Mounting Protests Over Finns Due To Descend On Washingtoni
A mounting storm of protest over the treatment of the flying Finn twins descends on Washington as the brothers enter the 26th day of a hunger strike. Rep James Roosevelt of Los Angeles and Finns friends pressed President Eisenhower for clemency. The Finns, held in a federal prison near Springfield, say they were jailed for a citizen’s arrest of a Los Angeles U.S. attorney over a war surplus airplane. They act as their own attorneys and claim illegal imprisonment since they cannot appeal. Roosevelt’s telegram echoed support from Sen Thomas Kuchel and Sen John Bricker urging clemency.
