Disapproves Richberg's
Speech on Supreme Court

To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Star of October 13 appears an
article headed Forum Discusses Su-
preme Court" It reports the Legal Fo-
rum session Of the Georgetown Law
School Alumni Club. It states that
Donald r. Richberg flashed at the Su-
preme Court" In the Roman Senate
many years back the remark was made.
old men for judgment, young men to
fight"
1t is actually mentally painful to read
the remarks of Mr.. Richberg concern
ing the Supreme Court. It is stated
there were 400 assembled attorneys pres
ent and not one of them had the nerve
to get on his feet and tell him to shut
up Richberg is New Dealer, and his
remarks no doubt were in keeping with
the many ridiculous theories of these
misguided people.
There Is SO much nonsense in the re-
marks of Richberg that space will not
permit full discussion, but 1 will quote
one item. Richberg termed the Supreme
Court "a super legislature that is
thwarting the will of the people," and
called upon the bar ito help create such
power Of public opinion as will make
the tribunal correct it's errors
The will of what people? He must
refer to the last Congress, which left the
entire matter in care of the President.
Enough-the best and most reliable peo-
pie in this big country-have the most
profound respect for the nine highly edu-
Gated gentlemen who compose the court,

matters considered. r. LAPPIN.

upon the national horizon. Properly
conducted, the plan would bring into the
arena q multitude of one-man political
organizations. Indeed, 1t should give
everybody chance to campaign for jobs.
Mr.. Lonergan surely is correct in be-
lieving that privately raised funds"
would be abolished by his expedient. Like
wise, his committee could be scrapped.
Under a policy of Federal endowment OF
political ambition there would be only
a single scandal-namely. the device it
self. Thus a new code Of civic ethics
could be developed. free Of any peril save
that of anarchy. Every citizen would
toss his hat into the ring, and the ensu-
ing scrimmage would approximate what
the language Of pugilism considers a
battle royal"-the winner undoubtedly
would be champion.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Lonergan deserves a
platinum plated leather medal for his
genius as q jokester. The present cam
paign has been serious In character, and
the whole electorate should be thankful
that the Connecticut solon has given 1t
something to laugh at.

impending talk into hometown micro

fense of the administration against
charges of radicalism, is expected to be
a two-flsted performance.

If inhabitants of Mars or other planets
are dialing in on the U. S. A. these
loquacious, days and nights, they can
be pardoned for thinking that the coun-
try deserves its title of the land of the
almighty dollar, and that what mostly
talks down here is money. Nearly every
speech delivered either by President
Roosevelt or Gov. Landon, as we'll as
by their respective supporters, reeks with
the coin of the realm-how many mil
lions or billions have been saved or spent
by the Government, how much richer
agriculture or business is than it was
in 1888, what the deficit and national
debt look like, etc, etc, ad libitum and
ad infinitum. The tall figures roll from
the lips of special pleaders in. an end
less stream that leaves the average lis
tener bored, staggered or confused
sometimes all three. It's amazing that
dollars and cents have almost completely
submerged major propositions like the
sanctity of the Constitution and the
preservation of our system of govern
ment. But the wave lengths bear pretty
Sordid witness that politicians think
Americans are interested mainly, if not
exclusively, in what affects the pocket
book nerve.
Democratic statiSticians are shooting
analytical holes through the Literary
Digest poll, which continues to give
Landon large lead, showing him ahead
in 80 States, as compared to Roosevelt S
predominance in only Is, with nearly
1000 900 votes recorded. In 1882, when
the Digest's weekly reports continually
foreshadowed a Roosevelt landslide,
Democrats pointed with pride to the
magazines record for almost unerring
poll accuracy, soon to be demonstrated
afresh by the dimensions of Hoovers de-
feat. Republicans think New Dealers
cut a rather inconsistent figure in sud-
denly discovering that Digest figures are
all wet because this time they indicate
Republican victory.

John Cudahy, American Ambassador
to Poland, who is one of the foreign
service officers drafted for campaign
duty, has evidently been assigned the
job of appealing for President Roose-
velt's reelection on the ground that his
presence in the White House during the
next four years is necessary to keep the
United States out of war. Mir. Cudahy
is broadcasting that "all Europe is pre-
pairing for war and that this is no time
for q change of administration. as only
a miracle can avert a general conflict
between now and 1940."

Shorten School Hours for
Pupils Outdoor Activities
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial of recent date relative
to the proposed changes in school hours
to reduce traffic hazards develops the
opinion that while an opening hour of
$50 am. is satisfactory, q closing hour
Of $3.50 pm. will not only deprive the
children Of an additional half hour of
sunshine but will interfere with the
schools athletic schedule and will also
conflict with the beginning heavy home
ward-bound automobile traffic.
The average number of sunshine hours,
computed by the Weather Bureau, over
period of ~ years, is 6.46 per day. If
schools were opened at $50 am. and
closed at p.m available sunshine hours
would be conserved for outdor play, the
athletic schedules would not be inter-
fered with and the heavy automobile
traffic would be avoided.
The school authorities could, by re-
ducing each school period few minutes,
accomplish the desired result of smooth
schedule and q maximum of safety and
sunshine for the pupils.

