Kansas City, Sept. 29-(AP)-With-

man committee to carry on it's battle
against any attempt to "re-make" the
Supreme Court.
The report of a special committee
which had warned the association that

to change the Supreme Court, was
adopted by a record-breaking attend
ance of the bar group. No opposition
was expressed in the general meeting.
No discussion followed the lengthy
report of Sylvester Smith, Jr., of
Fhillipsburg, N. j., chairman of the
special committee, which had called
on the bar to maintain itself in
readiness to meet (Supreme Court
proposals) issues as they may occur,
rather than to rely on impromptu or
CARNATIONS for the purpose"
The seven-man commission was en-
powered by todays vote to report to
the association on any proposed chan
ges in the country's judicial system. If
court alterations are brought up in
the next Congress, today's vote au-
thorized a referendum of the bar as
ISOLATION, the results of which would
serve as instructions to the commits

To President

Washington, Sept. 29.-(AP)-Attor-
ney General Cummings said today the
judicial conference report, which re-
commended appointment tof 16 new

tulation" to a major part of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's court reorganization
program.

port, prepared by Chief Justice
Hughes, Cummings said at his press
conference:
''The report is intensely interesting
to me, and extraordinarily gratifying.
1t represents concurrence on the part
of the judicial conference on nearly
all the (President's) suggestions
Therefore, I am naturally well pleas
ed with it.
"The major matter which stressed,
which the conference approved, was
the necessity of speeding up the pro-
cess of our courts, providing addi-
tional judges for the purpose of re-
lieving the congestion Of our courts"
The last objective, he said, was zone
of the major points in the Presidents
court reform program"
Cummings said the recommendation
for four more circuit court judges and
IL additional district judges was the
most drastic recommendation made
by the conference.
He said he would ask Congress to
enact legislation to provide for them.
'"These additional judges are need
ed,' Cummings commented. why
Because the courts are behind in their
work. On that issue it is complete
capitulation to the proposition that
additional Federal judges eyre need
ed and a welcome one"
Regional associations of peanut pro-
ducers recently organized were au-
thorized to administer the program

today on plan to bring Italy into full

~tamp piracy from the Mediterranean.
The plan will be signd Ky the tech

ference has been working since Mon
day on a plan to grant Italian de-
nnands for complete parity with Great

The patrol scheme gave fleets OF
the three nations separate zones to
protect waters in which they are most
interested individually
In the western Mediterranean Italy
was allotted the Tyrhanian sea a.
round Sardinia, as we'll as her own ex-
tensive coast line, and France was
given the Observation-Disclosures sea lane,
that connects France with her North
African possessions. In the eastern
Mediterranean the Italian zone cover

Britain was assigned patrol of the
Aegean Sea, and France the coast of
Syria. All three zones were marked
out to extend east to the Suez Canal,
since all three powers are interested
in keeping open that gateway to the
cast.
If ratified by the three participant
ing powers the agreement would end
