RooseveIt's Supreme Court Fight Brings
 Greatest Showdown In Battle For Power
Justices Do Change Attitudes Under
 Attack N

But the battalion of death" did It's work well, while the ether re- sounded with court debate until the country wearied.
 Behind the scenes worked Chief Justice Hughes and other justices, Hughes worked on Justice Rob- erts. for instance, and Roberts be-. came Q "liberaw ct least for the entire term. Washington believes both men reacted to the noise out side their windows. Resignation of Justice VanDevanter at the end of the term, which further dam aged the court bill's chances by making the need for 1t even less apparent than before, Is reported to have been carefully planned by certain justices and certain lead- CTS of the fight on the bill.
 The Senate progreSsives are all lined up behind the President ex- cept for the Republican brand and one Democratic progressive, Sen ator Burton K, Wheeler of Mon' tana.
 KRKcS M0re VlOientiy Feasible compromise proposals have dwindled In size from tht original Roosevelt demand, equiv alent to a bid of six court ap' pointments assuming that no jus tice resigned, to c proposal tha' the President be permitted to ado one justice Q year to the courI when justices over 76 continue tt serve. Whether such compro' mise or any other will pass < uncertain.
 At the beginning of the figh' Roosevelt told the nation tha' early validation of wages anC hours legislation, collective bar gaining, social security, unem' ployment relief, crop control anc crop insurance, federal housing flood prevention and conservation of natural resources was at stake
 Collective bargaining and socia security laws subsequently, hav' been upheld. Majority decisions have indicated that New Dea legislation in the other field would be approved, and 1t is sig nificant of Q new attitude tha there is no great debate now ovel constitutionality of the admins tration wage-hour bill or othe pending legislation.
 But the power of the court oveI legislation has been in no wa, permanently curbed. This figh for power rages more violentl! each day.
 NEXT: Roosevelt and the "eco homie royalists."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-07-21

Constitution as c rigid formula, that judges never read their eco- homie and social theories into the Constitution and aren't responsive to public outcry and outside pressures. Much of the courts sanctity has been rubbed off.
 Washington Is SO cynical that 1t believes e court which once reverses itself can reverse itself again.
 With his "horse and buggy" statement, Roosevelt began to war on the court, following It's unani- nous decision against NRA in the Schechter case. Articulate public reaction to that statement was bad. But the court had gone out of It's way to cite decisions that manufacturing, mining, and agri- culture were local matters outside the federal power--a definite bar to important New Deal laws. Later conservative majority, usually voting to 1, killed the AAA, the railway retirement act, the duffey coal act and the New York minimum wage law.
 Court Wounded Itself
 Meanwhile the courts liberal minority-Brandeis, Stone, and Cardozo, sometimes joined by Hughes--had berated the majority with such terms as hardly rises to the dignity of argument" Heads to absurd consequences, "the Constitution means what it says, " encourage falsehood and eva sion," encouraging anarchic riot, ," and personal economic predilec- tionS." s.
 The court wounded itself badly when 1t killed the New York minimum wage law by to 1 vote shortly after 1t had knocked out the ouffey act by ruling that wages and hours were no federal concern. Creation of this mo mans land" led to suggestions Of 6 constitutional amendment both

view of their relation to ethics and religion.
 (2) To suggest how these agen- cies of public opinion can promote more wholesome human relations in the United States, consistent with the New World tradition of religious liberty, civil freedom and human rights for oil culture groups in our population.
 "The various agencies of public opinion exert Q potent influence on human relations in the American community, whether they wish to do SO or not" Dr. Clinchy said. "Whe- ther Americans are to escape the in- tra-sociai crack-ups which have ale ready destroyed democracy in some countries will depend in large part upon the social aims, ideals and techniques of such instruments of public opinion.
 "The Williamstown Institute will be @ 20th century expression of an old American institute, the Cracker Barrel discussion. That cracker bar- rel, around which neighbors of all opinions and convictions met in every town worth its salt, perform ed an essential service in our 18th century democracy. Citizens cor1l- municated their views, critically ex- amined their mutual concerns, and fashioned, however unconsciously, the public opinion of the day Such is the function of the 1887 Williams town Institute"
 The institute is planned as an oc- casion for analysis, study and ex- change of experience. It is not for debate or for securing commitments to specific proposals or recommen- dations. The chief general purpose is to try to arrive at a common understanding of the important American community forces under consideration. The institute will be educational in the sense of teach ing how to think about public opin- ion and not propagandist, what to think. Membership is open to the public by application to the Will liamstown Institute, Williams Col lege, in Massachusetts.

