; j fact that the moderate of the

prestige of the Judiciary, where Jus-
ytlce Mc Reynolds follows a "rule or
ruin" policy, and Justice Black holds
"that the courts have far too much
. prestige already, the chief Justice and
Justice Roberts work without ceas
ing to throw an aura of power and
liynlty -around the federal bench.
Strong circumstantial evidence in
dicates that their labors recently took
ah extraordinary form. r
Tho story begins iWlth Mayor
Hague's appeal ot Judgo Willi am
Clark's famous decision holding that
"the bill of rights Is as good In Jer
V cy City as elsewhere. The appeal
took the case to the third circuit
court in Philadelphia, the character
"" ; of which was lately changed by the
retirement of two elderly Judges.
I Formerly the third circuit was known
) as one of the most conservative in
the country. The presiding Judge,
-'-J. Warren Davis, is a relic of the
old regime.
, For reasons best, known' to himself",
presiding Judge Davis recalled to the
bench hts two retired colleagues,
Jihlses Joseph Bufflngton and J.
Wit taker Thompson, to hear the
VlIaguc csjse. The recall was made

aF'teci the supreme court to forbid
the enlarged court from sitting in
the ca..e. On v November 31, Chief
Justice Hughes handed down a tech
nical ruling refusing Ernst's and
Kramer's petition.
Jude Buffinpton immediately is
sued a statement compnrlng fav
orably, as a Judicial utterance, with
the blasts against the Jeffersonlans
which brought the testy old Fed
eralist. Justice Chase, near to im
peachment. Although the CIO was
once of the parties at issue In the
case on which he was to sit. Judge
Bufflngton declared that "all right
thinking Fhiladclphinns" would be
rejoiced that the supreme court
"had put the stamp of disapproval
on the tactics of the CIO." He went
on to accuse the CIO of "outrage"
in the sit-down strikes, and to de
nounce it for "attempting to
smudge" presiding Judge Davis character.
Judtrc Bufflngton 'a remarks seem

problems with the Judges of t he

I BOSTON, Dec. 104 Senator Byrd.
! Virginia Democrat, today demanded
I an end to "nine years of fiscal in--anity"
and declared he was con
vinced the Roosevelt administration
i could not be looked to for leadership
toward economy despite the "tragic
I failure" of its spending program.
I Just before outlining a fixed point
retrenchment program, which would
Include a thorough going government
reorganization and a "purge" of the
relief rolls, Byrd declared In a nation
wide radio address delivered before
the Massachusetts Federation of Tax
payers Associations.
"We are facing a perilous situation
and what can be done about it?"
"Can we expect any leadership
from the present administration for
economy aud retrenchment? As one
who has fought for five years for
prudent spending at Washington, I
say NO.
'Ai a Democrat I say it with sor
row, as my party is In power, but
the Republican party cannot escape
responrlblllty for their share In the
present orgy of spending. Mr. Hoover
r.dded the first five billions to the
public dbt, and a majority of the
Republican members in the senate
have voted for the huge appropria
tion bills."
Senator Walsh fD-Mass.) who de
manded "tax reduction in every
field of government," told news
papermen Just before he addressed
the Taxpayers' Federation he was con
vinced President Roosevelt would not
seek- a third term despite pressure
by his supporters.
Walsh asserted It was highly Im
portant for both the president and
the next congress to "install pop
ular confidence that our economic
system will be permitted un tram
meled operation."
Senator Byrd was caustic in a
lengthy attack upon the Roosevelt ad
ministration. Oood government, he
said, would bo "vastly promoted if the
brain-trusters from Tugwell to Cor
coran would go home, and if con
gress resumed Its constitutional
duty."
"A modern liberal." he asserted, "is
tested and judged in proportion as
to how liberal he Is willing to be

Byrd said his speech In New York
last week on "promoting prospelty
by spending borrowed money" in
dicated "to what depths of false
reasoning we have sunk In the
crackpot legislative Ideas of those
holding Important public positions."
Byrd declared the nation faced dis
aster unless it soon approached a bal
anced budget. He asserted the "di
rect debt" of the government would
be $41,000,000,000 by next July, and
that when the bonds, debentures and

were added the "actual debt" would
approach $50,000,000,000.

Rodney Greig, young railway clerk.
Is holding back vital Information
concerning the slaying .of 19-year

attorney Frank Coakley of Alameda

He asserted the youth's story that
he stabbed the girl to death at 3

an Irresistible ' Impulse" was not the
true story of the killing and de
clared: "When we have found out the
true reason, It will resolve into a

FRONT URGED FOR
Americas Must Be Safe
From Invasion, Stressed
By Secretary Hull At
Lima.
(By The Associated Press)
The Pan-American conference heard
declarations yesterday (Saturday) by
Secretary Hull and the foreign min
isters of Argentina and Peru that the
western hemisphere must be secure
from invasion military or political.
The firm assertions by the three
keynote speakers before representa
tives of 31 nations gathered at Limn,
Peru, bro tight prolonged applause
which pointed increasingly to the
possibility of a common defense front
among the Americas.
Becretary Hull coupled his declara
tion with a warning that defense
ncatnst outside Invasion constituted
the new world's immediate and para
mount problem. '
Speaking for the United States, the
secretary of state said that so long
as the possibility of armed challenge
existed, his government would main
tain adequate defensive military,
naval and air establishments.
His stand for unity among the
Americas was strongly echoed by Dr.
Jose Maria Cantllo and Dr. Carlos
Concha. Argentine and Peruvian for
eign ministers.
Despotic governments came In par
tlcularly for a scathing denunciation
from Hull, who declared that for
centuries they had kept mankind in
slavery and degradation and now cost
"an ominous shadow athwart our
own hemisphere."
He spoke against background of
political unrest extending from the
Baltic to the Ble.'k sea in eastern
Europe and down Into Africa all
under some form of Nazi or Fascist
Inspiration.
Rumblings along Germany's eastern
border from Rumania to Memel, once
a piece of the Hohenzollern empire
but now a part of Lithuania, led to
speculation whether they signalized
another German move In her drive to
the east.
Extreme Nazis in Memel closed a
campaign for diet elections today
with statements that they considered
the voting a plebiscite to return to
Germany.
Responsible Nazis in Berlin regard
the diet elections as a mere fore
runner to complete autonomy in
that former German territory on the
Baltic.

