SENATOR CHARGES
APPO|NTEE PLOT
Smathers Says Naming of
Black Frustrated Plan to
Delay Nominations.

~ the Associated Press.
Senator Smathers, Democrat, OF
New Jersey charged today that at
the time Hugo L. Black was nominated
to the Supreme Court there was a
''plot" among some Senators to delay
for at least two years the confirma-
ton of any appointment made by
President Roosevelt.
The plot" was made, Smathers
said, by Senators who believed the
President would name a "so-called
brain truster" to the court. The
nomination of Senator Black, Demo-
crat. of Louisiana took them COM
pletely by surprise and cut away the
ground beneath their feet" he said.
In fact, he said, Blacks selection
$50 completely frustrated the plot"
that participants were willing to
enter into anything for revenge" and
out Of their bitterness grew the at
tacks on Black after his appointment
was confirmed.
Defends Qualifications.
THE attackers know very we'll that
Justice Blacks judicial qualifications
are not assailable," Smathers said
"They also know there is no legal
ground, or other good reason, for re-
moving Justice Black from the Su-
preme Court.
The attackers have no hope of do
ing so; therefore the attack is made in
the hope of hurting President Roose-
welt and embarrassing the admins
tration
mo good can be accomplished by
the attack. Justice Black will not be
foolish enough to resign. President
Roosevelt will not be foolish enough to
demand his resignation when there is
no legal or other good reason there
for"
Described as Publicity.
Smathers said he held no brief for
the Ku Klux Klan and added he
thought the attack on Justice Black
was "a lot of silly, foolish publicity
having for its sole purpose the thought
that it may embarrass the President
and the administration"
Smathers said he had worked with
Justice Black and knew him to be a
man of ability. honor and integrity
and free Of all prejudice and bigotry
that is ascribed to Klansman"
If there is to be an investigation.
why not let us have an investigation of
the entire Supreme Court? 1t may be
that some of the members of the court
have at one time held membership in
the Klan. or some other Objectionable
organizations, SO that if there is to be
an investigation and action, I, for one
will take the position that the entire
court should be investigated and it
may be that some of the reactionary
members of the court may be removed
from the court for the same reason
that is now advanced for removing
Justice Black"
Smathers said the Ku Klux Klan
Is dead"

There was an Autumn chill In the air,

In his address the President said:
Predicted through broader use OF

the building up OF smaller commun-
tiles.
Promised a definitely balanced"
budget by the next fiscal year-July
/, 1888.

with Canada on this project was re-
jected by the Senate several years ago.

Readyocated better land use and
conservation of water resources.
Regional Commissions.
Denied his proposal would set up
all powerful authorities which would
destroy State lines, take away local
government and make what people
call totalitarian or authoritarian or
some other kind of a dangerous ma
tional centralized control" :
Most people realize" he said on the
latter point. that the exact opposite
Is the truth-that regional commits
sions will be far more closely In touch
with the needs OF all the localities
and all the people in their respective
regions than system Of plans which
originate in the capital Of the Ma
ton"
After predicting every community in
the Columbia Basin would be wholly
electrified in the not far distant fu-
ture. he added:
1T is because 1 am thinking of the
Nation and the region SO years from
now that I venture the further
prophecy that as time passes we will
do everything in our power to en-
courage the building up of the smaller
communities Of the United States.
To-day many people are beginning
to realize that there is inherent weak
ness in cities which become too large
and inherent strength in a wider
geographical distribution of popula-
ton.
Problems of Cities.
An over-large city inevitably meets
problems caused by oversize. Real
estate values and rents become too
high; the time consumed in going
from ones home to ones work and
back again becomes excessive; con-
gestion Of streets and other transpor-
tation problems arise; truck gardens
disappear because the backyard is too
small; the cost of living Of the average
family rises far too high"

The japanese railroad advance in
North China was said to have occupied
the town of Sinlo, capturing a Chi

cars. The area was claimed to be
filled with Chinese soldiers fleeing to

fallen capital of Hopeh Province.
japanese troops, munitions, horses
and food stuffs continued to pour
into North China in unending COL

war. The French military authorities
estimated the North China expedition

to the 10000 being modified in Korea

Japan's forces in the Shanghai Sec

through a study of mullet to gain
information Of value relating to
the possibilities of other fish adapt

Recent interest was aroused in
the matter by the reports that strip
ed bass had been seen along the
northwest shore. Taft sent rep

after considerable difficulty, sue

which turned out to be mullet. They
ranged in size from six inches to
foot or more in length. They
were observed along five mile
shore line.
In communication to Hays, Taft
stated, THE interesting question
now arises as to whether the null

Public school music, its aims,

was the topic discussed by Lem
McCarty, music supervisor for Gen.

at the Rotary club meeting Thurs
day noon.
In teaching music in the public
schools pupils may be divided into
two large groups, said the speaker,
the performers and the listeners.
Instruction in technical skill and
understanding is necessary for the
performers, while for the listeners,
instruction should emphasize meth
ods of listening to music intelligent
ly so that students develop an un-
derstanding which gives them a
real enjoyment and appreciation of
music.
