MICHIGAN DEAN
CALLS COURT
PLAN UNWISE
Bates Says It'll Lead
To Destruction Of
Our System
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

AntSFuhthOnt8A MOVIE OSEVlC0
Henry M. Bates, dean of Mich
igan University's law school, today
assailed President RooSevelt's
Court plan as unnecessary, I'M
wise and dangerous"
Appearing before the Senate
Judiciary Committee, Bates
warned adoption Of the plan would
lead inevitably to destruction Of
the American system of Govern
ment and substitution Of q par
liamenrary system, such as has
gone to ruin in parts Of Europe.
Bates was to be followed by
John T. Flynn, New York writer
and economist, who has denounced
the plan. g.
Reaction to Attack
There were repercuSsionS on
Capitol Hill to the attacks on Chief
Justice Charles Evans Hughes by
Senator Minton CD Of Indiana.
and on Associate Justice Owen D.
Roberts by Senator Schwellenbach
3D. of Washington. ~
Minton said the Chief Justice
had played politics" by attack.
ing the Presidents plan in a letter
to the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee. while Schwellenbach declared
Justice Roberts, whose reversed
vote upheld the Washington State
minimum wage law, had more
power than Hitler or MuSSolini. I"
Senator Burke Cd of Nebraska,
foe of the presidential plan, said:
"Their case must be wOefully
weak when they desert the issue
and indulge in personalities"
Bates told the committee he
sympathized with the Presidents
detectives and praised his efforts
to relieve distress and promote
recovery" He warned that the
court plan was a temporary expe-
dent, not certain of success, which
raised grave fears for the future
of America.
"WOuld Impair Prestige"
He continued:
ut would certainly impair the
prestige and the independence
of the judiciary and partially
prevent the accomplishment of
the very sound purpose for
which it was provided. No mat.
ter how wise and disinterested
President Roosevelt might be in
appointing additional members
of the court, this bill, If enacted
into law, sets an example and
offers a means Of future mani
pulatiOn of the bench with the
most serious consequences Of
evil"
Since governments and public
opinion change, Bates pointed out,
the bill would create a device that
could be used time and again in
the future to change the conSti-
tutional processes. He declared:
I'm short, there is grave dam
ger that If once we embark upon
the proposed course we shall
soon substitute for the cOnStitu-
tiOnal, sober and sound method
of amendment in the prescribed
manner, a technique of spurious
Interpretation by a court whose
membership is changed with
the changes in party control Of

There were but few exceptions to the
downward price drift in the corporate
sector. In rails, losses ranged from
fractions to around 2 and volatile

Given as Factors.
BY the Associated Press.

BY Inc Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 18.-Another
step in the trend toward higher money
costs was taken today when rates on
all maturities of bankers acceptances
were raised by from one-sixteenth to
one-eighth Of l per cent.
1t was the fourth change since July
ID, when the rates were raised in
anticipation Of the rise in reserve re-
quirements of member banks of the
Federal Reserve System which took
place in August. They went up again
December and February 20. In con-
nection with todays boost it was re-
called new increase in reserve re-
quirements is schedule for May /.
The new rates for 3O-day maturities
were placed at Is per cent to sis
per cent; for so days, 7-16 to % per
cent; for 80 days, u to 7-16 per cent:
for 12o days, IS to u per cent, and for
$50 and 130 days, q to 20 per cent.
Bankers said the volume of out
standing acceptances had increased
considerably in recent months along
with that Of other open market CON-
mercial paper. General improvement
in trade, the rise in prices and in
creased commercial business gener-
ally, along with the tendency to
tighter money, were ascribed as causes.

'"The Gospel and the Home" In

About a hearthstone, where prayer
was won't to be made, Martin Luther
was reared. From a home in which
the Christ Life was lived went John
Wesley to change the whole course
of human history. If the coming
generation is to handle the problems
that we will have to hand on to them
they must have the home training
which has made the great leaders Of

make the youth stop to see in their
visions city and a world whose
builder and maker is Cod"

ney branches, open from May 20 to 81
The average daily circulation at
the Perry library was 28O6 volumes,
