VISIT TO HITLER
 MAY BE FUTILE
British Diplomats Expect No Benefits Hitler
 Seems Determined >

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 London, Nov. 22-(UP)-Diplo- mats speculated today whether the visit of Viscount Halifax with Fuehrer Adolf Hitler had accom- plished anything to further bet ter understanding between Nazi Germany. and Great Britain. Hali- fax returns from Berlin today and will report to Prime Minister New file Chamberlain and Foreign Sec- retary Anthony Eden on the outcome of his talks with Hitler. The cabinet will meet Wednesday to discuss his visit and perhaps decide whether any useful purpose would be served by inviting Baron KonStantin von Neurath, the German foreign nain- ister, to London. The decision will be made public, as well as the details of Halifax's visit, later this week when Chamberlain is expected to make 6 statement in the house of commons.
 Chances Slight
 The chances that von Neurath would visit London were regarded as slight in view of the, unfavorable re- action to the proposal by the goy- ernment- controlled German press. One of the chief objects of the Hali- fax visit, as published in the foreign press, was to talk over with Hitler

The reinstatement from the Vat- ican centered on Coughlin's char acterization, during Q press inter. view on october 5 of President Roosevelt's appointment of Hugo L. Black to the U. s. supreme court as personal stupidity"
 The archbishop of Detroit col11- mentcd publicly on the Coughlin statement, expressing regret that the radio priest had not had prudent counsel" which would have kept Father Coughlin from using the un- fortunate words, personal stupidity to describe a recent ofilcial act on the president of the United States
 Although both priest and arch" bishop refrained from further com" ment after the october 6th inter- view, the priest shortly divorced himself from all save his regular church activities.
 A scheduled series of % weekly broadcasts - the Sunday sermons which had raised him from the ob. scurity of a parish priest to inter- national renown over a 12-year per" iod-were abruptly cancelled.
 Subsequently, his attorney an- nounced that Coughlin had disposed of his weekly newspaper, Social Justice" to Q Toledo,( o. syndicate and would henceforth not be asso- ciated with the publication.
 Tt should be clear that Father Coughl!n is unable to give an inc teryiew without the permission of his superior" ail associate explained "fIe does not question the right of Archbishop Mooney to rcprirnand him-tilat point never was raised at sily time"

JAP PANESE WAR

Captures Strategic City of Wusik-Makes Threat
 to All Nations

 Shanghai, Nov. 22- (UP) - The Japanese war machine marching on Ranking was reported in unconfirm- ed dispatches today to have cap- tured the strategic city of Wusih, 100 miles southeast of the evacuated capital. Wusih Is pivotal defense point north of Lake Taihu and if the reports of its capture are true, it would mean the collapse of the Wusih- -Kiangyin Chinese defense line, the last important obstacle confronting the Japanese before Nanking. .aA
 Japanese warships and airplanes rained hundreds of bombs on Kiangyin in preparation for an att tack. Chinese reports also said that Japanese warships bombarded Lang shan, on the north bank of the Yangtse, halfway between the mouth of the Whangpoo river and Kiang- yin. Military experts believed that the bombardment was in prepara- ton for a mass movement against Kiangyin.
 Japanese Boats Repulsed
 A Chinese spokesman asserted meanwhile, that Japanese troops in armored boats which attempted to cross Lake Taihu for an attack on Changsing were repulsed with heavy losses.
 Changhsing is the other Chinese stronghold in the path of the Jap anese drive on Nanking. It Is to the west of the fortified line.
 Meanwhile, clearing weather brought the threat of additional air raids on Nanking, which the Chin- csc government already has desert- ed but where thousands of Chinese refugees are living in terror.

WILL HISTORY REPEAT?

President Roosevelt apparently has Deen reao'
ing up on some of the more obscure pohtical MIS-
tory of the United States.
For it now develops that his proposition Tor re-
vamping the United States supreme court was not
original with him but copied almost eXactl!
from a similar proposition which was before con-
orass Ga wears ago-and was alloewd to die in the
senate.
There may be good reasons why we have not
been told much about that original proposition
for il was a Republican measure then.
But the reasons why it was not made law IN
1869 are Just as good in 1887. Arthur krock told
about them in recent issue OF the New YORK
Times.
II seems that a radical congress in President
Grants administration in 1869 wanted to bear
down on the former Confederate states, as nations
had been in the habit of doing to conquered prov

The supreme court stood in the way, however,
and il was the then popular theory that the reason
was the five justices appointed by President Lin
coin, who were believed to hold to his pohey OF
pacific reconciliation.
bill was therefore offered IN the radical anti
South house of representatives, Of which President
Roosevelt'S proposition is almost an exact duph-
cate. It would have permitted all justices to retire
on pensions at 70 years of age, and PROVIDED Tor
The appointment of n new justice for each one VINO
did not so retire.
Some of the recorded debate on this proposition
sounds very much like that we are hearing right
aow. Ben Butler, who could have been expected TO

:eep it crushed declared that IAN effective judi
larry was quite as necessary as an independent

And Representative Eldredge of Wisconsin de-
,lared that congress would bitterly regret it II 1t
gave any president the authority to organize the
supreme judiciary a political court
After bitter debate the house passed the BILL but
it was allowed to die in the senate, and was never
revived-until President Roosevelt brought 1t 10

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SOMETHING ABOUT SEVENTY

When Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette, Jr., took
the air to attempt to sell to the public President
Roosevelt's plan to initiate the supreme court the
senator had good deal to say about men of seven
ty being out of touch with life. Among other
things, he said:
"The Presidents proposals are certainly moder-
ate and reasonable. I think our experience has
demonstrated that the average judge, even before
ne reaches the age of seventy, is likely to lose
touch with the problems of the working world and
to find it difficult to abstain from reading into the
Constitution his own particular social and economic
views. But there is no question that the danger
is much greater in the case of judges who have
passed the allotted three-score years and ten.
'The Constitution was drafted by men whose
average age was in the forties. 1t designed to
govern nation in which the active work and strug-
gle is carried on by men and women from twent
