Ballinger Inquiry Debate Shapes House Probe
Washington reports the House adopted the Batlinger-Pinchet inquiry resolution with a key amendment forcing appointment of the investigating committee by the House rather than the speaker. The Fitzgerald amendment removing the forest service failed. Debate featured Norris and Hitchcock arguing for reform, while Pinchot’s defender Wittwerald urged narrowing the scope to focus on forest service officials. The final vote on the plan to appoint six House members passed 140 to 148 with five present, and the forest service exclusion failed 65 to 226, adjourning the matter.
