session, '"-p-x '
The first move wilt be filing of
an application with the federal
government far a grant of 45 per
cent of the funds required lor the
entire building program. Of this
amount 18 per cent would be nsed
for the acquisition of land.
A telegram' from Senator Mc-
Nary indicated that It might not
be possible to obtain this grant
because of a change in the federal
procedure.
McNary advised Governor Mar
tin .that allotments were now be
ing made by the PWA on a new
basis of meeting labor costs taken
from the relief roUs plus 15 per
cent, up to a peak of 45 per cent
of the total cost.
Officials said such an allotment
would be of doubtful value In the
proposed construction program.
"Let's make the application
anyway," Governor Charles H.
Martin said. "We must keep the
record clear." I

NEW LONDON, Tex., March 22.
JPj A military inquiry into the
London school explosion which
killed 455 children and teachers
ended late today with the formal
opinion of Dr. E. P. Schoch, ex
plosions expert, that accumulated
gas under' the basement floor
caused the blast.

disaster, was lifted from the com

Evidence presented in the three
days of the inquiry included testi

McNary Protests
Roosevelt Choice
For Marine Board
! WASHINGTON, March 22-(P)-Mlnorlty
Leader Charles L. Mc
Nary of Oregon said in the senate
today President Roosevelt's fail
ure to include a member from the
Pacific coast on the new maritime
commission was "unfair."
His criticism was on a resolu
tion by Majority Leader Robinson
to exempt Joseph P. Kennedy of
New York, the president's choice
for chairman, from a provision of
the maritime act which would dis
qualify him from membership on
the board.
"In the appointment of fire
commissioners of the maritime
commission," McNary said, "not a
member proposed comes from the
Pacific coast, which has the long
est coastline of any section of the
country. 1
"I recall when the maritime
commission was created, Instead of
placing in the measure the geo
graphical description which was
formerly found in acts of a sim
ilar nature, the statement was
made that the president would
deal fairly with each section of
the country."

Ex-Justice Clarke Avers
President's Proposal T
Is Constitutional
WASHINGTON, March 22-UP)
-Chief Justice Hughes bluntly de
clared today that to increase the
membership of the supreme court
would "Impair" its efficiency.
His words, read to the senate
Judiciary committee, had scarcely
been digested by those who heard
them when John H. Clarke, only
living retired member of the
court, declared In a radio speech
that President' Roosevelt s court
reorganization proposal was
"clearly constitutional."
Neither of the two venerable
jurists passed judgment on the
policies Involved -In the plan.
Hughes confined himself to the
mechanics of court procedure, as
serting the tribunal was not be
hind in its work and could func
tion more efficiently without ad
dition of new members.
Confines Remarks
To Legal Question
Clarke, who retired from the
court in 1922, confined himself to
the "naked legal question" of con
stitutionality and asserted the pro
posal "Is plainly within the pow
ers granted to the congress."
Clarke -spoke from San Diego,
Calif. Fifteen minutes later. Sec
retary Wallace told a farm bureau
audience at Richmond, Va., the
president's proposal was a "sim
ple and effective" method of as
suring progress of national wel
fare. He said recent decisions of
the supreme court blocked at
tempts of the Roosevelt adminis
tration to erect "necessary safe
guards for agriculture and indus
try." Hughes' statement, to which
Associate Justices Van Devanter
and Brandels agreed, was entered
in the hearings of the senate Ju

A vigorous challenge to the wis

Mr. Maguire called the court
issue the most Important and
fundamental question which has
faced the American people since
the civil war, "because It Involves
a fundamental c h a n g in our
theory of government. - That
theory, as he phrased It, was the

B. E. Hutchinson," chairman of

denied the charge and countered
with an allegation that "the

Outwardly, the UAW officials
were concentrating on plans for
