Dismal SWdmp
Canal Is NOU O.
Sir-H. Channel

Navigation of the Dismal
Swamp canal is at present linn
tied to vessels of a draft Of not
more than six feet, according to
a bulletin issued by the U. S. en-
gineer office at Norfolk. The bull
letin follows:
Until further notice the con-
trolling depth in the Dismal
Swamp Canal is limited to 6 feet.
This is owing to a shoal having
formed in the Dismal Swamp
Canal near the mouth Of the
feeder ditch to Lake Drummond,
caused by the recent heavy rains
and the necessity for releasing
considerable quantities of water
from Lake Drummond.

President Asks Power
To Increase Its
Membership
Supreme Court
Would Also Place Linlita-
ton On Power of the
District Courts

Washington, Feb. S. -(U.A-
President Roosevelt today de-
manded authority to increase the
supreme court from nine to Is
members in a move to pump new
blood" into the entire federal ju-
dietary wherever judges past 10
continue to hold office.
He also proposed, in a special
message to congress, that federal
courts be denied the right to de-
eide constitutional questions or
issue injunctions involving the
government without ample notice
to federal authorities and the
right of quick appeal directly to
the supreme court.
With his message he transmit
ted a bill designed to carry out
his recommendations, which, he
said, were intended to strengthen
the administration of justice and
to make it a more effective SER
want of the public need"
1t was the first time since the
chaotic early days of the first
New Deal that Mr.. Roosevelt Off
cially proposed a specific bill to
congress. He acted swiftly after
summoning his cabinet to a spe-
cial emergency session.
Proposals
Mr.. Roosevelt proposed:
l. That he be allowed to increase
the number of judges in all fed
eral tribunals up to Is in the
supreme court and up to SO alto
gether- where incumbents fail to
retire or resign within six months
of their 10th birthday.
2. That the supreme court have

administrative assistant and help

"Bennie cried nearly all day to-

Bennie, Is years old, is one of

The name of Bennie Norman,

Theatre Thursday night. The on

man is listed.
Many disappointed movie fans
found access to city directories
yesterday and word went around
that a dead mans name had been
drawn from the drum on the AL
krama Theatre stage, exposing
the theatre management to much
adverse criticism.
This newspaper sent reporter
to 2O8 Bell ST. No such person as
Norman lived at that address, but
it was learned that a family OF
that name had lived there prior
to August. Mrs. Bernice Norman
was finally located at 800 N. Dyer

No it wasn't my husbands
name that was drawn; it was my
sons. Bennie. He's 13-years old.

Walsh-Healey Act
Steelmasters Assert Provis.
ions of Law Take Profit
From Contracts

Copyright 1887, BY United Press
Washington, Feb. 5.-(UR)-The
So-called bidders strike" of steel
masters under the Walsh Healey
act has reached such serious pro-
portions that thousands of work.
erS in federal ship yards face i'm
mediate loss Of their jobs, it was
learned tonight.
A total Of $4,000 workers now
are employed in government ship
yards throughout the nation. Their
work rapidly is being Curtailed and
the U. S. Navy Ship-building pro-
gram is threatened seriously by
the inability of the goVCrnment to
get steel.
Restrictions
The shortage is traced to the la
Dor provisions of the WalSh-He
ley act. The law demands that sue
ceSSful bidders on government
contracts fill these contracts with
materials produced under certain
restrictions which ban child ana
prison labor and impose maximum
hour and minimum wage limits.
Steel induStrialiStS have not
been bidding on government con-
tracts. They have explained that
their plants are operating to ca
pacity to meet demands from pri-
vate operators and that they can
not revise their work schedules to
operate profitably under the
Walsh Healey act on government
contracts.
President Roosevelt has not yet
been asked to intervene. Officials
would not say, however, how long

Pope Will Broadcast

Vatican City, Feb. 5.IU.R)-The
Pope's condition was so satisfac-

doubt he would broadcast an ad-
dress to the Eucharistic congress
in Manila Sunday.
Pucci's semi-official news ser
vice said today that the pontiff's
legs have improved considerably
in recent days. The pain in them,
the service said, will decrease but
never completely disappear be-
cause of his deficient blood clrcu-
lation and miocardiacal condition.
The Pope's improvement was
announced officially today in the

, til final determination can be
made by the supreme court-the
law loses its most indispensable
element equality.
Our legal system is fast losing
another essential of justice
tainty We find the processes
of government itself brought to
a complete stop from time to time
by injunctions issued almost au-
tomatically sometimes even with
out notice to the government and
not infrequently in clear violation
of the principle Of equity E.
Life tenure of judges was
not intended to create a static
judiciary. A constant and system
attic addition of younger blood will
vitalize the courts and better equip
them in the light and needs
of an r-changing world.
1t is obvious ;. from both rea-
son and experience, that some
provision must be adopted which
will supplement the work of
older judges and accelerate the
work of the court.
The pending proposal to extend
to the justices of the supreme
court the same retirement privi-
leges now available to other fed
eral judges, has my entire appro-
val.
Modern complexities call for a
constant infusion of new blood in
the courts, just as it is needed
in private business Older men,
assuming that the scene is the
same as it was in the past, cease
to explore or inquire into the pres
ent or the future.

Presidential Message
Highlights

Washington, Feb. 5. -U.H-
Highlights of Presidents Roose-
velt's message to congress on the
Federal judiciary:
If these measures achieve their
aim we may be relieved of the ne
cesSity of considering any funda-
mental changes in the powers Of
the courts or the constitution of
our government-changes which
involve consequences so far reach
ing as to cause uncertainty as to
the wisdom of such a course.
My desire is to strengthen the
administration of justice and to
make it a more effective servant
of the public need.
1t is not difficult for the ingen-
iouS to devise novel reasons for at
tacking the validity of new legis-
lation or it's application. Gov
ernment by injunction lays a
heavy hand upon normal processes
The judiciary, by postponing
the effective date of acts of con-
gress is coming more and
more to constitute a scattered,
loosely organized and slowly op-
Grating third house of the nation
al legislature.
We have witnessed the spectacle
of conflicting decisions Such
. welter of uncomposed differ
enceS has brought the law,
the court and the entire ad-
miniStration of justice dangerous
ly near to diSrepute.
