FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Aug. 18. U.p)
An Arctic storm today impeded
the search for six Russian filters
who were lost last Friday in the
northern wilderness.
Rescue planes we're grounded here
by rains and heavy clouds. Farther
north it was showing. The storm
extended to the North Pole and was
growing steadily worse. Russian
scientists camped at the pole re-
ported sub-Zero temperatures there
and a strong east wind. There was
a low pressure area above Point
Barrow and weather forecasts in
dicated the storm might continue
for days.
Pilot Sigismuni Levanevsky and
his five companions on the flight
from Moscow to the United States
had provisions for a 45-day en-
campment on the ice in the event
they had made safe landing, but
their chances would diminish each
day as the Arctic winter approaches.
One plane Mackenzie air lines
ship piloted by Bob Randall, was
able to make a flight out of Aklavik
Yesterday to hunt the lost red and
blue Russian plane. Aklavik is far
east of Fairbanks, where the Amer
lean rescue fliers, Jimmy Mattern
and Joe Crosson, were grounded.

ought have appointed old corporation attorney
Senator Black wouldn't have been my choice of the
senator's but doubt he is very good and able
and it won't hurt the supreme court any to have man

ROOSEVELT FLAYS HIS CRITICS.:
ASSERTS, I'm FOR DEMOCRACY

Mr.. Roosevelt then returned to
Macauley's letter, declaring that,
like these gentlemen of 1887"
the Englishman painted the gloomy
picture of the future of the United
States: -
ut is quite plain that your
government will never be able to
restrain distressed and discon-
tented majority your consti-
tuition is all sail and no anchor =.
either some Caesar or Napoleon
will seize the reigns of government
with a strong hand or your republic
will be s.. laid waste by barbar-
ians in the goth century as the
Roman empire was in the fifth :"
That, my friends" President
Roosevelt said, with all due re-
spect to Lord Macaulay is an ex-
cellent representation of the cries
of alarm which rise today from the
throat of American Lord Maccaul-
ays.
1T is of interest to read Mac
auley's letter with care-for find
in it no reference to the improv-
ing of the living conditions of the
poor, to the encouragement of bet
ter homes or greater wages, or
steadier work"
The president declared that he
is "just as strongly in favor OF the
security of property and the main
tenance of order as Lord Macauley,
or as the American Macauleys who
thunder today"
And" he added, "in this the
American people are with me, too
But we cannot 60 along with the
Tory insistence that salvation lies
In the vesting of power in the
hands of a select class, and that
ii America does not come to that
system, America will perish.
Il seek no change in the form
of American government. Majority
rule must be preserved as safe
guard to both liberty and civiliza-

PETITION FILED
AGAINST BLACK
WASHINGTON Aug. 18. UP)-
Albert Levitt, former assistant to

supreme court demanding that Hugo
L. Black show cause" that he is
eligible to become an associate
justice of the high bench before
being seated.
Levitt, who resigned his official
position recently, filed the petition
as private attorney.
The petition recited most of the
arguments voiced on the floor of
the senate in opposition to confir-
nation of Black.
Chief of theese reasons, as outlined
in the petition, was that the re-
tirement act of March |, 1897 in
creased the emoluments of the
positions on the court and that
Black, having been member OF
congress at the time the act was
passed, therefore was ineligible on
constitutional grounds to be ap-
pointed to the supreme court.
