HIGHEST COURT
RETIRING ACT
QUESTIONED
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

International News Service
Question of whether Supreme
Court Justice Van Devanter's re.
tirement creates a vacancy was
raised today by Senator Boran
(R) of Idaho,
Borah declared there were legal
authorities who felt the recently
enacted retirement law was I'm.
constitutional, because it changed
the status of a Supreme Court
justice without specific constitu.
tional authority to do so. His
views were shared partly by Sena.
tor Lewis CD of Illinois.
Cummings Investigating
Attorney General Cummings was
reported to be preparing a brief
on the issue for the President. II
he decides the existing law is de-
fective, it was said he would
recommend additional legislation
to remedy the situation.
Senator Borah said:
"There are those who claim
the retirement act is uncOnStitu-
tional. 1 think that is rather a
strained construction.
"Their contention is based
upon the fact that a man
either is a Justice of the Su-
preme Court or he is not and
that his status cannot be
changed after appointment ex-
cept by him resigning or by i'm
parchment. They say it is not
in the power of Congress to
change his status.
Question Raised
81 raised this question in the
Senate Judiciary committee,
when the bill was being con-
sidered, but 1 could get no hear
ing on it. / pointed out that
the provisions for calling re-
tired justice back to duties on
the Federal bench might raise
the question of cOnStitutiOnality
against the act. OF course, to
hold that Congress cannot pro-
vide for the retirement of
Supreme Court justices is to
hold that all retirement acts are
unconstitutional"
Lewis declared there sis a seri-
Gus question whether there is any
vacancy on the court, since The
law authorizes justices to retire
and yet remain as judges" He
suggested an amendment to the
retirement act, taking away all
future duties from retired justices
might clear up the situation.

the Broncos have a really great
punter. With the ball around
midfield or just inside Santa

BroncoS will not hesitate to punt
on second and third down, for
they will depend on Pavelko to
punt go yards out of bounds down
close to the L. S. U. goal line, even
if the gridiron is muddy. Pavelko
