McCarran Won’t Comment Without Facts In Case
In Reno Senator Pat McCarran said he could not issue a formal statement until all circumstances are known. He noted the man has had his day in court and retains the right of appeal. McCarran questioned if federal law requires deportation for former Communist party members, and said the initial task is to seek a continuance of a $42,000 bond. Latva’s attorney Frederick Cohen said renewal of bail faced little government opposition and that Latva’s American-born wife would forfeit $2,000 if he vanished. Latva and his wife spoke to reporters as the quiet millhand and his spouse stood nearby.
