The following letter was written to Hedda Hopper four months before CC left
for London in 1952:
Dear Hedda:
I agree with you that the way the Chaplin case has been handled has been a
disgrace for years. Unfortunately, we aren't able to do much about it when the
top decisions are made by the likes of Acheson and McGranery. You can be sure,
however, that I will keep my eye on the case and possibly after January we will
be able to work with an Administration which will apply the same rules to
Chaplin as they do to ordinary citizens.
Cordially,
Dick Nixon
Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare

I hope everyone realizes that Nixon, like Hopper, felt Chaplin wasn't
being treated harshly enough. That isn't clear from the text alone.
