The number of Congressmen planning investigations of alledged communist influence into the nation's colleges and universities jumped to three last week.
The first to announce an investigation was Representative Harold Velde (R-Ill.), the new chairman of the House Un-American Activities Committee. Last week, Senator Joseph R.
