 At the same time, the President disavowed any intent to pack the Court with "sptneles puppets who would disregard the law" and decide cases as he might wish them decided
 The President asserted that the process of Constitutional amend ment is too slow for the pressing problems of the day.
 Appeal to Consultation
 We must find a way to take appeal from the Supreme Court to the Constitution itself" said the President.
 We want judiciary which will do justice under. the Constitution and not over 1t. Tn our courts we want government of laws, not of men.
 T want as all Americans want, an independent judiciary as pro- posed by the framers of the Con- stitution. That means Supreme Court that will enforce the Consti- tuition as written; that will refuse to amend the Constitution by arbi- trary exercise of judicial power. or by judicial say-so. It does not mean a judiciary so independent that it can deny existence of facts universally recognized"
 The Chief Executive declared that If we have learned anything from the depression. it is not to run around in circles" It is the purpose of the President and Con-

 OF COURT BILL
Appears Before Senate Judiciary Committee
 Repartee Takes Place

WASHINGTON, March l0.--At- torney General Homer s. Cummings today pleaded before the, Senate Ju- dietary Committee for adoption of President RooseveIt's Court bill as a means of injecting new blood" into the judiciary and avoid "tor- tured construction of the Consti- tution."
 The Attorney General said the proposed increase in the number of Judges is not for the purpose of enslaving the judiciary but for the purpose of making it an adjunct to the Executive.

 Four Listings The Attorney General listed four pillars upon which he said the plan of recognizing the judiciary rests. as follows
 First-Impossible situation creat- ed by reckless U. s. injunctions in restraining the operation of Federal laws.
 Second-Presence on the Federal Bench of aged or infirm Justices. Third-Crowded condition of the Federal docket and delays in the lower courts which impose a heavy burden upon the Supreme Court. Fourth-Need for an effective system and infusion of new blood in the judiciary.