The call for primaries sets the vot- Ing hours ct s until 10 o'clock In the evening (daylight time), but the polls will be open only for an hour here from 6 to 6 o'clock, due to the fact that only one ticket has been submitted for each of the five wards.

 The setup in connection with the selection of delegates follows: The first ward will elect three delegates and three alternates; the second ward will elect eight delegates and eight alternates the third ward will elect eight delegates and eight alter mates; the fourth ward will elect two delegates and two alternates and the fifth ward will elect Ave dele- gates and i've alternates.
 The names of the delegates on the regular party ticket have been selected already by the town com mitteemen and district leaders and the delegates already proposed by the party leaders will be unani- mously elected at today's primaries
 Tho delegates to the city conyen- ton will nominate tho candidates for city ofiices: tho delegates to the town convention, the candidates for town clerk and selectmen; the dele- gates to the school convention, the candidates for members of the board of education.

by the Democratic platform and Republican Candidate Landon. A year ago nearly everyone believed the court would kill Social Secur- ity, tho Wagner act, and any wage-hour law Congress might pass.
 Bold, Sudden Stroke
 The election figures emboldencd Roosevelt. In January, beginning with his message to Congress, the administration began Q planned effort to frighten the court by critical speeches, broadeasts, and other propaganda. Objects were to drive Hughes and Roberts te the liberal side, to cause one oi two justices to retire, and to rouse the public to 0 demand for action
 Suddenly the President moved from e policy of threatening tt A drastic demand that Congress provide for addition of 0 new justice for each justice who con' tinued. to stay on past the age o! 70. This surprised nearly every one and shocked many. Libera justices were as angry as anyone particularly the 8o-year-old Bran deis.
 A great roar went up. Roose' welt soon proved to have substan' tially less newspaper support 1T this fight than in the election Senators Wheeler, Burke, Var Nuys, King, Bailey, Walsh, ant others banded with Republicans tt lead an active fight against thu bill.
 At that time Roosevelt anc most observers in Washington thought tho bill was sure to pass.

VFW Stands For
Neutrality Legislation

Following is an excerpt from
Foreign Service, monthly
psblication OF the Veterans of
Foreign Wars. 1t is taken from Ed.
itorial comment in the May issue: :
AS veterans, we have observed
each Memorial Day since 1918,
with solemn pledge that the
sacrifices Of our hero dead were
not made in vain. Our opportun-
ity to fui ther the cause Of neutral
ity for the United States gives us a
rnance to endow Memorial Day
in the future, with new signific-
ance. If we, both as veterans and
as citizens, can contribute in any
way toward early enactment of
neutrality legislation thst will
protect our boys and girls OF to-
morrow against the depravity of
war in the future. our pledges
will be adequately fulfilled and our
promises will prove to be some
thing more than fancy phrases
inspired by emotional ceremonies
and oratorical bombast.

Tks crucifixion of Jesus is not unique in history, in the fact or maIg.er of His death. Other men have been put to death, and multi tuces have experienced the cruel death of the cross. Two men, in fact, were crucified with Jesus, one on Hi. right hand, and one on the left.
 No. does the uniqueness of the crucifixion of Jesus lie entirely in His innocence. Other men, innocent of charges against them, have been executed.
 What does make the crucifixion of Jesus unique and significant as the most tragic and challenging event of all history is the purpose of His death, the yielding of Himself to die in fulfillment of Q mission of love and redemption.

 Informal Dispositions
 Many of the problems of children brought into the juvenile court can be handled unofiicially, with the Probation Oflcer acting as refer ee. If, after an investigation, she decides that the misdemeanor IS of trivial nature, she can adjust matters satisfactorily and the child involved does not get 8 juvenile court record. Such cases are re- corded in a private file marked Un- official Probation.
 Not only children go to the Pro- baton Officer with their torubles. During the past year, 1899 persons, old and young visited the office seeking help. More than willing to tell their troubles to a sympathet- ic listener, they were ready to listen to advice and generally left the of1ice smiling, feeling that their bur- dens were lighter.
 Appreciation
 The Probation Offlcer has never failed to receive hearty cooperation from all agencies and groups on
