APO 500 March 3, 1943 W. Earl Hall, Managing Editor The Globe-Gazette Mason City, Iowa Dear Earl, Naturally I appreciate your all too generous editorial remarks in reference to the Tucker story. I am enclosing a copy of a letter written nearly a month ago with my first and continuing reaction to it. It is of course not for quotation, but at the risk of taking myself and any such ideas too seriously, you can use the next paragraph as a statement from me when, as and if this business ever sticks up its head again - and you think the case warrants it: "Under no circumstances whatsoever will anyone ever get me tangled up in politics, at least on a personal basis. Like several million other American, I am in this show for just one reason - to help get it over with once and for all - and my one ambition for the years after that is to live peacefully and I hope peaceable in the Iowa countryside." I am writing our friend Trost the same thing. A lot of birds like running for office. Lord knows I don't, but there won't be any lack of willing and able candidates. With best regards and thanks again, Sincerely, Manford MacNider
