Court rules on Wallace speaking at Watergate amphitheater
Federal Judge James Proctor refused to bar Henry A. Wallace from addressing a crowd at the Watergate amphitheater. The ruling followed a petition by the American Anti Communist Association led by Rep. O Konski seeking to stop Wallace's appearance. The Interior Department issued a permit, and officials stressed free speech while noting government facilities should not be used to aid groups advocating overthrow. Wallace discussed potential U S and British action against the Soviets over Turkey and oil fields, later clarifying his wording.
