Getting ready for resumption of ad-

Ashurst said the Judiciary Committee
appeared about equally divided on the
Roosevelt bill.
Unless break in this lineup oc-

the administration leadership may
have difficulty in getting the measure

Some committee members were get

Wheeler had been scheduled to

He asked delay however, to gather
fresh information. Under the new
arrangement, the opponents will begin
testifying next Monday.
Ashurst invited IA deans of law
schools and professors OF constitu-

judiciary reorganization.
The group included James M.

COURT PLAN Foe
CITES RED RIDER
Harvard President Halls
Senate Repeal Vote in Let
ter on Judiciary Proposal.

In a protest against the Presidents
court proposal, President James B.
Conant Of Harvard University today
prefaced his open letters to the two
Massachusetts, Senators, Walsh and
Lodge, with reference to the Districts
"red rider
"The recent action of the Senate
in repeating the red rider is welcome
sign that the wave of intolerance which
marked the passage of achers' oath
bills in many States is beginning to
subside." he wrote.
But many of us who have been in
terested in combating this threat TO
freedom are now alarmed by the pro-
posed change in the Supreme Court.
To US, it appears contrary to the spirit
OF free democratic country; it points
the way for an interference with the
judiciary which might eventually jeop-
ardize the liberties guaranteed under
the Bill Of Rights"
Conant's criticism of the court plan
constituted his first ublic statement
of political nature since he assumed
the presidency of Harvard, President
Roosevelt's alma mater, nearly four
years ago. Condemning the proposal
as dangerous in the extreme" he
wrote further to Walsh and Lodge,
both OF whom are declared opponents
of the plan:
my opposition to the Presidents
proposal is based primarily on one
point. The administration intends TO
bring about what seems to most lay
men a constitutional change without
a special appeal to the country-sn
appeal which might have been sub
mitted to the voters few months ago.
If the precedent is once estab-
lished that party in powe- can pack
the court, admittedly to affect de-
cisions on the constitutionality of acts
of Congress, how long will 1t be be-
fore some administration will pack
the court to affect decisions on the
issue Of liberty itself?"
Conant made clear that his pro-
test was not based on opposition 10
New Deal legislation or sympathy
with the trend of Supreme Court de-
cslons since it began deciding the
validity of New Deal laws.
Personally" he said, Il should
wish to live under the present Consti-
tuition as written, but as interpreted
by a minority of the present court.
Some measures should be devised to
alter the existing situation. Even the
proposal now before the Senate, if
cast as constitutional amendment
(thereby fixing the size of the COURT.
might be defensible. But for a party
in power to attempt to rush through
change of this nature by act Of
Congress without submitting the issue
to the country seems to me dangerous
in the extreme"
The court, Conant wrote In ex-
planning his position, "has served to
protect the fundamental principles of
free country-freedom of speech
and assembly"

Thar she blows!"
The traditional cry of the whaling
fleets is going TO play an creasingly
important part in the work of the
Coast Guard, beginning about May 1.
For the first time since its estab-
lishment in 1870, the Coast Guard is
assigning officers to all American
whaling ships to see that the oil-pro-
ducing mammals are killed only in
accordance with the regulations laid
down by the Seventy-fourth Congress.
The first Coast Guardsman to be
ordered to whaling duty is Lieut.. j.
D. Craik, now q junior grade officer
of the cutter Northland, working out
of Seattle. He was chosen from ap-
proximately so applicants-many of
them undoubtedly inspired, Coast
Guard officials concede, by the aura
OF romance which has surrounded the
whaling industry for centuries.
Nothing Romantic in Whaling.
But, according to Comdr. w. N.

Guard, there is nothing romantic-

mcst unpleasant joos imaginable. "lS
calls for the hardest kind OF work on
crowded boats reeking with the odor
Of blubber for six mt-lths or so at a
stretch, with no opportunity to get
anywhere near land"
The Coast Guard ssued a call for
volunteers for whaling duty last Mon
day, after the American Whaling Co.
of New York had been granted the
first license issued under the So
called whaling treaty act" of last
May l.
Coast Guard officials were frankly
surprised to receive so many applica-
tions, several of whichever more
surprisingly-came from married men.
Craik was chosen, it was explained,
because he is intelligent, healthy and
single"
Craik, whose home is in Andover,
Mass, will sail from New York the
latter part of April for the Indian
Ocean whaling grounds" where he
will supervise the work of the 5000.

four killer" boats until some time in
November.
Personnel Norwegian.
The personnel of the expedition will
be composed largely of Norwegians,
and one Of Craik's first duties prob
ably will be to acquire at least 4
rudimentary knowledge of their Ian
guage. In addition to seeing that
none Of the Government regulations
are violated in the killing and process
ing Of humpback whales, Craik will
make motion pictures and gather suf-
f1cient data to enable the Coast Guard
to get out an illustrated pamphlet
on the whaling industry. He will keep
in touch with headquarters here by
radio.
