Supreme Court Fight Opens Before Senate

 InjunctiOns Are Recklessly Used
By JOE ALEX MORRIS Limited Press Stan COrrespondent)

Washington, March 10-(UP)-- Attorney General Homer S. Cum mings opened the administration s congressional drive for supreme court enlargement today with a declaration that President Roose- velt's Judicial reorganization plan would restore the balance of our governmental machinery"
 Speaking just 12 hours after Pres ldent Roosevelt's fireside appeal to the nation for support of his su- preme court enlargement program, Cummings reiterated before the senate judiciary committee the pres- ident's request for enactment of the judiciary program.
 Before the committee and @ crowd that jammed the big senate caucus room, the attorney general echoed the presidnt's appeal for national support in one of the bitterest con- gressional controversies in many years.
 Reckless Use of Injunctions
 He rejected alternative methods for meeting "the impossible situa- ton" growing out of what he termed reckless use of injunctions" against New Deal legislation.
 Formally clad, unhurried and calm, the attorney general contended that the presidents plan was neces- sary to clear the way for urgent so- cial and economic legislation.
 Cummings brought to the commit tee a prepared statement which he read as the hearing opened.

Will Launch Rival of Big American Federation;
 Textile Industry First
By c. L. SULZBERGER United Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, March 10.-(UP)-- The committee for industrial organ lzation prepared today to establish the first of a series of local unions directly rivaling the national struc- ture of the American Federation of Labor.
 The move, approved by leaders of the ten c. I. o. unions which the federation suspended last fall, was viewed as an indication that the O. I. o. shortly would sever all ties with the federation and create its own organization on permanent basis.
 Simultaneously the c. I. o launch launched campaigns tt unionize employees in southern ant New England textile mills, coasta shipyards and south~estern oi fields. The federation also pushed organizing work, competing in Sev' eral industries with the eg I. o. William Green, federation preSi. dent, said he considered the resolu. ton to initiate a national structure an indication that "they decided tc function as rival organization tc the American Federation of Labor. o. I. o. officers were empowered to issue certificates of affiliation tc national, international, state, re- gional, city central and local groups whenever 1t is deemed such action is advisable"
 John L. Lewls, c. I. o. chairman said the resolution spoke for itself He indicated that the authority would be used sparingly at first but (Continued on Page 7.)

the judiciary committee and while no city officials appeared before the committee to oppose the measure, Senate Committee Chairman Ray mond J. Devlin, democrat, of New Haven and House Chairman Noah Swayne, republican, of Darien, stated that a substitute bill was to be brought in which would leave the entire matter for @ pension up to the Waterbury retirement board.
 Senator Culhane Appeared
 At the hearing yesterday Sena- tor Culhane appeared before the committee and spoke in favor of the measure, which would grant Town Clerk Egan half pay upon her re- tirement from her present office. Mrs. Nellie Hayden of Waterbury, heading Q delegation of 35 women, also appeared in favor of the bill. Senator Culhane further presented to the committee a petition in its favor. It bore the signatures of about 500 Waterbury residents.
 In executive session late yester- day afternoon the judiciary com- mistee decided to leave the entire matter up to the City of Water bury because of the fact that the city has its own pension system, provided for by legislative action. This pension act requires that the en,ploye be at least 60 years of ago and have worked 25 years con- tinuously for the city. The law is adequate ruled the committee yes- terday.
 The original Culhane bill was amended slightly yesterday 50 that its wording was approximately that of the Waterbury pension act and similar to Q special act passed in 1929 to provide 8 pension for for- iner Registrar of Voters Henry o. Connor.

Madrid, March 10.-(UP)-The loyalist government called 100000 recruits to the defense of Madrid today as insurgent tank Armadas swept down from the northeast to- ward Guadalajara, the capitals last outpost. Moving forward rapidly, despite stubborn resistance. the na- tionalist army sent its mechanized forces rolling through 10 towns on a 30-mile front and had pushed the loyalists' lines back l2 miles in 24 hours. Authorities said the spear head of the new nationalist offen- sive on the northeast was two rein- forced Italian army divisions aggre- gating 14,000 men, split into 20 bat talions and deployed over @ wide area.
 Insurgents Rush On
 The insurgent vanguard was re- ported outside Brihuega, only 20 miles eastnortheast of Guadalaj jara, on the Taguna river. The town has a population of about 5000. The new recruits had only 24 hours notice to report for duty today as 1t be- came increasingly apparent that Gen. Francisco Franco, insurgent commander in chief, had opened an offensive of first magnitude. The conscripts comprise the 1882 to 1886 classes of men from 2l to 25 years old born between 1912 and 1916. It was estimated that about 25,000 members of these classes were al- ready in Madrid. They will be out- fitted immediately and sent to the front.
