Senator Tells Federal Bar It Sought to Curb

Government. Although refraining from any direct

Indorsement of President Roosevelt's proposal to Increase the size of the Supreme Court. Senator Barkley. Democrat, of Kentucky, last night told the Federal Bar Association the court has sought “ways by which to

nullify the powers of the Federal Gov- ernment in dealing with national problems.”

Senator Barkley, keynote speaker at the last Democratic National Con- vention, delivered the principal ad- dress at the association's seventeenth annual dinner in the Mayflower Hotel.

Devoting most of his address to

discussing the philosophy of the late Chief Justice John Marshall, Senator Barkley said:

“While Marshall sought to cement, to establish and strengthen the power of the Federal Government in dealing with problems under its jurisdiction, the more recent course of the same

court has been to find ways by which to nullify the powers of the Federal Government in dealing with problems that are national in their scope.

Probable Attitude.

“I venture the prophecy,” he added, “that t John Marshall were living today and occupied the same position he held for 34 years, he would not

hesitate to hold the power of the Na-

tional Government to be sufficient mjdfir the Constitution to prevent the collapse of our economic and social institutions.”

Discussing a proposed amendment by Former Senator Richard M. John- son of Kgptucky, which would have substituted the Senate for the Su- preme Court In the determination of all constitutional questions, Senator Barkley said:

i trunK we are ready to agree that It would have been a serious mistake to have substituted the United States Senate for the Supreme Court in the final adjudication of the controver- sies arising under the Constitution. Such an amendment would have de- stroyed the independent character of the three branches of the Govern- ment. It would have placed the Sen- ate in the embarrassing position after enacting a law' of passing on its con-

stitutionality. • * *”

Declaring the framers of the Con- stitution evidently had little faith in the ability of the people to govern themselves. Senator O’Mahoney, Dem- ocrat. of Wyoming told the Federal lawyers:

“The Constitution was drafted by persons who had no faith in the abil- ity of the people to control them- selves. but it has been made into an

instrument of popular Government. Love of liberty on the part of the American people is a force that will continue to serve the public welfare. The people of this country believe the Government should be used to serve the people. The people have the abil- ity to make the Constitution serve

their welfare and their benefit.’’ Misuse of injunctions was attacked

by James M. Landis, chairman of the Securities Exchange Commission, who is resigning to become dean of the Harvard Law School.

"Traditional legal concepts,” he said, “should not be allowed to block progress. The development of our law should be the handmaiden of progress.”

Representative Sol Bloom of New York spoke on the sesquicentennial of the Constitution. Stressing the many contributions of George Wash- ington to the drive that resulted finally in adoption of the Constitution, he said: “At every step of the way. Wash- ington made the Constitution possi- ble.”

of Tax Appeals and president of the association, presided and introduced the speakers.

Roosevelt Appeals to New York Legislature to Rat-

ify Amendment. MW the Associates Press.

ALBANY, N. Y, February 33 —

President Roosevelt appealed to the Legislature of his home State yester- day to be “prompt” In ratification of the Federal child labor amendment, pending since 1824.

He sent a telegram to Oov. Herbert H. Lehman, his successor as New York chief executive, which was read at a six-hour public hearing on the proposal before the‘llepubllcan-domi- nated Assembly Judiciary Committee

"The measure has passed the Sen- ate,” the President said, “and I sin- cerely trust the Assembly will take similar action as quickly as possible. I hope very much my own home State will be prompt In ratification.”

Thus far 27 of the 36 necessary States have approved ratification.

The President’s appeal was the hlghspot of a hearing at which a

Catholic bishop assailed the proposed amendment as “an unwarranted In- vasion of parental rights" and organ-

lied labor urged Immediate ratifica- tion "on humanitarian grounds.'

Assembly Chamber Filled. _

Nearly 1,000 business men, clergy- men, laborers, lawyers, educators and women voters crammed every nook and corner of the vast Assembly chamber for the discussion, slated by Republican Assembly chieftains after the Democratic controlled Senate ratified In a surprise move two weeks ago.

The Assembly Judiciary Committee will meet today to consider the pro- posal. Its chairman. Republican As- semblyman Harry A. Reoux, of War- ren County, Is opposed to ratification.

Bishop Edmund P. Gibbons of the Albany Roman Catholic diocese termed the proposed amendment "a menace to the real welfare of millions of children throughout the entire Na- tion.”

"Give us a measure which, while aiming to reform social evils and cor- rect economic Injustices, does not by its broadness and excess of power lead to far greater evils, and we will be for it to a man,” he declared.

Offlciab Urge Passage. George S. Meany, president of the

State Federation of Labor, asserted that "no argument is necessary to sustain the need for this amendment on humanitarian grounds," while the State Labor Department through In- dustrial Commissioner Elmer P. An- drews, argued that "a national common

standard would be a gain to all States” and "solve the question of Interstate competition.”

New Yo«k City's fiery Republican-

fusion mayor. Fiorello H. La Guardla, called for Immediate ratification "so that New York State can take Its rightful place among the enlightened.' humane States of the Union.”

"When this amendment was voted In Congress,1* he said, "34 members of the House of Representatives from New York State voted In favor of it and S were not present. Why should you change this attitude now?”

Speaking as a member of Congress when the proposed amendment was

Instituted, the Mayor, at times pound- ing the desk in front of him with clenched fist, explaining reasons for phraseology to which some opponents object.

He said the word "person” was used "deliberately to let every one know Just whom we were talking about."

The word "labor,” La Guardla ex-

plained, was “deliberately used for the same reason and the age limit was set at 18 years so as to cut down the chiseling we know will be at- tempted."

“Did you know," he asked the com-

mittee, "that the 9-year-old bride down In Tennessee is not a child under the laws of that State?”

Statements were read Into the rec-

ord from United States Senator Rob- ert F. Wagner, Democrat, and Repre- sentative Hamilton Fish, Republican, favoring ratification, as well as from Warden Lewis E. Lawes of Sing Sing Prison, United States Attorney Gen- eral Homer Cummings and A. H MacCormlck, New York City com-

missioner of correction. Opposition to the proposed amend-

ment wa* voiced by representative* at New York State farm organisation*, the American Bar Association, the New York State Economic Council, the New York State Rural School So- ciety, the New York City Merchants' Association, the League Against the Federal Control of Youth and the New York State Council of the Knights of Columbus.

Application Date Extended. The closing date for applications

for tree surgeon, National Park Serv- ice, has been extended to Friday, the Civil Service Commission announced today. The pay ranges from *3.04 to *8 30 daily.
