University to Move Soon on Probe Cases

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Corporation announced yesterday that "administrative procedure has been substantially completed" in the case of two faculty members who testified before Congressional investigating committees.

The Corporation also granted "extensions to prepare for hearings" to two others of the faculty whose refusals to testify before the committee are now "under active consideration."

Furry Case Discussed

Procedure on Wendell H. Furry, associate professor of Physics, and Leon J. Kamin, teaching fellow in Social Relations, will not be officially released, however, until decisions have been reached on the other two cases.

Dr. Helen Dean Markham and Dr. Daniel Fine, teaching fellow in Medicine, are listed as under "active consideration" by the Corporation, but have been given time extensions.

The University did not describe its "Administrative procedure" other than to say each case "culminates in a hearing before the school corporation."

Furry refused to toll a House Committee in Washington whether he is or ever was a Communist, though he identified a Smith College professor as a member of & Red cell at Harvard from 1937 to 1939.

Appearing before a Senate Internal Security Sub-committee in Boston, Kamin declined to say if he ever was a Communist, although he said that he was not at that time a member of the party.
