censured and equally strongly de-
Tended for accepting the position of
baseball arbiter in majority and mi
nority reports submitted to the
House yesterday by the judiciary
Committee which considered the i'm

sentative welty. of Ohio.
The majority report. said to rep
resent the views OF all the men,
bers of the committee present ex-
cept Chairman Volstead. stated that
Judge Landis' acceptance of the
baseball position is Inconsistent
with the full and absolute perform
ance" of his duty as judge and
constitutes "a serious improperly
on the part of said Judge"
Because of a lack of time for
further investigation, the majority
report recommended that the i'm
peachment charges be left to the
new Congress.
Chairman Volstead. in his mi
nority report. attacked the ma
jority findings as unsupported
and the recomme ndation for
further consideration Of the inn
peachment proceedings at the next
session as "entirely unjustified."
The chairman held that postpone
ment of action is unfair to Judge
Landis. II he is guilty the commit

REPORT SUBMITTED
ON SHIPPING BOARD

tralizatiOn of Admins
trative Authority.

Transfer of the functions of the
Shipping Board to an executive de-
partment is recommended by the
Walsh committee of the House in its
final report made public yesterday
The committee expresses the opin-
ion that what is needed is more
Capitalization of administrative au-
thority than can be had with a large
board.
That there has been waste and in
efficiency and lack of coordination
in the affairs of the Shipping BOARD
is asserted However. the commit
tee concludes that considering Inc

plishments in the number OF ships
constructed. the tonnage secured
and the time within which the ships
were completed and delivered, con-
stitute the most remarkable achieve
ment in shipbuilding that the world
has ever seen"
1t is declared that evidence taken
by the committee shows that Ameri'
can shippers are handicapped by re-
quirements of existing laws. The
committee declares that II found nc
evidence ito prove that dishonest oI
fraudulent motives actuated any
member of the Shipping Board oil
any member of the board of trustees
Of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton
The general trend of the report
is that considering the war emer'
gency and the gigantic undertake
ing, waste and extravaganza was
inevitable.
Present members of the board
and some OF the present official:
are commended for having brought
about an Improvement in condi'
tions.
The nature of the report is such
that both Democratic and Repub'
lican members of the committed
were able to sign 1t. There wa:
