The mayors nonsphrtbhn coTls mittee on redistrieting did c wise thing when 1t decided this week not to seek to mako any changes in the present alignment of vot- ing districts before tho munici. pal election in october, If the committee had decided to make such on attempt it might have resulted in ill.eongiderod action, that would undoubtedly Do later regretted.
 It k understandable that those who favor changes should want them made as quickly as possible but the committee would only jcopardise lts own work # it attempted t0 rush through 6 series of district rc- alIgnments without giving them due and proper considera ton. It is perhaps fortunate for the committee that the deputy reg istrars of voters said it would be e physical impossibillty Co change tho voting lists In lime for the election if district changes were made between now and October. With the pOssl. bility that the districts might be changed before the city elec' ton nov out of the way, tho committee can now give proper attention and study to the site uation before making specific recommendations Co the beard Of aldermen.
 Tho committees task Is an inc portant one. The rights Of some 10000 voters are involved, and whatever district setsup b or. rived at will probably Dc in efs feet for many years to come. The recommendations made by the committee viii naturally come in for close public scrutiny, which iS another reason why the commit tee should Do glad that it did not take any rashly hasty action.

 When Mr. Spellacy became mayor after the death Of John A. Piigard, Hartford republicans prepared for aii sorts of devious and tricky politics. But they were disappointed. for he brought real business efficiency to the Hartford city government and played no partisan politics in his handling of city affairs. Even republicafis ir the state capital admit that Mir. Dpellacy has given the city c good administration.

 Feelings on both sides are greatly aroused and it B already obvious that no persona litios Will be spared once the campaign gets into full swing. .Slinging never docs more than cloud the real issues in any election, but lt seems to go hand. d.in.hand with the American political system. The unfortunate feature b that often mud.slinging does affect votes. for there are more than c few who believe the slandorouB gossip they hear in the course Of . political fight.
 The republicans and inde. pendent democrats base their hopes for victory this year oil defscti0ns from the ranks of the regular democratic organization. Their hope K that the republic can and independent democra. tic forces will hold firm and will be joincd by many democrats. The democratic dofecti0ns will have t0 De on . wholesale scale, however, if the fusion ticket is t0 De victorious. Fusioneers in., sIst that they will receive the support Of many regular dem0- Crats who supported Mayer Hayes two years ago. Democrats scoff at this claim, and counter by expressing the belief that many who supported Major John M. Burrail two years agO viii vote for Mayor Hayes this year. Many republicans, they assert, have no liking for the union with the Independent democrats and will support the present administration at the polls.
 Whatever the outcome Of tho election, the prospects for the lo- col republican organization are not very promising.

Continual and senseless s%crubbing

Radio Interference Nuisance

A letter from a Herald reader pertaining to ra-
do interference was recently printed in the Herald.
1t suggested a proposal whereby considerable radio
interference in the city could be eliminated. The idea
seems feasible.
A. meter reader for the Power company reads
every meter in Plentywood within a period Of a few
days. the letter pointed out. and a checker with a
porta Bile radio could accompany the meter reader and
open each service switch in the entire city and deHn-
itely locate the defective equipment. The expense
would be nominal and from it would undoubtedly
bring about greatly improved radio reception.
Radio interference in Plentywood has been such
that many residents cannot use their radios at all,
and some only at intervals.
STATIC-PRODUCING ELECTRICAL EQUIP
MENT CAN BE FIXED. Eventually ordinances will
be drafted. making it compulsory to have such equip
ment properly equipped with noise eliminators.
1t seems as though it would be to the advantage
OF radio dealers in P~lentywood to take steps to ell
inmate this distortion. The power company which
furnishes electricity should be interested in elimin-
ating the trouble. Plentywood citizens insist that the
nuisance be eliminated as much as possible.
The time for action is NOW.

The kind of merchandising prob

How can we think more about hui

A Packed High Tribunal

The President has asked Congress to increase
the supreme court to a maximum of fifteen judges by
the appointment of a new justice for every justice
over 20 who refuses to quit. The request by the Pres
ident caused a Juror in congressional halls and
brought forth columns of adverse and favorable COM
ment from the press.
The President revived a controversial subject
which has been going on for 129 years.
The supreme court has not in a majority of in
stances favored New Deal legislation. The admins
tration's AAA and the much-discussed NRA were
among legislation outlawed by the high court on
grounds OF infrin cement on the constitution.
The President in his message to Congress
pointed out why an increase in the supreme court
was necessary. Speeding up court action was the
principal reason.
Democrats and Republicans alike hurtled ringing
denunciations of a packed court'-a court which
would enable favorable opinions on legislation. Many
Congressman have expressed favor with the proposed
change.
On seven separate occasions the court has been
squeezed together or expanded, accordion fashion.
The emancipation, Abraham Lincoln. once packed the
high tribunal to get legislation which did much to win
the Civil War for the North. 1t was done without fan
fare or hesitancy. The court in several instances in
the history of the nation has been forbidden to meet,
so it could not hold an act of Congress unconstitu-
tional.
Coming at this time. with cries of Hitlerism,
Mussolini and Red Russia, it is believed that a packed
court is unwise. The New Deal can keep up its con-
structiye and progressive program without such an
aid.
The constitution does not prohibit the addition
OF members to the highest tribunal but additions to
seek favorable decisions strike at the foundation of
constitutional government.
The Herald has been a staunch supporter of the
New Deal and its many progressive policies. 1t will
continue to favor such policies unless they are no
longer in keeping with the will Of the people who
make up the government.
We hesitate, however. to sanction such a plan if
the doctrines Of which this nation has been founded
are placed in jeopardy.

Welcome to the Tournament!

The Herald joins in extending a hearty welcome
to visiting players, coaches and fans here to attend
the fourth annual district tournament. May your visit
in Plentywood be a happy one.
The annual tournament is the outstanding sport
ing event of the year in this district and it has been
made so successful by the attendance of hundreds of
sports enthusiasts at the elimination sessions and the
semi-fnal and final games. Doubtless the game of bas-
ketball is followed by more fans than any other sport
in this part of the state throughout the year, and
support of their favorite teams at the tournament is
final proof of their love of the game.
Tournaments in past years in Plentywood have
been marked by many close and exciting contests,
and this years show promises to be no exception.
There are five or six exceptionally strong teams, and
most of the rest or capable of upsetting the dope.
There will be gratifying success and disillusionment.
But when it's all over the fans will leave the gym
nasium secure in the feeling that they have witnessed
a fine t~hree-day exhibition of the game. the winning
team will have a sporting respect for its opponents,
and doubtless the best Of the 10 competing teams
will have won.
Air pilots are complaining that they sometimes
lose their course because the radio beams swing.
Still, the craze may die down.
