Quite a number of years later it turned out that she was Miss Frieda Hennock, whom I had never heard of then. I finally asked some body what her name was and was told. She was appointed by Mr. Truman to the Federal Communications Commission, with a great deal of fanfare and publicity, in about 1949 or '50 - sometime in there. I then learned, by reading in the paper, who she was. She was a lawyer in New York City with a large practice. She was associated with one of the large law firms and had been a partner. She was a tax expert in the law firm and had made a great deal of money for herself. Her whole life history was given. She was either of Polish, or some other central European extraction. My memory seems to say that she was born in Poland. I was so astonished because whatever English she spoke was strictly American and strictly without the trace of those accents which sometimes, to those of us who know the foreign born populations of the City of New York, can be detected. You just know that they are Italian, for instance, even though they speak perfectly good English. There's kind of a quality, and emphasis that they use that indicates it. She didn't have any of that. She spoke strictly New Yorkese. I learned a great deal about her from the publicity at that time.
