|Bricker in California
Accuses Roosevelt Of
Packing U. 5. Courts
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, oct. l4-dov.
John w. Bricker Of Ohio declared
tonight that the Federal courts had
been transformed into "conclaves
Of New Deal ideologies'' In an ef-
fort to remake the Nation along
lines similar to state socialism.
The Republican nominee for vice
President, asserting that President
Roosevelt had appointed 81 per cent
"of the entire life tenure Federal
judiciary, added:
Clearly. Mr.. Roosevelt has sue
cessfully packed our Federal ju-
dietary from top to bottom. The
fresh young blood that he promised
to pour into the aging blood stream
Of the Supreme Court in his cru
sading days Of 1887 has proved to
be the plasma OF the New Deal"
Speech Opens California Drive.
Tonight's speech, launching q
strenuous six-day drive for Califor-
MAS Is electoral votes, was set up
for broadcast from the San Fran
cisco Civic Auditorium, where COP
Presidential Candidate Thomas E,
Dewey spoke September 81.
BY such court appointments, he
continued, "Mr. Roosevelt has
walled out from our Federal courts
the ideals and opinions OF millions
OF Americans who sincerely oppose
the New Deal on principle. This
means that the 22,0OO 900 men and
women who voted Republican in
1910 have been disfranchised judi-
cially."
The court packing" appoint
ments, the Republican candidate
said, have done more than 10 stifie
the voices and opinions OF millions
OF Americans"
Consequences Of Packing"
The Governor said that while the
President failed to pack" the ST.
preme Court in 1897, the plan had
succeeded In the spirit Of the at
tempt" and he added that "here,
then, are the consequences of Mr..
Roosevelt's triumph in stuff1ng our
Federal courts with New Dealers
First, the action has closed the
doors Of our Federal judiciary to the
opinion Of all those in opposition to
the New Deal, to the % 1000 900 who
supported the Republican ticket in
1910. Secondly, our Federal Judi
cial rulings have come to reek with
the snap judgments OF New Dealers
Thirdly, the Supreme Court Of the
United States has assumed quasi
legislative authority. Fourthly, the
Supreme Court has made a hodge
podge Of adjudication in all the
courts Of the land by its passion for
ignoring legal precedents of long
standing and by It's willingness to
reverse its own decisions In q fash -
Elaborating on "the Roosevelt
appointed Supreme Court" Gov
Bricker asserted it has done more
than to discolor It's ruling with New
Deal ideologies. It has approved
the usurpation Of legislative powers
by the executive branch Of Govern
ment, and has even undertaken to
legislate ITSELF"

Mrs. Luce Describes
Roosevelt as Worlds S
Top 1933-39 Appeasel
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 14.-Rep-
resentative Glare Boothe Luce,
Republican, Of Connecticut de-
scribed President Roosevelt tonight
as "the worlds leading isolationist
and appeaser" from 1888 to 1889.
Addressing a Republican rally at
Cadle Tabernacle and broadcast
over an Indiana radio network,
Mrs. Luce said:
"Mr. Roosevelt was no Mr..
Churchill, who dared risk public
disfavor to warn his country that
war with Hitler's Germany was
probably inevitable after Munich,
and certainly necessary after Dun
kerque.
But why did Mr. Roosevelt never
tell the American people the truth
about the meaning of an Axis mill
tary victory-the truth that would
have meant patriots call to arms
after Dunkerque? Why? Because
to do so would have meant an alb
rupt reversal of both character and
policy on his part. For all through
the years when Mussolini and Hit
Ter were rising-from 1888 to 1899
Mr.. Roosevelt had been the world S
leading isolationist and appeaser.
"In 1888 he did not condemn the
doings at Munich to the American
people.
CAS- for his appeasement policies
toward Japan-why, do you remem-
ber the terrible and significant in
cident of the Panay, the American
gunboat wantonly sunk by the Japs
in the Yangtse? That's where
Japan first tried out Mr.. Roosevelt
as an appeaser and found him
quite satisfactory.
And every one knows that until
five months before Pearl Harbor this
administration sent Japan the scrap
and oil Japan needed to run her war
machine against our natural his
toric ally in Asia, China.
Eyes, indeed, from 1888 to 1889
Mr.. Roosevelt had a completely I'M
broken record of word and action
as an isolationist and an appeaser
And in 1939-at the last quarter
hour-what happened? Well. then
he suddenly awoke from bis long
dream of experiment, patronage, ap-
peasement and isolation.
But he did not dare tell the truth
A man who wanted to get elected fol
a third term in q country he him-
self had conditioned to be isolation-
ist did not dare tell the truth to
the people That is why economic
sanctions, lease-lend, a measure OF
war against the Axis, which the
Axis fully understood, the destroy
er deal itself, were all presented
by the administration as measures
to keep us out of war.
THAT is why we we're told that
Detroit could be bombed and Gov
ernors Island destroyed That Is
why the people were told we were
preparing to raise an army only
in case war should come to us
when all the while he knew, as
every thoughtful American knew,
Americans had to go to war If Eu-
rope and Asia were not to fall into
the hands of the Axis"

