An attempt to establish a Soviet

The Communists gathered outside

He said that as far as Fenning is
concerned, the auditors report ID q

A long legal wrangle ensued
among members Of the committee,
after which the report was admitted
with the understanding that the
auditor would be called to certify
to its accuracy ana that It would
be subject to later court develop.

Presentation Of the impeachment
case against Fenning before the
House judiciary Committee prob
ably will be completed before night
fall, it was indicated as the hear.
ing was resumed this morning.
Hearing of witnesses and exami-
nation Of court records and records
of the Veterans Bureau may begin
tomorrow. 1t is probable that
when Representative Thomas L.
Blanton OF Texas. concludes his
presentation of the case, the I'm
parchment subcommittee will 60
into executive session to determine
its future course of action and to
decide upon witnesses who are to
be subpoenaed.
Last nights session Of the Dis
trict subcommittee resulted in a
sharp denunciation of the methods
alleged to have been employed by
Judge Kathryn Sellers In admins
tration OF the Juvenile Court.
Representative Ralph Gilbert, of
Kentucky, warned Judge Sellers
that he considered illegal her ap-
pointment OF her brother, Capt.
Charles o. Sellers, as deputy clerk
In her court.
The appointment, he said, con-
stitutes violation of Section 81 Of
the judicial Code, which prohibits
appointment by any Federal judge
to q court position any relative
within the degree of first cousin.
Judge Sellers defended herself by
stating that she does not consider
herself a Federal judge.
Representative Blanton warned
her that, in the light Of recent de-
cisions, the United States Supreme
Court. II asked to rule, probably
would hold her to be a Federal
officer.
The point is regarded as highly
important in connection with the
Fenntng trial, as the same decision
must be made in his case.
Lack Of Cooperation
Judge Sellers was grilled at
length concerning failure on her
part to cooperate with the Wom-
ans Bureau, under Mrs. Nina c..
Van Wrinkle who was sharply
criticized by Judge Sellers earlier
in the session.
