COURT PACKING PI. AN
WHEELER LEADERSHIP LAID
TO ATTORNEY OENEHAL
WASHINGTON, Nov. 31 The career
of Homer St i lie Cu turnings Is the
perfect text for a moral essay on the
role of chance In public affairs. As
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's attorney
general, Cummlngs has been, a ah ape r
of great ovents.
It was he, for example, who pro
cured the president Ills most danger
ous enemy, Senator Burton E. Wheel
er, of Montana. The man Wheeler
hates worst in the world Is Montana's
former national committeeman, the
prosperous lawyer-lobbyist. 3. Bruce
Kremer. Cummlngs, on the other
hand, Is not only a close Kremer
crony; he was actually a guest In
the lawyer-lobbyist's house during
much of his first year In office. And
when Wheeler, one of the For-Roose-velt-Bef
ore-Chicago men, presented
his patronage demands at the Justice
department, Cummlngs passed over
the Wheeler nominees In favor of
members of Krcmer's Montana organ
ization. Out of Whceler'e rage with Cum
mlngs grew a mood, and that moocf
eventually made Wheeler the leader
of the court plan opposition. Then
It was Homer Cummlngs who Invent
ed the court plan Itself, sold it to
the president, and prepared Its some
what devious presentation. It was
he who advised the president on the
nomination of Justice Hugo L. Black.
It was he who managed the legal
division of the government through
the most difficult period In its his
tory. Yes, If Senator Tom Walsh had not
died on his honeymoon, Homer Cum
mlngs would probably be high com
missioner of the Philippines at this
very Instant. Instead of the careful
diary of national everts, which he
hopes some day will earn him a niche
In history's statuary gallery, he would
have nothing to show .but a set of
dull pro-consular memoirs.
Moreover. If Bryan's alloyed Bllver
tongue had not persuaded him Into I

BERLIN, Nov. 31. (AP) British
Prime Minister Chamberlain's disclo
sure that Tanganyika. Germany's for

used for settling Jews fell like a
bombshell here today.
The Nazi press for days has been
warning "any such attempt would
meet with the sharpest protest."
Many Germans Interpret plans to
settle German Jews in their former
colonies as a move to prevent the re
turn of such war-lost possessions to
Germany.
One authoritative commentator de
clared "the Tanganyika step Is an
obvious Attempt to prejudice the co

said they expected Relchsfuehrer Hit
ler to tell Oswald PI row, defense min
ister of the Union of South Africa.
Germany would consider such a plan
an "affront."
Plrow is scheduled to- see the
fuehrer Thursday at Berchtesgaden.
Joachim von Rlbbentrop, foreign
minister, was understood already to
have told Plrow the same thing.
Mingled hope, dismay and fear of
further measures against them mark
ed the reaction of Jewish leaders here
to Chamberlain's plans.
"Won't Hitler be so enraged about
Tanganyika ho won't lot any Jew out
of Germany?" asked one anxiously.
Another Jowlsh leader said Nasts
already 'had Informed Jews Hitler
would not permit a single Jew hold

former German colony to leave the
