Judge Dismisses New Indictment Against Lattimore
U S District Judge Luther Youngdahl dismissed a new perjury indictment against Owen Lattimore claiming he lied about not being a follower of the Communist line or promoter of Red interests. The judge ruled the charge too vague to define an offense or permit proper defense. The case stems from 1952 Senate Internal Security testimony about the Institute of Pacific Relations and its publication Pacific Affairs.
