Arehbnld of the United States Commerce court bo impeached for "miMbohnviotifl and high crimes and misdemeanors" was mnde to the house of representatives todny by the judicinry committee. The committee declared Archbnld's sene of moral resposibility has be come dendeded and that he "ban prostituted bis high office for per sonal profit." Thirteen articles of impeachment were presented in the resolution. The judicinry committee's report on the investigation of the commerco "ourt judge filed supplementary to these fonnnl demands bristled with denunciation of Arehbnld. ArchlmlU Denounced ' "The testimony In the whole case," the report says, "tends to support the general specification of general misbehaviour."

The committee summod up the no tion of such n course ns "having grossly abused the proprieties of his position ns a judge."
