Johnson Gives Up Rights as Former Judge 72-Year-Old Jurist Refuses to Submit to Further Questioning COMMITTEE WILL CONTINUE SEARCH House Group to Determine if Impeachment Action Should Be Taken Washington, July 15 -Albert W. Johnson gave up his rights as a former Federal judge Saturday thus ending a five-day public hearing by a House judiciary sub-committee into his official conduct during his 20 years service. The 72-year-old Lewisburg, Jurist refused to submit to further questioning by judiciary committee members before whom he had appeared voluntarily. The committee will continue its inquiry in preparation of a report to determine if impeachment action should be taken against him. Johnson, who resigned his office in the Middle District of Pennsylvania on July 3, giving his age as the reason, submitted a letter to the committee in which he said renounce and relinquish "Any' right, including financial benefits, that I may have under the retirement provisions the act of Congress He then cited the act which he had invoked in his letter of resignation to President Truman claiming the $10,000 pension allowed all Federal judges 70 or.

over who resign or retire after 10 years service. In accepting Johnson's waiver of pension rights, Rep. Estes Kefauver chairman of subcommittee, said that it would be in the record, and added: "I want to make it clear that there are no conditions pertaining to its acceptance. The committee will matters in the record due consideration." Kefauver later told newsmen that Johnson's action in surrendering his rights did not end committees responsibility since the house had instructed them to complete the inquiry into Johnson's conduct and prepare a report relative to impeachment. The penalties provided by the Constitution in impeachment cases are limited to removal from office, loss of pension holding, prohibition against ever federal office.

During the four hours of questioning Saturday, Johnson denied knowledge of or participation in any kickback or fee splits in his court. The testimony centered mostly on alleged "deals" in the Williamsport Wire Rope Company receivership.

Forty Fort SECOND Wilkes Barre Record WILKES-BARRE, MONDAY, JULY 16, 1945 Slashing Rain Causes Heavy Damage in Area 40 Days of Rain Promised Because of Storm on St. Swithin's Day 3 CAVES REPORTED IN PITTSTON CITY Solomon's Creek Nearly Leaves Banks Threatening War Plant We're going to have 40 more days of rain- as if we haven't had plenty already--if the St. Swithin's Day legend holds true.

According to the legend, if it rains on St. Swithin's Day, rain will fall on the next 40 days. Yesterday, came was St. down in Swithin's the Day proverbial and bucketfulls during the morning. Slashing rain swept the region from Saturday night to Sunday morning, causing heavy damage in some places and depositing 2.22 inches of precipitation on the ground, according to the CAA Communications Station at the Wyoming Valley Airport, giving St.

Swithin plenty to worry about on his day. Virtually every community in the county reported flooded streets as sewers were unable to handle the torrents of water. Three caves were reported in Pittston, one damaging severely the rear of the home of William Gabel, 171 Center Street. Another cave occurred in front of the idence of John Hogan, Underwood Lane, and a third appeared in front Henry Tracy's it home at 109 Church Street. All three caves are located over the mines of the Pagnotti interests.

Water poured into the gas staItion owned by William J. Chesna, on Old River Road in Hanover Township, entering the gasoline tanks and causing considerable damage. Old River Road at that point was shut off to traffic, and some water remained on the road late last night. Ashley reported the intense storm flooded the lower end of the town, filling some cellars and flooding streets. A fire engine was used to pump water from cellars.

Nanticoke, Plymouth and most other other communities than flooded reported no damage streets and damage to trees. The Waller Street plant of the General Aviation Equipment Company was threatened for time as Solomon's Creek rose rapidly and came within five inches of going over the embankment. Officials hurried to the plant prepared for any emergency, but the stream reached its peak about five inches from the top of the wall and, after leveling off there for some time, started to recede. The swollen waters of Solomon Creek caused by the heavy rain of Saturday night and Sunday morning, together with debris, including several railroad ties and trunks of trees washed from the mountainside into the creek, blocked it between Main and Brown Streets, Ashley, and caused the creek to change its course midway between North Main and Brown Streets and run over to Manhattan Street, filling the street cellars of homes in that sections and causing considerable damage to lawns and 1 gardens. The mud and dirt deposits kept members of the Ashley street department busy during the entire day cleaning the debris on Brown Street from Ashley to Manhattan.

In the Manhattan Street section many cellars were filled with water and it was necessary for the street department to use the fire engine pump to empty the cellars. It was also reported that considerable damage was also done in the Hazleton section in the Third Ward by the water which rushed down from the mountainside, lawns, and ruining gardens. At Scranton, approximately 25 blocks of paved streets were made impassable by washouts, the Lackawanna River ascended close to overflow crest and cellers in several parts of the city were flooded during an extending downpour. The rainfall was 3.6 inches, the heaviest in a 24-hour period since July, 1935, when the measurement was 3.8 inches, R. C.

West, meterologist, said. Damage to dirt streets was the heaviest since the floods of May, 1942, Arthur G. Davis, superintendent of public works, said. Yes, St. Swithin had his day legend in a big way.

Let's hope the falls far short of its mark. Luck Wins Out Moscow, Idaho, July 15 (P) -It took a long time to decide whether Clifford Kleer's luck or the Friday the 13th bugaboo would win out.
