NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCERT

One of the significant facts about the
present drive of the President and his
friends for enlargement of the Su-
preme Court in the interest of New
Deal legislation is that, if successful,
it will do away entirely with the ne
cessity of changing our fundamental
law by amending the United States
Constitution. Up to this time, when it
was deemed advisable to enact legis-
lation prohibited by the Constitution,
an amendment to that document has
been in order. The recent Prohibi-
ton amendment and its repeal are
cases in point.
If it is desired to reenact such laws
as the invalidated NRA and AAA, as
the critics of the Presidents plan have
frequently pointed out, then the logical
and proper thing to do would be to
amend the Constitution SO that such
laws might be made valid. But under
the Presidents plan, if such laws
now apparently unconstitutional are
desired, then the quickest way to bring
about the desired result would be to
enact a law permitting the President
to appoint enough new justices to
swing the court into line with the new
legislation. So, from that time on,
the old process of amending the Consti-
tuition could and would become archaic.
***
In his recent testimony before the
Senate Committee, in which he opposed
the Presidential plan, Professor Ray
Moley, former ace Brain Truster, asked
these interesting questions, which up
to this time seem to have remained
unanswered: "Does the President
mean we shall have no more amend
ments to the Constitution? Does he
mean that in the future there will be
change to meet the changing times on
ly through Interpretation? Does he
mean that the Constitution must al
ways be what the judges say it is? Is
our constitutional destiny from genera
tion to generation to be vested in a
long succession of Refrigerated
courts?" Undoubtedly the answer of
the Presidents friends of the question
would be mo-" But if we 'reinvig-
crate" the court just once, what is to
prevent future Congresses, obeying
future Presidents, from doing it again
and again?
1t has been the argument of the sup

DELLA BELLA TO
FACE BARRISTERS
Difficulty Arises in Banks
Contemplated Fore
closure Action

Difficulty seems to have arisen in
the establishment of whom the Wa
terbury Savings Bank shall bring
an action for foreclosure against, in
regard to property on Laval street.
The property has been owned by
Daniel Della Bella, butat present
the records show it to be possessed
by Rocco Malone, who is the rea-
son for the quandary Of attorneys
involved, for he is apparently UNI
able to be found. Mention has been
made that Malone is residing in an
other state, and an attempt Is be-
ing made to contact him.
Meanwhile, however, the first floor
of the property is occupied by a
member of the Della Bella family
and he collects the rents. In an
effort to clear up the situation,
Judge McEvoy has ordered that
Della Bella be subpoenaed for a
hearing Monday morning at $50 a.
m. Attorneys have requested that
he appear and aid in clearing the
cloud, but their requests have been
unheeded.
