The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-19

authors of the scaldinS report of ] the Senate Judiciary Committee, will speak on the night of 6eptern- Der le. The President will follow him on the air the next night.
 Both speeches nominally will ba in coinHf1emoration of the l50tn anniversary of the signing of the Constitution, and on the surface will have no relation to each other. Actually, however, the two na- tional leaders will engage in a forensic duel.
 Borah plans to devote much of his address to e defense of his opposition to the defeated court bill. The Presidents speech will be in the nature of a reply to the attacks on the bill. Also, if he follows the advice of his more militant counseiors, he will serve notice on his foes that he has not abandoned the program and intends to return to the wars at an opportune moment.
 New Court Fight
 The President definitely expects to renew the court fight next ses- sion. What form his move will take has not been decided, but some attempt to revive his far- reaching scheme Is certain.
 Borah will speak under the auspices of the Masons. The or. organizations original plan was to have the President and . member of the Supreme Court talk on the same program. Roosevelt declined on the ground that he was alIeady dated up, and no Justice would accept the invitation.
 The Presidents speech will be under the joint auspices of the U. s. Constitution Sesquicentennial Commission and the Good Neigh Dor league which campaigned for him last year. The Leagues die rector, Stanley High, recently re. signed, and c drive is now under way to enlarge its membership. Well.Founded Story

Nevertheless, the newsmen who reported that packers of Judge Jeremiah T. Ma honey, anti.Tammany democrat, were seeking Roosevelt's support, had plenty of authority for their stories.
 Their source of information was none other than Edward ,. Flynn. Bronx boss and chief Mahoney sponsor.
 Emerging from his conference with the President at Hyde Park, Flynn intimated to correspondents, with . knowing smile, that Roosc. welt was in his mans corner in the battle.royal among Mayor LaQuardia, Senator Copeland and MAhoney. The newsmen, natural ly, did not hesitate to "shoOt Che works with . story coming from such an authoritative quarter.
 Their reports in next morning's papers infuriated the President. He summoned them and read them . caustic lecture on "gossip mongering" and spreading "false runors". As the rebuke was of the record" the reporters had to take 1t and say nothing.

 AStute Politician
 Senator Henry Cabot Lodge $ only 35 years old, but some of his veteran republican colleagues could profitably take some les- sons fro mhim in political acu- men. The tall. handsome, Massa. chusetts blue-blood is missing few tricks in entrenching himself with his constituents.
 While the rest of the <. Q. D.
 contingent in the senate voted against the wage.hour regulation
 bill, despite the party's 1886
