Washington, Feb. 5 (AP)-
President Roosevelt asked Con-
gress to reorganize Federal
court machinery today in a
surprise message proposing
more justices for the Supreme
Court.
The unexpected request, en-
bracing also plans for speeding
Supreme Court decisions on con-
stitutional questions, plunged
Capitol Hill into a Juror of con-
troversy, which split party
ranks.
The President, in his message, re-
commended a sweeping reorganiza-
ton of Federal court machinery i'm
Guiding an increase in judgeships of
the Supreme and lower courts and a
method for speeding high court de-
cisions on constitutional questions.

mum of six justices to fifteen, and the
lower courts by two members each,
unless judges over 70 retired.
"These proposals do not raise any
issue of constitutional law the Presi-
dent said, listing four specific recon-
mendations, as follows:
l. Power for the President to nomi-
nate an additional judge in any court
when an incumbent has reached the
age of 70, has held office for ten years
and within six months after reaching
70 has neither resigned nor retired.
2. Power for the Supreme Court to
appoint an administrative assistant
or proctor" to watch lower court
calendars and permit the chief justice
to assign district and circuit justices
temporarily to areas where the dock
cts are congested.
3. Provision that no decision, in
junction, judgment or decrease on
any constitutional question be promul-
gated by any Federal court without
previous and ample notice to the at

and an opportunity for the United
States to present evidence and be

Raleigh, Feb. 5-The foes of high
wav fund diversion struck back at the
diversionists with a man-sized base
ball bat when they dropped the bill
into the hopper to submit constitu-
tional amendment to vote OF the
people in the next general election
which, if adopted, will prohibit for
all time any further diversion OF the
taxes paid by automobile and truck
owners to other than highway pur-
poses. The bill was introduced in
the Senate Thursday by Senator l.. T..
Ballentine, of Wake county, dairyman
and farmer, who maintains that the
farmers especially are tired of pay
ing their gasoline and motor vehicle
taxes year after year and then seeing
several millions of dollars OF this
money which needs to be used on the
roads, especially the unpaved county
roads, diverted and used for other
purposes.
Every one who knows anything
about the roads in the State at all,
knows that the present highway reve-
nue. is entirely inadequate to even
maintain the roads properly, much
less provide for any new construc-
tion," Senator Ballentine said. "Why,
