Constitutional clash looms as HUAC hearings begin
Washington. The House Committee on Un American Activities opened hearings on antiwar activities minutes after a federal appeals court blocked a lower court order. The three judge panel overturned a judge blocking the hearing, prompting a tense clash over legislative versus judicial power. The court also ordered a special panel to rule on the committee’s constitutionality. ACLU officials pledged to continue their constitutional challenge as police lined the corridor and a large crowd gathered for the session.
