The reference to a possible attempt
at murder or cowardly assassina-

The propaganda ministry said the
phrase was merely an impulsive out

it had any special significance.

William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor. today
appeared before the Senate Judiciary
Committee, strongly urging the in
fusion of new blood" into the Supreme
Court, as recommended by President
Roosevelt.
Green expressed for himself and for
the federation the greatest reverence
for the Supreme Court. He added:
But the American Federation of
Labor feels that the greatest security
for the preservation of our democratic
form of Government lies in the willing
acceptance by all as the law of the
land of the decisions by the majority
OF the court composed as contemplated
by the Presidents program"
The labor leader contended that 'an
enlightened judiciary at this time" can
be obtained only by the appointment
to the bench Of men who have been
in close touch with the industrial and
modern life of the day.
Wants Constant Remaking"
Labor is quite willing" he said
''to take its chances with the Supreme
| Court in its determination Of Consti.
tutional questions which vitality affect
the lives and happiness of the workers
if the court is constantly remade and
reconstructed with men who come
from close association with their fel-
low men as recommended by the
President"
Green insisted, however, that the
A. F. of L. would be strongly opposed
| to the appointment of any justice
whose basis for appointment is a
pre-determination on his part on any
specific program"
He said he did not believe President
Roosevelt desires to make any such
appointments or that the Senate
would ever confirm such appointments
if made.
For the first slime since the court
hearings opened last week committee
, members were late in arriving. Green
sat alone before the empty committee
| table for nearly 10 minutes before the
! Senators filed to their seats.
Audience Small Then.
Only 10 Of the 18 committee mem
bers were present when the labor
leader finally began to read his state
ment.
Many of the press seats also were
| unoccupied, and the audience did not
quite fill the velvet-hung hall.
Chairman Ashurst, showing signs
| OF irritation when photographers
touched off a prolonged barrage of
| flash-bulbs, ordered guards to assist
in removing cameras and tripods" be-
fore the session opened.
Unlike earlier witnesses, Green
pushed aside his red leather chair
and stood up to deliver his testimony.
He reao from penciled notes in a
locse-leaf handbook, speaking in roll
ing. oratorical sentences.

clear that the federation is supporting
