SENATOR SCORES RADICAL ELEMENT
Underwood Makes Plea For Protection Of In-
 tegrity. Of Courts

A stirring plea by Senator Oscar Underwood for protection of the integ- rity of the courts and for concerted ac- tion to resist efforts of, radical elements to destroy the fabric of our govern ment," brought prolonged applause from the POO persons who attended the week. ly luncheon of the Kiwanis club in the Tutwiler hotel Tuesday afternoon.
 There were 125 Kiwanians and 75 visitors present-one of the largest meetings of the year, according to Sec retary Howard Yielding. Senator Un- derwood, honor guest and speaker of the day, was introduced by Col. Tom O. Smith.
 'The confidence of the American peo- pie in their courts must be established during this decade" the senator as- serted. "The radical element wants our courts no longer to have authority oyer the laws of congress. They would like to vest authority in congress to enact bills over the supreme courts veto. The radicals are complaining of the consti- tutiOnal limitations which hinder their legislation and prevent them from tear. ing down our social structure. Some up. AAShI AiCu All COHSHSSc are Au AaNOE Ol such changes. The movement is now in the background, but in time of stress it may come to the front"
 The senator continued that there are only two major lines of thought-the radical, which desires no limitations on the power of congress, and the conserva- tive, which stands squarely behind the protection of the power of the Consti tuition. Warmly defending the Consti tuition as the greatest of all human do cuments, the senator said the law re Quiring approval of three-fourths of the state, as well as action by congress, tC amend it, should never be modified.
 "A change" he added, would be q move towards tearing down our great government. The Constitution, written by and for the people, protects property prevents the passage of ex post facte laws and guarantees freedom to every citizen. The method of amending oul Constitution should not be tempered with. This, as see it, is one of the big questions before our people today.
