BRITISH PAPER BLASTS U. S. IN LATTIMORE CASE
LONDON--(LDNS)--The conservative LONDON TIMES has taken an editorial shot at the United States Justice Department for its handling of the case of Owen Lattimore.
Lattimore is a former State Department consultant and Far Eastern expert. He has been indicted on charges that he lied in testimony before the Senate Internal Security Committee in 1952.
The TIMES declared:
"It is the duty of the Justice Department to prosecute the criminal. But the facts of the Lattimore case arouse an uneasy feeling of persecution rather than prosecution.
"It is indeed a tragic irony that while Alger Hiss, whom in 1950 the courts found guilty will be free next month, Owen Lattimore, whom the courts found innocent, is still a hounded man."
