 NEG HOOKUP

In his first fireside radio talk to the American people since the be- ginning of his second term of office, President Roosevelt spoke on tEe mite Of March 9th from the Diplo- matte reception room of the White House.
 Accusing the Justices of being a Policy making body rather than a Judicial body. the President called for new blood in all our Federal courts, enabling speedier and less costly justice to the nation.
 Answers Critics
 Answering the charges of his en- emies that he wishes to pack the Supreme Court, the President said If by that phrase il is charged l plan to put puppets on the bench To de- eide questions as l decide. let he say that no president would appoint and no senate would approve such appointments But if it is charged that by packing l mean to appoint. and congress to approve justices worthy to sit beside the present members of the court, judges who will not override legislation but en- force the constitution as written. If they call that packing then l ard the vast majority of Americans fa- vor doing that
 Favors Legislation
 In another part of his speech he said he favored legislation rather than a constitutional amendment be- cause quick action was need to ln- sure enactment of social and econ omic legislation to keep Us from she dangers of another 1929. Ameni- ments take months and years 10 oh- tain the enactment by three-fourths of the states and l3 states represent ing only per cent of the people could block the amendment if they wished altho B states representing 95 per cent of the people voted for it.
 The Presidents proposal is 10 rr- tire on full penaian jodunn ---i---- ttIvy rvorh ,I4o osv of 70. If th5c do not wish to retire, a new member is added to the court. appointed hy the president and confirmed by the Senate At present there are 5 in the Supreme Court over seventy If they retired, six members would be added and the court membership would remain at 9. If they did not retire new members would be added and the total might be 15 members. No additional seats would be added if those over ID retired according to the proposal. There is nothing radical about the plan he said, the only subject being to put the federal bench in full vigor. It is no attack on the Court but simply bringing in new blood - young men who know the facts and circumstances oi the modern social and economic needs of the country.
 Previous to his administration the presidents have nearly all appointed members to the Supreme Court. Taft named 5, Wilson B. Harding I. Cool idge 1, and Hoover 3 thus keeping new blood and renewed vigor in the court. There has only been one jude named since 1880.

What to Expect on Going
To the Canadian Rockies

So you're going to Ban1? Or is it
Lake Louise? Let's say Canadian
Rockies and we've included them both.
And you want to know what's there
to see or to do? Or whom you may
meet? I'm glad you don't demand =
one-word answer. for all you'd get
would be "sure!"
You leave your train at Banff, ard
IL you car stop gaping at the ring
OF mountain peaks all around, you
see about getting your baggage through
customs-for surely you've been sensi-
bic and bonded everything but hand
baggage straight through to Banff.
And here comes your first surprise
smiling customs agent who gives you
the feeling that you're a guest, and
more than welcome. On the leisurely
half-mile drive to the Banff Springs
Hotel the chauffeur supplies mostly
answers; you ask the questions.
Yes. Banff lies just about a mile
above sea level. That peak is Mount
Norquay. 8.275 feet; this one is Stoney
Squaw, 6,l80 feet; that farther one is
Mount Burgeau. 9,6l5 feet, and this
one with the chunk bitten OF the top
is Mount Rumble, 1888 feet. Yes,
ma'am, there's the headquarters Of
the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
No, sir, that's the Bantf Museum and
just beyond Is the town ZOO OF native
animals.
BY this time you've sighted the
hotel, which looks like a Scottish
barony, built OF native stone. Your
car rounds the turn of the main drive
way with banks of flowers Just about
everywhere. You can't quite leave
the car because you're looking at that
famous 100000 view of the Bow
River Valley. Your eye sweeps along
from the white roar OF Bow Falls
past the meeting of the Bow and
Spray Rivers (which is No. / tee of
the golf course) and so over the wind
ing valley itself to the blue Fairholme
Range 20 miles off. But that's only
beginning. The elevator zips you
up to your room and you dash to
the windows just to make sure the
view is still there. 1t is, only more
so. You get cleaned up for lunch
and out OF any dining room window
you get further confirmation from
different angle. You look at your
menu and in it you find colored
views OF neighboring scenes. But by
this time you're hardened, like the
traveller who, upon getting his first
sight Of the Pacific Ocean, could
sniff. 'Humph, I thought it'd be twice
as big'
Thenceforth your problem is to de.
eide just which Of many things to do.
Play round Of golf? Tennis? Swim
in the outdoor hot sulphur pool, or
IN the cooler one just alongside. Take
a walk along one Of the many trails
radlating out from the hotel door,
way? Or mount horse TO take the
kinks out Of your limbs by putting

ALASKAN TOURIST
HOTEL PLANNED
Mckinley National Park to
Supply Accommodations
for Visitors.

The Federal Government will begin
construction by July Is of a hotel in
Mount Mckinley National Park,
Alaska, with a view Of the continents
highest mountain as the first step in
a long range Alaska travel develop
ment program.
Upon completion the hotel, with
facilities for about l2O guests, will
be operated by the Alaska Railroad.
At present hotel accommodations
in interior Alaska are limited and
the national park has only a small
tent camp at Savage River, IL miles
from the railroad, for tourists. Both
the steamship companies and the
Alaska Railroad expect sufficient in
creased tourist interest after COM
pletion Of the new hotel to warrant
the operation OF additional boats to,
and trains within, Alaska.
Two-Day Train Trip.
Mount Mckinley National Park lies
between Seward and Fairbanks. Two
days are required for the 325-mile
trip from Seward to the park, as
the Alaska Railroad operates over thus
route only during the day, due to
lack of Pullman accommodations
The overnight stop is made at Curry,
midway between Seward and Fair
banks, where there Is a small hotel,
but Curry is 100 miles from the park.
The hotel will be constructed
at the park entrance on the Alaska
Railroad and the overnight stop dur
ing the Summer season will be made
there in the future instead OF at
Curry. Thus visitors who want to
see the park will arrive in the evening
stay overnight at the hotel, travel
the next morning through the park
in automobiles over an 88-mile gravel
highway from the hotel site to a
point giving fine view of Mount
Mckinley, the highest peak In North
America, spend the day in the park
return to the hotel for another night
and go on to Fairbanks the next day.
The park travel season is from June
10 to September Is.

