time and planning, he said.
Judd criticised the present
hearing and said he greatly re-
GREETED the action OF the House
District Of Columbia committee
which approved subcommittee
TO make the investigation.
The Republican Congressman
said a public recital OF every bad

torted picture Of what Is really
pening In the school system In
the nations capital
He said he would not have OBJ
jected 10 a private, responsible
study designed 10 obtain the real
facts and improve the schools but
that he considered the present in
vestlgation an attempt to discredit
school degeneration and give the
alarmists and opponents Of de-
segregation ammunition.
II am for school indignation and
l expect II TO succeed no matter
TO what length opponents go-be-
cause II Is right and II Is the law
OF the land as interpreted by our
highest courts"
Mr.. Judd would not comment on
the attack on the committee
counsel made by Congressman
Roy Wier, Democrat from the
state Third Congressional dis
