LOYALTY PLEA
OF FARLEY ON
COURT ISSUE

AUSTIN, Tex, March "a
U.NS.). - Pos tmaster General
James A. Farley told the legisla
ture today that if Congress would
vote tomorrow on the President {
plan to enlarge the Supreme Cour'
he was "quite sure" it would pass
AS an analogy he told the leg
islators that if their governor
james v. Alfred, were trying to
promote a program for the good
of the entire State, he could not
help but feel that party loyalty
would compel them to go along
with the governor.
He continued:
"T want to assure you that in
suggesting this comparison, I
am not aspersing the motives or
the sincerity Of any Of the mem
bers Of our party in Congress in
opposing the Presidents court
plan. But where it Is merely a
matter of method to arrive at a
result, that all of those gentle
men have pronounced desirable
In the past, I think they are
making a grave error, and are
lending aid and comfort to the
enemy by their present course.
Describing the nations strides
toward prosperity since Mr.. Roose-
velt took office. he said:
"What brought about the
change, except the plan and
program which President ROOse-
velt began. -? Those things
have happened because the do
nothing policy of his prede-
cessOrs was succeeded by the
+ do-sOmething-atonce policy Of
the President"
: The "InflexibIe Five"
He said Mr.. Roosevelt received
a mandate from the people last
November to complete his job of
heading the country toward pros
perity, but found this could not
be done by the barrier of an in.
flexible, reactionary point of view
entertained by five Of the nine
eminent juristS on the high court. "
He added:
TN the past, practically every
time the Supreme Court was
found to be out Of sympathy
with the spirit of the country,
the condition has been rectified
: by changing the number Of the
justices.
"The dice Of destiny have so
fallen that we have a reaction
ary majority with the final say
in the destinies Of progressive
nation. To assume that the
President is seeking to have on
the bench men subservient to
him is to asperSe not only his
integrity and that Of the jus
: tices as he may name, but the
integrity Of the United States
Senate. For it is the Senate
that makes the judges, whom
the President only recon-
mends."

story Of Nero fiddling while Rome

night at Perry, N. Y, when the
firemen that responded to a

selves unable to fight the fire be-
cause no water was available,
spent their time listening to a
phonograph concert until the
house burned up.
The phonograph was one Of the
few articles removed from the
burning home so the firemen en-
joyed "hot" music while standing
by as nothing could be done to
fight the fire.
