awarded the judicial ermine.
Sen. Hiram w. Johnson, r.
Calf, who crusaded the presi-
dents court bill as though in a
holy war, and Sen. Edward R
Burke, D., Neb, leading Demo
cratic opponent, both objected
without reflecting personally on
Black. Few doubted, however, that
after routine consideration of his
record the senate would confirm
him.
Referred to Sub Committee
The nomination was referred to
a senate judiciary committee
which will meet tomorrow. Sen.
M. Nicely, D., w. Va, heads the
group. Black will have to receive
approval of that group and the
entire judiciary committee, of
which he once was a member, be-
fore his name will be passed on by
the senate.
Timing of the nomination caus-
ed distinct surprise, even to Black,
who said he had known of it only
for few hours. Only half an hour
before the senate met the White
House had announced that 60 or
10 candidates were being consid-
cred and that Mr.. Roosevelt did
not know when he would select a
name. Moreover the president had
intimated he might delay the
nomination until after the SEN
ate adjourned, and then make a
recess appointment.
Reaction Favorable
Congressional reaction was gen.
orally favorable, although there
was minority of bitter opposi-
ton. The two leading figures of
organized labor, President William
Green of the American Federation
of Labor and Chairman John L.
Lewis of the Committee for Indus
trial Organization, both endorsed
the man who has headed the SEN
ate committee on education and
labor and who but recently whip

The only senator's who commit
ted themselves to vote against
Black were H. Styles Bridges, r..
N. H., William H. King, D., Utah
and Carter Glass, D., Va, whom
President Roosevelt calls the "un-
reconstructed rebel" Bridges said
he would oppose Black because he
doesn't think the Alabaman has
a suitable judicial temperament. y
King, although opposed, predicted
the senate would confirm the
nomination without prolonged dis
pute.
Sen. Majority Leader Alben w
Barkley praised the appointment

After an all-day session yesterday,
the House Agriculture Committee had
almost completed consideration of

members said. to impose q penalty Of

ture Department had suggested q as

Representative Coffee. Democrat, Of
Nebraska said the group also tenta-
lively decided commodity loans on corn
should be made on basis Of not less
than go per cent or more than IS per
cent Of parity. Under the formula
prescribed. the present parity price Is
81 cents q bushel.

visions requiring corn producers to

does not appear that Congress will
be able to accomplish much until the
President makes definite his view on
this tax
The week began with conciliatory
words toward business enterprise, but
ended with another crack down from
the White House. The high cost of
living is due entirely to the Roosevelt
imitation policy, plus the wicked
destruction of crops and animals for
three years. plus the generalization
OF business through confused bureau
cratic controls, which look to the COL
lectivist form Of government. Two
of the Presidents intimate advisers
are on record as saying only week
ago that our American system OF
competitive enterprise is not entitled
even to one more chance
Repeal Demanded.
Mr.. Treadway gave it as his opinion
that the administration had turned
thumbs down on repeal Of the undis-
tributed profits tax. In order to
save the face of the administration, :"
he continued, which so strongly
recommended this legislation under
the leadership Of Secretary Morgen-
thau and Mr.. Oliphant. the essential
structure of the law will be retained.
The authorities have seen the hand
writing on the wall sufficiently to
realize that public opinion has been
so thoroughly aroused in opposition
to this iniquitous tax measure that
it is necessary for them to retain
only the name and not the tax"
Mr.. Treadway said there was no
proper middle course and that the
tax should be repealed outright. He
would night for such an end, he said.
Plenty OF Democrats have attacked
the undistributed profits tax. among
them Senator's Bailey OF North Caro-
lima. Harrison Of Mississippi and
George OF Georgia. But up to the
present time. the administration ap-
pears to have the upper hand.
When it was suggested to some of
the administration leaders yesterday
that it might be possible and advisable
for the Ways and Means Committee
to report a bill dealing only with re-
vision OF the undistributed profits tax
and the capital gains tax, they re-
Piled they did not think such a
course should be followed, or would be.
They said persons interested in hav-
ing other parts of the tax system re-
vamped would rightly claim they were
being Disseminated against. Admin
istration leaders argued also that un-
til 1t was possible to know just what
the Government budget would be for
the next fiscal year. no change could
be made in the tax laws which might
reduce the revenue. if the President
is to be able to balance the budget.
Taking No Chances.
Individual members of the House
and Senate would seek to amend any
tax bill that came before the two
houses. to effect a repeal of the un-
distributed tax law Administra ton
leaders are very careful, however. that

FIND SEA INSECTS
SLEEPING IN ICE

Members of the Soviet Academy
of Sciences, probing in the Siberian
ice, recently discovered at depth
of Is feet a number of primitive
insects and small sea animals.
There these creatures are comput-
ed to have lain dormant since
1000 B. c. Notwithstanding they
have now, by means of scientific
thawing, been brought back to life.
Immediately on resurrection, all
showed an eagerness to resume
their normal functions; even the
eggs located beside them have
been hatched; and from the frozen
crawfsh, Prof. P N. Kapterev,
leader of the expedition, has al
ready bred ten new generations.
AS an example of natures re-
frigerating powers, this research
triumph is amazing. But scien-
lists attach a far deeper signifi-
canoe to it. They foresee that if
insects can survive for 5000 years,
man might well accomplish SIM
liar feat. In America, DR.. Ralph
