DEBATE DRAWS
 DESPITE RAIN
Large Crowd Hears Su- preme Court Topic
 CleverIy Argued

Watertown, March 16--The public debate sponsored by the Civic Union upon the recommendation of the President regarding the Su- preme Court and other courts of the country was very well attended last night in spite of the bad weather. and proved the interest of the coln- munity and the country in this question.
 The affirmative side, upholding the President's recommendation that six new justices be added to the court or substituted for the six justices now past the age of 70, was argued by Professor Wes- ley Sturges of the Yale Law school 1n a clear, convincing and im- personal talk, Mir. Sturges advanced the argument that because of the recent decisions of the present court nullifying acts of Congress, the gov ernment has reached an impasse making 1t impossible for it to cope with the economic and social prob- lems confronting 1t today-problem rcating to industry, labor, and ag- firculture, which were national in scope and could not be handled in- dividually by the governments of the states.
 E. Robert Stevenson, editor of the Republican and American, argued on the negative side that the pre- cedent established by the setting up of packed" court, which the court would become by the addition of six judges, would open the way to dictatorship If not for the Pres!- dent himself, at least for . success sor in the near or distant future. He further argued that there was nc great need for sped in the solving of the problems of the present day, because these problems were always present, and that 1t was "conceit" on the part of the President that made him believe that he could or should solve all these problems dur ing this term of office. He also stated that since the Constitution is the instrument of government of tie people, any changes in the Supreme Court should be made only by con- stitutional amendment.
 In his rebuttal MT. Sturges point cd out that the Preident was not usurping strange powers in his recommendation concerning them In his recommendations concerning the supreme court, he stated, the President was fulfilling his consti- tutional obligation and should be supported by the people.
