Passport ban ends Kent Prague peace trip plan
Adirondack artist Rockwell Kent says the State Department refused to validate his passport to attend a Communist backed peace meeting in Prague citing prior travel in non validated countries. Kent planned to sail from New York to London and fly to Prague on August 9. He alleged the action stems from his Moscow trip last year and his support for Henry A. Wallace on the Progressive ticket in 1948. Kent noted fellow travelers included O John Rogge Albert Kahn and Johannes Steel. He has lived in the area about 20 years.
