Governor Asks Legislature
to Act to Overcome
Recession.
By the Associated Press.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 5.-Gov. Leh.
man appealed today to New York's
161st Legislature to strive to promote
greater cooperation between business
and the consumer ito overcome 6
business recession the extent of which
it is difficult to determine.
Government must instill in all
groups faith and confidence in the
future" the Democratic executive
said. In turn each Of these groups
must trust in and cooperate with
government and with each other"
In an 8,000-word message, read
personally to a joint session. Lehman
said that interests of New York's
farmers, large and small business
enterprises, millions of wage earners
and consumers ARE in the last analy-
sis cornmon." '47
Their interdependence has time and
again been demonstrated in the eco
nomic history OF the Nation" he as
serted. IF one GROUP Is not ade-
quately compensated ana protected,
the others sooner or later will suffer.
Business cannot prosper at the cost
of labor Labor cannot prosper by
destroying business. The consumer
cannot flourish at the sacrifice Of the
farmer. ..
During the past five years we have
done much, by governmental policies,
to balance these different interests
The difficult job of blowing has been
completed. There remains to be de-
veloped, however, genuinely co-op-
erative effort to SOW and to har.
vest. . It is my earnest recommen-
dation that during this legislative ses-
sion We may keep this goal constantly

forts to bring about speedier trials,

ATTACK ON PRESS

Secretary Says.
By the Associated Press.

0y tHe ASSOCldLeQ fTeSS.
Secretary Ickes said yesterday that
he had "too much respect" for many
newspapers to make general indict-
ment" of them
His statement was made in reply to
a telegram January / from the pub
fishers of the Wichita (Kans.) Beacon,
which said:
In your radio address of Thurs
day night, you urged that business
call of newspapers and commenta-
tors These expressions are general
indictment of the entire newspaper
profession and eminently unfair to
those newspapers in which was printed
all the news, regardless Of political
policy. If you have specific evidence
Of kept newspapers let us have their
names and clear the others Of suspi-
cion."
Ickes Statements.
That portion Of Secretary Ickes'
speech, entitled 1T Is Happening
Here to which the publishers took
exception, said:
ITO speak bluntly and realistically,
WIZ AAioO lOI U6LU6T
understanding between business and
Government is for big business to call
OIL its lobbyists, call off its newspapers
and commentators. ."
TOO Much Respect"
In his reply, the Secretary said:
Il made no general indictment Of
newspapers. I have too much re-
spect for many of them to do such a
thing. If I indicted any newspapers
in my speech, it was only such as my
indictment fitted.
Generally speaking, as it is un-
fortunately true that the fairness
Of newspapers is a matter on which
there are sincere personal differences
OF opinion, think that we may best
look to qualified newspaper men
themselves for the best evidence on
the subject"
The Secretary then quoted from a
volume entitled, 1.-The Washington
Correspondents" by Leo c. Rosten.
The book, Mr.. 1ckes said, contained q
list of newspapers in order of ''un-
fairness and unreliability" based on
poll of SO Washington newspaper

cessity for reviving the matter at all"
Senator Van Nuys, Democrat, of In

Justice Sutherland has had q long
and honorable career. I hope the
President will fill the vacancy by some
equally outstanding jurist."

The jurist was the first born on
foreign soil of alien parents since 1906
and the fourth in history. He was
born in Buckingham, England, March
rs, 1862, but was brought to this

Ing defeated for reelection as Re-
publican Senator from Utah by Sen
ator King, Democrat, his former law

After he had grown up in Utah, his

gan to study law. He went back home

seat in Utah's first Legislature. He
was elected to the National House
Of Representatives in 1900 and was
promoted to the Senate in 1905, serv-
ing two six-year terms.
He aided materially in keeping his
State in the Republican column in
1912, when President Taft carried
only two States-Utah and Vermont
in his campaign for reelection.
Worked for Harding.
In 1920 he was an active worker in
the campaign headquarters Of Warren
G. Harding. Two years later the
President nominated him to the Su-
preme Court. In 1916-17 he was
president of the American Bar Asso-
citation.
He is the only member Of the court,
except Chief Justice Hughes, to wear
beard. It is steel gray and he has .
profusion Of hair to match. He wears
rimless nose glasses.
Other justices born abroad of alien
parents were: James Wilson, born in
Scotland and associate justice from

England and associate justice from
1870 to 1899, and William Paterson,
born in Ireland or on the sea en- route

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Justice Willis
Van Devanter today described the re-
tirement Of Justice Sutherland from
the Supreme Court as "a great loss to
the court"
Said Van Devanter, who himself
retired from the Supreme Court last
June:
THE news does not surprise me
much. His age and long service make
him quite eligible to retire, but had
no personal knowledge beforehand.
He has been very able and su-
perior judge" he continued. He
has a fine judicial temperament-a
very companionable man.
His retirement would be a great
loss to the court and I'm sure a great
personal loss to other members of
the court"
Justice Van Devanter made his COM
ment in his chambers at the Federal
courthouse. where he began today to
sit as a trial Judge in this Federal

but the announcement of the Presi-
dents plan to reorganize the court
killed such rumors Friends of the
Justice received the impression he did
not intend to retire while the court
was under fire, preferring to remain
on the bench rather than establish
precedent for yielding in the face of

The Court Line -Up.
As the situation on the court now
stands. Justices Brandeis, Stone, Car
do7o and Black are definitely on the
liberal side. That Justice Sutherland's S
successor will be ranked with them is
beyond question. That leaves Justice
Butler and Justice McReynolds alone
on the extreme right, while Chief
Justice Hughes and Justice Roberts
occupy q middle ground. Their votes
won for the New Deal cases involving
the Wagner Act and the Social Sc
curity Act, but the administration has
never felt sure 1t could count on them
In close cases.
In the future, however, the admin

1ority should legislation akin to the
Agricultural Adjustment Act. which

the Guffey Coal Act, which was lost
by q similar vote, come again before

When informed of the iurist's de-
cision to retire, Attorney General
Cummings, credited with conceiving
the plan to reorganize the court, said
Mr.. Justice Sutherland has rem
dered able and conscientious service.

it right on the skin. In this way, the
basic qualities of your own natural
scent combine with your favorite per-

And it is best to use it on parts of the

HE history of elegance and
beauty is fragrant with per-
fume. Men have always been
responsive to perfume and crit
ical of how a woman uses it. As
Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte was
very severe with any ladies of the court
whom he found badly perfumed.
Many modern women, in their use
of perfume, sin against charm and
good taste Don't use too much. Per-
fume is meant to attract, not to over
power Don't douse it on because you
yourself cease to notice the scent
That is the natural result when the
nerves of smell are stimulated all the
time.
1t is equally important to choose
perfumes that suit you. With this in
mind fastidious woman builds up
perfume wardrobe. just as carefully as
she supplies herself with clothes. Nor
need she spend fortune There are
many excellent brands on the market
at reasonable prices. Thus, you can
