I—(VPI -Delegate* tn the American bnr anaoclalkm convention today rejected almost unanlmoualy a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Roosevelt on charges he deliberately Is leading the nation Into war. With only three of four dliment Ing VOtrw. the association Upheld the report of Its resolutions committee that the lmpea< hment resolution "does not <-ome within the scope pr powers of the constitution of the association " Joseph Harrington of Chicago, author of the resolution, contended that It was the association's duty to attack "unconstitutional acts" of the president and Insisted that the AHA could take such actum. Harrington's resolution drew loud boos when Introduced hi a general session Monday, and was the subject of hot debate when placed before the resolutions committee the same day. Another liar rington resolution asks an immediate referendum of AHA members ua wteUer they law a declaration of war without the consent of the congrras.
