Opposition flared in Congress. The President called upon the nation to trust his plan. Chief Justice Hughes condemned the measure for retiring judges over 70 years of ago. Justice Willis Van Devanter resigned and the court plan was defeated 70 to 20 by the Senate. The appointment of Justice Hugo Black to the bench was followed by a blast of "Kian” criticism. As Roosevelt toured the west. Black explained his position and was sworn in. Con­ gress convened in special session as the year neared its close. • • • Disasters T H E burning of the airship Hin- -1 denburg, killing 35, at Lake­ hurst, N. J., stunned the world, and a grieving nation sympa­ thized with Texas parents who removed the bodies of more than 400 children and teachers from the ruins of a N'ew London, Tex., school. A gas explosion was blamed. Floods spread over the Ohio river valley and into the Missis­ sippi, drowning hundreds and making more than 1,000,000 homeless. • • • EDWARDS Motor Co.

Germany, Italy and Japan united in an anti-Com- munist pact, war fever rose. Th.e Spanish war dragged on, highlighted by piracy in the Mediterranean, attacks on Brit­ ish ships, ar.d the eilorts to with­ draw Kalian and German aid from the Nationalists and French and Soviet support from the Loyalists. On the other side of the world Japan increased her penetration of China in undeclared war, oc­ cupying a large area in the north and forcing Chiang Kai-shek, China's dictator, to flee from the fallen capital at Nanking. Bombing of the International Settlement at Shanghai, the wounding of the British ambas­ sador and attacks uDon Amerjqgn Helvetia, Phillips Sunday Schools to Hold Joint Program Friday Eve vessels in the Yangtze created serious international “incidents." King George VI of England was crowned, and the Duke of Windsor married Mrs. Simpson. Labor opposition forced the Windsors to cancel a U.
