C. Its wha FILTER-BLI Up front you g and specially pr ry Power ttion Fori brothers attending Northwestern i University. James Kolbe, a freshman major. i ing in political science, and John t Kolbe, a s e n i o r in the Medill School of Journalism, are co-chair- ( men of the committee, which has i its national headquarters at 610 Lincoln Street, Evanston, Ill. Both boys are from Patagonia, Ariz. I Letter To Congress In a letter to all members of Congress released this week, the brothers asked senators and rep resentatives to "join in this fight to protect the autonomous right of Congress to inform itself and the American public of the per- i sons and practices which would corrupt or destroy our way of life." They point to the long tradition behind the legislative investiga- I tory power dating back to the i parliamentary inquiries of t h e 16th century. They charge the numerous or. ganizations which oppose many Congressional investigations with " w e a k e n i n g the investigatory I power by corrupting the condi- i tions which are essential to its effective and responsible use." Distorting Constitution? These opposing groups are ac cused of "severely distorting cer tain provisions of the Constitution "Cocky" [OPU S 90'L.L MVE TO GET RIDOF TOSE( S8 NDDJ is yours in Winstor et rich golden tobaccos ocessed for filter smokin ned By S mid totally ignoring the necessity e or Congress to search out facts" ) n order to justify their opposi. ( ion. \ The two y o u t h s assert that z ommunists and " n a n y anti. knierican individuals and organi !ations" would g a i n the most rom the weakening of the inves. igatory power, because Congres- t iional committees "have been so v uccessful in uncovering the true s iature of their operations." I The Kolbes conclude the letter ( >y stating that Congress cannot )ass intelligent laws when its in- c restigations are hindered by "such < Iniper tactics." S James Roosevelt The letter is timed to coincide I v i t h the opening of Congress, I vhen Rep. James Roosevelt (D.- I lalif.) is expected to call for the tbolishment of the Un-American kctivities Committee. James Kolhe, 18, formerly a >age in the United States Senate, aid that the students' committee vill seek to organize support for i IIUAC wherever it holds its hear. t ngs. This is a direct counterat- t ack to displays such as the riots ,vhich broke out last May when HUAC held hearings in San Fran isco.

Central Issue "The central issue has now be. (Me whether or not Congress Jll cointinue to investigate mat ers free of the arbitrary controls vith which its opponents seek to hackle it," said John Kolbe, 20, a ember (f Northwestern's Stu. ent Senate. - "It is no longer an attack on ne or two committees. They have leclared war on both the Congres ional prerogative to inform itself od on the p e o p I e 's 'right to now.' By properly serving a pub. c educative function, we hope to iring an end to that war." The committee uses as its motto statement m a d e by Supreme fourt .ustice Hugo Black in 1936, s a U n i t e d States Senator: 'There is no power on earth that an tear away the veil behind %,hich powerful and audacious and mnscrupulous groups operate, save he sovereign legislative power irned with the right of subpoena mnd search."
