Continuing his campaign against Jewish personalities and organizations Westbrook Pegler has advanced the suggestion that President Truman should ask for the resignation of Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter and dismiss white House secretary David K. Niles.
Pegler claims that Justice Frankfurter “has been a pushful, bumptious political” and that he “sponsored Alger Hiss and Lee Pressman.” He also asserts that Mr. Niles “is a Frankfurter man from the old political circles which included Harold Laski, the English Communist.”
