over 10 retire, Brant told the COM
mittee:
1t is disastrous to leave the desti-
nies Of the United States in the hands
of five men who have usurped the
policy making functions of Govern
ment while remaining totally ignorant
OF the tremendous political forces
which enter into public policy. That
Is not government; it is absolutiSn
without the military power which
makes abSolutiSm work. l believe that
the conservative justices of the Su-
preme Court are honest and sincere.
So was Marie Antoinette when she
said, If they don't have bread, let
them eat cake"
Unless the court is curbed, be told
the committee, "the democratic gov
ernment we have known in the United
States will disappear before your eyes,
and it will not disappear in the nice
orderly dictatorship that some of the
admirers of Mussolini are thinking
about You cannot train the Ameri-
can people to violence, as we have
been doing for generations, without
paying the penalty in violence when
the economic order breaks down and
hope disappears"
Brant will be followed by Judge
Ferdinand Pecora of the New York
Supreme Court, who attained national
prominence while conducting the Sem
ate stock market investigation early
In the New Deal.
Potential Corrective"
Senator Austin, Republican, of Ver-
mont, asked Brant if he considered
national catastrophe inevitable unless
the bill is passed
NO" replied the witness, because
there is a potential corrective in the
1888 congressional elections"
Evidently referring to the recent
speech of Justice McReynolds of the
Supreme Court, Brant added:
You have been told that the ST.
preme Court is an impartial, aloof
and independent umpire, as in a base
ball game, and that anybody who OBJ
jects to the decision of the umpire is
poor sport, and the way to change the
decisions Of the umpire is to change
the rules Of the game.
Il might say in regard to that, that
II the Supreme Court is an umpire,
1t makes the rules as it goes along,
and is steadily moving first and third
base nearer to second"
Brant said he was opposed to the
bill In so far as it might increase the
size OF the court permanently to Is.
I see no reason why there should
be more than II Justices" he declared.

oelore the time rolled round for
their regular overhauling. many hours
away. Beautiful motors, you know,
are sometimes best left alone when
they are functioning perfectly and
they should be tinkered with by no
ordinary mechanic at any time. So,
may engines, under the best possible
hands, are having a mechanical rub
down and massage to keep them in
perfect condition.
In thinking over the reasons for
this delay, have to include one that
is incident to my new role as q writer
Flying really comes easier than re-
porting. 1t is simpler to tell all to
the reporters than to try to do the
recording myself. However, as ex-
planned to the interviewers Yesterday.
l have Joined their fraternity for
once, and l am saving them, partially
at least, the trouble of writing about
the flight by struggling to do so
myself. And may 1 sincerely hand
the group Of journalists here a bou-
quet for their good sportsmanship.
They were sympathetic to my explana-
ton of why would rather not discuss
details of the flight.
I shall be sorry to drop the first of
the ltinerant crew, Paul Mantz. He
has helped in every way to prepare
Tor the flight, and came along on its
f1rst leg to watch developments. He
took no rest yesterday, staying at
Wheeler Field to superintend the
work. I hope he has a pleasant
journey homeward on the Malola.
Our time-15 hours and Al minutes
from Oakland to Honolulu-seems to
have established a record for the
east-west crossing. That Is an inter-
esting commentary on the progress of
flying equipment, particularly as con-
Germs speed. Actually we were going
about as slowly as possible. We
throttled back the engines. Most OF
the way our craft was under wraps. :"
For once, tailwinds were almost an
embarrassment. AS 1t was. averaging
slightly over $50 miles an hour, we
reached Wheeler Field as scheduled
just after dawn. My point is, that so
far as concerns speed, it would have
been easier to go faster. The Electra.
or similar landcraft, can comfortably
cut couple of hours off the left
handed record we set up most any
time under favoring conditions. The
same problem of going slow-not fast
faces me on the next hop, as I have
said. Again. the new puzzle is how
not to hurry.
All of which indicates that the ele-
ment of speed is far from uppermost
in such a fight as this. 1t can't be
quite truly. I'm in no hurry. 1t was
disappointing yesterday that bad
weather prevented us carrying on
westward. But doubtless similar de-
lays will occur later. My ambition is
no time mark. There is no record"
to shoot at. That will come for
others later. Well see globe -girdling
flights whose brevity will take your
breath away. AS for this present
venture, I just want to progress as
safely and sanely as day-to-day con-
ditions make possible, give myself and
the Electra this experience Of seeing
what We can of this very interesting
world at its waist line, and, with good
fortune, get back with plane and pilot

M a na ger, Who Arrived Here on Prince Robert.
 Can't Explain

If you run into a man today who knows virtually everything about Jack Benny except why the radio and movie comedian stuck his familiar tongue out before a recent ocean voyage to Europe, that's Harry M. Baldwin, manager for Benny, who is a round trip passenger aboard the Prince Robert.
 Baldwin, who set out for Homo lulu and wound up in Alaska, can not figure out why the comedian was photographed sticking out his tongue.
 Facile with both names and talk, Baldwin has been the back stage" man for Benny for five years. q walked out of job with Para mount on Saturday and Monday began working for Jack"
 Ad-libbing, the interposing of unwritten words in a script, is a favorite pastime of Jack Benny, Baldwin said, put he has to watch out in radio programs to be sure he doesn't run over the allotted time.
 Scripts of the comedian are com posed by two writers, but Benny does as much work on it as they do,' Baldwin said. Three rehears-. als are necessary before the radio programs are actually put on the. air.
