Unanimous Resolution
Stope Velde Activity
Unless All Approve
WASHINGTON, March 12
—(U.P).—The house un-Amer-
ican activities committee
Thursday unanimously ap-
proved a resolution to stop
chairman Harold H. Velde
from starting any new com-
munist investigations without
the committee’s approval.
The resolution was offered by
Rep. Francis E. Walter (D., Pa.)
in a commitee fight that followed
Velde’s suggestion for a possible
Investigation of communism among
the clergy.
Its adoption came after a hectic
public session called to check into
an alleged spy ring seeking to ob-
tain confidential information.
The scheduled witness—Abraham
Glasser, a Rutgers university law
professor—got a postponement until
Wednesday and then issued a pub -
lic statement blasting the Reds-in-
education investigation.
Committee Accused
He accused the committee of
trying to "destroy” his repu-
tation and challenging its rights to
rake over what he called 16-year-
old disloyalty charges against him
“long since put to rest."
The committee then went behind
closed doors to question another
professor— Byron G. Dsrling of
Ohio State university—and to set-
tie the big fight over Velde’a com-
ments on clergymen.
Walter told reporters that his
move to check-rein Velde was ap-
proved unanimously. His resolu-

It was the second violation of
