The professor said carlier this week that fellow faculty members were slurred by remarks by Harold B. Velde (R-lll), Chairman of the House Un American Activities Committes.

"Representative Velde has a right to investigate educational lnstitutaions," Dorgan said, "and has plonty of reason to do so. professor Mather has been protected by Harvard authorities for a long time.
