ministrator was one that called for
unceasing energy. ability and good judg-
ment. II was one in which any errors

makes him the finest kind OF cabinet

Goodykoontz of West Vir-
giinia Among Members Who
Sharply Criticiise Federal
Judge for Accepting Base
Ball Job

Washington, Feb. 21.-The right or
Il federal judge Ia accept outside EN-
ployment while serving on the bench
was sharply questioned by members
of the house judiciary committee 10.
day, in considering impeachment
charges against Judge Kenesay Noun
tain Landiss
After Representative Welty, Demo
crat, Ohio, had outlined the grounds
on which he asked for the impeach-
menr of Judge Lands because OF his
$4,000 a year contract as supreme
arbter Of organized baseball, mem
bers insisted that the committee
should so thoroughly into the case.
With this in view, Chairman Nolstead
announced that the question would
be taken up Wednesday.
1t will be left entirely for the COM
mittee, composed exclusively of law
yers, TO decide whether there is suffc-
cient ground to justify presentation
of The case TO the house Of representa-
tves. Should the house vote TO i'm
peach, the senate would sit as the
trial court
Attacked BY Goodykoontz.
Theree Republicans are members of
the committee, Representatives
Hustled Goodykuntz, West Virginia.
Boise, Iowa, openly expressed opposi-
ton to the double service of the
judge.
Mr.. Hustled declared That accept
anCe so large an outside salary was
courageous" but insisted the commit
tee should have facts on which to
draw an indictment:
Mr. Boise thought the judge might
be forced by public opinion TO quit
one job.
Mr.. Goodykuntz said that if Judge
Lands course was legally and moral
~ proper, there WAS noting TO prevent
the meat packers or others employing
4 man on the bench TO look after
their interests while still acting as
judge.
Asked TO explain why Judge Lands
had been picked by organized base
ball to act as arbiter, Mr.. Welty pre-
scented a letter from Chicago, which
purported to quote one of the mag
mates as saying that Lands, as a prl-
vate citizen, meant nothing as base
ball, but that Lands, as a judge
meant everything. Mr.. Welty was
emphatic in the assertion that this
was the real basis for his appoint
.mcflt.
May Be censured.
Some members expressed the view
that while the committee might not
vote to impeach, the charges would
not be dismissed without possible
censure Of criticism. II also said that
Mr.. Welty's bill making it unlawful
for a federal judge to accept any pay
except that allowed him by the gov
crnment probably would be reported
out with a recommendation for speedy
enactment. This, they said would
cure the "evil condition mentioned
by Mr.. Welty.