Now Too Hard to Amend
The i. S. Constitution

To the Editor Of The Star:
President Roosevelt and Gov. Landon
both say we need some amendments to
the Constitution, and both are right.
Bishop Mcconnell has said that it is un-
reasonable to pretend that amending the
Constitution is sacrilegious, and he, too,
Is right; such a feeling is absurd. The
Constitution was meant to be amended; !;
that intention was written into the Con-
stitution when 1t was first made.
Yet We can hardly make amendments
even when we need them. 1t is too ex-
cessively hard to make them. It should
not be so hard. Two-thirds OF the Sena-
tors and two-thirds Of the Representa- =
tives have to agree before the States can
even be officially informed that they
should look into the matter Yet the
States are the finally responsible au-
thoritieS.
1t should be that one-fifth of the in
dividual Senators and Representatives
could send a proposal to the States. and
the States could then act on it. Then.
again, any one State should be able to
propose an amendment for the other
States to ratify if they should choose.
They would not have to ratify: but If 36
States should wish to ratify, they ought
not to be restrained from it for lack of
permission from Congress.
This policy might be tried out by hav-
ing good large minority of Congress
propose an amendment and send 1t to
the States without waiting for the ap-
proval OF two-thirds of the members.
II the move were popular, and So States
should see fit to ratify the proposal in
advance, then Congress would not have
the gall to refuse the necessary formality
OF giving it legal form. wish Congress-
men would try this out.

A Small Claims Court.

Judge Nathan Cayton's proposal for
establishment of Small Claims Court
in Washington is another step toward
simplifying the administration of justice
by eliminating some of the legal techni-
advantage of needy litigants.
This problem has long occupied the
attention of leading lawyers and judges,
and in recent years substantial progress
has been made. Virtually all Of the out
worn absurdities Of common law pleading
have been abolished by rule of court, and
the rapid development in the field Of
equity Jurisprudence has served to place
litigation on q common sense basis un-
dreamed Of In the past.
Despite these advances, however, many

Comic Relief.

The Nation owes debt Of gratitude to
Senator Augustine Lonergan Of Con-
necticut. His committee for investi-
eating campaign skullduggery has not
accepted william Hards invitation to
check up on Harry Hopkins w. P. A.
Vaccinations in Pennsylvania; it has
not looked into the methods employed
by w. Forbes Morgan to persuade Gov
ernment employees to contribute to the
New Deal war chest; 1t has not inquired
about the processes which resulted in
the selling out of the regular Demo-
cratic candidates in Minnesota and
Nebraska; and it has not reviewed the
arrangements made with advertisers in
New Deal propaganda publications like
the Philadelphia convention volume
marketed at a hundred dollars copy.
But the chairman himself has been
busy. And the fruit of his labors is the
announcement that in the future "all
costs of elections, including campaign
expenditures, should be met by Federal,
State and local governments.
For comic relief, it would be dificult
to surpass such sentiment Were the
idea adopted, Mr.. Lonergan explains,
"all citizens would have an equal oppor-
tunity to run for office" The taxpayers
at large, of course, would foot the bills,
and the money, so wrung from the peo-
pie, would be divided evenly between
all candidates regardless of party" The
Communists, the Socialists, even the
Prohibitionists, it is reasonable to sup
pose, should be delighted with the ar
rangement. Also, the scheme should
appeal to the untrammeled imagination
of that vast army of independent aspir-
ants for power who perennially appear

1t was pleasant to hear again from "the
hardy old gentleman who took that long
walk"
So he signed himself, and we recalled
instantly his account, as carried here a
year or so ago; perhaps 1t would be well
to bring 1t to mind Of others, since the
cold season is again at hand.
This hardy old GENT ,man, who lived
here for many years, spent part Of his
retirement walking, since he loved the
outdoors and the exercise was good for
him.
One day, q cold, windy day. he put in
his usual five miles on the hoof.
He walked swiftly and got his blood to
racing He was warm at the finish, in q
real glow.
He sat for time in a chill hall,
listening to a speech or something.
That was where he made his big
mistake.
The next day he came down with the
grippe, which kept him in bed for a
fortnight.
He knew better, of course.
We all know better.
To get ones self warm, then cool of
in a wind or cold place, letting Nature
dry the skim
That will never do. Even an athlete
cannot stand that.
To be in wind, dry. is one thing.
When there is visible perspiration, or
even the so-called invisible sort, on the
skin, after long walk, it is taking ones
life fairly in ones hands to sit still in
the cold or wind.
Every one knows this, but how many
OF us make sure we live up to our
knowledge?
We heard the other day of two gentle
men who walked hastily the other eve
ming to lecture.
When they got there, after a vigorous
IS minutes on the way, they had to stand
up in draft.
Both knew the possible consequences
Of cooling of under such circumstances,
but affairs were such that they had to
stay where they were.
For either one to have said to the
other, Il am wet with perspiration. I
simply cannot cool of here in this slight
wind" would have been to write himself
down a mollycoddle to the other.
Both stayed. and both went to bed
within few days with violent cold.
You often hear the relationship OF
drafts to the common cold pooh -poohed
loudly. There is no magical evil in it, of
course; the real evil simply arrives when
the draft happens to alight on a damp
skin.
This chilling of the surface is the first
step in the chain Of bad symptoms we call
the common cold.
If man were as hardy as once upon a
time. he would not need to bother much
about anything, but since mostly he no
longer eats Impressed foods and lives
in homes heated too well. he devitalizes
both his inner and outer mechanisms
OF defense.
How few men today. even athletic
fellows. could do what Leo Tolstoy did,

