In response to suggestions that consideration by the special Judiciary panel amounted to burying impeachment resolutions, Celler declared; "We will not sweep anything under the rug." "The committee will not indulge in any witch hunt no matter what, or who makes the charges," he added. "There will be no whitewash." McCulloch nodded agreement. The Judiciary Committee buried a previous move to impeach Douglas in 1953. As of Monday, 110 members more than one- fourth of the House had signed up in sponsorship of a resolution by Rep. Louis former chairman of the American Bar Committee on Jurisprudence, to create a select investigating committee.

While about equally divided between Republicans and Democrats, the sponsorship was top-heavy with conservative members, many of them Southerners. Set forth by Republican leader Gerald R.

Douglas should testify," Celler said. Celler and McCulloch had joined in an appeal for committee action in terms of traditional Judiciary jurisdiction over impeachment resolutions, carefully avoiding any implication of bias for or against Douglas that might fuel efforts to bypass the committee.
