She said many of these letters were very abusive and accused ALLEN of being a Communist. Some of these letters were signed, while others were not. On 1Q/ll/50, ALLEN received a one-page typewritten letter postmarked lq/l0/60, at Los Angeles. This letter com- mences: "My name is HARRY GOREN. I live at 1802 Redondo Boulevard, Los Angeles."