students Of our judicial system believe
there is still room for improving the lot
Of the poor man who has q small claim
but no funds to engage q lawyer. The
fundamental purpose Of the Small Claims
Court is to provide tribunal where he
and his adversary can get together in an
informal atmosphere and state their
problem after the manner of two neigh
boFs engaged in q friendly discussion.
Relieved on the necessity of following
technical procedure. the judge then can
determine the merits OF their respective
claims end effect just and speedy settle
ment.
Under Judge Cayton's proposal. the
Small Claims Court would be set up as
branch of the Municipal Court. Only
contract cases involving $50 or less would
be heard and safeguards would be erected
against any attempt to use the court as
q collection agency. Such a set-up he
contends, would add virtually nothing to
the cost of administering the Municipal
Court and would leaye the judges sitting
in other branches free to hear more i'm
portant cases.
The idea of the Small Claims Court
has proved successful in other cities.
The first such court was established in
1918 in Cleveland, Ohio, and others are
now functioning successfully in about
one-third of the States.
The proposal has aroused much in
terest here and has been approved by
the Municipal Court Committee of the
District Bar Association. At later date
the plan will be submitted to the five
judges Of the Municipal Court, who have
authority to ratify it by majority vote.

PLAYING With Fire.

1t may happily be regarded as almost
q foregone conclusion that Great Britain
and France will refuse to entertain the
subtle Soviet scheme for preventing for
eign aid to the Spanish rebels. To that
end, the Russians have demanded that
the International Non-intervention Com
mittee at London institute munitions
blockade of Portugal by the British
or French navy, or both. Lord Plymouth,
acting chairman Of the committee, fatly
turned down the Soviet request for an
immediate session of that body to con-
slider the suggestion, pointing out that
there has not yet been time to hear
from the Portuguese government regard
; ing earlier Russian charges Of neutrality
violations by Portugal, Italy and Ger
many. Lord Plymouth also emphasized
that Russia has furnished no additional
evidence to substantiate her accusations.
While Moscqw's proposal remains
finally to be rejected, there is not the
most fragmentary likelihood that the
British and French governments will
accept an invitation to apply the match
to the European powder barrel Ex-
actly such a result would be the inevita-
BILE effect of the projected naval action.
It would instantly be regarded in both
Rome and Berlin as anti-Italian and
anti-German in purpose and undoubt-
edly provoke counter measures. Though
It may be couched in the cushioned
language OF diplomacy, Moscow there
fore courts an eventual reply from Lon
don and Paris best expressible in the
graphic Yankee idiom of nothing do
ing" To give any semblance OF heed
to the blockade idea would automatically
delocalize the Spanish conflict by wan
tonly scrapping the program whereby
Europe thus far, even If precariously,
has succeeded in confning the ferocious
struggle to the Madrid government and
its Fascist foes.
Red diplomacy during the past three
years has achieved some notable tri-
umphs. The Soviet Union secured COW
eted recognition by the United States.
1t gained entry into the League of Ma
tions. Only recently the Russians took
the lead in organizing the resistance Of
the smaller nations at Geneva against
action which would have placed the seal
OF League approval on Italys conquest
of Ethiopia. But Litvinoff's latest bid
for laurels is too perilously ambitious.
The U. s. s. RS burning desire for VIC
tory OF the Madrid radical forces Is COM
prehensible and as justifiable as the
French governments sympathy for the
Leftist regime. But the issue now being
fought to bloody finish being what it
fundamentally is, the Moscow commits
sars must have lamentably lopsided
concept Of Anglo French sense of inter-
national responsibility if they believe the
two western democracies can be per-
suaded or bullied into pulling any Com
munist chestnuts out of the Spanish fire.
The slightest move in that direction
would be an objectionable disservice to
world peace. 1t is inconceivable that
statesmen in London and Paris will give
st moment of affirmative thought.
