Drawing on a Letter to William Proxmire
Image
A pencil drawing of a man holding his hands over his ears, standing next to his bed as though he's just leapt out of it. His expression is similar to that of Edvard Munch's painting "The Scream." The drawing is on a letter from C. Fricker to Senator Proxmire regarding the Air Force's loud testing of jet bombers.
March 6, 1962
Fricker, C. (New Berlin, Wis.)
