Blackmer Loses Appeal Over Passport Revocation
The State Department refused to reconsider its May 12 action revoking Harry M. Blackmer's passport. Blackmer, former chairman of Mid West Refining, is sought as a witness in the Teapot Dome Oil Lease Cases. He was served subpoenas in Paris after authorities traced his Monaco Nice train travel. A new special passport would let U.S. agents meet him on arrival, while refusal to return could trigger Walsh Law contempt penalties up to $100,000 in seized property.
