Dan Moody last night in
which Moody declared there was “ap-

Moody said he told Ferguson that
“it would seem there was more logic

vacate a former judgment than there
was to support the constitutionality
of the so-called amnesty bill passed
by the senate,” Moody held the
amnesty bill unconstitutional.”
“If I was understood to commit
myself to the legality of suchlfpFo-
ceeding, I regret the fact, for I did
not intend to be understood as giv-
ing a committal. The question would
require an investigation that I had
not made,” Moody concluded.

Washington, Feb. 20.—(By United
Press.)—The House aircraft investi-
gation which has provided the main
sensation at the Capitol this session
may come to an end with the ad-
journment of congress, March 4.
Just as the inquiry is becoming
fruitful and facts about the state
of the national defense are being
sifted from charges and counter
charges opposition has cropped up in
the House to acting on the resolu-
tion authorizing it to continue thrU-
out the summer and push to some
conclusion, members say.
Two reasons are advanced for this:
1. That departmental objections
may have been made.
2. That inasmuch as the original
resolution which started the inves-
tigation was introduced by Represen-
tative John Nelson, Wisconsin, man-
ager of Senator LaFollette’s candi-
dacy, to develop the inquiry into a
major probe of the national defense
i would pla>y into the hands of the in-
dependents and *give them campaign
ammunition for 1026.
