Mr. Willard M. Queen
425 Plenty Street
Long Beach, California
Dear Mr. Queen:
Thank you very much for your letter of February 3 in
which you enclosed clippings of "My Story" by Jack
Ruby, and the letter to the editor by Miss Gladys
Wells.
I don't know how we can stop these stories which
picture Dallas as a wild and uncivilised city. I
think anyone who reads the February 3 issue of U. S.
News & World Report will most certainly be convinced
that ours is a respectable, civilized city in which
our citizens take a great deal of pride. Dallas is
as safe a place to live in as any other city of com*
parable size...and probably somewhat safer than most.
I wholeheartedly agree with Miss Wells in her remarks
about "playing up" this infamous person (Ruby). I
can't agree that by publishing this "story" the news
media is going to resolve the question of "why did he
do it, and how1)
Sincerely yours,
J. E. Curry
Chief of Police
