Counsel Takes Struik Case to Court Today

Attorneys for Dirk Jan Struik, suspended M.I.T. professor of Mathematics, and Harry E. Winner, a Malden advertising executive, will today attempt to quash the indictments against the two men for advocating the "violent overthrow of the Commonwealth." The session--a purely technical one--will start at 10 a.m. in Middlesex County Superior Court, Criminal Session.

Lawrence D. Shubow '43 will plead for Struik, and Howard S. Whiteside '34 for Winner although the other two attorneys. Oliver S. Allen and Hubert C. Thompson, will be present. Neither defendant will attend. District Attorney George Thompson will represent the state, and Judge Donahue will preside.

Struik and Winner were indicted last September and the trial was originally scheduled for December. Should today's motion succeed, the District Attorney could still go before a grand jury and get new indictments.
