has chosen the Associated Press as
his latest subject. The film, upon
which work will begin Immediately,
not only will tell the history of the
organization in characteristically
dramatic terms, it also will describe
the part of the A. P. In the develop
ment OF a free press in this country.
A "cavalcade OF American journal
ism" is the idea which Selznick has
in mind. 1t will have its beginning in
the year 1848, date of the A. P S birth
as a non-profit, cooperative associa-
ton which has grown into the largest
gathering organization in the
world.
Freedom of the Press" will be the
name Of the film. That it may be fully
authentic, the Associated Press has
made available to the company rec
ords which never have been published.
Casting and direction of the picture
remain to be announced
DING PONG as most players dream
it will be demonstrated on the
stage of the Earle Theater, starting
a week from today, when Ruth Aarons
and Viktor Barna take over the head
line vaudeville spot. Miss Aarons and
Barna are champions of their re-
spective sexes. They not only will
demonstrate the speed and skill which
make champions, but will veer off into
the occult side of the game, which
involves shots of such thickness that
you'd better not believe your eyes.
At least one drama reporter with a
pitiable skill at the game already has
said no to an invitation to play
against Miss Aarons. Local ping
pongists made of more sturdy, or
foolish, stuff will be given the same
chance to decline. Or accept.

ager. in his annual going native"
look. At the moment it is a matter of
distributing applications for additions
in which talent for the annual revue
will be chosen. The theater has them,
but so do We if any one cares to drop
around.
1t is next week that Mr.. Ford's work
really begins to look like scaling Mount
Everest or hitting Dizzy Deans fast
ball out of the park On Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday he will preside
at additions for the local talent show
which will be held in August.

America is the one country he does
not wish to visit. They tell me the

Together with his wife he weighs
800 pounds-250 for Hitchcock, 80

never eaten an egg in his life-"they
nauseate me-" After drinking his
o'clock cup of tea, he breaks the cup
and saucer.
For his size. Hitchcock is playful.
He once wrote-with his left hand-a
risque fan letter to Robert Donat
when shot is bad, he says, lash can"
which means "re-shoot" During
the making of "Thirty-nine Steps"
he handcuffed Madeleine Carroll to
Robert Donat and threw the key
away . Peter LORE Is the only per-
son alive who has beaten him to a
practical joke. He presented him with
40 canaries in 40 cages.
Leading lady in "A Shilling for
Candles" is 17-year-old Nova Pilbeam,
playing her first romantic role. But
there's no sex in it." adds Hitchcock
Miss Pilbeam is under-developed

Pretty Vivien Leigh-you saw her

quaJmS whatsoever in prOclaiming to
the American people that they will
employ every parliamentary rule at
their disposal to prevent this bill
from being enacted in this Congress
and to prevent the confirmation of
any judges who might be appointed
under it. They should tell the people
plainly that they intend to obstruct
this measure in order to give the
voters chance to pass upon it, They
should declare as plainly and en-

ment above loyalty to any party or
any man. Many of them have been
outstanding in their enthusiastic sup
port of the President and his policies,
but recognize that their leader made
fatal blunder in impulsively adopt
ing the too clever device of his young
lieutenants.
On the issue of this battle depends
far more than is apparent at the sur
face. The cOurt-packing device OF the
anonymous young advisers was not
designed as an end in itself but mere
ly as a means to a far more am
bilious end. 1t it can be forced thro-
ugh a Congress which at heart is
overwhelmingly opposed to it, the
road will be wide open to multitude
of measures drafted by these same
advisers and designed to concentrate
in bureaus conferred at Washington
sweeping powers over the lives and
activities of American citizens. Full
control of these bureaus in turn, is
to be concentrated in the hands of
single man, the President. Such bu-
reaucratic domination of our people
is, of course, unconstitutional. But
the Executive and pledged to validate
any measure passed by a submissive
Congress, the citizens last bulwark
of protection, the Constitution, will
have been reduced to a meaningless
"scrap of paper
It was a subservient and cowardly
Reichstag which voted it's own efface-
ment and the destruction of German
liberties. Can it be that a suEservient
and cowardly Congress will vote its
own effacement and the destruction
of American liberties? Or have we
enough representatives who place pa
triotism above politics, and loyalty to
country above loyalty to party, to
save the priceless heritage of demo-
cratic government?
The citizens one recourse in the
present crisis is a personal appeal to
members of the Senate, irrespective
of State or party lines. One month of
lethargy in critical situations like the
present has recently, under our very
eyes, cost two nations their freedom.

