cancer in the body polite" and
quoted literally from the Consti-
tuition and the Bill of Rights.

mony of Chairman Thomas of the

Activities, that all committee men,
bers had their standards OF what

Thomas standards are those of

which had worked against the in
terests of the American people.
He also said the standards of
Representative Mundt, Republican,
of South Dakota, a committee men,
ber, were those of the America
