KIDNAP
PLOT BRINGS
EXTRAGUARD
Toronto Man Tells
Wife of Constable
He Heard Plan

TORONTO, Feb. 13 Q.N.S0.
Special police today guarded the
home of the Dionne quintuplets at
Callander following reports OF a
plot to kidnap the children.
An anonymous voice poured a
story Of kidnapping plot into the
ears of Mrs. James Suggitt, wife
of a police constable in Etobicoke
township, a suburb of Toronto, in
telephone conversation. The
speaker, believed to have been a
man, declined to give his identity.
Extra guards were Immediately
assigned to the quins as well as to
the home of their parents at Cal
lander. and police here were look
ing for both the alleged plotters
and the man who telephoned to
Mrs. Suggitt.
The telephone voice told Mrs.
Suggitt the speaker had been a
passenger on a bus from Buffalo,
N. Y, to Toronto, and had over
heard a conversation concerning
a snatch" of the Dione quintu-
plets between two passengers at
the rear of the bus.
Mrs. Suggitt'S questions failed to
continue the conversation and she
at once telephoned her husband,
who informed Provincial Police In
Spector A. R. Elliott. Provincial
officers checked BUSES without re
suit.
Officers point to the oddity Of
the informer calling Constable
Suggitt's home and speaking to
his wife, rather than calling the
Etobicoke township police office.
Three police officers at all
times are on guard behind the g.
loot barbed-wire topped fence that
guards the Dionne hospital.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 13 IN.sO.
Quiet was being restored in the
state of Vera Cruz today after a
hectic a hours during which
10000 Catholics overpowered the
Cordoba military garrison and
opened the towns churches by
force for the second time in two

The troops were forced to with

Reports reaching the presidency

ever, said troops were patrolling
the streets in Cordoba, Orizaba
and the port Of Vera Cruz. Six
churches in OriZaba remained In
possession of parishioners after
troops there were able to recloSa

Governor Francisco Aleman re-
turned to the state capital, Jalapa,
after accepting a promise of Catho-
lies that they would await his deci.
sion on demands that the churches
be reopened. 1t appeared a truce
was made between authorities and

NEW YORK, Feb. 13 G.N.S).
President Roosevelt's proposed Su.
preme Court changes must be
given the most "unhurried" con-
sideration by Congress and must
be decided on a scrupulously non
partisan basis, Alfred M. Landon
warned last night.
The 1886 Republican presiden-
tial candidate was the chief
speaker before 1000 guests at the
fifty-firSt annual Lincoln Day din
ner of the National Republican
Club here.
Landon did not directly mention
the Supreme Court during his brief
address, but his reference was clear
when he said:
''When 1 accepted the invita-
ton to come to this meeting, I
planned to make a few informal
remarks to you as a Republican
talking to fellow Republicans.

of opposition to his judicial reform
program.
Again Mr.. Roosevelt's calendar
of engagements was filled with
Senators. including some of those
who have come out strongest
against his plan of increasing the
Supreme Court to Is.
Senator King CD of Utah, Sen
ator Burke Cd of Nebraska, and
Senator Van NuyS CD of Indiana.
all of whom differ with the White
House. were on the list. Van Nuys
and Burke have been leading the
Senate opposition to the program.
Others called in were Senator'S
Harrison of Mississippi, and ByrneS
of South Carolina. Both have in
dicated their support of the Presi-
dent.
Meanwhile a suggestion to limit
the Presidents proposed increase
of the Supreme Court to II mem
bers. instead of IS, was studied on
capitol Hill.
Administration stalwarts. who
would like to see the supreme
Court render decisions friendly to
the New Deal. but who do not wish
to vote to place six new justices
on it, eyed the suggestion. 1t ap-
parently was advanced to deter
mine whether it would alleviate
the staunch opposition to the
Presidents original recommends
tlonS.
Mr.. Roosevelt, however, has in
sisted he will not accept any such
modification in his reform. He
has disclosed he will, however,
consider any substitute plan that
would reach the same objectives as
his-namely, enactment of his
legislative program into final law.
The 11-member limitation would
give the President an opportunity
to name Immediately two liberals
to the high court. This would en-
able the court to reverse some of
it's recent 5-to-4 decisions that
struck down New Deal legislation,
but would not change the courts
attitude toward other legislation
that was outlawed by 6-to-3 and
7-to-2 decisions.
