SENATORIAL HEADACHES

Senators who are trying to take the
Supreme Court to pieces were hand
cd "A few hard nuts to crack in the
temperate remarks of Justice Nc
Reynolds, who observed that "the
Supreme Court of the United States
is like the balance wheel of watch.
Take it out and the works will not
function" Did that create some SEN
atorial headaches? You'd better
guess that it did! But there are no
Sd differences among even some 2x4
Senators about Justice McReynolds'
further observations. He said;
We're in a troublesome wOrld-a
strange common unrest-a strange
disposition TO forget that great in
junction to prove all things. . There
is a strange restlessness. strange
desire to break away from that
which is proved-to rule, or ruin"
Speaking of the Constitution and
ideals of the founders Justice Nc
Reynolds observed: 1T has succeed
ed beyond expectations of the IA
thers. We have seen rights to life,
liberty and property preserved" The
American people, he said. have de-
termined that our success in history
to this day shall not be thrown to
the winds
The battle continues to rage. fur
iously, on Capitol Hill and through
out WashingtOn's political centers.

Washington, Aug. 2 -(AP)-Senate
leaders, confident most controversial
problems were out of the way, fore
cast today speedy passage of the Wag-
ner housing bill.
Heartened by the collapse of last
weeks rebellion over wage and hour
legislation, they called up the houS-
ing measure for debate, which they
said would probably not last for more
than a day or two. The bill, one of
the major points in the administra-
TONS program, would authorize loans
and outright contributions to public
housing agencies for construction of
low rent dwelling units and the eradi-
cation of slums.
A bond issue of $7OO,OOO,OOO over the
next three years would provide funds
for loans. An initial appropriation of
$26,000,0O0 would be used to make di-
rect contributions and pay administra-
tive expenses.
The United States Chamber of Com
merce, criticizing the bill, said gov
ernment-subsidized housing as a per-
manent policy would inevitably have
demoralizing effects upon soundly con-
ceived community efforts to rehabi-
litate and rebuild blighted and slum
areas"

Hendaye, Franco-Spanish Frontier
Aug. 2.-(AP)-I nsurg mt artillery
opened a bombardment of Madrid's
outer defenses today after driving a
spearhead into Spanish government:
lines west of the capital, as battles
were fought on three other fronts.
General Francisco Frances troops
pressed hard against government de-
lenses in eastern and southern Spain.
On the northwestern front insurgents
reported defeating an attempt to
break their lines east of OviedO in
AsturiaS.
Government forces had about 1000
casualties in the Asturian attacks,
the insurgent report said. At Cuero,
troops numbering 5000 rushed against
insurgent lines only to be caught in
a cross fire of rifles and machine
gun bullets 1.-TWO hundred bodies
were left dangling in barbed wire
entanglements when the attackers re-
tired" the advices said.
On the Teruel front, where insur-
gents have tried to cut communica-
tons between Madrid and Valencia,
government capital, FRANCOIS forces
conuered new positions in the Carlo
nera mountains. Since the offensive
started, insurgents have advanced
approximately Sc miles.
Insurgents reported that a drive
into the governments Madrid lines
west of the capital met only slight
resistance. Government sources said
Italian troops with General Frances
army apparently had been withdrawn
from the Santander front on the Bis
cayan coast.
Bitter fighting also ragged on the
southern front, but the government
declared insurgent attacks had been
repulSed.

Attorney Generals Decision
Based on Precedent and

tary Says; Text of Ruling
Not Made Public by Mr..
Roosevelt's Aide

Washington Aug. j2.-(AP)-The
White House announced today At
torney General Cummings had held
that President could fill the curren!
Supreme Court vacancy whether Con-
gress was in session, in recess, or had
adjourned.
The President had requested the in
formal opinion by the attorney gen
eraI.
Stephen Early, White House press
secretary, said Mr.. Roosevelt had MOI
decided when ne would appoint sue
cessor to Justice Willis Van Devanter,
who retired June 2.
Early said Cummings opinion was
based 'Aboth on precedent and on
law"
The text of the opinion was not
made public.
9Tht opinion was asked" Early
said, ito clear doubts away which
had been expressed in various quar-
tiers regarding the time when an ap-
pointment to the court should be
made to comply with the law"
The fact that the vacancy occurred
while the Senate was in session was
the basis for the uncertainty express
ed in some official quarters as to
when it should be filled.

Is Against
Recess Job

Washington, Aug. 2.-(AP)-Sena-
tor Vandenberg, Republican, Michi-
gan, offered a resolution today as
sorting that it "was the sense of the
Senate" that Supreme Court appoint
ments should be made only when the
Senate could act before nominees be-
gan service"
He acted after it became apparent
that President Roosevelt might not
appoint a successor to Justice Van
Devanter, retired, until Congress has
adjourned. Thus the Senate would
have no chance to pass on the ap-
pointment until next January. The
appointe could sit on the bench from
the beginning Of the fall session until
that time. He could continue in his
position if the Senate confirmed him.
but would not be able tc do so if it
refused confirmation
Vandenberg asked that the resoiu-
ton lie on the table to await cons'd-
GRAFTON without going to committee.
Chairman Ashurst, of the judiciary
committee, Democrat, Arizona, and
Democratic Leader Barley, Of Ken
lucky, both insisted the resolution
should go to the committee. Van
denburg, however, left the resolution

Raleigh, Aug. 2.-More and more
dissatisfaction is being expressed

with the manner in which some ct

ner in which they are retarding, in
stead of assisting, in economic I'M

North Carolina. The State govern
ment generally, as well as the people
as a whole, have been becoming in
creasingly disguised with the Federal
Rural liberalization Administration
and the manner dn which it has
sought to impede rural identification
in the State by power companies and
city-owned utilities.
Dissatisfaction Spreading
This dissatisfaction is now spread
