Denied Winter Campus Housing, International Students Scramble to Find Alternative Options
Jonathan W. and David L. Lubell, second year Law School twin brothers, were called before closed hearings of the Jenner Committee yesterday morning and were asked to bring copies of the last two year's Law School Record (weekly newspaper) with them, the CRIMSON learned yesterday.
The two students, both executives on the Record, have been subpoenaed for open hearings in the Federal Building today at 10 a.m.
When contacted last night, Donald W. Conley 3L, co-president of the Record, declared, "I do not believe that the Law School Record as such is under" investigation." It is known that no other members of the Record staff have been subpoenaed.
Record Issue Postponed
The editors of the Record after a meeting Wednesday night postponed the regularly scheduled distribution of the paper yesterday to withdraw an article announcing that both Lubell brothers had been elected to high offices on the executive board. The issue without the election story will appear today.
The twins will be represented at today's hearings by Attorney Lawrence R. Cohen '33, a prominent member of the Massachusetts Bar Association. It is known that they have conferred with several members of the Law School faculty and administration, as well as University authorities.
Both Lubells attended New York's DeWitt Clinton High School and graduated from Cornell College of Industrial and Labor Relations in June of 1951. In addition to their Record activities, the two have had high scholastic standing, with John being a member of Legal Aid.
Faculty Members to Appear
At the closed session before the Jenner Committee, Jonathan Lubell was under questioning for 25 minutes, while David Lubell was queried for over ten minutes.
A reliable source indicated that the committee demanded the Lubells to signify every article they had written for the Record in the last two years.
Two College faculty members are also expected to testify today, although their identities have not yet been learned. It is believed, however, that the committee has finished with Kirtley F. Mather, professor of Geology, after an hour grilling in yesterday's closed hearings.
Benjamin R. Mandel, Chief Researcher for the Internal Subcommittee, indicated that the hearings would continue into next week if "sufficient information is uncovered."
