British Magistrate Frees Eisler From Extradition
Bow street magistrate Sir Laurence Dunne refused to extradite Gerhart Eisler to the United States to serve two prison sentences tied to his Communist activities. Eisler, 52, expressed relief, said he would go to Germany, and revealed a possible Leipzig professorship in the Soviet zone. The ruling centers on whether his passport falsification and refusal to testify before the HUAC constitute extraditable offenses.
