1t was one of the most interesting
to a general audience. He discussed
domestic problems-the reorganiza-
ton OF the Government, the Consti-
tuition, and that live question, the
supreme Court. His talk on Hitler's
Germany was fair and informative
rather than critical. He spoke from
observation and a more intimate
knowledge, as he had represented the
New York Evening Post in Germany
and Austria and in 1885 spent the
Summer in Europe, where he made
careful Investigations of the actual
conditions in Germany under the Hit
Ter regime. Having toured Canada.

Australia for the New York Times, he

 PROPOSALS
(By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C. March 10 President Roosevelt called for swift enactment of his court re- organization bill Tuesday night ito save the constitution from the Supreme Count, and the Court from itself"
 In outspoken fashion the chief executive asserted that Americas highest tribunal had Improperly set itself up as a super legisla- ture", and had read into the con- stitution, words of implication which were not there, and which never were intended to be there".
 At the same time he disavowed any intention to pack the Court with "spineless puppets who dis regard law" and decide cases as he might wish them decided.
 He asserted the processes of a constitutional amendment were too slow for the pressing prob lemS of the day.

His address, "a fireside chat" was delivered from the small ov- al room on the ground floor of the White House.
 We must find a way to take an appeal from the Supreme Court to the Constitution itself.
 We want a judiciary which will do justice under the consti- tuition, not over it. In our courts we want a government of laws, not of men,
 q want, as all Americans want, an independent judiciary, as pro- posed by the framers of the con- stitution, and that means a Sup reme Court that will enforce the constitution as Written-that will refuse to amend the constitution by the arbitrary exercise of jul dicial power, thus an amendment by jud .cial say so. It does not mean judiciary so independent that it can deny the existence of facts, universally recognized"

JUNEAU, March 10, - By a vote of II to 5 the House passed the Rivers liquor bill which pro- vides for making statutory, the present regulations, with some new changes to eliminate causes of complaints, one of which is that the District Court will issue the licenses instead of the liquor board.

Attorney Gen. Talks Judiciary
 Comm. on Bill
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 WASHINGTON, D. c. March 10 Attorney General Homer s. Cum- mings pleaded before the senate judiciary committee for the ad- option of the Roosevelt court bill. as q means of injection of "new blood" into the judiciary and to avoid tortured construc- tion of the constitution.
 He said: "the proposed increase in the number of judges was not for the purpose of enslaving the judiciary nor was it for the pur- pose of making it an adjunct to executive purposes. It is to re- juvenate judicial machinery and speed justice. besides giving to the courts men with a fresh out look who can restrain from in- fringing upon the powers of con- gress."
 He listed four pillars upon which he said the plan for reor- ganizing the judiciary rests-lst an impossible situation created by the reckless use of injunctions in restraining the operation of federal laws: 2nd the presence on the federal bench of aged or in- firm justices crowded the condi- tion of the federal dockets and delays in the lower courts were a heavy burden to impose upon

Court Fight Has
 Clear-cut Lines
 Opinion Voiced
(By The Associated Press)


 WASHINGTON, D. C., March If Roosevelt wins what he calls "the fight of my life," to revamp the supreme court, he will win with the air of the liberal mem- bers of congress and with the aid of many other members who are not progressive but are democrats and for one reason or another will decide to stand behind the President.
 Liberal and conservative lines are being drawn. There would not be the slightest doubt as to the outcome if a bloc of conser- vative democratic senators were girding themselves in opposition. On the other hand, Roosevelt would have to resign himself to defeat if he had to depend solely on liberal and progressive mem- bers who were not sWayed by possibilities of patronage or other attractions attaching to party Joy alty.
 Whether or not true liberals should stand against the plan on the ground that it is forerunner of dictatorship and fascisun is at least a debatable point. The cold fact is that the battle will be one between conservatives and liber- als in the sense that Washington knows those groups, always re- membering that Roosevelt com mands . certain percentage of democrat support which he can swing in with the liberals.
 High Gees to Doghouse
 It will be instructive at this point to bring up the incident of Dr. Stanley High, who was pub. 1icly and obviously-although not by name-rebuked by Roosevelt because of an article in a weekly magazine whose editors proclaim ed him as a "close" presidential advisor. He had confidently fore cast . complete break between Roosevelt and such administra- ton leaders as Vice President Jack Garner, Senate Majority Leader Joe Robinson, Senator Pat Harrison and other southern and northern conservative democrats.
 High was correct in so far as he tagged the bulk of the south ern democrats as conservatives who look askance at Roosevelt's New Deal. But this assertion of that much truth was only one mistake he made. Southern dem ocrats such as Robinson knew High as one who helped write presidential campaign speeches and had intimate conferences with Roosevelt since the election. They

WOULD BROADEN THE PLAN
FOR FLOOD CONTROL

With the object in view to broad
en- the plan suggested for flood con-
troll, as originally designed for the
Ohio watershed by bills introduced
by Congressman Secrest and Senator
Bulkley, new legislation has been
prepared and introduced by the two
Ohio law makers named, and by Sem
ator Barclay of Kentucky, which
would extend the program to at
least seven of the larger territories
of the United States. The plan
would be to provide each watershed
with a separate authority and each
to operate as unit in a central
plan that would carry the program
for food prevention, water conserva-
ton and reclamation work to the
parts Of the country where the need
is deemed great. The Ohio author
ity would include the entire water
shed, with the exception of the Ten
nessee valley, which is already
created and under way,

DEAN. RALPH OGAN VISITING
VARIOUS COLLEGES

Ralph w. Ogan, dean Of Mus
kingum college, and professor of ed
ucation Of that college, left last
week on trip which took him to
the campuses of several mid-westerE
colleges. The trip covered nine days,
and he plans to return today to New
Concord. He visited De Pauw uni
versity, Wabash, Knox, Park, Law
renee, and Rockford colleges. Dean
Ogan who has many relatives and
friends in this county, is one of the
outstanding educators Of this state.
In the year 1924 he graduated from
Muskingum college: received his
Masters degree from Ohio State
university in the year 1925, and his
Phi. D. degree from the same college
in 1880. For a time he was spe-
cialist in higher education employ
ed by the United States bureau OF
education. The high scholastic
standing Of Muskingum college is
due in NO small degree. to Dean
Ogan. He is a comparatively young
man, and this paper predicts for him
still higher honors in his chosen
profession.
