I"GOD BLESS-ER-OH, YES,
BLESS THE UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, March 24-The
dignified formality with which the
Supreme Court daily goes into ses-
sion was converted into a comedy
today. when the crier of the court
forgot the Zines" he has repeated
for nearly ten years without an err
ror.
As the justices take their places
on the bench the crier admonishes
all persons to draw near and give
their attention, and concludes with
imploring the blessing of God upon
the United States and this honor
able court
Today the cr!er became confused,
admonishing all to give attention to
business and when he came to the
concluding part could not think upon
whom the blessing was to rest. After
two or three attempts the laughter of
every member of the court and that
of spectators and lawyers drowned
his words.
