Representative Hatton w. Sum-
ners, D., Tex, huose judiciary
chairman in charge of President
Roosevelt's court reorganization
plan, said in n speech yesterday
that supreme court justices who
elect to retire would be cooper
ating with their government"
Summers sought to refute init
nations made by two prominent
opposition senator's that a Jurist
who left the bench at "this par
ticular time" would lose public re-
spect. Senator Hiram w. Johnson,
r., Calf, charged that the admin
istration was seeking to lure
justices from the bench, and Sem
ator Edward X. Burke, D., Neb.,
backed him up.
But the Texas representative,
a frequent White House visitor
since Mr.. Roosevelt sent his spe-

argued that this Interpretation
was unfair" and that no justice
should fear the loss of public re-
spect if he retired.
Summers remarks came as Sen
