Washington, May 18 (AP)—Recommendation that no action be taken on a petition to impeach Judge Isaac Meekins of North Carolina was made today by a House judiciary sub-committee.
No impeachment offenses were alleged in affidavits filed by Daniel F. Hickey, former revenue bureau employee, the report to the judiciary committee said. These charges, Made last year and repeated recently in a letter addressed to the House, included collusion with federal officials for “tax fixing” while Meekins was counsel for the alien property custodian when that office was held by Thomas W. Miller, now under indictment in New York.
Without touching on these matters, the sub-committee report says they have no bearing on Meekins’ later judgeship, and therefore do not call for impeachment proceedings.
