more judges to confer, more judges
to discuss, more judges to be con-
WINGED and to decide. The present
number of justices is thought to be
large enough so far as the prompt,
adequate and efficient conduct of
the work of the court is concerned"
Mr.. Hughes said his letter was
approved by Justices Van Devanter
and Brandeis. He made it clear
that he was commenting on an in
crease from the standpoint of eff
fciency and "apart from any ques-
ton of policy" which he said, Il do
not discuss"
Senator Burton K. Wheeler of
Montana, Democrat, was the first
opposition witness called before the
committee, and he set forth his
views forcibly and at length. Be-
fore entering the committee room
he said he believed the admins
tration would eventually accept a
compromise plan. He advocates a
constitutional amendment, permit
ting congress, by two-thirds ma
jority, to override Supreme court in
valuation of acts of congress, pro-
vided a national election had in
tervened between invalidation and
overriding.
1.-THE administration will compro-
mise, don't worry" Wheeler said.
''They can't get more than thirty
five senate votes for the Presidents
plan. Public opinion, which swerved
toward them for a while, is now
swinging heavily against them"
Edward S. Corwin, professor of
constitutional law at Princeton, was
heard by the senate committee in
support of the Presidents bill and
he got along very nicely until SEN
ator Burke, leader of the opposition,
called his attention to a speech the
professor made a year ago and a
book he wrote Is years ago, in both
of which he expressed views quite
different from those he seemingly
now holds. Then Senator Tom Con-
nally took a hand in the questioning
Nov you say the court is biased.
You want to add six new justices
who will be biased in the other di-
rection, don't your"
Professor Corwin evaded direct
answer for some time, but Senator
Connally, demanded to know whether
he did not support the Presidents
plan for this purpose.
well, that is one of the reasons,
the witness said.
The American Federation of La
Dor, like its opponent, the c. I. o.,
has favored the Presidents court
plan, though rather mildly, but
President William Green, when he
appeared before the senate commit
tee, was even less emphatic in his
approval of it. He denied that the
court as now constituted ''has as
sumed dictatorial power or that it's
members have not the mental ca
pacity or the necessary learning"

DR.. Wedel believes the flying
drouth'' forced the Indians to aban-
don their homes to seek a living
elsewhere.
Students of the major drouths of
recent years say farmers in the af-
fected regions may have to adopt a
similar course. The only solution
to the problem, they say, is to re-
store much of the region to sand
restraining grasses.

to depression and loss of work."
Mayor Couzens said. "It would
be unfortunate for him to do so.''
The mayor added that the police
would continue to evict strikers
from plants and stores held by 9TH
ers than employees at the places.
The eight Chrysler plants were
still held by the sitdowners, and
everyone was waiting anxiously for
Gov. Frank Murphy to determine
what action the state government
would take to enforce the law. Evic-
ton and arrest of the strikers had
been ordered by Circuit Judge
Campbell, whose order to get out
was defied by the workers, but the
sheriff said he couldn't act further
until he was given a sufficient force
of deputies.
