JuSGlce van DeVanCer-ne Is
still a justice despite retirement
plans to accept temporary as.
signments as a circuit court jus
tice in one or more Of the 10 cir
cult courts Of the country.
The name of the 7S-year-old jus
tice, who asked to be retired from
the high court, June 2, was pro-
jected into the spotlight again
when Senator Borah (R.) of Idaho
told a startled Senate that no
vacancy existed on the court.
The Idaho Senator, backed by
others, maintains that a Supreme
Court justice may be removed
only by death, voluntary resigna-
ton or impeachment. And Justice
Van Devanter retired under the
law enacted last winter. The
issue may be raised again when
the Senate consider confirmation
of a new justice.
At his farm home near here,
Justice Van Devanter today de-
clined to enter the controversy.
But he made it known that he
expected to sit as circuit court
justice-and only that-in the fu-
ture.
First to Retire
Unperturbed by all legislative
conflict, the justice became the
first Supreme Court justice to re-
tire, instead Of resigning, with no
doubts as to his future position in
the judicial sphere. He is a Su.
preme Court justice, retired, but
he can be called to duty as a cir.
cult court justice.

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
G.N.S.). Fresh threats Of .
drive for farm relief and . re.
bellious anti-lynching bloc today
threatened the congressional leg
islative program.
The Senate hoped to pass the
$700.000,000 Wagner housing bill
and then begin consideration Of
the mild substitute judicial re-
form bill. The substitute would
provide a series Of procedural re.
forms in the minor Federal judici.
airy, without touching the Su.
preme Court.
In the House, leaders were
working toward final action on
the Senate's wage-hour bill and
pending housing act. They also
hoped to compromise a contro-
verSy over sugar legislation. Any
agreement on sugar import quotas
must be approved later by both
House and Senate.
Demand for farm relief legisla.
ton at this session was made by
Senators Black Cd, of Alabama,
and Biblo Cd, of Mississippi, after
the President refused to approve
new commodity loans without re-.
ceiving power to control crop sur.
pluses. They first introduced leg.
isl t l n to authorize l2-centae
pound loans on this years cotton
crop and then seconded the Presi-
dents condition that such loans
be accompanied by Federal control
of SURPRISES.
The anti-lyncbing bloc resumed
it's revolt when Senator Van Mugs
CD of Indians, co-author Of the
pending measure, served notice he
would force a vote on it before
adjournment. Van Mugs and his
associates were seeking an agree
ment first from Democratic leader
Barley for a specific date on
which to begin consideration Of
the bill.

Philadelphia had one celebration
for the Constitution last spring;
but for the actual signing cere-
monies Philadelphia had framed a
colorful event for September IT,
and had asked the President to be
there. The invitation was not &C
copied and was disposed Of entirely
yesterday when Representative Sol
Bloom, director of the Constitution

White House, and it was an
nounced that the official part of
the celebration would be in Wash

To politicians, 1t would have

Mayor Wilson on a conspicuous

An amendment to the District

Senate Judiciary Committee for
action today.
It was introduced yesterday by
Senator Henry F. AShurst CD of

have such laws and some lawyers
argue that 1t holds good here, there
has been some misgiving as to its
strict observance. This amend

SUPREME COURT
APPO|NTEE DUE
within z WEEKS
Borah's Argument Not
Taken Seriously
BY GEORGE DURNO


U.N.S0.-A som ewh 1t per-
picked Senate today waited to con-
firm or reject President Roose-
velt's first nomination to the SUI
preme Court.
On the basis Of the Presidents
slightly cryptic statement at a
press conference, the Senate an
ticipated disclosure of the we'll
concealed name some time before
adjournment Of this session OF
Congress, now tentatively set
about two weeks hence.
Mr.. Roosevelt inferred he would
not make a recess appointment to
the vacancy created by the retire
ment last June Of Associate JUS
tice Willis Van Devanter. He said
his choice for the high court
would be known first when it
actually went to the Senate for
confirmation.
ReOpens in october
Senators who have been debat-
ing such fine points as whether
a vacancy actually exists, or
whether a recess appointment
should be made if it does, could
not conceive that the President
planned to wait until next Janu.
airy to name his man The court
reopens in October, and this would
leave the Supreme bench with
only eight justices.
In spite of the Presidents warn
ing that his nomination would
come without advance notice,
sources closest to the White House
continued "to guess" that a lower
court judge would be. promoted
If correct, this placed U. S. Circuit
Judges Samuel H. Sibley, Of New
Orleans; Sam G. Bratton, of Albu-
querque, N. Mex, and Joseph C.
Hutchinson, of Houston, Texas,
we'll up in the running.
Political aides of the President
significantly mentioned solicitor
Stanley Reed, Kentuckian, as
a possibility, however. Other
sources eyed Governor Frank
Murphy, Of Michigan.
Takes Issue With BOrah
The President himself took is
ue with the contention of Sena-
or William E. Borah (RO of
Idaho, that no vacancy existed
to fill. Fortified with an opin-
ion from Attorney General Cum
mingS, the President said there
was no doubt about his right to
make 3 / appointment replacing
Justice IAN Devanter.
Borah argued that Van De.
vanter retired under the Sum-
ners Act, which merely provided
that Supreme Court Justices
over 10 could step down with
full pay-but ;lways be subject
to recall. The Idaho veteran in
sisted the retirement act needed
amendment if a retired judge
actually was to be replaced.
Administration Senators coun-
erred with a concession that the
Summers act inferentially in
creased the court by whatever
number of justices retired because
those justices always could be
called back to duty If physically
capable.
Amendment Expected
An informal canvass of the Sen
tie indicated that Borah's argu-
nent alone would not be sufficient
% block confirmation of President
2oosevelt's first nominee.
Members further conceded that
should this nomination be con-
iirmed, there was little likelihood
of any further question being
raised about the appointee's quail
fications to sit on the court.
There was a distinct undercur-
rent of sentiment noticeable, never
.heleSS, that sooner or later it
