    Libel Cases - Coates, Paul

    Manuscripts

    6 items. Material in file deals with demand by an attorney for Wesley A. Swift of Lancaster, that LAT retract statements made about Swift by columnist Paul Coates (5/13/1962). The Times investigated Swift further and obtained a Sheriff's Dept. memo linking "Rev. Smith" to "anti-Jew, anti-Commie, anti-Negro propaganda," and past involvement with the KKK. The last dated item in the file is a memo from 6/4/1962. It is to Frank McCulloch from Richard G. Adams (presumably of LAT Legal Dept.) and states that "since Swift is a hatemonger, The Times will not retract. The demand is to be ignored."
