  28 April 1960

  Mr. Fred Okrand

  257 South Spring Street

  Los Angeles, California

  Dear Fred:

  I enclose the article from today's Arcadia Tribune.

  I would be grateful to you if you would write a letter to the editor or publisher, demanding a retraction. It seems to me that the statement "Here is a man acting in a manner traitorous to the U. S. government, and we won't stop him" is libelous. I think that his appellation of me as "a stupid ass" is not libelous, but just an expression of opinion.

  Mr. William Sumner of the Pasadena Star News asked if I would like to comment on Cvetic's statement. I gave him a comment, as follows: "Cvetic is a liar. He has forgotten how to tell the truth. I am ashamed to have to acknowledge him as a fellow American or even as a fellow human being." Mr. Sumner said that he probably would not use this statement, nor even make mention in the Pasadena Star News of the Cvetic matter.

  I trust that you will write a strong letter to the Arcadia Tribune, asking for a retraction, if you consider that what they have written is libelous.

  I apologize for calling you Jack, when I was talking with you on the telephone. I had just been conversing with a friend of mine named Jack, and he was still on my mind.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling: jh enclosure