is noble to resist uSurL 6tiOn.
The sponsors CT this proposal have
been routed in de5are and they refus.
to submit the issue t. the judgment
of the people. They are proposing Ia
use money, patronage, and party dis
cipline to settle the issue. TO fight
that, to stand up and refuse to let this
thing be done, to ObstrL:t, delay, aid
oppose this invasion, Is in the highest
degree honorable, ard those who have
their places in the company of the
gallant men who have established our
liberties and have preserved hem.
The issue is very simple. Nothing
must be done by legislative act of this
Congress which in any degree grants
to the President extraordinary powers
over the Federal judiciary. On that
there can be no compromise. There is
ample room for accommodation on
any kind of constitutional amend
ment. For amendments are submitted
to the people. But this Congress, hav-
ing no mandate from the people to
tamper with the courts, being under
pledges Numerically opposed to at
tempts to impair the independence of
the courts, must not be permitted to
impair that independence by any de-
vice whatsoever.
No good reason has ever been al
legged why this measure must pass
now. The powers of the Federal
government have been greatly ex-
tended; they are ample for any
legislation that this Congress will
really wish to enact. There is no OBJ
lection to the obstruction of a fill
buster. There are no measure held
up by it that urgently need to be
passed.
So on moral grounds and on
practical grounds it can be said of
the opposition Senators that their
principle is fundamental, that their
cause is just, and that they are
about to fight good fight for the
preservation of American liberties.

OTHERS VIEWS
SAYS REAL MOTIVE HIDDEN
IN COURT FIGHT.

To The Editor:
A battle of incalculable importance
to the American people is being
fought out in the Senate. To one who
has in modest way served two Dem
ocratic administrations the forces en-
gagged in this struggle appear as fol-
lows:
On one side is a group of Senators
some of whom have publicly denounc-
ed the Court-packing scheme and
many of whom are known to deplore
it in their hearts, but all of whom
have apparently decided to yield to
executive dictation. Because the Pres-
ident has refused to heed their urgent
advice that he withdraw entirely a
dangerous proposal secretly concocted
for him by anonymous and irrespon-
sible advisers, they feel that they
must pass a compromise measure con-
tanning all the worst features of the
original bill.
On the other side is a group of
Senators, counting some of the most
distinguished leaders of the Demo-
cratic party who despite Executive
pressure and threats of political re-
prisals have dared to place loyalty to
American traditions of free govern

The Great Filibuster.
A GOOD FIGHT TO PRESERVE
AMERICAN LIBERTY
by WALTER LIPPMANN.

Having been defeated in the first
attempt to pack the Federal courts.
the Administration is now confront
ing us with another scheme to achieve
it's ends in another way The original
bill would have given the President
the power to appoint six justices of
the Supreme Court Immediately; the
proposed compromise" gives him the
power to appoint three judges within
the next six mOnths-one in place of
Mr.. Justice Van Devanter, one sup
Elementary judge for 1887 and one for
1885, It would give him the power to
appoint at least four judges within
eighteen months, and more if there
are designations or deaths.
The new scheme differs from the
first one only in that Mr.. Roosevelt
cannot pack the court Immediately;
tie more slowly. But he is given au-
thority to pack it, and to make him
self the virtual master of the judi
ciary before the end of his present
term.
This is in no sense of the word an
honest compromise, and at bottom the
new proposal is as devious and as
deceptive as it's predecessor. On the
pretense that age is a disqualification,
this new bill provides a device for the
seizure of the court It's object is to
compel the court to express the will
of the executive. 1t seeks to accom-
plish a fundamental change in the
basic law of the land by the act of
bare legislative majority. 1t violates
the platform on which that majority
was elected. And it deprives the
American people of their sovereign
right to pass upon the constitutional
structure of their government.
The new scheme is entirely unac-
ceptable and must he resisted to the
bitter end
The principle at stake and the pro.
cedure of the Administration do not
merely justify a filibuster; they call
for filibuster. The Senators who are
in the opposition should have no
