.YoungdaIlI Kills
New Indictment
OF Laffimore
Red Promoter
Perjury Count Is
Ruled Too Vague
BY Howard [. Dutkin

Federal District Judge Luther
Youngdahl today dismissed q new
indictment accusing Owen Lat
timore Of swearing falsely when
he denied he ever had been 9
follower Of the Communist line
or a promoter of Red interests.
In doing so Judge Youngdahl
said:
TO require defendant U.atti-
more) to go on trial for perjury
under charges so formless and
obscure as those before the court
would make q sham Of the Sixth
Amendment and the Federal rule
requiring specificity Of charges. "
The Judge apparently referred
to the portion Of the Sixth
Amendment to the Constitution
which requires that q defendant
be informed Of the nature and
cause Of the accusation. The de-
tense in the baltimore case has
contended that the accusation
was too vague to define an Of
Tense and permit preparation Of
q defense,
One Indictment Remains.
Mr.. baltimore is still confront
ed with another indictment. This
one contains five minor counts
OF perjury before the same sub.
committee--the Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee.
Trial on both indictments was
scheduled for February IA. But
there is speculation whether the
Government will proceed with
the minor counts considering
Judge Youngdahl's action dis
missing what was conceded to
be the heart of the prosecutions
charges,
Last year. Judge Youngdahl
threw out four counts of an
original seven-count perjury In.
dictment against Mr.. baltimore.
The one important count, at the
time. charged Mr.. baltimore with
lying when be told the Senate
subcommittee that he was never
q synpathizer or any other kind
Of promoter Of communism.
Judge Youngdahl's reasons for
dismissing that count and three
others paralleled his reasoning
IN today's action. It was essen-
tally that the counts were too
nebulous to allow for the weay-
ing Of q defense.
2 Counts Reinstated.
The Appellate Court subse.
quently upheld Judge Young
dahl's dismissal Of the Commu.
mist sympathizer count and one
other. It reinstated two lesser
counts and these are now part
Of the flye-count indictment still
lodged against Mr.. baltimore.
