But it far outstrips the others at preent in capturing headlines, and therefore most effectively alls attention to the strength and weakness of this major 3gislative function. The investigative process is as old as the republic, alhough dhly its more spectacular developments attract much mblic attention. A large proportion of the work of each con;ress is devoted to a scrutiny of men and affairs. In the louse, an inquiry is generally limited by the fact that the erms of all representatives expire every two years. But in he senate which "never dies" it may continue as long ashe subject holds sufficient interest. ' ; ,' Is is in the senate, therefore, that this function attains ;reatest effectiveness and sometimes produces the most udicrous performances. The Brewster committee's investijation of contracts for planes never used already has taken

n a,, ciircusr atmosphere, although it has fallen far short of he -comic results achieved when another committee, some reas ago, perched a midget on J. Pierpont Morgan's knee. Jut-tit also i has illustrated some of the possibilities noted in .938 by an English student of our government including ibility to 'dramatize a point of view, to suggest some current nystery of politics, to stir up curiosity, or even boldly to issert facts yet to be proved. . v But. this prying into affairs of men and organizations has lot ial ways been considered praiseworthy. Young Woodrow (Vilson, analyzing congress not long after he became eligible ;o vote, belittled the feeble attempt to do by "smelling comnittees" what he felt the British house of commons accomp-

isnea Dy its direct control over theAead ofthe government. ,

niuiuugn oume invesugaciuns sun are consiaera smeuy, i more obvious drawback today is that so many inquiries imount-to belated stable-locking. Another disadvantage from the public viewpoint lies . in the power given to air pudges, rumor or suspicion without the obligation to verify or prove. Abuse of this power, is most apparent when a. committee tries to 'uncover political dirt for campaign purposes. Some critics hold that this is one of its more prominent motives.

, Yet the past 25 years, have nroduced increasing- resnert'

for'senate investigations a conviction that in general they 1 are-good for the country. Much credit for this changed reaction is due to the tenacity of Senators Walsh and Wheeler of Montana in exposing the Teapot Dome scandal, and to the ' Reed committee's probe of 192Q senatorial election methods i in Illinois and Pennsylvania. The! nation still benefits from 1

those excellent jobs, which set the Brewster committee a high example of independence and effectiveness.
