INQUIRY FOR
MARSHALL Is LIKELY
Committee May Ask Right to
Call Witnesses on His
impeachment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. zI.-Indications
are that the Committee on the judiciary
will ask the House for authority to sub
pPna witnesses In the case against Dis
trict Attorney Marshall OF New York,
embodied in the impeachment resolution
introduced by Representative Buchanan.
The committee is convinced. 1t was said
to-day. hat some of the allegations are
of a character that warrant careful in
v~estigation.
While the charges made against Mr.,
Marshall nave not been supported eX-
cept by statements of Mr.. Buchanan,
witnesses who have been produced are
said to take the position that 1t is the
duty OF the House to look into them. For
this reason it is likely the committee
soon will ask for power to summon
witnesses and TAXI such other action as
It may deem appropriate. The commit
tee expects to complete its preliminary
investigation OF the case at al early
date. At the request OF Mr.. Buchanan
II Is awaiting the arrival OF additional
witnesses.
There il no disposition on the part
OF members of the committee to make
political capital out of the Buchanan
resolution. Democratic leaders would
be glad to sidetrack the resolution and
Republican members exhibit no desire
10 take partisan advantage. despite the
fact that the principals in the ease are
Democrats.
Final decision OF the committee may
be delayed a few weeks. For several
days the committee has been listening
to statements by David Sladc in regard
to Mr.. Marshall's official conduct in the
Rae Tanner case. Buchanan has de-
manded an inquiry into Mr.. MarshalI's
conduct In that case. especially as It
