Fugitive Opponent Named in Warren Nomination Tangle
Senate testimony linked Warren's principal opponent to a 1952 San Francisco perjury indictment. Roderick J. Wilson, 44, previously sought since 1952, allegedly headed a California Defense Society and gave a Reno address via Silver Star Investment Co. His letter to Burr McCloskey references a San Francisco DA. Wilson faced charges for obtaining a false affidavit and prosecutorial suppression allegations. He also headed a group allied with the American Rally, tied to Marxist principles and Holdridge's brief leadership resignation.
