LOWELL INQURY Minois Representative Would Extend Powers of Fed- eral Courts. @Prom the 5:30 Edition of Yesterday's Star.) Representative De Priest, Republican, of Illinois, criticized the House this aft- ernoon for its “premature” action in adopting a resolution providing for an {nvestigation of the conduct of Federal Judge James A. Lowell of Boston in freeing George Crawford, colored, un- der indictment in Loudoun County, Va., for the murder in January, 1932, of Mrs. Spencer Ilsley and her maid, Mina Buckner. The resolution was adopted last week and called upon the Judiciary Com- mittee of the House to make the inves- tigation. The resolution was introduced by Representative Smith, Democrat, of ‘Virginia, after he had risen to & ques- tion of constitutional privilege and im- peached Judge Lowell on his own re- sponsibility. De Priest declared the House should not have acted on the resolution until the appeal of the State of Massa- chusetts from Judge Lowell's decision has been settled. A hearing on the eppeal will be held May 23. At the conclusion of his speech, De Priest introduced a resolution to amend the fourteenth amendment to the Con- stitution, which would give the Federal | Courts authority to transfer a case to | 8 court in another State when it is determined that the.defendant would not be granted a fair trial in the State in which the offense was committed, because of race prejudice. He said the resolution had no reference to the Orawford case, but was designed chiefly to prevent a repetition of the Scotts- boro case. “All I'm asking for is a fair deal for the colored race,” said De Priest. “If we are good enough to fight for this country, we're good enough to enjoy its citizenship.” .
