plans to relax for two weeks while
Cabinet officers and congressional
supporters temporarily carry on
the spectacular battle he started
for judiciary reform.
Goes For a Rest
Mr.. Roosevelt announced he
was going to the health resort TO
rest. He assured callers that dur
ing the next fortnight he in
tended to do as little work as pos
sible and pay a minimum OF at
tention to national affairs.
His departure from Washington
potentially leaves the arena to the
Senate Judiciary Committee, which
has Just started hearings on the
Presidents bold proposal to add
enough justices to the Supreme

several Senators had complained
they were unable to hear the At
torney General yesterday. Ashurst
then added:
'T would advise Senators to
roar like the Bull of Basham If
they want to be heard"
DESCRIBES CHANGES
jackson described six previous
changes in the size of the court
which had never deprived it
of independence or prestige" He
said the constitutional fathers
left the size of the court to be
fixed by Congress, because they
anticipated it would be changed
from time to time. He said:
'It is just as constitutional
to add members to keep the
court up with the country as
to add members to keep the
court up with its business. The
power Of the Congress to avert
constitutional stagnatiOn is as
great rs its power to prevent
cOngested dOckets."
Then Jackson pointed out how
the high court must rely on
Congress and the President. even
to the extent of being provided
With q court room. And, he
added, its decisions must be en-
forced by Congress and the
President. He continued:
"This power to reduce the
Supreme Court to a mere phan-
tom was not an accident. Our
fOrbears knew the story Of
judicial abuse and tyranny as
well as the story Of legislative
and executive abuses. These
cheeks and balances were there
fore embodied in the COnStitu-
tiOn to enable Congress to check
judicial abuse and usurpatiOns."
HITS SUPER-GOvERNMENT
Declaring it was ''never in
tended that the Supreme Court
should ever become a super-gov-
ernment," Jackson added:
'Tt is clear that Congress has
the power to see that the per-
s0nnel Of the judicial system is
adequate, both with respect to
number and to the neutrality
Of attitude. It Is a RESPONSE
bility Of Congress to see that
the court is an instrumentality
In the maintenance of a just
and constitutional government
and that it does not become an
instfumentality for the defeat
Of constitutional government.
The duty Of cooperation is not
cast upon Congress and the
Executive alone"
Against Amendment
jackson frowned upon proposals
to amend the Constitution. He
said:
"It may be possible by mere
words to clarity words, but it Is
not possible by words to change
q state Of mind hostile to
the exertiOn Of Governmental
powers. Judges who resort to
the exertiOn Of governmental
Constitution may toEture an

Backs Antigambling Bill
District Attorney Garnett toAy
was in the forefront of concerted
drive to clean out Washington'S
gambling centers. It was revealed
he has given his approval to the
pending antigambling bill. which
has passed the Senate and is now
awaiting House action.
In a letter to Corporation Coun-
sci Edwood Seal, which was for
waroed to Representative Mary T.
Norton Cd of New Jersey, chair
man Of the House District Com
mittee, Mr.. Garnett answered re-
cent objections 20 the bill.
Answering the charge that a
section of the proposed measure
is too drastic because it permits
police to search mans house on
suspicion of gaming activities, Mr..
Garnett stated that this clause
merely broadens the scope" Of
existing law, and pointed out that
the authorities could be relied on
to use the proper discretion.
The measure, applying specifi-
cally to operation Of the numbers
game in Washington, is directed
at commercial gamblers only, Mr..
Garnett said, and for this reason,
he declared, the additional police
authority is needed.
