"The wild claims of fanatics that

Is recognized"
Every preparation, he said, has been

In recent years there have been

RED RIDER BILL
CONFEREESL0CKED
Senate Group Stands Firmly
for Outright Repeal

BACKGROUND
Repeal OF red rider urged By Fed

other ctUtc groups here because,
they feel, it puts all public school
teachers under cloud.
Bills to repeal rider hate been
passed by both Houses at this ses-

The first conference on the red
rider" ended in a stalemate TODAY.
with the Senate group standing firmly
for outright repeal and the House
members defending the modified pink
rider adopted by that branch.
The rider provides that no salary
be paid any public school employe who
teaches or advocates communism, and
the controller generals Office ruled
that its enforcement requires every

The House proposal Is to permit

unnecessary reflection on the teachers

We defended the position of the
House, but the Senate conferees are

probably some time next week"
The Senate has voted twice at this
session in favor of outright repeal, and
there are no indications it will yield
that position. If the disagreement In
conference continues, the next move
probably will be to report a disagree

most OF Congress by delivering pro-
posdl for increase in size OF court,
retirement of judges at 20 and
several other innovations.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.
Robert H. Jackson, Assistant Attor-
ney General, told the Senate Judiciary
Committee today at the hearing on
President Roosevelt's court bill that:
1T is idle to contend, as many of
the advocates of judicial supremacy
do, that it was ever intended that the
Supreme Court become a super-gov-
ernment.'
Jackson pointed out that to Con-
gress had been given not only the su-
preme legislative and policy making
power, but also conclusive powers over
jurisdiction and enforcement of de-
crees of the court and over appoint
ment and behavior of the court per-
sonnel He argued that it was clearly
the duty of the President and of Con-
gress to deal with the situation as 1t
now affects the Supreme Court.
The responsibility with Congress
for seeing that the American people
have workable, harmonious and CO.
operative judicial system is so usually
overworked by those engaged in build
ing up the tradition of judicial su-
premacy, that the burden of consti-
tutional responsibility on Congress
deserves examination said Jackson.
Second Witness Called.
The Assistant Attorney General was
the second witness called by the
Senate committee for the hearing on
Mr.. Roosevelt's plan to increase the
personnel of the Supreme Court. Again
the hearing room was crowded to its
limit by the curious throng interested
In the controversy.
The committee adjourned until
1890 am. tomorrow after question:
ing Jackson. The next witness will
be Judge John Devaney of Minnesota.
He is the first president Of the new
National Lawyers Guild
When Jackson finished his prepared
statement he was complimented by
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat of
Wyoming, who said: ut can hardly
be surpassed as an analysis of the
fact of the usurpation by the Supreme
Court of the legislative function
However, O'Mahoney, who has in
dicated he prefers curtailing the pow-
er of the court by an amendment to
the Constitution requiring a two-thirds
vote of the justices to invalidate an
act of Congress, questioned Jackson
closely on this point.
Jackson conceded the Presidents
plan might leave a situation where
social legislation still could be blockda
by the vote of one Judge. He said he
did not think this would be the case
because "the infusion of new blood"
would provide justices whose views are
IN closer harmony with contemporary
(see JACKSON, Page A-5.)
