Port (Continued 00 Page Eight) - MARTIN CALLS ON ARMY MEN TO HEAD FIGHT FOR "AMERICAN DEMOCRACY" TULSA, Okla., Nov. 8 (Al') America's World war soldiers were called upon by Governor Charles Martin of Oregon to lead the fight to "preserve American democracy," in an address de livered Sunday at the reunion of the 90th division, U. B. army. The nation "has no need for dictatorship whether it be a dictatorship of the proletariat or a dictatorship of the so-called totalitarian type." he told the men, whom he commanded as a major general during the war. "Aside from the fight to make a living, we have a greater fight 1.--that of seeing that the Ameri can form of government is pre served and banded down to pos terity. "We are beset On all sides by pressures of the most invidious and insidious kind to alter our governmental atructure Into a form that is totally alien to our philosophy." The governor observed "Amer icans have made more progress than any other peopl e," and termed "so much hog wash" talk that dentocraciea could not meet the issues of the day. OIL COMPANIES FAIL IN TRY TO UNSEAT HACK New Justice Reads First Opinion, Votes Against ' Government. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (W) Three Florida oil companies lost In the supreme court today in their effort to obtain reconsider ation of recent action on the ground that Justice Hugo L. Black was ineligible to sit on the bench. The court gave no explanation of ita refusal to grant pre-consideration. That was in line with regular procedure in such action. ' Dissents la One Case The announcement was made after Black had read one opinion which he had written, dissented to another and' voted against the government in a third cue. The new justice's eligibility immediately was questioned again in a motion which the court per mitted Robert Gray Taylor of Me dia. Pa., to file on behalf of him self and Elizabeth L. Seymour of Salamanca, N. Y. Taylor, who made the motion in person, said he was chairman of the Philadel phia court plate committee. The motion sought the tribun al's permission to file a brief "containing certain allegations af fecting the legality of the oath taken by Hugo Black, a sitting associate justice of the supreme court of the United States." Bias Charged The Florida companies sought reconsideration of the court's re fusal on October 18 to interfere with attempts by the security commission to subpoena telegrams sent and received by the compan ies. Not only was the constitution ality of Black's appointment chal lenged, but the petition contend ed the court's action on the liti gation was "invalid, ineffectual, null and void" because the new Justice "could not sit in judg ment as an unbiased, unpreju diced, fair and impartial judge." After recalling that Black, while chairman of the senate lobby com mitte, had attempted to use tele grams obtained by the communi cations commission from persons under investigation, the petition added; "Justice Black recorded him self as being definitely attitudin ized in favor of the right of a gov ernment agency to coerce private telegrams from a telegraph com pany by the use of a blanket sub poena." Same Reasons The three concerns were the Ryan Florida Corporation of Tam pa, Income Royalties company of St. Petersburg and Florida Tex Oil company of St. Petersburg. They asked the court to consider their petition in the absence of Black, T h petitioners contended Black's appointment was not valid because the retirement of Jus tice .Willis Van Deventer did not create a vacancy on the court and also because Black had been a member of the senate which in creased the "emoluments" of jus tices in the retirement act, In his first supreme court de cision, Black sustained a ;ederal trade commission contention that two firms had engaged in un (Continued on Page Eight) HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS TAKE 181 WES OVER WEEKEND , By The Associated Press Sudden death took no weekend holiday for America's motoring millions.
