News Behind the News
Inside the Court Fight Cummings
Sold the Plan Richberg Helped
Write the Bill

WASHINGTON.-This isn't the entire secret
history of the complete collapse OF the Roose-
velt Supreme Court plan. But it's an essential
part of it.
The inside story begins with Attorney Gen
eral Homer S. Cummings. 1t was he who SOLD
the spectacular plan to Roosevelt and persuaded
Roosevelt it should be kept secret until popped,
lest the sensational story be leaked.
The original draft of the Roosevelt message
to Congress on the plan was written py cum
mings and Donald Ric chberg. Cum
mingS had the bill written by brilliant young
lawyer who has been identified to your corre-
spondent under oath of secrecy.
The Department OF Justice had charge of La
ison work with Congress on the bill, the 100 be-
ing assigned to Assistant Attorney General Joe
keenan,. who had to work with the late Senate
Leader Joe Robinson.
Robinson was dying. For four months ne
was on a buttermilk diet and often In agony.
He wasn't enthusiastic about the Dill, ana was
wounded because ne hadn't been consulted In
Is years he had built up personal organization,
carrying all trades, debts and other data IN
his head Other leaders didn't fight for the
court plan because OF apathy or because Joe
insisted on doing the job himself.
Senators had no one IT, Calk to because Joe
was i'll much Of the time. The opposition
was well-fnanced, backed by great propagan-
da effort and aided by such shrewd old heads
as Borah and Hiram Johnson.
The administration unable to use party funds
Or-ln most caSeS-pdrty machinery, kept up
its end with Roosevelts radio speeches, efforts
of cabinet members and oehind-the- scenes eff
forts, although Judiciary Chairman Ashurst's
all or nothing attitude grated on many nerves.
The sit-down strikes and the wage-hour bill
helped the opposition gain recruits, but the
administration doing fairly well until JUS
tice Van Devander's resignation.
After the courts favorable Wagner act and
Social Security decisions, many advisers urged
Roosevelt to put the court fight off to the end
of the session and hold it Damoclean sword.
They argued he had achieved his chief aim
liberalized decisions.
But the Van Devanter resignation brought
up Robinson's name and demand for his ap
pointment to the court-a longtime ambition
with Joe-from all but the progressives. Roose-
welt implied to Robinson that he couldn't put
him in the court without adding couple Of
liberals at the time Joe and many OF
his friends insisted on action.
And perhaps the high point OF this story is
the fact that about two months ago 1T would
have been easy to pass a compromise bill adding
one more judicial circuit to the nine now exist
ing, making an II justice court, having the
chief justice serve over all, with justice from
each circuit This would have been satisfactory
TO Roosevelt, one is told.

THE LIBRARY DOES
A PUBLIC SERVICE

During the fiscal year ending last June
80, the Ell Centre city library loaned
60,798 books to adults, which is some
thing of a record in a city the size of
ours. Even more important from the
community standpoint, however, is the
figures showing that total of 27,967
books were loaned to juveniles during
the twelvemonth.
No yOungster who devotes a proper
tionately large part of his time to read
ing, and will go to the public library
to find material to read, is very liable
to come to the attention of juvenile au-
thorities. His mental equipment is such
that he usually knows that juvenile de-
linquency is not profitable, and that it
is not nearly as much fun as some other
things on higher plane.
In these figures, showing the large
number of juveniles borrowing books,
the library demonstrates very we'll the
type of service it performs for the COM
munity. Librarians and library board
are to be congratulated for their fine
showing
1t is to be hoped that, eventually, we
can correct the difficulty touched upon
in the librarians brief note that at was
impossible to inaugurate any new SER
vice in our cramped quarters, and we
regret that we could not give the high
school students the usual prompt refer
ence service because we do not have
room for our bound periodicals in our
temporary quarters"

THE STATE
BUILDING AGAIN

Once again Imperial county, faced
with the loss of thing which would be
decided asset to the entire county, has
become a solid unit in seeking its own
improvement. When the Associated
Chambers of Commerce called mayors,
civic leaders and other city and county
officials to a meeting at Brawley this
week to discuss the construction of a
state building at FL Centre, the repre-
sentatives from every section of the
county displayed a heartening unity of
interest
There was none of the pickering and
sectional rivalry that, in the past. has
retarded Imperial Valleys development
The far sighted men at the meeting real
lied that anything which helps one sec
tion of the valley, regardless of whether
1t is Ell Centre, Brawley, CaleXico or
some other, helps the whole valley. They
went on record unanimously endorsing
the plan for construction of state build
ing on the only site the state will con-
slider, that opposite the county court
house in Ell Centre.
With this demonstration of united pub
lie opinion, there should be no doubt
that members of the county board of
supervisors can settle their differences
dHllCdDly anu agree TO 1uFnlSn the site
to the state, as originally planned. Any
supervisor who opposes the move can
not truly say, after Wednesdays meet
ing, that in so doing he is representing
the desires of his district. In fact, op-
position to the building would be in
direct opposition to the wishes of the
people in every part of the valley
1t is a danger to those holding public
office that they are liable to believe now
and then that they know what the public
should have, regardless of what the pub
lie wants. 1t is to be hoped that the
members of the county board of super
visors here do not fall into this way of
thinking. To do so is dangerous to the
public and more dangerous to the public
officials.
Imperial county wants state build
ing. There is only one place the state
will build such a building. Those in a
position to do so should give every bit
of help they can to assure construction
of the building.

Union sympathizers, union un-
sympathizers, and all sorts of folks
who Just aren't interested parti-
cularly in unions, will do well to
cast a glance at Cleveland.
For some time the spraying of
varnish over newly-painted houses
has been almost a daily occurrence.
Investigation showed that most of
these incidents we're traceable to
rivalry between two sets of build
ing trades unions.
Distraught inquiries to the daily
papers from anxious people who
were contemplating little amateur
painting of their own houses
brought out this fact:
That for months the Painters
District council actually had been
issuing permits to citizens allowing
them to paint their own homes with
out interference, provided they could
first show that they couldn't af-
ford to hire painters.
Painters union officials replied
that greed on the part of well-ofi
property owners was causing them
to try to avoid paying union wages
by doing the job themselves. II
was the painters unions job tc
see that such work went to unior
painters, and this it was trying
to do by its permit system.
