VOLSTEAD DEFENDS
U. S. JUDGE LANDIS
Chairman of Houso Judiciary
Committee Against Impeach
ment Report
NO EVIDENCE OF WRONG
Ky (lie Associated Tress
'WftitilnRton, Mnrch :i. ninMntlnc
from tlie notion of tlic House Juilloinry
committee In rerommemnns invostlpi
tlon by the next Consrehs of impeneli
ment olinrjcc ncaiint Federal .Tutlce
TnnilU. riinltmun VoNteml. in n mi
nority report, trolny ilerlnred postpone
ment tended only to diwredlt tlie jmlfie
nd would weaken Mm i tlie ndinin
iMration of justice.
Ucpresentntlve Vo'stend expressed
the belief that not one member of the
committee would vote for Impeachment
of Judje Lnndis because of lili ne-'
reptanee of the office of hnsehsill nrbl
ter while nerving on the. benrli. nor
would any considernble number of
House members vote to Mitniu the
charges. .
"No violntion f law on the part of
JmlKC I.andls was called to the atten
tion of the committee." the chairman
declnred, "nor is it believed thnt the
judpe Is guilty of nny act thnt would
estubllsh moral turpitude. One or 'both
rroundN would have to be ctabll-hei
before impeachment proceedings could
b mulntnlned "
Chlcaco. March .1. (Hy A l'.
JiUIrp Kenesaw M. I.audis today -aid
he would have nothing to -ay concern
lnic Impeochnie'nt proceedings threatened
against him In the national House of
Itepwcntntlves until he had received
official word of what the House com
mittee had been told.
"I have asked the committee to sond
me a copy of the charges, evidence,
arguments and report if their rules per
mit me to huo this information." lu
poid. "I iitil 1 know what tlie com
mittee was told 1 Miall have nothing
whatever to say."
The jurist indicated that his attitude
on the ultimate outcome of the contro
versy over his acceptance of the post of
national baseball commissioner had not
changed since hU declaration on the
subject nt St. I.nuis before the Mis
souri liar Association last December.
In thnt address he said :
"I realize that men may disagree re
specting u federal judge being nlo u
baseball commissioner. The constitution
provides n way to get rid of a judicial
officer; .thnt is. bv impeachment. Hut
this is a very cumbersome process, nnd
It does not accord with my idea nt all
for a federal judge to avoil himself of
this shield.
"for my own part, nnd penkinR to
you gentlemen with nil deliberation. I
say that If either house of Congress
should pass a resolution hostile to my
present situation my resignation imme
diately would go to Washington."

WIT BOARD
Walsh Committoo Rocommonds
Ono Director in Order to
Check Waste
C. M. SCHWAB EXONERATED
Washington, March .1. As the result
of an exhaustive Investigation revealing
nn unjustifiable wnstn nnd faulty ac
counting In the expenditure of approxi
mately SIM'OO.OOO.OOO In the govern
ment shipbuilding program, the Walsh
'ommlttee which Investigated the I'nlted
Stnte shipping bonrd recommended to
Congress radical changes In the method
of operating the fleet of vessels now
owned by the government.
The committee's report was made
-inbllc yesterday nnd was signed by
Democrnts as well as Republican mem
bers of tlie committee.
In comparison with other renorts on
congressional committee which inves
tigated governmental activities during
the wnr. notably the committees which
Investigated the Wnr Department, the
report of the Wnlsh committee Is nota
bly sober In temper. It gives un
stinted praise to the achievements of
the shipping board and tlie Emergency
Fleet Corporation in tlie number of
vessels furnished In such short order,
but minces no words in pointing out
the mistakes made.
"It Is the judgment of the committee
that the shipping requirements of the
nntlnn cannot be best ndmlnlstercd
throutrh a bonrd of Bevon members " thn
report stntesjn conclusion, "nnd while
, there may be some parallel along
regulatory lines between the shipping
board nnd the Interstate Commerce
Commission, it is the view of the com-
' mittee that what is needed is more cen-
trnllaa'tlon of administrative authority
than can be had by n large board. Until
this tremendous fleet Is disposed of, a
competeut person of experience should
be placed In charge of the operations.
The report completely exonerates It.
W. llolllng and Charles M. Schwab of
charges made against them by witnesses
who testified previously before the com
mittee. The testimony of Tucker K.
Sands, alleging thnt the sum of .$-10,000
had been paid lilin by the Downey Ship
buildlug Corporation to bo divided be
twoeu Mr. Hollltig nnd others, accord
ing to the report was not true. Follow
ing ti review- of the charges of Colonel
K, S. Almdle, former comptroller of the
board, that Mr. Schwab had spent
200,000 for personal expenses during
one month In 11)18, the report states,
Dint fntlnwlni, furtlifci. Invr.tltrnMnn thn
allegations were proved untrue.
