The Washington Post. in commenting on the citation of Miss Bryan for contempt by the House committee. said in an editorial: In truth. Miss Bryan has not been in contempt of Congress. she has only been in contempt of a committee which has itself been contemptuous of its congressional mandate and of democratic procedure. But that is not all to the story of the Joint AntiFascist Refugee Committee. In a further effort to harass this relief organization. the House committee has subpenaed Dr. Edward K. Barsky. national chairman of the Joint AntiFascist Refugee Committee. to appear before it Wednesday. February 13. The facts presented to you today constitute an overwhelming indictment against the procedures. activities. and plans of the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities.
