MEETING IS CALLED N WINSLON EAS House Judiciary Committee to Act on Federal Judge’s Case in New York. ‘ By the Associated Press. A special session of the House judiciary committee has been called for tomorrow, after refusal by Attorney General Sargent, yesterday, of its re- quest that the investigation of Federal Judge Francis A. Winslow, being con- | | ducted by District Attorney Tuttle in New York, bg turned over to the com- | mittee. Representatives La Guardia, New York; Stobbs, Massachusetts, and Sum- ners, Texas, conferred with Mr. Sargent and he announced the decision immedi- ately thereafter. He held that evidence collected in New York concerning the handling of bankruptcy cases by Judge Winslow could not be turned over to others until the gand jury had filed its saying nothing could be made public as to their conclusions at this time. It will report to the full committee to- morrow and the committee then is ex- pected to determine its future course. ‘The committee had wanted to utilize the machinery and evidence available in New York for its own inquiry, so that a report mgiht be made to Congress prior to March 4. Attorney General Sargent declined to |discuss in any way the requests made by the committee, but said he felt Mr. Tuttle was conducting the investigation in an efficient and orderly manner, and that it would be improper to divulge anything that the grand jury might de- velop. He pointed out that the grand Jjury ultimately would make a complete report. at which time all it had de- veloped could be ascertained by any one | interested. La Guardia Resolution. La Guardia, who has presented charges that Judge Winslow abused his office, sponsored a resolution, ap- proved by the judiciary committee, asking the department to furnish the committee with information conerning his allegations. The Attorney General's attitude has been thet & was not within the province of the departmenr to bring charges against a Federal of- ficial for impeachment purposes.
