think Leo pold should never have been sent to prison in the first place. I think his life should have been taken from him then and there, the same as he took Bobby Franks life. Little Bobby’s life was snuffed out before he ever had a chance to start. Why should a person (I "don’t feel free to call him a man) like that be released from prison ? You people who have children, try to put yourselves in the shoes of Bobby’s parents, how do you think you’d feel. If you have the slightest affection for your chil dren, I know how you’d feel. If Carl Sandburg wants Nathan Leopold for a friend and neigh bor so much, they should both be put in the same cell together, then they could be neighbors to each other. I don’t know Carl Sandburg, but if his opinions regarding Nathan Leopold are an example of his ideas of justice, I have no desire to know him. I am just a plain, ordinary citi zen, but these are my opinions. W. M. Hummer, Black Mtn., N. C. Dear Editor: Confronted with the growing blood needs of the country, the President recently recognized blood as a national resource by placing responsibility for the coordination of all blood activities in the Office of Defense Mobilization. The total blood needs of the na tion are great: blood is needed for current use by the Armed Forces; it is needed to fill the immediate requirements of civilians; and above and beyond these daily needs, there must be blood for a national plasma reserve ready for use in any emergency, civilian or military, which might arise. To fill all of these important and con tinuing needs, the National Blood program needs your support in persuading the American people to become regular blood donors. For your information we have enclosed a fact sheet on the Na tional Blood program together with a poster which we would appreciate your displaying in a prominent place. In this way you can help us collect the blood we need. Additional posters and materials may be obtained by contacting your local Red Cross Chapter. Sincerely, Paul Gaynor, Coordinator National Blood Program January 6, 1953. Editor, The Black Mountain News, Black Mountain, N. C Dear Editor: A happy new year to you and all of your staff.
