HEARINGS END
ON COURT AS
2AIR VIEWS
BY WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

international News Service
Jacob Gould Shurman, educator
and diplomat, today opposed
President Roosevelt's Supreme
Court plan as a menace" to free
government and a precedent for
dictatorship" in America.
Schurman, former ambassador
to China and Germany, warned
that enactment of the plan would
destroy the independence, dig
nifty and worldwide fame" of the
Supreme Court. He urged the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee to re-
ject it as "contravening the spirit
of the Constitution"
He was to be followed by j.
Francis Smith, Democratic State
chairman of Connecticut. Their
testimony will end the public
hearings. Chairman AShurSt (DO,
of Arizona, announced the COM
mittee would begin secret deliber-
ationS on the Presidents plan
Tuesday.
Peady for Action
Administration leaders were
ready to authorize immediate
consideration of the bill in the
Senate. This indicated debate
would be started the first week
in May.
Rechecking Of an earlier Inter.
national News Service poll indi-
Gated the committee was still
lined up against any material
change in the Presidents plan.
This was due chiefly to the atti-
tude of opposition Senators, who
planned to vote in the committee
against any material modification
in the belief they ultimately
could defeat in the Senate the
proposals for six new Istices.
Some committee members were
urging compromise. Several have
been proposed by Senators Nc
Carran of Nevada, McGill Of Kan
sas, and Hatch of New Mexico,
all Democrats, but without gain
ing support from either side.
"COntravenes Spirit"
Schurman, m a n W lille, first
pointed out that the Administra-
ton claimed the court plan was
constitutional, but he declared:
at certainly cOntravenes the
spirit Of the Constitution and
the fundamental principles ON
which it rests"
Schurman said the President, II
given power to name six new jus
tees now, also might appoint five
more if those over 70 retired be-
fore the end Of his term. This,
he said, would give the President
the right to name the personnel
of the Supreme Court for many
years to come, since he apparently
would name only young men.
Warns Of Relationships
Warning of the trend toward die
tatorShipS throughout the world,
Schurman continued:
eff this proposed court Iegis-
latiOn is adopted it will be a
precedent for future times. A
precedent once established has
almost infinite policy for the
future. That is why political
philosophers and historians,
from the time of Aristotle
through all the centuries to Nc
Cauley, have so earnestly warned
States against the liberation of
even insignificant departures
from their constitutions.
wv h at President Roosevelt
does today with the sincere in
tentiOn Of bringing good things
to the American people, may
lead in the future to the adOp-
tiOn Of measures for the eStab-
lishment of a dictatorship in the
United States"
