The President also proposed a reform re-form in the Injunctive process which he declared would rxpediate Supreme Su-preme Court rulings on the constitutionality consti-tutionality of legislation and would fin thrr Insure "equality' and "certainty" "cer-tainty" of federal justice. He said frequent injunctions which set aside acts of congress are "in olear violation viola-tion of the principle of equity that Injunctions should be granted only In those rare cases of manifest llle-K.ilitv llle-K.ilitv and Irreparable elamaRo ucainst which the ordinary course of tiie law oilers no protection." He asked that congress forbid any injunction or decision by any federal court torn-hint: a constitutional question ques-tion without "previous and ample notice" to the attorney general to Rive the government an opportunity "to present evidence and be heard." His bill proposed that any lower court decision which involved a constitutional con-stitutional question be appealed directly di-rectly to the Supreme Court, where It would take immediate precedence over all other business. New Peal leaders in congress were expected to back the President's Presi-dent's proposals solidly, while it became be-came apparent that the conservative Democrats mi;;ht align with the solid Republican group in opposing it. The latter croup saw in the bill a direct attempt to get rid of some f the older justices of the Supreme Court who have proved continual stumbling, blocks for pet New Deal acts. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hushes, approaching 73. has voted sometimes to sustain, sometimes to Invalidate New Deal laws. Justice Willis Van Deventer, 73, has invariably invari-ably opposed New Peal laws; so have James Clark McReynoMs, 73; George Sutherland, 75. and Pierce FutU-r. 71. Louis Denibitz Brandeis. SO. h.is voted to sustain New Deal acts, except in the case of the NRA. rejected by unanimous decision. If the President is successful in putting over the proposed changes it will be the eighth time in the 143 years of the Supreme Court's history that the number of justices has been changed.

SECRETARY of the Interior Harold Har-old Ickes and the national resources re-sources committee of which he is chairman have produced a public '" "j water program for the next six years, and it was submitted submit-ted to congress by President Roosevelt with the recommendation recommen-dation that it should be adopted. It Involves In-volves the expenditure expendi-ture of five billion dollars and calls for tuiiijj sum niiiiuai Harold lekcs appropriations under the regular budget for a list of approved ap-proved projects, and allocation of the funds to a permanent public works or development agency. As the chief part of the plan, Mr. Roosevelt presented congress with a list of some $2,750,000,000 worth or water conservation projects, including in-cluding a $116,000,000 tlood-control program in the inundated Ohio and Mississippi river valleys. In his transmission message the President warned congress against considering each project as a separate sep-arate entity. The report, he said, "should, of course, be read in conjunction con-junction with the recommendations recommenda-tions for highways, bridges, dams. Hood control, and so forth, already under construction, estimates for which l ave been submitted in the budget." "During the depression," he told congress, "we have substantially increased in-creased the facilities and developed the resources of our country for the common welfare through public works and work-relief programs. "We have been compelled to undertake un-dertake actual work somewhat hurriedly hur-riedly in the emergency. "Now it is time to develop a long-range long-range plan and policy for construction construc-tion to provide the best use of our resources and to prepare in advance against any other emergency. " The committee that drew up this program includes, besides Mr. Ickes. Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring. WPA dministrator Harry Har-ry Hopkins. Secretary of Agriculture Agricul-ture Henry A. Wallace. Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins. Secretary oi Commerce Daniel C Roper. Frederic A. Delano, uncle of the President, and Charles E. Morriam.

Bailey Bail-ey of North Carolina and others, including the few- Republicans, the senate passed the house deficiency relief bill carrying an appropriation appropria-tion cf $943.7Co.5dS. Senator Eailey spoke in support of his amendment which would require a means test, or "pauper's oath." as some have called it for states, counties, and their political subdivisions subdi-visions to secure federal aid for their re!ie requirements. The amendment was rejected without a record vote. Out cf the total allocated in the bill for "relief and -crk relief." about S?5O.C00.1 was expected to be given tf the Works Progress Administration.

He has been cashing in on his closeness to the White House by writing for periodicals, and his latest lat-est article, entitled "Whose Party Is It?" in the Saturday Evening Post, brought this statement released re-leased by Assistant White House Secretary Early: "The President announced the death of the 'official spokesman' in March, 1933. He now announces the passing of the so-called authoritative authorita-tive spokesman those who write as 'one of the President's closest advisers.' ad-visers.'
