Washington. Jan. 2S-lNS- The
impending fight over funds for the
Federal Communications Commits
sion set the stage today for what
may be a major House test OF
authority between the executive

ment.
The issue was involved in the
refusal OF FBI Director J. Edgar
Hoover, acting under presidential
directive. to testify on radio in
telligence activities OF the FEC be-
fore the LEA committee investigat.
ing the communications agency.
Although no action has yet been
taken, the committee headed by
Rep. Lea (D) Cal, is considering
a recommendation that the. gag"
issue be placed before the entire
House.
Eugene L. Carey. counsel for the
committee, said the House group
has under consideration the ques-
ton of whether to bring Hoover
before the bar of the House in
contempt proceedings.

ture Of the Congress" and there

igation-without executive inter
ference. President Roosevelt's d.