SENATE FOES SEE
DEFEAT FOR F.D.R.
REVAMPING BILL
M'Nary For Veto Power By
Congress Over Arbitrary
Decisions By President.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 Some
of the senators who opposed the
administration's reorganization bill
in the last congress predicted today
the defeat of any new proposal to
give President RoostvcU e frto hand
to reshuffle federal bureaus.
The president told a jins confer
ence yesterday he would recemmeni
to the new congress enactment of
a reorganization bill, but said he had
no idea whether there would be any
fundamental changes from the meas
ure which evoked ft heated contro
versy last session.
In that connection Mr. Roosevelt
commented that everyone agrees the
government's administrative machin
ery should be made more efficient.
Senator McNary (R Ore.), the
minority leader, echoed this view, but
added :
"Everyone Is for reorganization if
it will promote the efficiency of gov
ernment and reduce the cost thereof.
Everyone Is willing to give a presi
dent power to abolish offices and
bureaus and transfer and amalga
mate the functions of bureaus.
"But in my opinion the majority
of congress wants to have some con
trol over arbitrary decisions by the
president."
McNary told reporters that the re
organization program could not be
enacted without an amendment gtt
tng congress the veto power over
presidential orders revamping the ad
ministrative setup. .
Such an amendment was proposed
by Senator Wheeler (D Mont.) dur
ing senate, consideration of the re-
orguntxatlon measure last session, but
was defeated, The senate then pascd
the bill, but it was pigeon-holed In
the house.
Wheeler asserted today that tne
measure still could be enacted if his
amendment were adopted.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. Up) An
thony Eden's plea for the preserva

There was no official comment at

islators had taken the former foreign
minister of Great Britain at his word
when he said he came to this coun
try purely as an individual.
Of a dozen prominent members ol
congress whose comment was re
quested, only Senator Borah ( U.,
Idaho) complied. -
"The speech was excellent and In
good taste," the foreign affairs expert
said. "It afforded the sycophancy of
the usual American speech In Eng
land and tho usually pedantic speech
of the Englishman In the United

PRAY FOR RAINS

Menacing Crops Situa
tion Critical, As Dam
Dries.
8AFFORD, Ariz., Doc. 10. (AP)
Whites and Indians, their difference
in color and race discarded In tho
common fear of unprecedented
drought conditions, prepared for a
season of supplication today In the
hope of bringing anow and rain to
fill depleted reservoirs.
As officials of the Latter Day
Saints churches in this area ordered
a day of prayer for December 18,
H. A. Ireland, extension agent for
the Pima Indian reservation at
Sacanto. disclosed "a very critical
situation" has resulted because of
tho virtual drying up of San Carlos
Jake behind Coolldge dam.
Water storage has been reduced
from 63,105 acre feet to 1.936 acre
feet during the last year.
"And though water la being pump
ed from 60 wells to substitute for
the dam's usual flow," Ireland said,
"vast arena of alfalfa and other
feed arc drying up.
"I don't know how much longer
we can hold out. It's costing us
about $1.60 an acre foot to pump
and transport water here from wells
above the reservation. That's almost
prohibitive but wo have to save
some of tho crop In the 13,000 acre
tribal plot."
The Indians are offering dally
supplication in the hope their rain
gods will fill the great Coolldge
reservoir, built by the government
In 1930, so they could turn their
arid holdings Into lush fields.
A ray of hope In the drought
threat, however, was the forecast

Three New Principles Urged
By Advisory Board To
Liberalize Present Act.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. (p) The
social security advisory council con
sidered today proposing that congress
write three new principles Into the
federal social security program.
These are:
1, Acceptance of responsibility for
the economic welfare of wlveo and
children of workers covered by the
social security act.
3. Acceptance of responsibility for
the economic welfare of the workers
themselves when they are prevented
from earning their own livings by
disability.
9. Partlat financing out of general
revenue of the costs of an expanded
social security program until a new
security tax system can be evo'.red
to meet the Increased expenditures.
The council, composed of repre
sentative! of employers, workers ana
the public, worked on recommenda
tions to congress and the president
for "liberalizing" the social security
act in the next aesslon of congress.
Informed persons said its recom
mendations would include extending
old ago insurance provisions of tho
act Immediately to 3,600,000 workers
In banks, charitable and religious
institutions and the maritime Indus
try and eventually to 6,000,000 farm
and domestic laborers.
Tho group expected to have Its
suggestions ready for presentation to
the senate finance committee and
the social security board early next
week.
Several , specific proposals have
grown out of the three new prin
ciples. One of these would provide that
when a worker dies before reaching
66 at which ago he would beln
drawing Insurance benefits tho bene
fits would go to his widow along with
additional allowances for ber chil
