RITTER CONTENDS
CUSTER IS ILLEGAL
Judge Answers Attorney
Generals Motion to
Dismiss Suit.
BY fpe Associated Press,

Halstead L. Ritter, ousted Miami
Federal judge, contended before the
Court Of Claims today that his con-
viction by the Senate on impeachment
charges violated the constitutional
guarantee against being placed in
jeopardy twice for the same offense.
In a 96-page answer to Attorney
General Cummings motion to dismiss
proceedings attacking the Senate's
action. the former Judge contended he
was removed from Office on a final
article of impeachment which only
summed up the six counts on which
he already had been acquitted.
Claims Court Suit.
Ritter filed suit in the Claims Court
soon after his conviction last April
on q charge OF bringing his court
Into scandal and disrepute" The
Attorney General. con6ending the court
was without jurisdiction over the Sen
ate, moved to dismiss the proceedings
Again contending he was entitled
to his salary as Federal Judge, Ritter
said the Constitution limited impeach-
ment proceedings to those involving
charges of treason, bribery or other
high crimes and misdemeanors." The
answer said the seventh article in the
| charges against him stated no i'm
peachable offense.
He said the Senate acted upon the
principle that good behavior was so
vague that the tenure of a judge is
left to the pleasure of the Senate"
Called Illegal and Void.
| plaintiff (Ritter) asserts his re-
nova from Office was illegal and void, .
the brief said He has not abandoned
the Office. He is not guilty of laches
He stands ready and able to discharge
the duties of the Office. An act oi
Congress provides for the payment oi
the compensation of such official. The
defendant (the Government) refused
to pay plaintiff. No other remedy /.

He claimed any court whose judg-
ment is relied upon" could inquire into
the proceedings of a court of i'm.
peachment.
"The jurisdiction of q court tc
render judgment may be attacked
in any proceeding in another court,
Ritter contended, "and If it be showr
that the jurisdictional facts do moi

a nullity, notwithstanding the judg.
ment may recite the existence of such

NEW YORK. September 3.-Bishop
Michael J. Gallagher Of Detroit re-
turned from Rome today asserting
that the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin was
free to continue his political activities
and urging the radio priests followers
to continue to rally behind him.
Naturally, the Michigan prelate said,

ton of principles of the church oppos-
ing attacks upon constituted govern
mental authority.
Greeted at Dock.
A hundred or more New York men,
bers of the National Union for Social
Justice, Father Coughlin's organiza-
ton, had gathered at the dock to
greet the bishop and the priest as they
descended the gangplank. A spokes-
man presented the prelate with a
bunch Of roses and in the hubbub OF
the pier the bishop addressed them.
He praised Father Coughlin for q
courageous leader" using his every
power to oppose the forces which
threaten tosenguf this Nation in COM
munism," and interpreting the en-.
cyclicals of the Popes dealing with
social questions.
1T is the voice Of God speaking
through the Holy Father and reaching
you through the orator of Royal Oak,
he said.
II hope you never lose courage ano
continue to rally behind him until
victory rests on the banners of the
National Union for Social Justice.
Earlier, while the Rex was steamine
up the harbor from Quarantine, Bish.
op Gallagher sat in a corner Of the
main salon, Father Coughlin stand
ing beside him, and answered ques.
tions Of reporters. He was asked about
an editorial appearing in yesterdays
issue of Osservatore Romano, authori-
tative Vatican organ, criticizing Father
Coughlin for calling President Roose-
welt liar"
No Criticism in Rome.
"Why do they attach so much i'm
portance to this story?" he asked
lone version I read this morning
admits that the editorial was neither
official nor semi official. There was
no criticism of Father Coughlin in
Rome. Before I left corrected him
for calling President Roosevelt a liar
and he apologized, and that's all there
was to it.
IF any one asks If the Vatican ap-
proved of Father Coughlin's calling
the President a liar, the answer nat.
urally would be no. Father Cough.
Inns speeches were never discussed
unless I brought up the subject, anc
I never discussed Father Coughlir
with any of the heads Of the council
Because this is a presidential year
a great deal of importance has beer
attached to nothing. Any one car
say the Holy See does not approve
Of anybody calling the President
liar, whether he deserves it or not
That is self-evident and can be
found in any book on ecclesiastical
etiquette.
THE holy father did not mention
Father Coughlin. As long as the
Vatican does not find fault we as
sumo everything is hunk-dory. There
will be nothing done to restrain Father
Coughlin's activities"

Chorus Gives
Concert Here
Westminster Group Sings
New Harris Work.

Credibly described by John Fin
ley Williamson as probably the
most difficult choral composition
ever written" Roy Harris new
work, "a Song for Occupations"
proved to be the most diverting item
on Saturdays concert by the West
minister Chorus, under Mr.. William
sons direction, in Caleb Mills Hall.
Walt Whitman's poem, to which
it was set, has much rugged power,
very little lyric quality, and the
music reflected its character. Mr..
Harris has treated the voices orches-
trally, often harshly, and the result
is novel and interesting.
Too much of the work seems to be
taken up with staccato listing of
various industries, barked out by the
choir, but there are many striking
harmonic effects, and some moments
of a more generally accepted type
of beauty.
Unfortunately, choral technique
suited to "A Song for Occupations,
proved disastrous for Bach and the
rest of the concert 1t is amazing
that as widely heralded conductor
as Mr.. Williamson can attain such
consistently bad results from talent
ed material. The singing through
out, except for Di Lassos THE
Echo" was unvocal, unWusical and
unnatural.
We have heard many choirs from
"freshwater1'' colleges essay the Bach
motel, Sing Ye to the Lord which
opened the concert, but sorry as
were some of the attempts, they
never reached the low of this per-
| Torrance.
The logic of the music's construc-
ton was totally absent. There was
no warmth of tone or Elasticity of
phrase. The singers were physically
tense, their voices tight, their
rhythm bad, and every tone was ex-
ploded rather than sung. The effect
was one of meaningless shouting.
Shouting Continued
This continued from the first
number. The effective simplicity of
such songs as "Old Man River" and
the Negro spiritual, Go Down
Moses" were subjected to an anna
flourish -senseless hcrry-
ing of one phrase followed by SEN
timental dawdling over the next
usually associated with barber
shop ensembles.
Solos disclosed natively beautiful
voices, but inexpertly trained. The
entire responsibility of a most dis
appointing concert must rest upon
director, who has carried Amer
ica's musical banner to Europe on
two occasions, and who for many
years has been one of our most pub
licized trainers of choirmasters.
Past accomplishments only make
the local fiasco more complete. It
was the acme of bad musicianship.
