Communist fugitive Gerhart Eisler threatened to sue the United States for damages over the $23,000 bail forfeited after fleeing to escape a potential prison term. He spoke from the Hotel Ambassador in Prague, calling U.S. officials, including Attorney General Tom Clark and J. Edgar Hoover, targets of criticism while outlining reasons for his departure.
