FOUR SOLUTIONS
TO JUDICIARY ROW
President Seems to Prefer
One Which Holds Fight
Is Due to Personnel.
BY CHARLES S. COLLIER,
Iyv1iuRrStty

How can a reconciliation be enecteo
between the constitutional doctrines
and the accepted ideals OF the Judiciary
on the one hand and the progressive
movements in contemporary political
opinion on the other? Four CHIEF
solutions can be suggested.
The first solution is essentially that
politics should surrender to the law.
The second is that the law should
surrender to politics. The third is that
politics and law should work together
bv the method Of securing constitu-
tional amendments The fourth Is that
politics and the law be harmonlzed
bv altering the judicial personnel,
Let us consider each Of these So
lutionS.
First. it may be said that the task
of reconciliation must be left entirely
TO the judiciary itself; that the judges
must be the final arbiters as to the
boundary line between law and politics,
and that where the judges hnd that
one of the new Socially-motlVateo
measures trenches upon constitutional
traditions, this ruling should be abso-
utely final. and should be perma-
nently acquiesced in by all parties.
This view. extreme as 1t seems, rep
resents essentially the actual position
Of many conservatives in the current
dispute, for while opponents OF the
President state frequently that they
would be willing to accept constltu-
tional amendments to validate New
Deal legislation, yet this concession
seems purely argumentative. 1t does
not represent their real view as TO
what should actually be done.
Position Seems UnsOund.
The fundamental position above de-
scribed seems unsound, for the reason
that it does not allow sufficiently for
the factor of social and economic
change which may require correspond
ing legal and constitutional changes.
As Dean Pound has we'll expressed 1t,
Law must be stable, and yet it can
not stand still We need both sta
bility and change. and 1t seems that
we need them both at the same time.
The principal factor in producing legal
change under our contemporary Amer
lean conditions is legislation by popu-
larly elected assemblies. The political
forces that lie behind these assemblies
demand changes of a fundamental
nature throughout the whole sphere OF
economic relations. 1t seems psyche
logically impossible that these forces
should be entirely dissipated by Sc
ries of hostile judicial announcements
It would be most harmful TO the men,
tai and political health of the Nation
II these powerful forces were wholly
frustrated and prevented from achlev-
ing their objectives under legally ad-
mitted forms. There is limit TO the
price that men will pay for law and
order" The new social forces must
receive some measurable satisfaction
and this demands important changes
either in the constitutional text or in
constitutional Interpretation, or in
both. It cannot be expected that these
changes will be sanctioned as mat
ter of constitutional Interpretation by
the present controlling judicial groups
II they remain true to themselves. The
solution of the fundamental conflict
cannot, therefore, be left to the work
Of the judiciary itself. as at. present

The real ground for the loud
alarums on the part Of critics OF the
Presidents proposal Is not that the
new justices whom he Is likely 10
appoint will be less objective on the
whole in their opinions than the
present incumbents, but rather that
the subjective and personal factors,
which are never entirely absent, and
which appear actually to have de-

will henceforth lead the justices in
q different, and somewhat less con.

HEARING OPENS
ON LICENSING
ACTIVITIES
Tremendous Racket
In Permit Transfer
And Sale Cited

The District Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board was put on the
spot" today by a special subcom-
mittee of the House District Com
mittee.
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Vincent L. Palmi,
sano CD, of Maryland, launched
an inquiry into activities Of the
ABC Board with public hearing,
at which Mrs. Agnes K. Mason,
board member, was the principal
witness.
Charges of "favoritiSm" in the
issuance and suspension Of liquor
licenses were hurled at the board
by members of the subcommittee.
FavOritism Charged
Representative Palmisano de-
clared it appeared the board had
"resorted to favoritism" in a
special case in which one license
was revoked after the board had
made an error in issuing it, and
another license issued under SINH
lar circumstances was permitted
to be transferred.
The law itself was described as
dangerous" by Representative
Leon Sacks G.J, of Pennsylvania,
when 1t was brought out that IL
censes sometimes were revoked or
suspended on thetestimony of one
or two agents of the board that
liquor had been sold to a customer
under the influence of liquor. Rep
resentative Sacks said:
"There are many degrees of
drunkenness. 1t seems to me
that this is a dangerous law If it
permits the board to revoke or
suspend a license on the simple
testimony of one or two persons"
DEFENDS BOARDS ACTION
Mrs. Mason defended the board,
pointing out that public hearings
were held in all suspensions and
revocations. She told the subcom-
mittee there was "a tremendous
racket in the traffic of licenses"
and that prices asked for licenses
in their sale or transfer were Tex
orbitant."
Representatives Palmisano and
Sacks expressed the opinion sew
eral times during the hearing
that it appeared as though the
ABC board was at times "jeopar-
dizing" the business Of liquor
dealers by their methods Of Sus-
pensions and revocationS.
The hearing was continued until
next Thursday.

