Special Committee Of Congress
Calls New Workers. Speech
Destructive of Dignity
OFFENDER ATTEMPTS
TO JUSTIFY WORDS
Attack on President Roosevelt
in House of Representatives
Rebuked by Members.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 27.-With but a
few faint nays today the House adopt-
cd the report of the special committee
recommending that the speech deIiv-
cred in the House last week by Repre
sentative Wiilett, of New York. in
which the President was severely criti-
cised, be expunged from the Con
gressional record. a letter written
to the committee by Representative
Willett, urging that his speech should
remain on record, accompanied the re-
port
Declaring that the consideration of
the speech in question involves "a con-
sidera ton of what is and what is not
orderly debate in the House." the COM
mittee's report defines the privileges
of members of the House and the linn
ltations of debate. Ii discusses at
length the relationship of the two
houses of Congress and the relation
ship which must be maintained by the
House of Representatives and the
President in accordance with the con-
stitution.
Your committee has carefully con-
sidered the remarks of the gentleman
from New York." continues the report.
and finds that his remarks concerning
the President are not justified by any
considerations of the constitutional
duties or powers of the House; that
they transcend proper limits of crit
icism in debate; that they are destruc-
tive of that courtesy, respect and Dig
nifty which ought to be preserved, and
that they ought not to remain in the
permanent official record of the pro-
ceedings in the House."
In his letter to the committee Mr..
Willett claims that he did not transcend
