SUPREME COURT
SITS TOMORROW
Action on Case Challenging
Black Must Go Over to
Next Monday.
BY JOHN II. CLINE.

The nine justices of the Supreme
Court will assemble at noon tomorrow
for the opening OF a new term which
will bring up for their consideration
a number of cases vitally affecting
the legislative policies of the New
Deal
First on the courts calendar, how
ever, from a standpoint Of public
interest, is a petition contesting the
right of the newly appointed Associate
Justice Hugo L. Black to take his seat.
This petition. which presents to the
court involved legal questions and
delicate political considerations, will
not be acted on tomorrow However,
it will be considered during the week,
and either denied or granted next
Monday.
If it is denied, that will be the end
of the matter, but should the justices
vote to hear the case. they will have to
set date for argument of the ques-
tions involved and ultimately rule on
their associates legal qualifications.
Klan Issue Not Involved.
This petition does not attack Jus
tice Black on the ground of his ad-
mitted former membership in the Ku
KluX Klan, and it was considered
unlikely that the Klan question will
be presented to the court in any form.
A total of some $50 cases are await
ing action during the term. Of great
est interest are disputes involving the
legality of Sit-down strikes. the con-
stitutionality of Government loans and
grants for construction of publicly
owned hydro-e electric plants, several
new challenges of the Wagner labor
relations act and the validity of the
1888 truth in securities" act, and the
1886, legislation broadening Federal
regulation of commodity exchanges.
Gases involving constitutionality of
the Tennessee Valley Authority pro-
gram and the public utility holding
company act are coming up from the
lower courts and probably will be de-
cided by the high tribunal this term
Cases Test New Deal.
The attention of the country will
be focused on the rulings in the New
Deal cases for an indication as to
whether the court will adhere to the
liberal Interpretation of the Constitu-
ton adopted at the last session, when
the Roosevelt administration emerged
victorious in every major case Those
rulings, particularly the ones on the
Wagner act and the social security
act, dealt devastating blow to the
Presidents hopes of adding six new
justices to the court. To accomplish
this, however, the court had to alter
its former attitude on vital constitu-
tional questions and grant to the Fed
eral Government powers it never en-
joyed before. In the long run. this

GIVES UP HURRICANE HUNT
M. I. T. Researcher Turns Balloons
Loose on Smaller Game.

Loose on Smaller Game.
RALEIGH. N. c., october 2 LP).-
Chris Harmantas, research associate
at Massachusetts Institute Of Tech
nology, abandoned his hurricane hunt
today and turned to smaller game.
For the last three months Har-
mantas has been waiting at the
Weather Bureau here for an oppor-
UNITY to stalk" a tropical hurricane.
No hurricane came, SO this after
noon he released number of small,
hydrogen filled rubber balloons to
which weather recording instruments
were attached
He said he hoped to find out how
the tropical rainstorm centered near
New Orleans, La, would affect the
upper air over this area.
When we set up our equipment we
realized there was little chance Of
getting a hurricane" he said. Our
equipment is such that it cannot be
saved for use another year. So it was
decided to use it on the next best
thing-a tropical rainstorm."
The balloons, Harmantas said, would
ascend to a height of from $4,000 to
100000 feet. Attached to each in
strument was notice offering a reward
for its return to the Raleigh Weather
Bureau.

few hours.
Thousands Of persons were ma

Damages ran into thousands of

A tide several inches deep swept
into famous Canal street, heart of the
business district, and sandbags were
placed in the doors of stores to keep
the water out
Transportation and telephone serv-
ice was demoralized. The police
switchboard went out of commission.
Some streets built of heavy wood
blocks almost floated away. Hundreds
of motor cars were stalled.
The rain was the heaviest since the

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.


What comment, if any, will Pres
dent Roosevelt make on the admission
of Justice Black that he once was a
member of the Ku Klux Klan?
Now that Justice Black finally has
broken his silence on this question
and entered defense against the
charges brought against him, political
Washington's interest has turned to
what the President may say.
The Chief Executive, soon after tha
published disclosure two weeks ago
that Black had been member of tire
Klan, issued the following formal
statement: Il know only what have
read in the newspapers. 1 note that
the stories (about Justice Black are
running serially, and their publication
is not complete. Mr.. Justice Black is
in Europe where undoubtedly he can
not get the full text of these articles.
Until such time as he returns there
Is no further comment to be made"
This statement was interpreted a.
meaning the President had no knowl-
edge of Justice Blacks having ever
been member of the Klan. If Mr..
Roosevelt is satisfied with Friday
nights radio speech by Justice Black
he may say he would have made the
appointment had all the presently
known facts been before him.
Political Repercussions.
As the situation now stands, the
President did nominate former men,
Der of the Ku Klux Klan to the
Supreme Court. Whether this will
have any political repercussions, it is
too early to say.
The very evident desire OF Justice
Black himself is that, with his state
ment declaring his tolerance and
will be forgotten. This is the desire,
too, of New Deal leaders. From the
start of the dispute over the Black
appointment and the Klan charges.
it has been the hope that the matter
would blow over.
Judging from the reaction to the
address, coming from Democrats as
well as Republicans and from the press
generally, the Black appointment issue
is stifl flaring brightly.
One probable result from Justice
Blacks statement, in the opinion of
observers here, is that any attempt
to revive the court bill and to give
the President power to increase the
membership of the Supreme Court will
meet with stronger opposition than
ever.
Assumes Burden of Attacks.
Justice Black, who takes his seat on
the Supreme Court bench for the first
time tomorrow, has assumed the whole
burden of the attacks because of his
Klan membership. He did not say, or
hint, that he had given any informa-
ton regarding his Klan membership
to the President before he received his
appointment or while his nomination
was before the Senate.
Democratic Senators, like Walsh of
Massachusetts,, who now attack the
Black appointment and say he should
not remain on the bench. insist the
President never would have appointed
the Alabama Senator if he had known
Black was a former Klansman.
Mr.. Roosevelt has before him several
courses from which to choose. He
may decline to say anything. He may
say that in the light of the Black
statement, he would have appointed
