carefully before issuing their state
ments The announcements of these
men was scarcely Offset by radio
address by Attorney General Homer
S. Cummings, dutifully defending
the Presidents plan.
Senator Clark said he was entire
ly in accord with the minor pro-
posals in Mr.. Roosevelt'S scheme,
but was totally unable to agree with
the provisions for packing the Su-
preme court. He continued: 1.-The
conclusion is unacceptable that to
increase the court at one time by
the increase of an additional two
thirds of its present membership
is to pack the court with reference
to a particular situation and par
ticular litigation now pending or
to be Immediately pending before
it.
ITO me it seems a radical and
unnecessary change in our whole
system Of government, without the
submission to the people in the
proper form of an amendment to
the Constitution. Therefore I shall
vote against that portion of the Pres
ident's proposals"
Then came Senator Wheeler, stall
wart radical, with a statement
which it was reported he made pub
lie over the protests of the White
House. He said in part:
II am, always have been, and
will continue to be opposed to the
usurpation Of legislative functions
by the courts; am, have been, and
will be opposed to usurpation of leg
islative and judicial functions by the
executive branch Of the govern
ment.
1.-The issue is: How are we going
to prevent in the future this usurp-
alton of the legislative power by
the courts? Shall we attempt to
coerce them by packing the court
with six new men? If we do add
six new men to the court does it
correct the evil? Or is it merely
temporary expedient?
Every labor leader, every farm
er, and every progressive-minded
citizen in the United States would
have been shocked and protested
from the house tops if President
Harding, President Coolidge, or
President Hoover had even init
mated that they wanted to increase
the Supreme court SO as to make
it subservient to their wishes.
IF this administration can in
crease the Supreme court to make
it subservient to its wishes, an
other Harding administration can do
the same thing.
There is nothing democratic,
progressive, or fundamentally
sound in the proposal advanced by
the administration.
Attorney General Cummings ad-
vanced these two reasons for sup

Life's Blessings

NOTHING raises the price of
L ' a blessing like its remov-
al; whereas it was it's contin-
uance which should have
taught us its value. There are
three acquisitions to the proper
enjoyment of earthly blessings
"a thankful reflection on the
goodness of the Giver, a deep
sense of our unworthiness, a
recollection of the uncertainty
of long possessing them. The
first would make us grateful;
the second, humble; and the
third, moderate. - Hannah

Investigation has shown, however,
that the second reason is unsound.

PRESIDENT FOR AMERICAN SHIPS
Asks Congress to Start New $16O,OOO,O Ship-
 building Program Now
By c. L. SULZBERGER United Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, June g. UP) - President Roosevelt asked congress today to start a new $160,000, 900 shipbuilding program to provide the United States witt: an adequate mer- chant marine.
 In a SupriSe memorandum mes sage, the sea loving chief executive advised congress that "the Ameri- can people want to use American ships" and asked approval of the plan to build the best and most modern ships-and build them right away"
 The U. S. maritime commission planned to facilitate immediate con- struction of 28 new ocern-going vessels as congress undertook prompt consideration of MT. Rooscvelt's re- quest.
 Plan to Start Work
 Commission Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy announced that certain definite companies" have informed him that they plan to begin work on that number of ships as soon as feasible under the presidents pro- gram MT. Roosevelt asked congress to appropriate $1o,0o0,ooO inmedi- ately and authorize the commission to spend $150,00O,000 additional be- fore 1940.
 The entire program Kennedy said, would add 95 ships to the American merchant fleet. They would include 2 super liner of the Manhattan Washington type to re- place the obsolete Leviathan, 60 car go ships, A passenger and cargo ships and 10 hign speed tankers.
 Under the 1886 merchant marine act, private companies would finance 25 per cent of construction costs and the federal government would pay the balance.
 Boom At Shipyards
 Kennedy said he expected an im- mediate boom in the nations ship yards. He intimated the only delay in the program-if funds are voted might De shortage of the desired type of labor. He pointed out that the absence of shipbuilding since the World war had reduced the skilled labor supply.
 The president said that over 85 per cent of the American merchant fleet will be obsolete in five years.
 "There is no sense in talking about an adquate or first-class merchant marine in the face of such facts" MT. Roosevelt said. For us an adequate merchant marine has to be a new merchant marine.
 "It is not our intention to expend
 our merchant marine to drive out the ships of other nations. However, we must have facilities adequate for the protection of the American shipper and for purposes of national defense"
