der of the Governor, which ordered
the season closed on December 81
The winter fishing season in fish

ed from the rule followed in prev.
ious years winters when some lakes
were closed to spearing with ang.
ling permitted, and some were clos.
ed to angling with spearing permit
ted.
These orders were given for the
protection Of female fish, which
during the winter carry their spawn
and therefore are more active thar
male fish. Licenses for spearing are
issued for the calendar year, hence
the order of the Governor to close
lakes on December 31st, at the ex
plration Of all licenses.
Sank Lake and Long Lake are
the only lakes in the immediate vic.
Unity of Sank Centre which have
been closed to winter fishing under

Frigid weather handicapped plow

temporarily cut off by sleet and ice
approached normal.

JUDGE PROPOSES
HIGH COURT CURBS
New York Justice Declares
Congress Should Be
Supreme.
Bs the Associated Press.


PATERSON, N. j., January 9-Three
amendments to limit the United States
Supreme Courts power over the
Constitution were proposed tonight by
Justice William Harman Black of the
New York Supreme Court.
II believe that setting aside acts OF
Congress gives too much power to the
Supreme Court" Justice Black said
in an address for delivery before the
Passaic County Bar Association. The
exercise of this power unstabilizes
business and keeps it in a state OF
dangerous uncertainty"
Offers Three Amendments.
The jurist proposed the following
amendments:
l. That the Supreme Court shall
have no power to declare any amend
ment unconstitutional after it is legally
proposed and lawfully adopted. as
Article v Of the Constitution itself
provides.
2. That the Supreme Court shall in
no event, by construction or otherwise,
set aside or repeal any original section
or article Of the Constitution itself.
3. That the Supreme Court shall
have no power to set aside an act of
Congress as unconstitutional.
Commenting on the latter proposal
he said, no other great country has
any provision authorizing its highest
court to set aside acts of its Congress
or Parliament, or the highest law
making power"
Criticizes Close Decisions,
Since the Supreme Court exercises
its power "in nearly evenly divided
court" Justice Black said, this gives
one member Of the court far more
power than the executive department
has. This member of the court who
casts the deciding vote thus becomes
an unelected sovereign stronger than
any dictator"
The justice also suggested as a Dos
sible remedy provision whereby every
general law proposed for Congress
would be considered first by the
Supreme Court to see if It would be
constitutional.
He recommended. too, appliance of
the same rule to laws after they are
passed, but before they become effec-
tive
Black also urged regional repre-
sentation on the Supreme Court, re-
marking the court from a geographic
cal point of view now is 'lopsided and
entirely out of balance"

AL insisted action to counter the
ppwer being exercised by the courts
was imperative.
IT am as sure as am that the sun
3 shining that We have the power
under the Constitution to limit the
Jurisdiction of the courts" Senator
Norris said.
5He urged also a limitation on the
Judges tenure of Office. saying:
$ 1T is obvious that judges living in
On atmosphere of luxury cannot be
given a conception Of what's in the
heart Of poor man. The judge is
sill not divinity. The natural course
Tor him is to seize all the power
POSSIBLE.
I'm theory, it's beautiful thing
Tor a Judge to be elevated above all
ordinary personal problems, but in
reality it's a dangerous thing"
4 Norris favored depriving the lower
purts Of their jurisdiction over con-
stitutional questions.
John L. Lewis spoke in similar view.
Our judiciary is falling into disre-
pute and disrespect because there is a
conviction in the average man that
the Supreme Court Is settling these
problems on a basis Of their back
grounds, their environment, and are
reaching for the law books to find
Frecedents to justify their attitude" !"
De said.
= No doubt the average citizen Of
this country stands on the right Of
Congress to legislate so as to dispose
0f the major problems Of the Nation
and so as to contribute to the per-
betuation of its institutions.
= Congress can hardly act now with
cut having before it the thought that
before long it will be put on trial be-
lore the bench to show cause why its
Gets should not be nullifed.
-
= "The people I represent ask for a
constitutional amendment to remedy
the situation, if that is the procedure
n not, surely there must be some
method whereby Congress can dis
charge its normal rights and duties"
= Representative Lewis. like John L.
1ewis, of Welsh ancestry and a for
iner mine worker, suggested that Con-
eess Immediately pass again all acts
eyerthrown by the court.
It Is a question of the life or death
