Born in 1891 into a prominent Maryland family, Bealle was a corporal in the U.S. Army with the 869th Aero Squadron during World War I. He then became a city editor of the old Washington Times and Herald. In the 1930s he was running a county seat newspaper, when a disagreement with a major advertising account led him to abandon the newspaper business and investigate the freedom-of-the-press situation. Unable to find a publisher willing to print his revelations, he finally published his findings from his own very own publishing company in the form of exposé books that were subsequently banned from most bookstores: Medical Mussolini (1938), The Drug Story (1949), and The House of the Rockefeller (1959). He also wrote on the Kennedy assassination plot, as well as a definitive history of the Washington Senators baseball club.
Bealle passed away in 1972 and was laid to rest in Culpeper County, Virginia.view less
