RACE BILL HIT
BY REF0RMER

Clinton w. Howard last night
launched a drive for the defeat Of
the pending bill to legalize horse
racing in the District.
The new superintendent Of the
International Reform Federation,
speaking at meeting in the Cal
vary Baptist Church, asked for a
fight against the "first-born sons
of Satan-the Sword and the
Saloon" In a spirited attack on
the appeal of prohibition, he said:
"The time is fast approaching
when people will rise in rebellion
against the re-legaliZed liquor
traffic with its responsibility for
the slaughter of the innOcentS
and wholesale assassination on
the highways of the nation. Any
local or optional method of deal
ing with a national evil is too
local and too optional as a per.
manent remedy"

Lawyers Guild Approves
Supreme Court Reform

The National Lawyers Guild
at a meeting of 600 members in
the washington Hotel last night
went on record as heartily in
favor" of President Roosevelt'S S
plans to reorganize the Supreme
Court.
They also adopted a resolution
providing for a referendum
among Guild members on two
proposed amendments to the
Constitution.
One proposal calls for change
in the method of amending the
Constitution. Congress would
initiate the amendment, and the
people would either approve or
reject it by direct majority vote.
The other amendment would
take from the Federal and State
courts the power to invalidate
legislative acts on the ground
thai the acts are in conflict with
State and national constitutions.
DR.. Herbert Wright, professor,
Of international law and head of
the department of politics at Cath
olic University, entered the court
dispute, calling the Presidents
proposal a step to dictatorship.
DR.. Wright said Mr.. Roosevelt'S S
plan calls for executive control
of the federal judiciary" which, in
effect, he said, means abolition
of the power of judicial review" ,"
the aim of the proposal, as the
professor sees it, sis to secure a
court more in sympathy with the
Presidents political philosophy"
