Court by slow motion and get the
same results"
Referring to the speech delivered by
Senator Guffey Of PENNSYLVANIA
charging the Supreme Court with
playing politics, Senator Wheeler said: !:
In violent attack upon the Chief
Justice of the United States one of
the proponents of the bill called him
terrible politician. If it is such bad
thing to put politician on the Su-
preme Bench. why should all of the
members of the Senate have Joined in
TO recommend our distinguished Dem
ocratic leader for place on the court?
This attack on Chief Justice Hughes
III becomes the Senator who made it,"
WHO Packed Hughes?"
Going back to the days when
Hughes was confirmed as Chief Justice
by the Senate. Wheeler showed that
Senator Ashurst. chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, and a leading
supporter of the court bill. had voted
for the confirmation of Hughes. He
showed that Senators Barkley of Ken
lucky. Harrison of Mississippi Wagner
OF New York and many other Demo-
Gratis in the Senate had then voted
for Hughes.
The distinguished Democratic
leader OF the Senate was then in Lon
don attending naval conference, ="
said Wheeler. He cabled back asking
to be paired in favor of the conflrma-
t'on OF Mr.. Hughes. If Hughes was
terribly bad man then, why did these
Democrats vote for his confirmation?
Who packed him on the Supreme
Court?
Every Democrat and every Repub-
hcan voted for the confirmation Of
Associate Justice Roberts.
Who packed him on the Supreme
Court? The Senate of the United
States confirmed these members of
the court and had a hand in packing
them on the court"
Senator Wheeler, although he per-
mltted the Senate to concur in some
amendments made by the House on
SpS-
sion today, declined to permit Sena-
tor Pope to introduce bill. Wheeler
said that he would permit the trans
action OF no business as long as the
administration leaders insisted upon
invoking the rules to limit debate on
the court bill.
President Shuns Amendment.
Meanwhile, President Roosevelt
told press conference today he was
not considering sponsorship of a con-
stfutional amendment for compulsory
retirement of Supreme Court justices

He also gave a negative answer to
. question as to whether he was con-
kidering a plan to limit the terms of
such justices.
