destroy the president." Some ot

their, loyalty-to s the chief execu

The'Kentucklan declared, .too,
that the report was being widely
used by "followers of the golden
calf" who are attempting to form
a new political party which will
"take over the republican party
and bring "disaster to Franklin
D. Roosevelt." - - s.
Tothis, Wheeler replied with a
repetition of a previous statement
that two close advisers . of the
president had suggested the court
reorganization to him more than
a year ago.-Wheeler said it was
kept out of last autumn's cam
paign at his urgent pleading -that
It weald "wreck" the president.
The Montanan added that he did
not wish- to see the president meet
disaster then, and does sot wish
it now.

ironic and sometimes angry ques
tions. Then, the senate quit to go
to the all-star baseball game.
Previously, Senator Guffey de
livered a prepared address con
tending that throughout Its his
tory the -supreme court has been
"a partisan political body," that
"the statesmanship of President
. Roosevelt" had recently "forced
the court to act on behalf of the
peoples" '
The court and . Chief Justice
Hughes, he said, entered the cur
rent controversy - over the reor

litical strategy." Hughes he as

judgeship as a "political plum."

j "Do1 1 understand that you are
objecting to Chief Justice Hughes
' on the ground that his life has
been devoted to politics?" Burke
. asked later. ;
"1 am merely calling attention
to that fact."
"1 "Well, what is your opinion?"
I think he's disqualified."
"Now we .have a vacancy on
the court," Burke continued. "The
man most frequently mentioned
for the appointment Is one who
has devoted a life-time to poli
tics." (He referred Senator Rob
inson of Arkansas, the majority
leader. ) Do you consider him dis
qualified.?" .
"Under no circumstances do I
consider 'him disqualified," Guf

into the old Lehigh canal.
An eye-witness told how, first

too much for the plane , and it

of his most ambitious of all his
unionization efforts an attempt
to bring all maritime workers

The labor leader estimated that

Lewis said the CIO la prepared
to "finance to any necessary ex
tent" a "streamlined organiza
tion drive."
"This is the first time the men
in the maritime industry have
been able to raise their eyes to
the hope of fair treatment from
the shipping industry," Lewis said.
The federation will Include all
seafaring, longshore, fisheries,
ship repairing and shipyard
unions. Lewis asserted. Geograph

Victory Claimed
(By the Associated Press)
Spanish government troops

Gen. Jose Miaja's men, it was
announced in Madrid, seized
Villanueva de la Canada, roughly
18 miles due west of the city.
They already had reported occu

insurgents denied this.
Apparently General Miaja's plan
was to cut off the insurgents who
have clung to the western out
skirts of Madrid since November.
But government troops also were
striking farther west, toward the
town of Ouiiorna. and tn th
south, toward Navalcarnero.
Spectacular air battle accom

snip were shot down in a clash
over Madrid and another inaur

Alieloists Silent
On Dyer's Sanity
LOS ANGELES, July 7.-(P-
A parade of prosecution psychia
trists today examined Albert
Dyer, 32, charged. with the mur
der of three young Inglewood
girls, but . none i reported his
opinion as to Dyer's sanity.
Dyer is scheduled to appear in
court tomorrow morning to plead
to the Indictments which the
grand jury returned against him
in special session last night. He
tried to plead guilty them, but
was not permitted to do so, as
he had no counsel.
County Jail Matron Vada Sulli
van' quoted Dyer's wife, Isabel,
still held as a possible material
witness and for her own protec
tlon, as saying that on the night
of June 2(5, day of the slayings.
Dyer told her to "He to the offi
cers to throw them off the track
to I protect him and I did."
"I felt all along he had done
it,? Miss Sullivan quoted her as
saying, "but he beat me with a
belt and I was afraid to say any
thing."

The next , move in the case Is
for Friday, when Miss West is
scheduled to give a deposition in
the office of Wallace a attorney.
Previously, there was trouble
about the deposition matter, when
Miss West on advice of counsel.
refused to vouchsafe any informa
tion save her name and address.
She faced a contempt of court
citation, but in the meantime the
original suit Wallace, filed here
was thrown out of court on the
ground that it was filed under the
wrong statute. A new complaint
was drawn under the correct sta
tute and that brought Miss West's
admission today.
The second suit was accom
panied by letters which Wallace
said he wrote to Miss West one
speaking of his love and affection
for her and asking that sue recog
nize him as her husband, the
other setting forth that he had
a legal claim to community prop
erty. Miss West could not be iouna
today. A friend said she was "at
the springs." ,There are several
spas in this region frequented by
motion picture folks.
She has never had much to say
about Wallace's claims. Once she
lamented:
"It's really too bad I haven't
had a husband the last couple ot
years. If I had, it would have
saved me money on my Income
tax."
NEW YORK, July 7. (iP)-Frank
Wallace, the forgotten man in
Mae West's life u n 1 1 1 today
could not be found tonight to be
told that she finally had remem
bered marrying him 26 years ago.
Home to a hoofer is usually
where he hangs his hat and Frank
Wallace's hat was not hanging
tonight in the theatrical district
hotel given as his last address.
He popped out of obscurity two
years ago with an order from New
York supreme court serving notice
on Miss West that he had applied
for a declaratory Judgment af
firming his status as her husband.
WASHINGTON, July f.-ff)-Mae

ren, had a movie Income of
$480,833 in 1935, topping all
other movie stars that year. The
figure was disclosed in a treasury
report to congress early this year.
