The hearing on the government's request that Samuel L.

The case will resume today before Federal District Court Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr. It was originally scheduled to he heard before Judge Francis J. W. Ford '04 but was transferred to Garrity yesterday morning.

Counsel for Popkin and for the government yesterday allowed excerpts of Monday's hearing dealing with Popkin's refusal to answer to be read in open court. The counsel for the government, however, required that the hearing be closed for portions outside that range.

The Crimson obtained yesterday an unofficial record of the grand jury proceedings of Monday. That transcript is printed in full beginning on page one.

Attorneys for Popkin also filed a motion yesterday to require the government to reveal any intercepted wire or oral conversations. Garrity reserved decision on that motion pending availability of the official transcript.
