Possibility of action on the pro-
posed Wheeler 'Mahoney consti-
tutional amendments, calling for
6-to-3 decisions Of the Supreme
Court to invalidate legislation, to-
day drew interest to a secret ses-
sion of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee.
Public hearings on President
Roosevelt's court plan, where the
opposition has been assailing it
for the past three weeks, were re-
cessed over the weekend. The
committee met in executive session
however, for the nominal purpose
of passing upon a number OF
judicial appointments.
Vote Possibility Forecast
Rumors prevailed that Senator
O'Mahoney CD of Wyoming, CO.
author with Senator Wheeler CD
of Montana, of the 6-to-3 amend
ment, would call up his proposal
for q vote. There were indications
the proposed amendment would
meet with committee approval If
a vote is taken now. Opponents
Of the Presidents plan have en-
dorsed it as a substitute while
some Senators on the Presidents
side have favored it as an adjunct
to the bill increasing membership
of the high court.

hearings when they are resumed

attorney; DR.. C. B. Patterson, OF

organization in opposition to the

Hearings End Soon
There were indications the hear
ings will end next week, unless the
Administration decides to present
witnesses to rebuff the huge flood of
testimony of opponents. Thus far
the opposition has presented eight
law professors, five practicing law
yers, eight liberal leaders, two
publicists, five farm leaders end
four clerics to condemn the plan.
Previously, the Administration
presented four law professors and

Violent fighting on the Madrid

by government troops and some
10000 insurgents trapped.
A desperate insurgent counter
attack was expected in an effort
to reestablish contact with a large

was exceptionally heavy around

A few shells landed in the center

On the Casa Del Campo sector

EPIC OF NORTH
REVEALED BY
DR.. FALLAIzE
NearIyFrozen to Death
In Flight Over Snow,
Says D. c. Visitor
By CARROLL PEEKE

An epic of the North-a tale of
heroism in the frozen wastes far
beyond the Arctic Circle-was re-
lated today by the Right Rev.
Pierre Fallaize, Coadjutor Bishop
of the missionary District of the
Mackenzie.
Bishop Fallaize, who is visiting
here at the Oblate House at Cath
olic University, Of which order he
is a member, might well be termed
the Bishop Of the North Pole, for
his district, embracing thousands
of square miles where the foot OF
a white man has never trod, ex.
tends to the Pole.
He has never gone that far, be-
cause there are no inhabitants
there. But in the quarter of a
century he has served his church
in the frozen North he has visited
every section of the district where
there are inhabitants, bringing
the Gospel to the Indians and Es-
kimoS.
Now Uses Plane
BY dog team, by canoe, by boat,
and now by airplane, he visits the
1000 members of the church
scattered over the thousands OF
square miles of icy wastelands.
There are % missions with resi-
dent priests in his district, and it
is q 5,000-mile journey to make
the round of them. Only within
the past few weeks the Bishop has
obtained an airplane, and now
will be able to visit the missions
each year, a thing impossible be-
fore.
To minister to the communi-
cants Of the church in this vast
area there are a. priests, all mem
berS of the Oblate Fathers.
A Frenchman-and he is proud
of the fact that he is Norman born
Bishop Fallaize was ordained to
the priesthood in 1912 and conse-
Grated Bishop in 1881. For more
than "a years he has been a mis-
sionary in the far North, and
would not give up his work for any
ether region, despite the hard
ships involved.
There are only 10000 persons in
all the region, mostly nomadS,
roaming from place to place, seek
ing to exc out a living, hunting
and fishing for food and trapping
animals and selling the pelts for a
little, money to purchase what
things they need.

