Anti-Viet Nam War Protest Probe Near Closure
The House Un American Activities Committee moved toward closing its questioning of anti-Vietnam War witnesses after two stormy sessions. Subpoenas were extended for three months for two witnesses who sought counsel as attorneys withdrew. A lawyer was ejected when told to sit down, and one witness chose to testify without counsel. The panel aims to hear five of a dozen subpoenaed youths and may address measures to punish disruption of troop movements.
