SENATE GROUP
HEARS VIEWS
OF EDGERTON
Appointee to Court Is
Quizzed on Theories
BY THEODORE HUNTLEY


For the first time since the
Supreme Courts powers were
brought into question in the his
toric Senate fight Of last summer
over President Roosevelt's court
reorganization proposals, a Presi-
Dental nominee for a high judicial
position was questioned by mem.
bers of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee today as to his views on
the fundamental issues of that,
contest. He was examined in open
session.
Prof. Henry White Edgerton, Of
New York, Cornell University law
faculty member, was summoned
by the committee when named by
the President for the United States
Court of Appeals for the District
Of Columbia. He was among the
most fervent of the Presidents
supporters in the Supreme Court
fight.
STATEMENT PROBED
A statement which he prepared
attacking the attitude Of the court
on several important groups Of
cases involving Negroes. civil
rights, the income tax, the work.
mems compensation law, and labor
legislation generally was one Of
seven submitted by proponents Of
the Presidents reorganization pro
posal for inclusion in the record
of Senate hearings on the subject.
Senators saw a close relation
ship between the court issues and
the nominees attitude, since the
District Court of Appeals is the
court of original Jurisdiction in
numerous cases involving the
powers of the Federal Government
and decisions of Federal agencies.
Senators Burke of Nebraska and
Van Nuys of Indiana. Democrats,
and Borah of Idaho, Republican,
made up the judiciary subcommit-
tee which questioned him.
MAKES POSITION CLEAR
AS in the article itself, the nomi.
nee for the District bench made
it clear to the committee that he
did not question the power Of the
Supreme Court to declare acts OF
Congress unconstitutional, but
only the results of its exercise.
Senator Burke, chairman Of the
subcommittee, held to the view
that he also thought - judging
from the article appearing under
his signature-that the court had
"usurped" this new power from the
time of John Marshall onward.
This theory, on which lawyers
have disagreed for many years, is
at variance with a view held by
another school that the trainers Of
the Constitution intended that the
court, should possess and exer-
else the right Of review over acts
of Congress.
