GOOD NEIGHBOR LEAGUE WIDENS HORIZON WOULD HI'KLAII DOCTRINE TO OLD WORLD ROUND-TABLE ECONOMICS CONFERENCES URGED RACIAL TOLERATION IS AIM IN UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. As the Good Neighbor league renews its ac tivities with special dinners In 3Gu cities celebrating constitution day. thia column Is able to reveal a broadening of the objectives of the organization, as seen by Its presi dent, Walter A. Jones. These objectives, it can be authori tatively stated, will Include, if Mr Jones achieves his present purposes, an attempt to extend the "good neighbor" policy beyond the bounds of the western hemisphere. He believes that the nations should get together and discuss one an other's economic needs, with special reference to those which lack neces sary raw materials. He believes that the Good Neighbor league might be Instrumental In mobilizing public sentiment toward such approach ment. 4 Meanwhile, he expresses the con viction that one of tho league's Jobs at home la breaking down racial, re ligious, social and class privileges. This Is the way Mr. Jones puts It: "I believe In the Integrity of the constitution and allow no 'one' to take second place to myself In de votion to the sacred traditions ol our great nation. I am Interested In the Good Neighbor league: "First, because the Good Neighbor league, believes that racial, religious, economic and social class prejudices which separate men and -women of good will constitute a serious barrier In maintaining the spirit of Ameri can democracy which the constitu tion guarantees American cltlren hlp. "Second, these prejudices make Im possible the creation of world friend ship, and, unless they can be broken down, the progress towards a better life, to which every man and woman Is entitled, will be Impeded. 'Therefore, the Good Neighbor i league believes that, - through the 4 constitution as It Is, our democracy will be continued, equal rights as sured and prejudices destroyed pro vided a liberal Interpretation of the constitution In step with tho times la assured. "To that end, the Good Neighbor league will oppose all policies, move ments and persons In this country which threaten such an Interpreta tion and will support those which seek to advance It." The president's "reluctance" in signing the bill which appropriated 14,618.000 for vocational training was widely publicized by the mes sage which he wrote accompanying the measure.

Birthday of Contitution Renews Old Controversy WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. ( AP) The nation celebrated today the 150th anniversary .of the signing of the federal constitution amid contro versy reminiscent of that which raged around the historic document at its birth. President Roosevelt, whose pro posal for reorganizing the supreme court instigated the present day con stitutional dispute, will be the chiet spokesman at the nation's official celebration tonight. His speech, scheduled for 9 :8u p. m, eastern standard time, was awaited with widespread interest for a hint of his future course on Judic iary changes. Observance of the event was be gun last night by Senator Borah (R Idaho) who told a Masonic audi ence: "Constitutional government la the only government which, In restoring the economic welfare of the people, at the same time preserves their right and their liberty.- He made no specific mention ol the president's court program, but averted : "Until the people speak, until the ponple make known tieir deair. the constitution la sacredly binding j Is Outlook for Annual China Enters Formal Protest on Tiger Tamer A9wtr!tett TrBx Vknt.

PEAR HARVESTING WILL BE FINISHED IN ANOTHER WEEK Another week will complete the pear harvest with the exception of Winter Nellis. a bulletin from Amer ican Fruit Growers, Inc., said today. Harvesting and packing have been exceptionally rapid this year, the company, pointing out that It was Just 30 days ago today that It began the boxing of Bart let ts, first of the Pears to mature. Some lota of fruit this year have had a considerable amount of worms and scabs which have retarded pack ing operations, the company bulletin said. To offset the delay, night shifts have been employed, the firm stated. The company said it had packed slightly more fruit this year than last and had accomplished the pack in a much shorter time. Pear shipments from the Rogue River valley to date total 893 cars 400 packed and 203 to the Willam ette valley and California canneries. According to William Hansen, the peak of the packing season will be reached next week after which the rush now underway will start to taper off. All tho packing plants were operating today. Six cars of peaches have been ship ped. The peach harvesting neara Its end. The warm days and nights of the past week have been beneficial In the ripening of tomatoes and have In creased their flow to the canneries. ST. CLAIR6VILLE, O (UP) BO rare is the sight of a barefoot youngster here now that appearance of a boy minus shoes on the main street drew a crowd. upon the people, upon officials, upon the congress, the executive and the courts. "It la sacred against the right or power of congress or the executive or the course, or of all combined, to change or mortify it through un warranted, forced or strained con structions. Such changes are usurpa tions none the leas vicious because not openly avowed." Borah, one of the leading foes of the president's court bill, probably disappointed some of his audience by fr.illng to mention the court moasuii by name. Many, however, believed he waa referring to that is sue when he spoke against "usurpa tions." "The people," he said, 'may make over our government In any man ner which seems to the people proper and wise. The means and the method arc always at hand to adjust the powers of government to tho taAks of gov eminent, not the powers which in dividuals, or groups, may Insist tne government should have, but the powers which all the people may de termine the government ahall have.

Vandenberg (R., Mich.) called upon celebrant of Constitu tion day today to meet "all usurpers and subversion 1st at the battle line of law and order with the relentless challenge They shall not pass'," Speaking at an observance of the 'lfiOth anniversary of the adoption of the United States constitution, he as sorted that "when the recent senate turned back the effort to chain the (supreme) court to executive and leg islative control. It not only saved this constitutional anniversary from becoming a hollow mockery but also It saved the soul of the republic" Never a Tyrant "You can never make a tyrant out of tho supreme court," he declared. "It lacks one, single power of affirm ative enslavement. It Is answerable to a constitution which you can change any time you please. But you can make any sort of monster, suited to the prevailing appetite or the rul ing passion, out of a supreme con gress or a supreme executive." The speech was broadcast over a national (NBC) network. For It, Sen ator Vandenberg aald, he took "the text I had Intended to use for a speech, that never had to be delivered in the senate, defending the Integrity of an unimpaired and Independent supremo court against what the sen ate Judiciary committee officially called 'a proposal that violates every sacred tradition of American democ racy'." Quotes Ben Hill "I take the text from Ben Hill, the old Georgia statesman," he con tin ued: "Who saves this country saves all things, And all things saved do bless him, But he who lets his country die Lets all things die. And all things dying curse him." HUNTER IS KILLED BY FALL ON BELT KNIFE QUINCT, Cal., Sept.- 17- (UP) Albert D.

The latest report came from a pro fessional source associated with Lind bergh, and was neither confirmed nor denied elsewhere, Tho Informant declined to permit use of his name, but he had an established connec tion with the hero of tho first solo New York-Paris flight. The only comment came from Col. Henry Breckinridge, Lindbergh's at torney. He said tersely; "The only person who can confirm that Is Colonel Lindbergh himself. No one else has a right to speak for him that I know of." Lindbergh sailed from the United States on a freighter In the 1935 Christmas season and settled In a country home at Beven Oaks, Eng land. Nlether before his sudden de parture nor after his arrival In Eng land did he make any public state ment on his plans.