COMMENT ON
MUSIC TREND
BY LARRY CHISM
(Theatrical Editor

Postwar music will be a combi-
nation of jazz and swing. happy
blending OF the two. II is that way
now, but it will be more so after
the war" so spoke Duke Ellington
during an exclusive interview last
week with Michigan Chronicle.
This writer has long admired
Duke Ellington, the musician, pro-
life modern composer and master
Of music-but last Saturday. as I
sat patiently awaiting an oppor-
tunity TO get an interview with
him, l became aware OF Duke Ell
lington the man.
AS ] overheard him say during
telephone conversation: I'm the
easiest man in the world to get
along with" an incident occurred
which was some proof of this state
ment.
Between the ending OF one tele-
phone conversation and a call TO
answer a second phone call, Duke
nan-let the phone
wait while he borrowed a pen and
autographed a picture for a teen
age young girl who said: Put to
Daisy on It,"
Reminded that il was then half
an hour TO show time, Duke ex-
planned that he was having dinner
after the next show, but that |
could interview him at once.
Then came another phone call.
Motioning US into the Office with
him. he paused and said start talk

New Music Combines Jazz. Swing
So we handed him a list OF ten
prepared questions, the first of
which he answered by saying that
music IN the postwar era will be a
of jazz and swing. He
wouldn't venture to say by what
name such music might be called
The next question was: will ball
lads gain in popularity" Ellington
answered: Ballads will always be
Third and fourth questions con-
cerned the efforts OF Race musicians
TO hold onto gains they have made
IN the past years. Ellington's
answer was that Negro musicians

Some musicians" he continued.

when they play with a white band
But recognition comes when Negro

Asked IL Negro musicians had

answered: Yes, 10 those people
who like music they have done
much to better race relations. But
you must reach the people TO in

authority on music. Duke explained
that present day music. or swing,
originated in Africa. went TO West
Indies. then up through the United
States. and is now accepted by both
Negro and white bands, although il
is basically Negro music IN origin.
Between leading the band with
his piano playing and trips to the
left theatre wing backstage, Duke
answered our question Of where he
received the inspiration Tor his hum
dreds OF musical compositions.
"Th res no set formula" he said
You live music and you just write

So after watching and hearing
from backstage the famed Filing

the reception they were getting
from the audience, especially when
Rex Stewart worked on lis trumpet
and Ellington went through his

silently took our departure from
the theatre, forgetting that. we had
meant to ask Duke about his dra-

Recalls Fate
That Met Child
Labor Amendment

NEW YORK - (SNS)-InfOrln-
ed of Governor Dewey's intention
to pledge Republican Governors
meeting in st. Louis, to abolish
the poll-Tax by constitutional
amendment, Walter White wired
The presidential nominee, Permit
US to reiterate that we have no
faith in such proposal and do
not believe that the poll-tax will
be eliminated in any measurable
time by this method
Permit us to direct your at
tention to the fact that it REQUIRES
a two-thirds vote Of both houses
of the Congress to mass a reSolu-
ticn for constitutional amend
rlent and that it requires affir-
native action by three-fourthS, or
ti1irtv-s.x of the states. before q
constitutional amendment becomes
effective.
What would haopen to an
amendment to abolish the pOll-tax
NAV be JUDGED by the fact that
the amendment to abolish child la
boz. by this method was passed by
the Congress more than two de-
cades ago but to date ONLY twentv-
eight states have approved the child
labor amendment.
"Anv proposal of this sort can
cnlv aid tine advocate OF the poll

the CONGRESS- to enact legislation
