THE ENQUIRER, CINCINNATI, FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1037 HOUSE FAVORS REPEAL BRUNETTE King's Proctor Asks Advice To Arrange Program For CCC Institute Of Court On Simpson Case; Secret Hearing Due Friday SENATORS Clash At Hearing On Hill To Reorganize High Federal Court. Democrat, Nebraska, inquired of Green. "Since they are part of the government I can't think of them as not being subject to political control." Green replied. "How can you have political control and at the same time a wholly independent judiciary?" "They are thoroughly compatible. Of course Congress would not come down every morning and reform the Supreme Court.

It would act only when a situation continues until the court has crystalizcd." Under questioning by Senator M. M. Neely, Democrat, West Virginia, Green explained that by "political control" of the court he meant "politics in the highest sense of that word, not partisan politics." Questioned by Tom Connally, Democrat, Texas, Green said he believed NRA would have been held invalid "by any Supreme Court, even a fair-minded one." In response to questioning by Senator W. H. Dieterich, Democrat, Illinois, Green testified that "a powerful administrator like the present Chief Justice" could use a larger court "to great advantage." Green suggested the Supreme Court be organized like Circuit Courts, with a small group handling minor cases and the whole tribunal passing on major questions.

RAI'S TWO-TIIIKI) PLAN. If more than two-thirds of the Justices were required to concur in overthrowing an Act of Congress, he continued, the Court "would be placed largely in the control of a minority." Such a situation would be "outside the spirit of the Constitution," he continued. em urged passage of the bill to obtain a "reinterpretation of the Constitution" and provide a "fair Supreme Court." In a sharp cross-examination, Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney, Democrat, Wyoming, asserted the bill held only a "pious hope" such a reinterpretation would ense. Green disagreed.

He conceded nothing in the measure guaranteed a "reinterpretation" of the nation's basic law, but contended emphatically the "chances are almost overwhelmingly" in favor of such a result. OFFICE SEKKIXG DENIED With an air of triumph, opposition Senators confronted Green with assertions his prepared statement had been submitted to the Justice Department for revision and that he was a candidate for appointment to the Circuit Court of Appeals. He denied both contentions. Green answered he had read the statement over in the presence of "some of his friends" in the Justice Department, but changes subsequently made were his own idea. group of good friends, he said, had submitted his name for an appointment to the bench, but he, nevertheless, was not a candidate.

"Have no worry about that, Professor Green," Chairman H. F. Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona, interrupted. "Many Senators are feverishly yearning for such an appointment." This was disputed by Senator O'Mahoney. "I know that the Senator from Arizona (Ashurst) positively declined an appointment to the bench." "Correct," said Ashurst.

"And I know of no Senator feverishly yearning to be appointed to the courts," O'Mahoney persisted. "A bill for the retirement of Supreme Court Justices was recently passed with the full knowledge by members of Congress that it probably would make it impossible for any member of the House or Senate to be appointed." "That doesn't alter the fact," Ashurst said, "that many Senators yearn for an office where they won't have to meet the people." "Do you believe the courts are subject to some measure of political control?" Senator E. R.

He began to whisper, stroking her cheek with his hand. Suddenly the psychiatrist looked up at Dr. HlHnk, who was recording her pulse. "Within one minute, Helen Is going to awaken," he said. Exactly f2 seconds later she began staring, wide-eyed, unhllnklng-ly, across the room.

"There you are, Helen." the doctor said, soothingly. "Now you're awake. You're going to stay awake, aren't you?" She rolled her head slightly to look at him. "Do you know me, Helen? You know what my name Is, don't you?" She tiled three times and 'ben spoke his name, faintly. She then named Dr.

Plank. Then she burst into tears. The tears flowed rapidly down her cheeks. She asked for water and moaned and cried querulously. She wanted (o know why photographers were there.

She seemed to hHve no memory of the time that had elapsed. As soon as she recovers, she will be sentenced to prison for from seven years to life. Deans Of Notre Dame And Northwestern Law Schools Favor Roosevelt Plan. Washington, March 18 (AP) The deans of two university Jaw schools, appearing today at a turbulent hearing in which Senators napped and glowered at eacft ether, called for the enactment of the Roosevelt court reorganization proposal. Dean Thomas F.

Konop of Notre Dame described the measure as a "safety valve to save the Supreme Court and its jurisdiction." Unless It is enacted, he said, an "outraged" people will put through an amendment "sweping the Supreme Court out of the constitutional picture."

Tomorrow's cause list of the law courts said Sir Thmas Barnes, the King's Proctor, will appear at 10:30 o'clock Friday In chambers before the President of the Divorce Courts, Sir Boyd Merriman, to make the request Legal experts said the intervener, who was not mentioned in the item, waa of the "common informer" classification under which any person may appear and give information In a pending divorce action. The "informer," according to reliable information given to the United Press, is neither prominent nor directly involved in the Simpson divorce case. The chief authority of the King's Proctor and that most frequently exercised is to step in and produce evidence showing that the decree nisi or temporary decree of divorcebe set aside.

Mrs. Simpson obtained her decree nisi from Ernest Aldrlch Simpson, London ship broker, at Ipswich Assize Court lust October 27 on the uncontested grounds of adultery. Ordinarily her final decree would be handed down April 27, after which Bhe would be free to marry former King Edward. The King's Proctor probably will present the details of the Intervention in court tomorrow and, if they are not considered sufficiently justifiable by Sir Boyd Merriman, the court probably will instruct Sir Thomas to Inform the mysterious "intervener" the court will not proceed.

Huntington, W. March 18 (AP) The defending attorneys for Charles Ealdwln, charged with having slain his mother, lost a tactical move today and there remained on the court records the testimony that a red stain on Baldwin's pajama coat was not his own blood. Counsel for the forty-one-year-old lawyer and former army Captain made a motion, as a long day of legal battling ended, to throw out the testimony of two blood-test experts. After a conference In chambers, Judge H. Clay Warth overruled the motion.

Progress of the trial that grew out of the death of 63-year-old Mrs. Juliette B. Enslow, member of one of Huntington's first families, was brought to a standstill by a session devoted exclusively to pathological technicalities. In the Investigation of the tragedy of the Thlid Avenue mansion last October 17, police corraled as evidence a stained pillow from Mis, Enslow's bed, a towel which was found around her neck, a handkerchief found in the basement, and the coat of Baldwin's pajamas.

Legal authorities said any "Interested member of the public" might hire his own attorney and technically take the place of the King's Procter and show cause why the divorce should not be mado absolute. The private lawyer would proceed by trying to prove a technicality had been violated or neglected when the decree nisi was handed down, or collusion or undisclosed adultery by the person seeking the divorce. It wag Impossible tonight to determine the motive behind the intervention. A "common Informer" might cause the case to be reopened became of compelling religious or patriotic acruples. An authority on such matters told the United Press his Information that intervention was Involved in tomorrow's proceedings was substantiated by the phrase "for direction," indicating the King's proctor feels a need of advice on how to proceed.

So far only one ground has been disclosed In the British courts for expediting a final decree. That is pregnancy. One of the chief purposes of the six-month Interim period between granting of a decree nisi and an absolute decree Is to establish whether a child Is to be born. In Mrs. Simpson's case, however, it was pointed out there was rare likelihood of any attempt to expedite her divorce decree inasmuch as only 41 days remain until expiration of the six-month decree nisi period.

It was believed, had she sought to speed up the decree, such action would have been started long ago. The belief persisted, therefore, the Intervention involved some effort to nullify the decree.
