Free Hvasta Committee Formed to Seek Release
Veterans and civic groups establish the Free Hvasta Committee to Vasta led by Mrs. Michael Hvasta of 1465 Franklin Street to raise funds for attorneys and press for Hvasta’s release from a Czechoslovakian prison since 1948. Mayor Raymond R. King announced the effort, linking it to a September congressional resolution calling the 1944 arrest unjust and urging an end to relations with Czechoslovakia until Hvasta is freed.
