Investigating Committees

Action in the House of Repre-
sentatives last week was doml-
mated by discussions of funds to
paw the costs of investigations
being scheduled by Congressional
committees. This is the last
major action remaining before

over every conceivable subject
and even into some areas which
are fairly startling innovations

is one into the price increases
of newsprint, the paper on which
