Helen Gahagan Douglas writes a letter to the editor of the Los Angeles Times to refute claims made by a witness in a libel case involving Assemblyman Vernon Kilpatrick. The witness stated that discussions about overthrowing the government and causing an economic collapse took place at Douglas' home, which Douglas denies. She emphasizes her long-standing opposition to Communism and authoritarianism and asks the newspaper to publish her response to set the record straight.
