The trial of Leon J. Kamin '49 will resume this morning with prospects fairly certain that the prosecution will rest its case before the day is over.
Senators Everett M. Dirksen, of Iillinois, Karl E. Mundt, of South Datkota, and Charles E. Potter, of Michigan, will take the stand as government witnesses. The three Senators, who arrived in Boston last night, are expected to be the last witnesses the government will call.
This morning's session will begin at 9:30 in the Federal Building, half an hour earlier than usual. Judge Bailey Aldrich '28 presumably moved the time back to allow Senator Dirksen to leave as early as possible in the day. He is scheduled to deliver a speech in Knoxville, Tenn., tonight.
The hearing today follows a week's recess. When the case will be heard again after today is still in doubt, although Judge Aldrich will probably announced a time today.
The exact subject of the Senators' testimony is uncertain. Although they were the participating members of Senator Joseph McCarthy's Investigations Subcommittees when Kamin was called before it, they were not present in Boston when Kamin refused to answer six questions McCarthy asked him.
They voted with McCarthy, however, to approve the investigation for which Kamin was called at an executive session of the Subcommittee in July, 1953. No minutes exist of the meeting. The government may ask them about it.
