"Organized Iniquities"

WASHINGTON, April 3.--With his ad-
barents assailing the attack on MN as
coming from organized iniquitles ana
with those opposed to him continlnS their
criticism to alleged violations or protes-
sional ethics, the Brandeis Investigating
Subcommittee today reported TO the Sen-
ate Judiciary Committee.
Senators Cummins and Works sub
nitted n minority report Each declared
that Brandeis would not make a' useful
Justice because of the reputation, just or
unjust. which had been built up around
him.
Senator Walsh. favoring the confirma-
tion, declared this line of reasoning would
fiu the Supreme Bench with spineless men
who hold no opinions. Senator Walsh
said:
"'The real crime of which this man is
guilty is that he has exposed the iniquities
of men in high places in our hnanclal
system. He has not stood in awe or the
majesty of wealth. He has written ana
expressed views on social justice
'It is easy for a brilliant lawyer so to
conduct himself as to escape calumny and
villifcation. All he needs to do is to dritt
with the tide. man who never repre-
sents the public, but always the cause of
corporate wealth, never has these troubles.
'Discouragements enough beset the
ambitious youth who resolutely sets upon
the path of devotion to duty and to the
cause of Justice, who tries to render some
real public service. do not care to warn
them to abandon the hope of reaching the
summit of this profession by that route y
Senator Chiffon also submitted a
favorable report with his vote and Sem
ator Fletcher a favorable vote without
a report.
