the worst ever occurring on an Illinois highway was caused by the explosion of tire JUSTICE CHARLES E created something of a sensation by sending to the senate judiciary committee a letter declaring that an increase in the number of Sucourt juspreme tices as proposed by President Roosevelt “would not promote the efficiency of the court" Ho added "It is believed that it would impair that efficiency so long as the court acts as a " unit “There would be more judget 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 of adequate and efficient conduct the work of the court is concerned” Mr Hughes said his letter was approved by Justices Van Devanter and Brandcis 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 and he started In by committee Bereading Mr Hughes’ letter fore entering the committee room he said he believed the administration would eventually accept a compromise plan He advocates a constitutional amendment permitmaby ting congress jority to override Supreme court invalidation of acts of congress provided a national election had intervened between invalidation and overriding “The administration will compromise don’t worry" Wheeler said ‘They can’t get more than thirty-fiv- e senate votes for the President’s plan Public opinion which swerved toward them for a while is now swinging heavily against them " Prominent among the witnesses for the opposition to the President’s plan was Raymond Moley former head of the "brain trust" and now professor of public law at Columbia university He was outspoken in denouncing some of the Supreme court's decisions and favored the amendment method He told the committee we might as well not have a constitution at all as to pack the Supreme court for the purpose of securing favorable judicial construction Carried to its logical conclusion he said the President’s proposal
