...wrote McCarthy an appeasing letter which confessed the Army's bungling in the Peress case and pledged correction of the procedures which brought it about. Unappeased, McCarthy .called Brigadier (General Ralph Zwicker, commander of Camp Kilmer, N.J., where Peress had been stationed, to the stand. Zwicker, trying to protect his superiors, gave some answers that were less than candid. McCarthy, lashing out, made the outrageous suggestion that Zwicker, an officer with a line combat record, was "not fit to wear that uniform." Zwicker had been insulted, although not publicly pilloried; the hearing was closed, and the insults first came...

In the ensuing riot, four policemen and a six-year-old boy were injured. The police staunchly continue to protect the Negroes, although the huge details assigned to Trumbull Park mean that other areas of the city are going without adequate police protection. No real effort is made to punish rioters. Police make few arrests because, they say, magistrates (only two persons were charged with disorderly conduct in last week's riot) afraid of political reprisals will...

"The world is full of dangerous ideas," he wrote, "and we are both naive and stupid if we believe that the way to prepare intelligent young men to face the world is to try to protect them from such ideas while they are in college. . . . If Harvard students can be corrupted by an Eisler, Harvard College had better shut down as an educational institution...
