Postmaster General James Farley Speaks At Nor1Dalk

and to name justices to sit with them whose minds are more attuned to the peoples will"
 The President, he said, is trying to get around an obstacle which threatens to block his whole pro- gram which twenty-eight million people endorsed so enthusiastically last November. That program con- templates not only recovery from the worst depression that ever hit this country but the preventing of a recurrence of such Q miserable disaster"
 Addressing several hundred public officials and postmasters from throughout the state. the PoStmas- ter-G General asserted "This Norwalk Federal building which we are now dedicating is symbol of the prac- ticability and the virtue of the New Deal program. It is just one linl fin a chain of the accomplishment by this administration and the full. fillment of the task that seemed hopeless four years ago."
 Farley arrived here by motor iron New York with Assistants Smitf w. Purdum. Prank J. Buckley ans Ambrose O'Connell.
 His visit here preceded by onl day tho annual convention Of tn Connecticut Association Of Post masters and the Connecticut Chap ter. National Association Of Post masters, to he held Thursday q New Haven.

Norwalk, Conn, April 2l-(UP)- Through reform Of the Supreme Court the President hopes ito put younger blood into the life stream of a superanuated tribunal" Post master General James A. Farley said here today as he dedicated the new Norwalk Federal building. "In no other way can the President or Congress be at all confident that such legislation as is necessary to insure the stability of business, to give the national government some power to intervene in the intermin- able conflicts between capital and labor, has any chance of running the gauntlet of the Supreme Court as it is constituted at present" he declared.
 'In all this there Is no question of the scincerity and righteousness of any Supreme Court justice. It mere ly happens that the court as now constituted contains at least four jurists whose views are so frozen that everybody knows that then decisions will always be against anything new. It is not unnatural that men in the twilight of theii lives can see good only in the past and cannot realize that the world does not stand still. Under the con- stiintlon, these justices can remain on the bench as long as they live The only remedy n tO increase tho number of judges. which IS c con stitutional prcrogative of Congress

CLARK GABLE IS PROVING ALIBI
Evidence Presented to Show That He Never
 Was in England

Los Angeles, April 21.-(UP).- The government produced witnesses today to prove that Clark Gable was 8 lumberjack in Washington IS years ago when Mrs. Violet Wells Norton says he was seducing her in her cottage in Billercay, Essex, and becoming the father of her daugh- ter, Gwendoline.
 Mae West also was on call and was expected to become today's star witness for the prosecution. She, like other figures in the movie col ony, received mail and other com- munications from Mrs. Norton and Jack L. Smith, private detective whom the government alleges were using the mails to defraud in ef- forts to get money from Gable.
 'Blinkin 'H0utrage"
 Mrs. Norton listened to Gable testify yesterday and then, in rich cockney accents, expressed what she said was her profound indignation.
 "'Hit's blink 'houtrage," she said. ''That's what it Is, that mother as to 'hendure this in de- fenSe of her own rights and the right of Ter 'hoffspring. I'll see that he tykes care of is own."
 The 47-year-old buxom housewife's double chins trembled as she spoke.
 The movie idol defended his honor in an hours testimony. He denied that he ever was in England; that he ever had seen Mrs. Norton until he came to court; that he knew her daughter, Gwendoline; that he ever used the name Frank Billings.

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, April 21.-CUP)- President Roosevelt led congress in move to kill or curtail approxi- mately $l,O00, 100000 of forgotten man" and flood control legislation today in the first big New Deal economy drive to balance the budget. There was informal discussion among some legislators of an auto matic cut of 10 per cent in all ap- propriat tions at this session of con- gress. That could be achieved by joint resolution making mandatory retroactive reductions. MT. Roose- prefers to exercise his own discre- ton in curtailing expenditures after congress has voted the money.
 Proposed Curtailments
 Pending legislation which prob ably must be modified, postponed or dropped altogether if the presidents economy plan is effected, includes:
 l. Farm tenancy. $l35. 100000.
 3. Education, $l00,000,000.
 3. Low cost housing, $30.000, 900.
 4. Crop insurance, $100,00O,00O.
 5. Flood control, approximately $550, ,000, ,000.
 Reduced treasury income, increas- ed expenditures. 8 weakened bond market and central monetary infla- ton fears moved the president yes- terday to propose economy in a re- vised budget message submitted to congress.
 Almost coincidentally the treasury began borrowing program of $50,- 100000 week which will drive the national debt beyond $35, ,000, ,O00, 900 within a month.

 State Capitol, Hartford, April 2l Especial to The Democrat) = The much discussed and long awaited 1887 judgeship deal will come to a head during the next legislative week, 1t was reliably learned at the Capitol today by the Democrat.
 Democratic members of the Senate caucused late yesterday afternoon and again this morning causing the opening of the Senate to be delayed until after 12:00 o'clock this noon. Several democratic members of the Senate are personally concerned with the minor court judgeShipS which indicates quite strongly that some sort of an agreement will be forthcoming by next week with the governor not having any say in the appointments.
 Deadlock May Result
 There was some beliefs current in the state recently that 8 dead- lock between the Senate and House might throw the minor court ap- pointments into the governors hands for recess nominations, but 1t now appears as if working agreement was about to be consummated in the legislature whereby the system of other years will be perpetuated.
 On authentic information it is al- SO jretty Certain that the agreement will involve ot<merely judgeships but also eight county commissioner ships, including one cacancy occurr- ng in New Haven county.
 Senators Joseph H. Lawlor and George T. Culhane of Waterbury, as well as State Chairman J. Fran cis Smith. were, present at today's caucus. The session was lengthy one with several other matters also being discussed. Another caucus is scheduled for tomorrow or Friday.

 OShawa, Ont, April 21.-(UP)-- First committee for industrial or ganization benefits for 3,7O0 strik- ing workers of General Motors of Canada were expected today as rep resentatives of management and labor prepared for another confer ence to end the walk out.
 The workers were assured that the committees executive council had voted the benefits from its huge war chest at its meeting in Washington yesterday. The assurance that the ample" financial support promised by the committee would be forth coming today quieted some restive- ness among the strikers, it was re- ported.
 No Hopes of Success
 There were no strong hopes that today's scheduled conference would produce 8 settlement or even 8 negotiable basis for settlement. The union membership already has re- jected one settlement plan, previous ly approved by its leadership, that would have increased wages and rec- ognized the union as local organi- ration rather than as c. I. O. affiliate. The question of c. I. O. recognition is practically the only point of disagreement.
