NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Professor Dirk J. Struik of M.I.T. was accused of teaching the violent overthrow of the government of the United States from two quarters this week.

Herbert J. Philbrick, undercover agent for the F.B.I., testifying at the trials of eleven top Communists in New York, and Joseph B.