include ice-capped peaks, grinding
glaciers, moss-covered foothills and
forests of spruce in the valleys. The
principal scenic feature is Mount Nc
Kinley with its snow-covered crest.
rising 10000 feet above sea level
The park abounds in Wildlife. There
are caribou, moose, bears, mountain
sheep. wolves, red foxes, lynx and
snoWshoe rabbits to be seen There
is excellent fishing in the park. The

RIO DE JANE1Ro, June 2e.-
Among the many unique sights Of
Rio seldom visited by tourists is the
old palace OF Boa Vista, located out
side the gates OF the lower city.
Within the palace Is the largest COL
lection Of Brazilian Indian tribal art,
consisting of exquisite ornamental
tons, head dress and musical instru-
ments from all sections of Brazil,
with, captured trophies and religious
paraphernana Of Amazon head hunt
ers.
Behind the palace, which dates
from the sixteenth century. are two
Of the oldest and most interesting
churches in South America, including
the great marble church OF Carmo,
known as the hidden cathedral.
Among the features are the interiors
decorated with ancient carvings of
rich Brazilian wood in colored inlays
of exotic mahogany and ebony. With
in the church are four centuries Of
silver lamp making as created by the
monks in the Sac Bento Monastery
which adjoins the church.
The features that distinguish the
gayly decorated church of Gloria de
Oteiro are its queer octagonal shape
design originated by the Portuguese
in the seventeenth century and the
approach to the edifice on Gloria Hill,
claimed the crookedest church pas

Age is an indefinite thing.
Many persons clamp padlocks on their

IS or 40 years that they are entirely in
capable Of reading something they do
not approve Of.
Even II they force themselves to read
1t, they all the time are bringing up
counter arguments In their own minds
not for any honest purpose, but solely
to be able to uphold their prior tudg-
ment.
Especially Is this true Of an average
mans attitude toward . medical book
which has not received the blessing Of
tho fraternity.
The healing art since It's inception has
been 70 surrounded With mumbo- Jumbo
that many laymen are even afraid to
think about their own failings and dis

doctors they believe, and this attitude
Is approved by the profession, OF course.

This makes every library, large or

The person with the investigational

Congress Should Do Own

To the Editor of The Star:

gress unstabilized money and now 1t
wants to unstabilze time ION the theory,
I suppose, that time Is money!. Can't
Congress leave anything stable any
more-not even time? I say, leave the
clocks alone. Changing them is wrong
in principle. If people want to 60 to
work earlier, let EN- change the work
hours. but not by monkeying with the
clocks. The wisdom Of the ages has
taught men what's the best time to
start and quit work; but. aside from
that no really wise men" will say the
sun is on the meridian at pm, when
all the school books. text books, en-
cyclopedias and dictionaries say it Is
IL M, and the laws OF Nature look
after what the sun really does-some
Of the State Legislatures to the contrary
notwithstanding
Changing the clocks will make trouble
for only half the people. If Congress
really wants to make trouble for all
the people, I suggest that 1t change
the sun itsef-not the clocks. Con-
gress might answer: "Oh. but We
haven't got Jurisdiction over the sun,
but We have got Jurisdiction over the
clocks" True. But you don't have to
exercise Jurisdiction" Just because you
have it.
What lot of vastly more important
tasks there are for Congress! It should
quit trying to denote the general vel
fare and should give attention to in
sunng domestic tranquility, the estab-
lishment Of justice and the common de-
fense and securing to the people the
blessings Of liberty. The Houses Of Con-
gress and the individual members thereof
should ever remember that their people
expect them to act the part Of wise
men, engaged in a great and arduous

Revolt in Albania.

Albania, Europe's tiniest kingdom, with
an area about the size Of New Hamp-
shire and Vermont, seems to have sup
pressed an incipient revolution against
the rule Of the former Colonel Ahmed
Zogu, Moslem, who, after serving three
years as President, was proclaimed
monarch under the title Of King Zoe
nine years ago. Two towns In the south,
seized by rebellious troops during the
week end, have been promptly recap
tured by government forces, with the
result that the insurgent movement ap-
pears to be nipped in the bud. Tran
quillity prevails in other provinces and
the throne at Trana is believed to be
in no immediate further danger.
Small as Albania 10, its position near
the southeastern tip Of Europe, directly
across the Adriatic from Italys boot

Yugoslavia and Greece, invests zogs
miniature realm with both political and
military importance. It has long been q
prime factor in Mussolini's calculations
and in his ambitions to expand Italian
power in the Mediterranean, the Near
East and adjacent regions. Through 4
series Of successive financial and po-
litical agreements dating from 1895, and
which 1T one time included 4 mutual

the Albanians have become progressively

son-in-law and foreign minister, on 4

Zog that the treaty with Belgrade in
no way denotes 1taly's abandonment Of
her protection" Of Albania.
Various causes are assigned for the
revolutionary outbreak. One suggestion
Is that certain elements, In spite Of
Fascist reassurances, are fearful that
Italian authority in Albania is assuming
magnitude that BODIES no good for her
independence. With It's overwhelmingly
predominant Moslem population, the
country is the last stronghold of Islam

civil strife, but might tempt covetous
and rival neighbofs to fish in troubled
waters What has happened In Spain
