Russian Teacher Case Stalled by New York Court
In New York a state supreme court reserved decision on a writ of habeas corpus to free a Russian schoolteacher sequestered at the Soviet consulate. Judge Dickstein delayed action citing international questions while Moscow officials protested to Washington. The teacher, Mrs. Osakana Stepanovna Kosenkina, has been confined since a retreat dispute led to her removal by Yakov Lomakin. The case ties to broader Communist investigations as another witness faces HUAC in Washington.
