Letter writers thought Murrow was a Pinko


I made it into the Salt Lake Tribune today. Columnist Paul Rolly leads with letters I found recently at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston from individuals complaining to President Kennedy that he had appointed a "pinko" and "commie" by putting Edward R. Murrow at the head of the USIA. One of those letters was from the principal and faculty of the Springville Junior High in Springville, Utah.

The column runs as the movie "Good Night and Good Luck" finally opens in Utah (see earlier post).

Grant and Amanda talked briefly about the item during the 7 o'clock hour of the KSL Morning News.
