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.
