A three judge panel ruled that Alger Hiss is entitled to a government pension and held that a 1954 retroactive law denying retirement benefits for perjury in national security cases could not be applied retroactively. The ruling connects to Hiss's 1948 indictment, 1950 perjury conviction, and a landmark early spy scare era linked to Richard Nixon.
