Lattimore Perjury Indictment Dismissed by Judge
U S District Judge Luther Youngdahl dismissed a new perjury indictment against Owen Lattimore for denying he followed the Communist line or promoted Red interests. He ruled the charge was too vague and could not be understood by a jury, risking a sham of the Sixth Amendment. The case stemmed from testimony before the Senate Internal Security subcommittee in 1952 on Pacific Affairs and the Institute of Pacific Relations.
