Coast candidate files libel suit
Hollywood, California (UP) –
Radio producer Harold “Hal” Styles, Democratic Congressional candidate in California’s 15th district, today filed a million-dollar libel suit against the Los Angeles Examiner, charging the newspaper “maliciously” linked him with the Ku Klux Klan.
The suit, filed in Superior Court, was based upon an article and a cartoon appearing in the Oct. 26 edition.
Mr. Styles said he had demanded and been refused a retraction.
