The idea that Jean Juarez. the Social
list leader, who is president OF the COM
mission. should be invested with powers
similar TO those Of an investigating Judgs
and thus be able TO order the arres;
OF any one he wishes has aroused much
opposition. The Senate has elected a
committee 10 draw UP proposals for its
consideration. NJ Ribot Is the most i'm
portant member OF this committee, which
Is likely to recommend that limited powers
be granted to the Rochelle investigating
commission. 1t will probably be en-
powered TO punish witnesses who refuse ~
testify. but will not get the full judicial
powers which were granted to It by the
Chamber by unanimous vote.
