DECISION OF SUPREME COURT WINS CASE FOR '41 PICKETER

David Fleischman '41, arrested last May on a charge of distributing handbills without a license, was discharged in East Cambridge District Court yesterday because the statute which he had disobeyed was declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court.

Fleischman, along with other undergraduates from Harvard, Radcliffe, and Wellesley, was an active supporter of the taxi strike here last spring. The cabbies were holding out for a living wage of $15 and a ten hour day. After five weeks the dispute was settled in their favor.

Judge Arthur P. Stone '92 dismissed Fleischman's case, which had been postponed until now, with the statement: "this ordinance of the City of Cambridge, being void and unconstitutional on its face, is therefore unenforceable as to this defendant."
