Chief Justice Hughes Opposes Court Plan E. something of a sensation by sending to the senate judiciary committee a letter declaring that an increase in the number of Supreme court justices, as proposed by President Roosevelt, would not promote the efficiency He of the court. added: It is believed that it would impair that efficiency so long as the court acts as a unit. There would be more judges to hear, more judges to confer, more judges to discuss, more judges to be convinced and to decide. The present number of justices is thought to be large enough so far as the prompt, adequate and efficient conduct of the work of the court is concerned. Mr. Hughes said his letter was approved by Justices Van Devanter and Brandeis. He made it clear that he was commenting on an increase from the standpoint of efficiency and apart from any question of policy, which he said, I do not discuss. Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, Democrat, was the first opposition witness called before the committee, and he started in by reading Mr. Hughes letter. Before entering the committee room he said he believed the administration would eventually accept a compromise plan. He advocates a constitutional amendment, permitmating congress, by into court override Supreme jority, validation of acts of congress, provided a national election had intervened between invalidation and overriding. The administration will compromise, dont worry, Wheeler said. They cant get more than thirty-fiv- e senate votes for the Presidents plan. Public opinion, which swerved toward them for a while, is now swinging heavily against them. Edward S. Corwin, professor of constitutional law at Princeton, was heard by the senate committee in support of the Presidents bill and he got along very nicely until Senator Burke, leader of the opposition, called his attention to a speech the professor made a year ago and a book he wrote 25 years ago, in both of which he expressed views quite different from those he seemingly now holds. Then Senator Tom took a hand in the questioning: Now you say the court is biased. You want to add six new justices who will be biased in the other direction, dont you? Professor Corwin evaded a direct answer for some time, but Senator Connally demanded to know whether he did not support the Presidents plan for this purpose. Well, that is one of the reasons, the witness said. JUSTICE CHARLES pHIEF HUGHES created two-thir- ds sheriff said he couldnt act further until he was given a sufficient force of deputies. Governor Murphy had declared that constituted authority must be obeyed, but he explained his failure to act promptly by saying that blind adherence to a legalistic philosophy will surely lead to eventual frustration of the democratic ideal of true freedom. The committee named by the governor to devise ways of disposing of future labor disputes was busy formulating legislation; and Mr. Murphy held frequent consultations with James F. Dewey, federal conciliator. Also he was in communication with Washington. Sitdown Strikes Debated by the Senate CENATORS indulged in an nant debate concerning the strike and there were demands for a congressional investigation of this new weapon of labor. Majority Leader Joe Robinson said: Manifest! the strike is unlawful. It is not within the rights of any individual or group of individuals to seize or retain possession of property to the exclusion of the employer for the purpose of enforcing demands against the employer. However, he added, it was difficult for the federal government to do anything in the matter until the Supreme court has passed on the of the Wagner-Conner- y validity labor relations act. Senator Van Nuys of Indiana, Democrat, and others protested against this seeming effort to place on the Supreme court the blame for the epidemic of sitdown strikes. The Democratic senate whip, Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, vehemently criticized tactics of labor and demanded inIs the vestigation by congress. United States a government? Lewis asked.

If the ing terms of the concordat were not kept, said the pope, that is not the fault of the church. The other side made unfair interpretation of the concordat, evaded its provisions, undermined its content, and finally more or less openly violated its stipulations and the unwritten law governing its actions. Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitlers newspaper Voelkischer Beobachter, in an editorial interpreted as an answer to the pastoral letter, implied the concordat migi t be cancelled by the reich. At the conclusion of the concordat, the state could not know how the church would later interpret its provisions, said the newspaper, declaring that even an agreement with the holy see has not sacrosanct, untouchable and eternal anti-Christi- an Spanish Loyalists Win on Guadalajara Front government forces were victorious in some heavy fighting on the Guadalcjara front northeast of Madrid, their chief gain being the capture of Brihuega, headquarters of the insurgents. The latter, however, scored in the University City quarter of the capital, and on the southern front were preparing to attack Pozoblanco, the key to mercury, lead, sulphur and coal mining territory. Paris claimed to have information that Germans had supervised and helped a line of fortifications along the Spanish Moroccan coast that threatens British control of the Strait of Gibraltar. School Disaster Cause Not Yet Certain SEVERAL investigations into the explosion that destroyed the fine London Community school in east Texas and killed nearly 500 pupils and teachers were under way, but at this writing the cause of the disaster has not been determined. The most plausible theory was formed when D. L. Clark, field foreman for the near-b- y Parade Oil company, testified that the school had been using wet gas from the pipe lines of the company. This is a residue gas rich in butane, a highly explosive compound of carbon and hydrogen, and it is considered too dangerous for home use. Clark said he first learned the school was using the gas when he was notified that Superintendent W. C. Shaw of the school wanted it shut off. School employees said the change from gas was made dry to wet only a month ago on order of the school board chairman. That gentleman said the company knew of the use of the gas. Information elicited from witnesses indicated definitely that the crushing explosion in the school house had its origin in the air space y between the floor of the wing of the structure and the ground. About 740 children and 38 teachers were in the building at the time and nearly all who were not killed outright were injured. Of the latter it was believed many would die. one-stor- Fortitude Shown by O Refugee Wasnt Sectional .mourn Wjolklb Jhlnki about For three years no water had through the irrigation ditches of a certain rancher, and flowed his fields lay untilled and barren The ranchers shallow well dry and for several months he had hauled water for his stock and fot household purposes from a neigh, bors well five miles distant.
