W A SHING TO N, D. C., March

ate judiciary committee by a
vote of 8 to 3 decided to adopt
the report which recommended
that President Coolidge’s nom

The action of the committee Is
considered a certain forecast of

•
Judge McCamant was given a
recess appointment by President
Coolidge, but Senator Johnson
of California fought It when the