scattered missions. situated along

tanned a 60-foot schooner, Our
Lady Of Lourdes.
The tiny craft is equipped with
a powerful motor as well as its
sails, and is sheathed with iron
to help break through the ice.
1t was on this little boat that
Bishop Fallaize set sail last July
to carry supplies and visit the
missions trip that almost cost
his life and those of his COM
panions.
For the little boat was locked
in the ice during terrific storms,
and finally the Bishop and his
companions were forced to de-
sert the vessel and make their
way overland through deep snow
and terrific storms to reach one
of the missions.
There they were confronted
with shortage Of food and fuel.
They fished through the ice for
food, and fortunately found an
outcropping of coal that gave
them fuel.
Works To Dig Coal
The Bishop set aside his dig
nifty of office and worked as a
miner, digging coal to furnish
warmth to keep them alive.
When the vessel headed out into
the Arctic Ocean there were on
board the Rev. Father Griffin,
captain; the Rev. Father Biname
and the Rev. Brother Kraut as
engineers, an Eskimo pilot, an
Eskimo cook and as passengers
the Bishop and two young mission
aries.
An early winter set in, and in
August the little boat was trapped
in the ice. Week after week passed
as they attempted to escape.
Finally they beached the craft
and made their way overland.
through terrific billiards., with
the ever-present danger of starva-
ton.
Keeps a Diary
Finally, Just before Christmas,
a plane, seEt to their rescue,
reached them, and after hazard
Gus flight, during which they
made a forced landing in a snow
storm and were almost frozen to
death, they reached civilization
and safety.
During the long days and
nights, the Bishop kept a diary of
their experiences from day to day.
Here are excerpts from his diary:

HUGHES MARKS
18TH BIRTHDAY
TOMORROW
Is High
On Retirement of
Chief Justice
international News Service

International news service
Speculation over the possible re-
tirement of Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes was widespread to-
day as he approached his seventy.
fifth birthday tomorrow.
Conjecture here grew out Of 9
statement made by the Chief JUS
tees book on the Supreme Court
in which he said that a compul-
sorry retirement age of rs could be
more easily defended than COM
pulsory retirement at 10.
Friends of the Chief Justice.
however, maintain that he can re-
main on the bench indefinitely
without subjecting himself to the
charge of inconsistency. They say
he has all the mental vigor and
physical strength of many men Is
years younger.
Native of New York
Born April II, 1862, in Glenns
Falls, N. W., the Chief Justice
has had one Of the most remark
able careers of any public man.
He has been governor of New
York, Secretary of State, a Justice
of the Supreme Court, Republic
can candidate for President, Z
member of the World Court. He
took his present office as Chief
Justice on February "a, 1880.
In discussing movements for
compulsory retirement of judges.
the Chief Justice years ago
aroused. comment by stating aged
justices are reluctant to give up
their work, adding "they seem
tenacious of the appearance Of
adequacy"
Holmes as Example
On the other hand, defending
aged justices who are able, he
pointed to the agreeable spec.
tacle" of the late Justice Holmes
doing This share of the work" on
the high court at the age Of IS
with the same brilliance that
he showed 20 years ago."
Chief Justice Hughes has fire.
quently said the regular life Of
judges makes for longevity. He
wrote:
"The age Of 10 may well be
thought too early for COmpuI-
sorry retirement. Such retire
ment is too often the cOmmun-
ity's loss. A compulsory retire
ment at IS could more easily be
defended.
DECISION ARBITRARY
81 agree that the importance
in the Supreme Court of avoid
ing the risk of having judges
who are unable properly to do
their work and yet insist ON re-
naming on the bench, is too
great to permit chances to be
taken, and any age selected
must be somewhat arbitrary as
the time of the failing in men,
tai power differs widely. The
exigency to be thought of Is not
illness but decrepitude.
The possible attitude Of the
chief justice in the event that
Congress adopts the Presidents
Supreme Court plan also has
aroused speculation. He has al
ready disclosed his opposition to
the plan.
May Act in Summer
Some court observers believe
that the chief justice will resign
during the summer if the Presi-
dents plan becomes effective.
One of the greatest triumphs
of the chief justice, according to
friends, is the decision in the
Washington minimum wage case
reversing the courts previous de-
cision of 1923.

Widely Known Sportsman Back
 In Territory
Frederick HoIlander in from Telegraph Creek Head
 ed for Mckinley

After a hunting trip in the Tele- graph Greek country, Frederick w. Hollander, widely known New York sportsman who makes annual trips to Alaska, is in Juneau for a few days before going to the Westward Tuesday on the Yukon for a hunt in the Kenai Peninsula. Before going to the Kenai. the sportsman said he expected to go to McKin- ley National Park for a picture shooting expedition. After that excursion he will pick up Guide George Nelson of Seward and go out for some sheep.
 MT. Hollander has hunted all over the world but says that in more recent years he is incluing more and more toward picture shooting than gun. He has killed virtually every kind of animal and now likes to take pictures for trophies.
 While hunting on this trip, the sportsman confided that up in the Iliamna country there is a place where one can get the greatest rainbow fishing in the world" Of course, MT. Hollander may drop into the Iliamna section.
