Clark Sees Court Plan Akin
To F0rerll1lners of Dictat0rs
Cites Erems Leading to
Rises OF Hitler and
Huey Long.
BY tie Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, March l3.-Sen-
ator Bennett Champ Clark. Democrat,
of Missouri drew a parallel tonight
between the Roosevelt plan for Su-
preme Court reorganization and the
forerunners of the Hitler dictatorship
in Germany and the Huey Long
regime in louisiana
Declaring, in a broadcast speech
before a Kansas City audience, his
personal loyalty to President Roosevelt
and his adherence to the Democratic
party, the senior Missouri Senator
went on:
Who devised the means by which
Hitler attained his present dictator
ship? Hitler? BY no means
The machinery was put into effect
by Chancellor Bruening, who preceded
him as high-minded executive. 1t
was he, not Hitler, who instituted
government by decree and thus en-
slaved the German people and de-
prived them of their rights"
In similar fashion, Clark said, Huey
Long achieved his Louisiana abso-
lutism by use of constitutional
change enacted through the efforts Of
his predecessor. Gov. Parker. In
effect, he said, the Parker action au-
thorized the Louisiana Legislature to
resolve itself into constitutional con-
vention and adopt amendments with
out submission to the people.
Controlled Judiciary.
Nor is it to be disputed the Sena-
tor said. that Huey Longs empire
did not become complete until he had
brought the judicial as we'll as the
legislative and executive branches of
the State under his control.
And then, one of the first things
Long did was to jam through legis-
lation to destroy effectually the free
dom of the press guaranteed by the
Constitution. This incursion against
the Constitution and our liberties was
thwarted by the unanimous decision
of nine old men sitting as the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
And our independent judiciary has
always been the protection of the
liberties of the individual and the
minorities."
Clark invoked caution against any
hasty departure from traditional
checks and balances in the govern
mental structure, protesting particu-
larly against what he called pack
ing the Supreme Court 'for a par
ticular purpose"

Power of Subpoena.

Miss Perkins proposal to Congress
that it pass law giving to the Depart
ment of Labor the power of subpoena
hangs fire. If the matter is pressed, and
the President should get definitely back
of the requested legislation, the chances
are for a real battle on Capitol Hill.
For there are many Democratic members
of Congress, as well as Republican, who
view the granting Of such powers to an
executive department with considerable
misgiving, to say the least. The power
of subpoena has, so far, been reserved
to the courts, to congressional commit
tees and to quasi-judicial agencies Of
the Government, such as the Federal
Trade Commission, the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the Federal
Labor Relations Board. To place such
power in the hands of an executive
officer of the Government would be
tantamount to giving that officer judicial
power.
Presumably, the power asked by Miss
Perkins would be used largely to in
fuence public opinion in an industrial
controversy. # only one side OF the

These are times when the President
Is putting in busy days and nights in
exploratory conversations at the White
House. They represent his favorite sys-
tenn of scrutinizing all angles of situa-
ton and sounding out diverse schools
of thought before reaching conclusions
of his own. Mr. Roosevelt gave an
inkling at his latest press conference OF
just how he operates on these heart-to-
heart occasions. Sometimes the con-
fabulation opens with submission of a
visitors views at the Presidents request.
whereupon Mr.. Roosevelt volunteers his
opinion of them. This may be given in
the form of a counter proposition, with
an invitation to the caller or callers
freely to indicate their attitude toward
it, pro and con. The net result is
pooling of many minds. whereby the
foundation is often laid for ensuing
recommendations in messages to Con-
gress. His intimates assert that the
President is adept and prompt in de-
Gliding upon course, once all SIDES
have had their day in court with him.
Mr. Roosevelt was at pains to make clear
that merely asking member OF Con-
gress or a captain of industry for his
viewpoint doesn't necessarily mean that
the Chief Executive identifies himself
with it. Once in a while a contrary
impression is conveyed, when visitors
emerge from the executive presence and
talk to reporters.
Senator Joe Robinson sat alongside
the President the other day when Mr..
Roosevelt was eXpounding on the sub
ject of conferences with callers. The
Senator Is present." wisecracked F. D. r.,
"as the correspondent of the Arkansaw
Traveller" newsman piped up: That's
a weekly and only dailies are eligible"
The President was equal to that and
rejoined: "Well, Joe Is here today as
the honorary guest of the White House
Correspondents Association" That
closed the incident and the Senate ma
jority leader sat interestedly through
one of the most searching grillings to
which the master of the New Deal has
recently submitted.

ism. Senator Vest of Missouri had
asked for explanation of the removal
of United States Attorney Benton in

attorney had made a Democratic speech.
"and I consider that pernicious activity

the Senate meets that this country ever
