In speaking of Witness Kuhn bfeore committee we do not defend this or any otk com- for its manner of conducting inquiries. The congressional committee has little respect for and too little concern for the pro- tection of the rights of witnesses. This has been dem- onstrated time and again in recent years. In their zeal to uncover facts, committee chairmen too often ride roughshod over common precedent and practice. This does not, however, in the present case, excuse [the contumacious attitude of the German-American Bund leader.
