Jackson DisilIuSiOned

be subservicnt to him; ordered Con-
gress to pass legislation of doubtful

ganize the Supreme Court and make
: it subject to his views; he piled bureau
on top of bureau; he serves the radi-
Gals X; he commits us to so many
| things that VIC do not know our obi
cations and liabilities actual and con-
! tingcnt; he pretcnds to distribute
wealth. which cannot be done; he fav-
ors legislation to limit income.
