Communist leader placed under peace bond in Georgia
In Atlanta the purported Georgia Communist leader Homer B. Gie was placed under a peace bond after an FBI inquiry alleging he organized a campaign against a Cartersville youth. Judge Ralph McClelland found probable cause that Wilder, 20, feared violence from Chase and associates under Gie. Chase posted bond to avoid jail as Wilder testified regarding veiled threats if he reported Communist activity to the FBI, while defense argued the threats were baseless and childish. The case proceeds with Civil Court review of warrants and potential further hearings.
