Furry, Kamin File Dismissal Requests

Briefs supporting motions to dismiss contempt of Congress indictments against Wendell H. Furry, associate professor of Physics, and Leon J. Kamin '49, research assistant in Psychology at McGill, were filed in Federal District Court yesterday afternoon.

Gerald A. Berlin, Furry's lawyer, and Galvin P. Bartlett, counsel for Kamin, presented separate briefs.

Although the exact text of their arguments will not be made public until they have reached Judge Bailey Aldrich '28 on Monday, the briefs will probably claim that the government went outside its legal sphere of inquiry when Senator Joseph R. McCarthy's Government Operations Committee questioned the defendants in December.
