Washington, Jan. 90, 1929.
Mr. Whitman moved to refer the letter
Nth the documents accompanying the
,,me 10 the committee on Foreign rela-
t;ons with Instructions to designate in their
rsport such parts thereof as, in their OPT
MON i! might be proper TO publish.
Mr.. Baldwin thought the part which re"
l,ted TO any controversy between Gen
J,rkson and Judge Fromentin should be
referred to the committee on the Judiciary,
,ad the residue only to the Committee on
Foreign Relations.
Dir Nelson OF Maryland moved that the
communication be laid on the table.
Mr. Trimble thought the gentleman
from Maine Mr.. Whitman) who had mo-
we'd the subject, ought not now to shrink
from the labor OF investigating il, and
place il as load upon the shoulders OF
he Committees Of the House.
Mr.. Wright expressed his sentiments in
favor Of the original proposition when
Mr.. Nelson withdrew the motion TO lay
Tue communication on the table; and
Mr. Whitman, in pursuance OF the sug-
geslion of the gentleman from Kentucky,
lNr, Trimble) moved that the subject De
referred 10 select committee, with the
same Instructions that had been proposed
IN relation to the committee OF Foreign
Affairs.
Mr.. F. Jones was willing to refer it TO
that committee, but wished all the docu-
Hents 10 be printed.
Mr.. Moore Of Alabama, renewed the mo,
lion Of Mr.. Nelson, that the communlca'
lion lie on the table.
This motion was supported by the mo-
yer. and by Messrs. War6eld, Sawyer,
Balaovth, F. Walker, Rhea, LOwndes,
Wood, and Sergeant; and opposed by
Messrs Trimbie, Archer, Reid, Wright,
Whitman, Dwight, Floyd, Cannon, and
Buchanan.
Nr, fright wished to refer it to the COM
mitlee on Foreign Affairs, and Mr.. Bucha-
nan to the committee on the Judiciary !;
MeSsrs. FAIRFIELD aud Sergeant thought. if
OGe part Of the communication was refer
red 10 the Committee on the Judiciary,
because Judge FromentIn was concerned
NIT. the correspondent part of it should
he referred to the committee on Military
Affairs, because il related to Gen. Jackson;
50 between both committees, the one lay
Ing hold OF the Judge, and the other OF
The General they might perhaps be kept
apart.
M Wood was in favor ofreferring the
SUBJECT 10 the committee OF the whole on
he state of the Union; but
The question was at length taken, and
ne motion prevailed to Jay the whole on
GehbIe,
Mt. Tucker Of Va, then moved that
