SUPREME COURT
RECONvENES IN
liberal MOOD
Nations Interest Centered
on Sentiment Swing
of High Bench.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Recon-
vening TO begin its n hundred
f%orty-second year of deliberations,
the supreme court Of the United
States today was a center of per-
haps greater public interest than
on any similar occasion in recent
years.
Lawyers, statesmen, politicians
and business men, are looking for
ward to a session which may cast
further light on a seeming realign-
ment of the court.
This realignment became defn-
nitely apparent late last session.
Those who follow the administra-
ton of governmental affairs became
ware at that time that a change
had taken place in the court all IN
noticed by them.
Previously Justices Oliver Wen
dell Holmes and Louis d. Brandeis
had achieved a reputation for writ
ting vigorous dissenting liberal"
opinions. Now it was found that
more frequently than not their
views we're the views Of the ma
jority.
Important Cases Pending
The change was brought about by
the addition to the courts personnel
Of Chief Justices Charles Evans
Hughes and later of Justice owen
D. Roberts. Both has assembled the
bench late in the 1929 term.
Joined with the votes Of Holmes,
"the grand old man" of the bench,
Brandeis, and, almost always, JUS
tice Harlan Ffske Stone, a majority
was formed that wrote opinions de-
cidedly liberal" on many subjects.
For the coming term, many cases
have been brought Up for review,
which present thoroughly debatable
questions Of personal right and state
powers. Cases Of these types offer
the greatest chance for discussion
among the jurists.
From Texas come cases under
which American citizens of Mexi-
can extraction ask the court to stop
racial discrimination in selections
for jury service and race segrega-
ton in the public schools. Negroes
in the same state have asked to be
heard on their right to vote in the
Democratic primaries.
Chain Store Taxes Up
Tax laws imposing special assess
ments on chain stores in several
states will be reviewed. one of last
years most sharply divided opinions
was written about such a statute
enacted in Indiana.
The validity of laws enacted to
control oil production in California
and Oklahoma also will be sub
mitted.
The court has had presented to
1t 400 cases for review thus far. Be
fore the term expires it will have
passed on more than a thousand
cases IN all probability.
The court, after an hours session
today devoted to admitting LAWYERS
and receiving the cases filed during
the summer, will adjourn and for
mally call on President Hoover to
advise him it is ready to do business.

GO TO BUY A PAIR OF SHOES, you examine the leather, the way

you want ripe fruit, fruit that has matured before being taken

Why not apply the same test in purchasing your cigarettes?
You want cigarettes made from tobaccos handled right blythe

Sketches From the Clouds

A new invention takes picture
from an airplane and sends an eX-
act facsimile by radio to a distant
ground port In the space Of a few
minutes. During recent maneuvers
at San Francisco, this new device
was taken up in plane. The pi-
lot promptly spotted two subma-
rines beneath the surface toward
the harbor entrance. He made a
sketch of the entire terrain, includ-
ing the "subs" beneath the surface
and flashed his own drawing and
written instructions to an army base
so miles away at Sacramento.
The entire operation may be done
in five minutes. The apparatus con-
sists of sending device on the
ground, and the matter Of static,
which so greatly interferes with ra-
dio reception, has no effect on this
process. Accordingly, it is much
more reliable than the usual radio
communication.

Phrases Ascribed to
Great Men All Wrong

The Detroit News is responsible
for this "debunking" of some great
men of the past:
Washington did not make use Of
the phrase "entangling alliances" In
any Of his speeches. In his farewell
address he stated: 1T is our true
policy to steer clear Of permanent
alliances with any portion of the
foreign world" 1t was Thomas JEFF
ferson who in his inaugural address
spoke of "peace. commerce and hon.
est friendship with all nations, en-
tangling alliances with nome" The
saying about 'fooling the people" is
commonly attributed to Lincoln. but
Is not mentioned in his biographies;
it was probably a common proverb
long before Lincoln ever used it, If
he did so. Herbert Hoover never
used the expression mobile expert
ment" with regard to prohibition. In
a letter to Senator Borab long be-
for the Presidential campaign, Mr..
Hoover stated: "Our country has
deliberately undertaken a great So
cial and economic experiment, no.
BILE in motive and far-reaching in pur-
pose" Woodrow Wilson never said

In speech to newly naturalized
citizens in Philadelphia, he said:
"Peace is the leading and elevating
influence of the world and strife is
not. There is such thing as a
man being too proud to fight. There
is such thing as nation being
so right that it does not need to con-
vince others by force that it Is

Kings Plan Fails
Since Saturdays crisis the King
had been trying to avoid accept
ance of the Guerra formula. His
own idea was to form monarch
ical coalition government, which
would have convoked Parliament.
The Parliament would then have
decided whether or not to call
together a constitutional assembly
to revise the 1875 Spanish consti-
ton or draft q new one.
These efforts failed and the
King finally called Guerra, who,
a year ago, proclaimed that he
would never again serve the King.
Today he said:
"The King described the
cOuntry'S difficult situation and
I therefore accepted his COM
mission to try to form q gov
ernment."

clouded in uncertainty, Queen
Victoria was en- route back here

mother, Princess Beatrice.
