FDR COURT PROGRAM
ATTACKED BY RABBI

Washington, April 81 (AP)-
Rabbi William F. Roeblum of
New York called the Roosevelt
court bill today impractical, i'm
periouh and impetous."
America must be kept safe
from crackpots and those in the
lunatic fringe" he said in a
statement prepared for the Sen
ate judiciary hearings. "a sup
RENE judiciary is the rock of
ages against which demagouery
and dictator alike will be dashed
to pieces" =.
Characterizing the bill as ga
vicious ecpousal of an idea that
does not hold water" Rabbi Ro-
senblum said he objected to the
character of the change propos
ed, X X X the impishness of the
plan, and the danger to democ-
racy which any modification in
the way now suggested entails. -

Senator Ayers Politicians Fear
Inquiry
ASSAILS "CHARLATANS"
:. Asserts No Way To Tell
Whether FDR Relief Re-
quest Reasonable or Not

dSnlnSCOn, April ~ \Af)-
Senator Rush D. Holt, West Vir-
ginia Democrat, demanded to-
day a Thorough investigation
of relief" He declared sit is
time the fakery of these charla-
tans is exposed"
He said mo one can say with
accuracy" whether the $780,
100000 President Roosevelt ask
ed for relief "is too little or too
much" ..
Holt, who broke with his COL
league, Senator M. Nicely, also
a Democrat, on relief activity,
said i'm a statement: "Time and
money have gone, and still no
one knows the details of the re-
Asf picture. e .
Hiding behind the hunger
and need of unfortunates, many
politicians fear such an inquiry
because their house is not in Or
der and they cannot stand the
search.
Again and again the federal
relief authorities come asking
for money, yet fight an investi-
cation to determine where and
how the money has been spent.
"When one makes suggest
ton for the investigation of re-
lief needs he is met with the ar
gument that we do not have
time, that we have to appropri-
ate money now because people
will be hungry unless the money
is forthcoming in a hurry. Then
after the appropriation is made
one is met with the argument of
let us wait until the next appro-
priation bill comes-co developc
an endless chain of disposing of
am honest, thorough investigat-
ion into our relief needs"
Holt declared sit is certain
that many who need aid are re-
fused, where many who do not
need relief are given jobs. 1t is
known that much of the money
has been spent to build political
machines"
He added "the hunger politi-
cal boss is fed, but hungry, for
gotten men must run the gaun-
tlet of red tape to try to get en-
ough to furnish family with
the bare necessities of life"
"Our federal relief policy has
been ever changing with the
whims and fancies of those who
administer the fund. 1t has
been one of blind cropping coupl-
ed with a degree of self-satisfi
ed know everything"
Suggestion, unless those of
approval, are met with cold
shoulder. Billions have been
spent with prevalence of waste
and politics" %.
81 do not condemn many con-
scientious officials" Holt said.
"but direct my remarks to the
ward healers who are on the pay
roll taking money from hungry
men, women and children.
