CONSTITI'TIONALITV ISSFE IS WORRY IN BLACK FIOHT ATTACK ON SENATOR HELP Ll'.FT - RIGHT SKIRMISH VIEWED AS CONTINUATION OF "DEATH SENTENCE- DISPUTE NEW ENGLAND FLOOD CONTROL A.V ISSl'F. IN SAME STRUGGLE WASHINGTON. Aug. IT. While administration senators tossed oil the charges of unconstitutionality In the nomination of Senator Black for the supreme bench, legal experts In the department of Justice didn't take the matter so lightly. Although no formal opinion has been wr'tten by the attorney-general as yet. much study has been given to the question, which admittedly has two sides, and data have been prepared for such an opinion. It Is quite conceivable, disinterest ed lawyers say, that the Issue may yet be fought out right up to the supreme court Itself. If, for instance, there were a flve-to-four decision, with associate Justice Black among the five, the defendant might refuse to abide by the ruling on the ground that the new member of the court wasn't a member at all. The reasoning would be that the vacancy which Senator Black was appointed to fill was created by the retirement act, and the constitution, of course, forbids a member of con gress from accepting a position in the creation of which he has par ticipated. The shadow-boxing in the senate over the confirmation of the nomin ation of Senator Black to the su preme court will leave some soars, but It Is Just that a shadow show compared with the battle behind the scenes. The latter Isn't a new conflict, merely the resumption of warfare with some of tho old generals and a lot of new recruits. It Is the right vs. left fight again. Part of the opposition to Black, like part of that In the court fight. Is supposed to be "more of the same" which appeared In the "death sen tence" fight over the utUlty holding companies bill two yeara ago. Any how, the administration spokesmen are going to shoot back In that direc tion In their defense. Senator Black's appointment open ed the old wounds and now becomes a skirmish In the continuing strug gle between the lefts and the rights. Just as the court fight collapsed, a drive was being planned which would have taken In every profes sional man and woman who could be reached by mall. One sector had already been put under concentrated (Continued on Page Eight.) NOTED CHINESE WOMAN WOULD SERVE COUNTRY SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17.

Aug. 17. (AP) The senate confirmed the supreme court nomination of Senator Hugo L. Black of Alabama late today. The vote approving the nomina tion was 63 to 16. The confirmation will put on the court one of the leading congres sional advocates of Roosevelt admin istration policies. Black will replace Justice Willis Van Dcvanter who re tired in June. Confirmation of the Alabama Dem ocrat came after a day of stormy de bate In which Senator Copeland (D., N. Y.) raised the Ku Klux Klan Issue by asserting that Black was backed by the plan for the senate In 1936 and therefore had a "mental bias" which should prevent his being appointed to the court. The affirmative vote on the nom ination came immediately after the senate had refused 66 to 15, to send it back to committee for hearings, principally on charges that Black was a Ku Klux Klan "sympathizer." WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 fry Sen ator Copeland (D., N. Y.) raised the Klan Issue In the senate today against the nomination of Senator Black (D., Ala.) to the supreme court and was denounced by Senator McGlll (D., Kan.) for basing his opposition upon "prejudice." Defending Black's qualifications for the supreme court, McOUl said "It ill behooves" Senator Copeland to "come on the floor of the. senate and complain simply becanse Senator Black Is a liberal and because his name was sent In by President Roosevelt." Copeland opened his attack on Black with the charge that he was a "Klan sympathizer" at the outset of today's session. He was followed by Senator Burke( D., Neb.), who argued that Black was not eligible and also that he did not have an "Impartial" mind. Klan Racking Cited Copeland had read to the senate, before crowded galleries, a prepared speech citing newspaper stories that Black was backed for the senate In 1936 by the Klan. McGlU said Copeland' speech did not appeal to him "because It was based on prejudice and Intended to prejudice the American people" against a man who was to sit on the court. Senator Schwellenbach D., Wash.) Interjected . to suggest that Cope land's speech was not Intended to appeal to the senate, but "to an electorate in the offing-" Schwellenbach referred to Cope land 's candidacy for mayor of New York. The Washington senator's remark created a stir In the chamber and caused the presiding officer to rap for order. Senator Copeland charged Black with "mental bias," basing his con tention upon the Klan charge. The New Yorker's remarks about the Klan drew the attention of Dr. Hiram E. Evans, imperial wizard of (Continued on Page Three.) NORTH POLE WEATHER BETTER, SAY RUSSIANS SOVIET NORTH POLE CAMP (by radio to Moscow), Aug. 17.
