A "Christmas amnesty" for the Reds, the petition argued, would help prove U.S. confidence in democratic institutions, boost the reputation of the U.S. abroad, and "contribute toward peace in the world." Meanwhile, in her monthly Q. & A. column ("if you ask me") in McCall's magazine, Petitioner Roosevelt was Q'd as to which eligible Republican, not counting Dwight Eisenhower, she would find "most tolerable" as President of the U.S. A'd she: "Chief Justice [Earl] Warren would be the best candidate.
