This is a photograph of a political cartoon by Herc Ficklen, originally published in the Dallas News in 1953. It depicts a jack-o-lantern, labeled "Chambers Documents," in a field, with a trail of a ghost coming out of it. The ghost is behind former President Harry S. Truman, tapping him on the shoulder. The original drawing of this cartoon is in the Truman Library museum collection.
