CONGRESS POWER
IN CUSTER ARGUED
Right to Create Declared to
Entail Authority to Gov
b. ern Employment.

Argument which commenced late
Yesterday in the United States Su
preme Court on the case covering
the constitutional prerogatives OF the
Congress and the Executive n tie
removal from office q, PERSONS ap
pointed by the PreSI lent continue
today. Argument VAS opened yes
terday by Will +. King. counsel for
the Myers estate. Senator Pepper of
Pennsylvania presented the Senate :
views.
The case presents directly the qut
ton of the constitutionality Of an act
of Congress which provides tha. post
masters of the first. second and Thrill
classes can be appoints and re
moved" only with the advice and con
sent of the Senate. Myers based his
suit for back pay on :he claim that
his removal was illegal becalse the
name of his successor WI3 not sub
United to the Senate until after the
four-year term of office bad expired.
Argues for Congress.
The argument yesterday emphasized
the contention that the Constitution
created certain offices and delegated
10 Congress the right to create others.
Under this right to create, it was
contended, Congress had the power
10 impose conditions as to tenure.
pay, how the appointments should be
made and how incumbents could be
removed.
In delegatinG to the President the
right to appoint. the court was told
Congress had the power to provide
that the appointments should be
effective only when approved by the
Senate, and could, when it thought
eXpedient, provide that person
appointed and confirmed could be
removed only with the consent of the
Senate.
The solicitor general based his
argument today on the contention
that the constitutional power of
Congress extends only to the creation
of offices and how they may be filled.
nut that the President. being charged
with the faithful discharge of the
affairs of the administration. must
have full and unimpaired liberty TO
remove those whose tenure, because
OF inefficiency or for any other
reason, is found detrimental TO the
best interests of the Government.
