mand to expulsion for his conduct as
disclosed in tho inquiry. Representa-
tive McDermott announced his resig-
nation and asserted that he would
seek further reelection. appealing
his case from the Judiciary committee
OF the house to the people of his dis
trict."

committee, said later no action would
be sought on the report OF the judic-
fery committee recommending resoIu-
tions reprimanding McDermott and
