Albert G. Robert, 1929 White

Bureau in Washington, that he
has been appointed as messenger

Mr.. Roberts said this morning

went to the Marine Hospital and
passed the physical examination,
complied with other instructions
and now was ready.
Asked what the first pay was
he replied that the initial pay is
1880 annually or $50 a month,
but as he had seen service in the
United States Marine Corps, he
felt satisfied that he would soon
be advanced to higher rating.
Just a short time ago Mr.. Rob-

army, he said, but decided that
he would wait few days before
signing up, as he felt that some
thing better was in store for him.

WOULD SEP RATE
! COURT PROPOSAL
INTO TWO PARTS
INDIANA SENATOR IS FAVOR
ABLE TO HANDLING ISSUE
IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS:
OPPOSITION STRATEGY
By PRESTON GROVER
ny Assncfnfed Prensl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-
Some of those who will oppose
President Roosevelt In his court
reorganization proposal were glad
he came forward with a scheme to
expand the court rather than with
some of the alternative suggested
earlier.
They sense it will be an easier
issue to fight than a plan to take
away the courts authority to pass
on certain classes of legislation, or
any scheme for requiring a major
lily of seven of the nine justices
before any congressional act
could be held unconstitutional.
Senator Van Mugs, Indiana DEM
.ocrat, advanced what may be part
lof the opposition strategy. He pro-
posed to separate the Presidents
proposal into two parts, Supreme
Court appointments in one, ali the
rest of the judiciary reform in the
other. Van Mugs has worked be-
fore with Senator Borah.. who is
expected to head the opposition.
He is not a Porah tag-along, just
has some of the same ideas.
One Idea Liked
Administration leaders won't
take to the Van Mugs idea sitting
down. The President wasn't being
haphazard when he wrapped the
Supreme Court program in the
sugar coating of court reform.
Right off, most of his opposi-
! ton liked the proposal for quick
appeals to the Supreme Court
from district courts on important
constitutional issues. Often it is
done now. sFhis would make il
certain. Rarely does an important
constitutional isgue stop with the
circuit court, so going that path
/ is waste motion.
! As Court Friend
! As to the Presidents proposal
that the government have the
right to intervene in private liti.
cation involving acts of congress
by practice it has that right now
Rarely does a court refuse the
government the right of of COM
ing in as a ''friend of the court, >
under which banner it can fight
on either side it chooses.
/; Some of the Presidents critic.
felt that in advocating court ex.
pansion he was backing away
from a constitutional amendment
fearful of breaking down the fed
eral-state relationship. After all
Mr.. Roosevelt, while governor OF
! New York, did deliver very
earnest states rights address.

Mr.. Pierce told The Citizen that
every so often after bathers had

loss of them would not cause any

Recently there was valuable

soon recovered it. Gloves, ear
rings, bracelets have been found.
and one of the finds which re-
manned for more than week was
a medal, apparently for swimming
suspended from a gold chain,
which is no doubt valuable.
The medal bears a representa-

saw the medal and chain agree
that it is valuable.
Another find was a dainty

Schwind is transplanting leg7

able to regenerate nerve and mus,
Gle activity.
He hopes that some day missing
or diseased legs, arms, lungs, liv-
ers, stomaehs or other parts of the
body may be replaced with healthy
members.
Schwind's method is ike that OF
plastic surgery. Instead of sever
ing a member completely and try
ing to make it grow elsewhere he
makes the transfer in two steps.
Binds Two Together
First he binds the donor ans
recipient together. Then he sewers
half of the leg to be transplanted
unites exposed muscles, nerves
end skin to where he wants them
to grow and lets his work mend
After several days, when the
mending is complete, he cuts of
the leg entirely and ties in the cir
culatory connections and other
muscles and nerves.
Schwind says his success lies ir
the fact that between the first and
second steps the part being trans
planted is kept alive with the don
or's blood. He is not certain if the
blood courses through the two
bodies but he thinks this to be the
case.
