eral homes tkat tottered on founda-
tions after the storm.
Ironically, the windstorm's full vio-
lence struck that part of the city
which had escaped the worst food on
record here. In some inundated sec

Tackling President Roosevelt's ju-
dietary reorganization plan in piece
meal style, the House Judiciary Com
mittee today ordered reported a bill
permitting the Attorney General to
intervene in cases between private
parties, where constitutional questions
are involved.
Before ordering the bill reported,
the committee added an amendment
designed to expedite such a case to
the Supreme Court if the law be held
unconstitutional in the lower courts
This measure covers two of the Presi-
dents recommendations, embodied in
his general reorganization bill. al
though the bill reported today was
prepared before the President an
nounced his program.
The committee already has re-
ported favorably a bill for the retire
ment OF justices of the Supreme Court
on terms Similar to those now applied
In the case of other Federal judges.
Action Tomorrow Seen.
This bill is on the House calendar
and Chairman Summers of the House
Judiciary Committee said he believed
the measure would be called I'D for
action in the House tomorrow.
A final decision whether to call up
the bill would be reached this after
noon. he said.
Tomorrow Is calendar day in the
House, and the Judiciary Committee

calendar permits the voluntary retire.
ment of justices of the Supreme Court
at 70 years of age on full pay, after 10
years of service.
II the bill comes up in the House
tomorrow, there is the possibility that
some one might offer as an amend
ment the Presidents plan to'authorize
the appointment of additional justices
of the Supreme Court when a justice
who has reached the age of 70 years
and six months has failed to retire.

question of increasing the member
ship OF the Supreme Court would be

Course Is Doubted.
1t is not believed, however, that the
House Judiciary Committee is anxious
to bring that about without ample
consideration of the Presidents pro-
poSal in committee.
The Presidents message transmitting
his judiciary organization plan to
Congress was read in the House COM
mittee meeting this morning. No ac-
ton was taken on the Presidents bill,
however, and Chairman Summers said
there was no discussion of procedure
regarding the bill. Presumably that
will come up at the Thursday meeting.
No decision has been made in regard
to hearings on the Presidents bill,
either on members of the Supreme
Court or others.
While the House Committee was at
work, Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader, advocated ex-
tending the retirement age for Su-
preme Court justices under the Presi-
dents plan from 10 years and 6
months to rs years.
The Arkansas Senator said he was
speaking for himself alone and must
not be considered as speaking for the
President. Robinson's suggested
amendment to the plan is the first to

ROOSEVELT NAMES.
FIVE FOR STUDY OF.
j. S. SPACE NEEDS
Proposes Five and Ten Year
Building Programs
in D. c.
ADEQUATE STRUCTURES
FOR GOVERNMENT AIM
1ckes, Thomas, Collines, Peoples
and Delano Are Designated
to Make Inquiry.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG,

In line with his previously announced
ideas regarding establishment of a
S and 10 year building program in the
District of Columbia, President Roose-
velt today named a committee of five
to study the space needs of Govern
ment departments and agencies
With departments and agencies of
the Federal Government constantly
growing. the President is aiming to
formulate program which will do
away with the hit-and-miss way of
housing Federal activities in rented
quarters throughout the city. He is
anxious to reduce rented office space
and house the activities in adequate,
permanent structures.
Committee Appointments.
Those appointed to the committee
TO make the space study are Secretary
Ickes, Senator Thomas of Oklahoma,
Representative Collins of Mississippi,
Rear Admiral c. j. Peoples, director
of procurement. and Frederic A. Del
ano. chairman of the Park and Plan
ming Commission.
Those who have discussed the mat
ter with the President believe his idea
is not to place merely marble mon
uments in the form of public build
ings, but to construct buildings to
house the Government properly.
What the President has in mind is
clearly shown In his Endorsement of
the idea of building a handsome
large auditorium in the Capital as a
memorial to Thomas Jefferson, rather
than a more pretentious structure, as
originally proposed.
The personal interest Mr. Roosevelt
has taken in selection of a site for
the new War and Navy buildings
north Of Constitution avenue and
east of Twenty-third street also indi-
Gates he has been giving more than
ordinary study to Federal buildings
and housing of Government activi-
ties.
1t is understood also that the PARK
and Planning Commission has been
studying the subject for some time
and will have fairly good foundation
for the newly-appointed committee to
work on.
Letter Sent to Five.
Because Of his familiarity with and
long study Of the building subject.
Mr.. Delano is expected to be the most
active member Of the committee.
The Presidents decision to make
this study was made known today la
a copy of a letter he had sent to the
five men he has selected for this
committee work, and in which he
announced his plan. In this letter
the President said:
Il am appointing an informal COM
mittee to make a study of the space
and needs of the various Government
and agencies in Wash
ington and to report to me at as early
a date as possible on a and 10 year
building program to provide for these
needs"
After naming the members of the
committee the President continued by
way of explanation: 1T is hoped that
the expert and detailed services to be
rendered can be supplied without extra
cost to the Government by the Depart
ment of Interior, the Administration
of Public Works, the Procurement
Division of the Treasury Department
and the National Resources Com
mittee and the Parks and Planning
Commission"

MEXICO CITY. February e.-Fight-

university friends as the Russian exile

Soviet conspiracy trial in Moscow.
Mexican students defied Communist
organizations striving to keep Trotzky

The contents of his two speeches

Mormon Elder Explains
Church Security Plan

Editor Daily IndepenGent:
Because l feel that it is OF sui
ficient interest to merit presenta-
ton to your readers and also be-
cause l feel that your readers are
entitled to know these facts. L
present herewith a brief sketch OF
the Church Security plan OF the
Mormon church. which gained
wide pread interest in recent
months.
April. 1887, marks the conclu-
sion of the first year of the Church
Security plan of the Mormon
church. It was first announced TO
the church assembled at the April
conference. in 1886, at Salt Lake
City. Utah. A permanent security,
earned through work and not OBJ
tanned as charity. was advanced
that month as the ultimate aim IN
the Latter Day Saints church
program for it. needy. The per-
manent program. start Of which
was dramatized a year ago by the
announcement that the church
would take its needy members of
direct government relief, was out
lined by high officials at the lO7th
annual world conference, held
April 4. 5, and 6. at Salt Lake
City.
The primary purpose of the
plan. as first set forth by church
officials. is described in Pre-. ident
Grants message in Oct, 1886,
Our primary purpose in organic
ing the Church Security Program
was to set up a system under
which the curse of idleneS- would
be done away with, the evils of a
dole abolished. and independence,
industry. thrift, and self respect
be once more established among
our people. The aim of the church
is to help people to help them
selves. Work is to be re-enthroned
a the ruling principle of the lives
of our church membership"
Any activity or project which
tends in the direction Of helping
shc People to help themselves" to
q position of security is in har-
mOny with the great objective of
the plan. The Church Security
program is not intended in any
sense to duplicate what the gov
crnment has done or is now do
ing, but the purpose Of it is to
stimulate every member of the
church to do his utmost to be
self supporting.
The permanent program is a
plan in which none shall be per-
mitt2d to starvC but in which the
phrase no person shall get some
thing for nothing" .tands out as
a major objective. Among the
high points in the permanent pro-
gram is a plan for back to-the-
farm" movement through which
the church hopes to rchabilitate
many b. helping them obtain land
and "a STAR. The far-reaChing
enlarged program, singular among
the churches of the nation, calls
for work for Mormon aged and
