while the 10-year plan provision had
been stricken. he suggested that Of
ficials and private citizens of the
Territory cooperate on a plan which
could be carried out over approx
mately that period.
President Roosevelt already has
asked Delegate Dimond with the aid
of U. S. Senator Schwellenbach OF
Washington and other officials to
prepare such program for sub

This is a wonderful opportunity
for the people of Alaska to parti-

of the Territory on a wide scale,
said Chairman Heintzleman, COM
menting on the news. With such
cooperation from the President,
every public official and Alaskan

together a comprehensive plan that
will bring the Territory into its
own"
Delegate Dimond in his message
suggested special emphasis be
placed on airports and roads, but
that the general plan should include
every possibility that will be advan-
tageous in developing Alaska's COM
merce and industrial activity.

Dynamite in Court Bill
Charge of Bar Association Discussed as Measure
Enters Second Phase

in mind. We should foresee something
like this:
The President (the present Presi-
dent or a future one) addresses the
Chief Justice thus: There is q case in
the New York district which 1 want
decided in favor OF the Government.
So won't you please take one of these
new Judges I appointed in Chicago
and send him to New York? Tell him
to take the case away from the regu-
lar New York judges and try it him.
self and get verdict in favor Of the
Government"
Can we really imagine that hap
pening? Apparently the New York
Bar Association is able to imagine it.
I don't know whether to think it is
credible, or just fantastic nonsense.
And if it is credible. if this pos
sibility really exists in the Presidents
bill, did it just happen? Or did the
writer OF the bill, presumably one Of
the Presidents intimate advisers, real
ly enVisage and intend this result,
and cunningly write a bill designed to
bring it about? The most disturbing
question is why the new judges, here
after appointed" should be given
different status from existing judges,
with a changed method of assignment.
Says Worse Could Happen.
If the suppositious case I have cited
could happen, then worse could hap
pen. A President the present one
or future one) could direct that
one of his judges be assigned to try
particular case and to find 4 de-
fendant guilty on the ground that the
defendant is politically or personally
disliked by the President. Hes an
anti-New Dealer; find him guilty and
give him the works" Or, in the case
of a future President: Find him
innocent: he's a good guy and he
gave $4,000 to the Republican cam
paign fund"
l ask again: Is this credible? Or
is the bar associations charge, with
its implications, mere fantastic nom
sense?
Unfortunately for Mr.. Roosevelt,
those who wish TO believe the sus-
picion will be moved by some of the
circumstances with which he has sur
rounded his whole attempt to change
the courts. In his launching of the at
tempt there was an apparently studied
effort not to reveal it's portentousness.
1t caused MIR. Walter Lippmann to
say misleading" coup d'etat";; and
the Baltimore Sun to say deceptive,
AN intent to deceive; and the Scripps-
Howard newspaper to say too clever,
too damned clever; and Mr. William
Allen White to speak of the Presi-
dents instructive indirection." and
Miss Dorothy Thompson Indignantly
to ask must we examine every mes
sage from the President to see wheth-
er there is a trick in it SomeWhere?"
Also, many of the Presidents words
and actions over a period of years
suggest that he really does not con-
ceive Of courts as independent insti-
tuuons; he seems actually to think
the courts ought to do what the Presi-
dent wants. And. finally, it is fact
that many bills written by New Deal
ers contained purposes or effects not
revealed until after Congress had un-
knowingly passed them.
