RECUR
THREE JUDGES
Will QUIT
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International NswS service

International News Service
Retirement Of three justices Of
the Supreme Court before the BE-
ginning Of the new term next Octo-
Der Is being persistently rumored
in washington as the Senate bat
ties laboriously over the Roosevelt
reorganization plan.
These rumors are impossible Of
confirmation, for the justices
habitually keep their own coun-
sci. But they recur with such
frequency and perSistency as to
lead some Senators to believe there
may be something to them. Under
the Sumners-McCarran retirement
act, which was enacted after
President Roosevelt proposed to
enlarge the court to is members,
all justices over 70 may retire
with full pay $4,000 a year,.
Both Sides to Lose
The justices who figure in these
rumors are Justice Louis D. Bran
deiS, go; Justice Willis Van De-
vanter, 70, and Justice George
Sutherland, IS. Justice Brandeis,
the eldest member Of the bench,
has been consistent supporter Of
New Deal laws, and the Admin
iStration would be rather regretful
at his departure.
Justices Van Devanter and
Sutherland have been just as con-
siStently opposed to New Dealisn.
They comprise half of what
Attorney General Cummings re-
Gently described as "the battalion
Of death" against social and eco
nomic reform, the other half being
Justices James C. McReynolds, IS,
and Pierce Butler, II.
According to one report, Justice
BrandeiS contemplateS retirement
at the expiration Of the present
term in June, irrespective Of the
status of the Roosevelt court fight.
Retirement of Justices Van Devan-
ter and Sutherland will hinge, it
is reported, on the outcome Of the
court fight. AL three have been
failing in health, especially Justice
BrandeiS and Justice Sutherland,
Court Fight End Likely
Should the three retire at the
end Of the present term, early
next month, it probably would
bring to a speedy termination the
fight over charging the court. Mr..
Roosevelt then would be in posi-
ton to name three new justices
and change the entire complexion
Of the court, which is the end he
sought In advancing his plan three
months ago.
The haraSsed Senate, on both
sides, sincerely hopes the retire
ment r1lrnors have substance. Yet
there is no assurance that they
have.
Members Of the court are pro-
ceeding with their summer vaca-
ton plans and to all outward ap-
pearances are obliviouS to the
stormy controversy that has ragged
about their heads for several
months.
Justice Sutherland plans to sail
for England the week after the
court receSSes for the summer for
a stay Of several months. He was
born in Buck1nghamshire, and Of
late years he has made it an an
nual custom to spend his vaca-
tons roaming his native heath.
Mexico Lures Stone
Justice Van Deyanter has a farm
in nearby Maryland, where he
spends most of his time when
court is not in session. He plans
to 60 there soon after the recess.
Justice Brandeis, the recluse Of
the bench, will go to his summer

night, according to police, Carmen q.
Quantrille, 80, of the 100 block OF N
street was being held today in con-
nection with robberies in Washing
ton and nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia, in which approximately $4,000
was stolen.
Shortly after noon today, second
man-whose identity was not disclosed
was arrested by detectives and
taken to headquarters for questioning
in connection with Quantities activi-
ties. Detectives said they suspected
the prisoner had been one of Guam
trille's accemplices.
Mrs. Dorothy Biser of Arlington,
Va. who expects to become mother
soon, told detectives Quantrille gained
entrance to her home about three
weeks ago with two other men by
posing as a Secret Service agent.
Inside the residence, the men drew
guns, Mrs. Biser said, and. while
Ouantrille detained her downstairs,
the other men broke open safe and
obtained $1,000.
Mrs. Bisers husband, Beverly Biser,
who operates concessions at North
Beach, Md. identified Quantrille as
the leader of a gang which attempted
to hold him up at Fourth street and
Rhode Island avenue northeast few
hours before his home was robbed.
He escaped by fleeing into a drug
store, Biser said.

mental Farms, where he was beaten
into unconsciousness, robbed of $75
and thrown at the roadside not far
from the scene of the Mary Baker
murder. Still dazed by the beating,
he was found IA hours later.
Leroy Richardson, 40, of 3 Florida
avenue, identified Quantrille, police
said, as the bandit who robbed him of
Sl56 two weeks ago at Nineteenth and
E streets northeast.
Detective Sergt. Hugh Robey, who
arrested Quantrille Saturday night,
said his prisoner is under indictment
in Prince Georges County in connec-
ton with the ST, 700 robbery Of Andrew
Gill. 70-year-old storekeeper, in the
Spring of 1886. Gill was brutally
beaten by the robbers.
Served Time at LOrton.
In 1885 Quantrille was arrested in
connection with the robbery of local
gambler who lost $500 in a hold-up,
but was released when the victim re-
fused to prosecute.
Quantities criminal record dates
back to 1928, when he was arrested for
assault, police revealed. He served a
year in Lorton Reformatory for rob-
berry.
When arrested, Quantrille gave the
name of William Bell Jones, but he
was speedily identified by Robey.
Police said they did not know
whether Quantrille was related to Will
liam Clark Quantrill, leader of the Civil
War guerillas. who numbered Jesse

By the Associated Press.

Secretary Hull reiterated the Amer
lean Governments view today that
japanese bombing of -combatant
populations in China is "unwarranted
and contrary to principles of law
and humanity"
The Secretary Of States statement
was made at his press conference in
commenting on the action of the
Japan for its persistent aerial attacks
on large civilian centers in China.
Thus, indirectly, Hull placed this
Governments formal stamp of ap-
proval on the Leagues action.

The State Department has been
informed by the American Minister to
Switzerland of the text of the resolu-
tion unanimously adopted on Septem-
Der q by the Advisory Committee of
the League of Nations on the subject
of aerial bombardment of japanese
air forces of open towns in China.
The American Government, as has
been set forth to the japanese Gov
ernment repeatedly and especially in
this Governments note of September
%, holds the view that any general
bombing of any extensive area wherein
there resides large populace engaged
in peaceful pursuits is unwarranted
and contrary to principles of law and
of humanity"

 Now, what are we going to do about it? Well, first, MT. Adams wants to give the low-income people a little more of the long green all of us are chasing. But that is not all of it, by jugful.
 T believe an educational pro- gram to teach low-income people how to advantageously use their in- come, will also have a stabilizing effect on economic. security. And the economic security of any coun- try is dependent to a certain ex- tent upon the economic security of it's citizens"
 So, you see, the bold bad Com munists couldn't solve our problem just by giving the underdog a big ger share in our wealth. What we have got to do if we raise every body's salary is to teach people how to spend their money with one eye on the poor house.
