Rutgers University yesterday suspended associate Law School professor Abraham Glasser for refusing to answer some of the House Un-American Activities Committee's questions on his Communist connections.
Glasser's counsel during the hearings was Leonard B. Boudin, whose letter defending those who refuse to testify before the House Committee was published in yesterday's CRIMSON.
Glasser swore he was not a Communist, if by "Communist" his questioners meant "an official, card-carrying member of the Communist party." Nevertheless, he refused to answer any questions relating to his Communist connections from 1935-41.
FBI reports said Glasser had made contact with Soviet representative agents in 1938-39 when he had worked as a special attorney with the Justice Department, and had given the agents secret information from the Justice Department files.
