farm groups are not far behind, with

ing for State socialism. What they
seek is an immediate gain for them
selves.
I Veterans organizations are max
ing their demands upon the Gov

plan for a veterans bonus-which
would require huge sum Of money.
The recent change in the House
rules, giving chairmen of standing
committees of the House the right
to demand recognition to move to
bring up bills reported by their
committees, if the Rules Committee
does not report them out, may give
the soldiers bonus a big lift. Let

such bill, and even if the admin

now seems no way to keep the
measure off the floor.
The increasing expenditure

And if industry fails, the only step
left will be for Government to take
it over. 1t could happen.

.call witnesses in their own defense
and without the right to cross
examine their accusers.
While preserving the basic idea
that a congressional committee
should not have its hands tied by
the technicalities of courtroom pro-
cedure, proponents of reform be-
lieve they can give witness most
of the projections offered by court.
These proponents come from both
sides of the political fence. Rep
resentative Case, Republican, of
New Jersey has introduced a bill
similar in many respects to the NC
Cormack-Lucas measure.
Bender Started Movement
And it was a Republican sub
committee chairman - Representa-
tive Bender of Ohio-who started
the ball rolling toward reform last
session when his House Expendi-
lures Subcommittee set up its own
code of committee procedures.
Mr.. Mccormack pointed out that
he was a member of the Bender
subcommittee and helped to write
its code. He considers it remark
able piece of constructive work -
a preceoent-maker that indicates
some of the criticisms leveled at
congressional committees have been
recognized as valid.
The Bender code, adopted only
for the guidance of the Bender SUBJ
committee, provided that no wit
ness should be examined in a closed
session unless at least two members
and the committee counsel or as
sistant counsel were present.
The Bender procedure also pro-
vided for witnesses to file sworn,
relevant" statements and to be &C
companied by counsel. 1t did not
guarantee cross-examination by &C
cused Spersons, but it did leave the
door open for possible cross-eXam-
nation with the committees per-
mission.
Cross.Examination Argued
The Mccormack proposal does
permit a witness to cross-examine
his accuser for not more than an
hour, personally or by counsel.
The right of cross-examination
has been the most hotly argued of
all the rights denied witnesses. The
! Un-American Activities Committee
