SARGENT SEES PRESIDENT REPORT BELIEVED MADE Fight Expected to Break Out on Floor—Commissioner at His Desk as Usual. Eight reports from members of the House judiciary committes on the case of Commissioner Frederick A ‘enning were hefore the’House toda —one of them, constituting the ma- ority report adopted by a vote of 14 | to 4, clearing him of any violation of law as charged in the 34 impeachment articles made agafnst him by Repre- sentative Thomas L. Blanton of Texas, but condemning his practice—and seven of them representing the views {of nine members who dissent in part froi the opinion of the majority. x of the minority reports are con- rued as adverse to Mr. Fenning, the other one holding the view that the j jary committee went bevond its function in discussing the case after deciding that he was not an impeach- able officer. While the expected fight on the i floor of the House was momentarily expected to break, Commissioner Fenning himself came to work at the District Building this morning and transacted his usual du ie de- dlined to discuss the in- dicated that he might a he had read the complete report: Attorney General Sarge ‘he President today, and w were indications that he took aim a report of the whole Fe matter for the President’s con tion, there was no official verificatios that he did. Action by House Unlikely. ‘While sporadic outbreaks by mem: bers who wish to air their views on the Fenning case still further may develope on the floor of the House it appeared today that the House leaders contemplate no action by that body. Their attitude is that the judiclary committee has reported that the Dis trict Commissionership it not an im- peachable office, with comments re garding Mr. Fenning's practice, which do not call for any specific action by the House. It is stated further that the At. torney General now has the judiciary committee report and as the chief law officer of the Government he has been closely watching the Fenning case from its inception, at the re quest of the President. The orderiy procedure is for the Attorney General to make a report with recommenda- tions to the President and the Presi dent will then act as he sees fit.
