"Members of the Court themselves have charged that it amounted to a clear usurpation of legislative power by the judges that it changed the basic theory of our Constitution that it protected wealth at the expense of poverty that it stripped the states of their powers and transferred these powers to the dominant five or six Quoting decisions showing that minority judges had thus criticized majority action Senator Black charged: prevailing dominant five-judge economic and social philosophy is becoming a part of our Constitution not by amendments approved by our people but by the decisions of lifetime judges philosophy of the five judges is gradually and sometimes silently (as Jefferson said) absorbing to the Federal judiciary the only governmental department not responsible to the people all the legislative rights of state and federal governments" Urging the plan to add six new justices Senator Black concluded: Welcomes 'New Ideas FLAVORING the complete 1 separation of powers executive judicial and legislative I naturally believe it is time to stop' these judicial usurpations brought about according to statements of their own judicial rolleagues by the economic fallacies of a majority of the Supreme Court "I welcome the possibility of new ideas on the bench" On March 24 in an address at Madison Square Garden he again pleaded for the President's plan and concluded by pointing out that President Harding had appointed three of the present members of the Court Harding philosophy now controls the Supreme Court" he said people however have adopted the progressive policy of Roosevelt That great philosophy is that there is no greater domestic issue than the protection of human being as human beings Constitution and our Government can best be preserved for our people by an interpretation of this Constitution as a document which puts human beings in the place of first importance" (Continued Tomorrow) FARLEY" ADFRESSES POSTMASTERS Br Ax-Hated PrrM

afraid of is that Warner Brothers might put him in a love scene some time He Just couldn't get amorous with one of these Hollywood dolls Another thing he doesn't like is the local night life and he

permitting state officials at tha request of their governor to examine returns Early In his career Senator Black became concerned about freedom of press and radio In an article published in 1930 he advocated a ban on ownership of radio stations by public utilities and Mid: "I believe a monopoly on supplying public information the most dangerous that can be Imagined Mature reflection of political philosophers has always led to the conclusion that freedom and uncensored discussion of public men and events are inseparably united" In May 1930 Black offered a resolution charging that packers were violating their consent decree and calling on the Attorney General to enforce it About the ume time he made a radio address about disclosures from the Trade Commission's utility investigation in which he said: and unjust profits in any line of business constitute undue burden upon industry ar a whole and must ultimately be paid for by exacting an unfair tax or tribute from those who toil Excessive profit bring about an unequal distribution of the fruits of labor and an undesirable concentration of wealth Monopoly stalks his appointment by Harding In 1922 Similarly Stanley Matthews of Ohio was appointed to the court in 1881 three years after leaving the Senate Levi Woodbury of New Hampshire was appointed directly from the Senate to the Court in 1845 In 1837 ex-Sen John McKinley of Alabama

confirms him he will be surrounded by colleagues whom he has charged with He has bitterly assailed various derisions of the Court holding New Deal laws unconstitutional "Neither the people who wrote nor the reople who approved the Constitution ever contemplated that the Supreme Court should become all-powerful and omnipotent" he said in a radio address February 22 He quoted Charles Evans Hughes' remark that Constitution is what the judges say it is" and continued: statement is correct if we alter it to read that The Constitution is what five of the Supreme Court judges say it is and what four

the Supreme Court since Grover Cleveland appointed Sen Edward Douglas White a Confederate veteran from Louisiana in 1894 Whit wm Cleveland's third choice The first two William Homblower and Wheeler Peckham were turned down by the Senate at the behest of Sen David Bennett Hill of New York who branded them "personally objectionable" and thus invoked a traditional rule of senatorial courtesy (Hill was angry because both men had been members of a New York bar committee that Investigated state election scandals) Senator White was confirmed on the day the nomination was received Sixteen years later President Taft elevated him to be Chief Justice The Supreme Court has not always been regarded as preferable to the Senate Justice David Davis a Lincoln appointee resigned from the court in 1877