part Of Democratic Senators who
three months ago, when Mr.. Roose-
welt submitted his plan, were
counted certainly in the Roosevelt
column.
Illustrative Of this were the
switches this week of Senators
O'Mahoney of Wyoming and Hatch
of New Mexico, two Senators who
have been close to the Administra-
ton, and who owe their election,
in large part, to Mr.. Roosevelt'S
popularity in their respective
States.
1t is yet too early to say
whether the President will win or
lose his court fight, but it is signi-
ficant that for the first time since
the matter was preached last Feb
ruary the leaders are now acutely
apprehenSive, and quietly are ad-
vocating a compromise. None of
them had any doubt three months
ago but that Mr.. Roosevelt would
get what he wanted. Now they
are not so certain.
There is more and more talk on
Capitol Hill among the leaders of
a compromise that would permit
Mr.. Roosevelt to name two new
justices instead of five. And the
opposition is now so cocky they
predict with confidence they can
defeat even that compromise. Ad-
miniStration leaders deny that and
assert a two-judge program would
go through, even in the face Of
an all-Summer filibuster such as
Senator Burton K. Wheeler of
Montana asserts the opposition is
prepared to stage.
Relief Figure Argued
Mr.. Roosevelt himself is partly
responsible for the revolt over ex-
penditureS. He threw out some
strong economy hints when
Government revenues this year
failed to come lip to Treasury
estimates, on which his January
budget was based. 1t gathered
the momentum Of a SNOWFALL on a
downhill grade.
Blocs in both Houses, led by
Democrats, are demanding that
the Federal Relief bill be trimmed
by one-third. or 500 million dollars.
In his budget message, Mr.. Roose-
vet asked for 81 500, 100000
There is preponderant Senti-
ment in both houses for cutting
this figure to a cool billion, and
some of the more pronounced
economizers want it cut Squareiy
in half. Harry L. Hopkins, Fed
eral Relief Administrator, asserts
he cannot get by on that, or, in
fact, on anything less than the
billion and a half asked.
The sentiment of the House was
demonstrated by the action OF an
appropriations Subcommitte in
actually cutting the relief bill to
a billion. This may yet be over
turned by the full committee and
the 1900, 200, 900 restored. But it
will be q tight Sqlleeze In the f1lllp

and made the sweeping charges.
He contends that there is cor

flee, that police suppressed
evidence in connection with the
Jordan case, ana that Justice F..
Dickinson Let's, in whose court
the Jordan case has been held,
was guilty of misconduct during
the trial because he admitted
improper evidence.
Holzworth asserted that he has
evidence to prove his contentious
and that this evidence deals not
only with the Jordan case, but
with other cases which have been
tried in the District.
On the basis Of his statement,
the committee yesterday, follow
ing an executive session, agreed
to the appointment of the Palmi-
sano subcommittee to hold exec
utive hearings and to report back
to the full committee as to
whether or not the full commit
tee should begin a sweeping in
vestigation of prosecuting ma
chinery and the police depart
ment of the city.
Representative Mary T. Norton
Cd, Of New Jersey, chairman of
the District Committee, said that
the PalmfSano subcommittee will
not only hear HolZworth'S evidence,
but will take testimony from other
witnesses who, she said, have come
to her With similar grievances.
She explained that the commit
tee decided to have the Palmisano
subcommittee take its testimony
in executive session because "all
we have to date is the statements
of these individual persons who
make these charges" She said
the subcommittee can call any
other witnesses it decides, but 1t
is doubtful that during this pre-
liminary probe the subcommittee
will hear anyone but Holzworth
and the others who have such
charges to make.
It will then be the duty Of the
subcommittee to decide whether or
not the Holzworth and other
charges appear to be justified,
and if so will report to the full
committee that a general inVeStiga.
