Author James Michener (Tales of the South Pacific, Sayonara) wrote in a letter to the New York Times: "It is precisely as if Richard Nixon and Adlai Stevenson were to be charged with subversion. Mr. Ladejinsky is known throughout Asia as Communism's most implacable foe and about the only American who has accomplished much in actually stopping the drift of all Asian farmers to Communism.

Rusty, perhaps, but always game, Attorney Stevenson filed a petition seeking a delay of the trial with the U.S. Supreme Court, whose Associate Justice Sherman Minton at week's end turned Stevenson's brief down cold, also denied Stevenson's request for a hearing...
