New Lattimore Perjury Charge Focuses on New Indictment
The government said it will seek a new perjury indictment next month against Far Eastern expert Owen Lattimore. U.S. District Attorney Leo A. Rover said a grand jury will hear new matter alleging promotion of Communist interests not in the current indictment, which still lists five counts after two earlier ones were dropped. The appeals court previously dismissed the key charge and another count, leaving five counts alleging Lattimore lied to the Senate Internal Security Committee about pre-1950 knowledge of Communists, meetings with Soviet officials, handling of Communist-linked correspondence, and publishing articles by known Communists.
