In Spile of the Press
The New York Herald-Tribune.
"A glance at the apes of the present member
of the supreme court completes the sham of Presi
dent Roosevelt's contention . . .
"Their crime is that thy have declared new
deal statutes unconstitutional. With a deplorable
lack of candor, Mr. Roosevelt attempts to hide his
real motive under apparently plausible arguments.
Judging by the reactions of the press and the lead
ing minds of the country, he has failed to deceive
any one."
Frank Gannett, Publisher of 16 Newspapers.
"A year ago I predicted that this is exactly
what would happen if Roosevelt were re-elected.
The supreme court having declared invalid many
of the administration's measures, the president
now resorts to a plan of creating a supreme court
that will be entirely sympathetic with his ideas.
' 'The supreme court has been the anchor that
has held America safe thru many storms. Its ab
solute independence and integrity must never be
in doubt."
The Omaha World-Herald.
"The question thus raised is obviously of the
gravest significance. It is whether the constitution,
changed at all. should be changed by a proposed
amendment, submitted to the people and approved
by them, or changed by judicial construction under
executive pressure. It is whether the constitution
is to continue to be fundamental law, governing
presidents, congresses, the states, the courts them
selves, or be relegated to the limbo of outgrown
and discarded things."
The New York Times.
"His action leaves him fairly open to the
charge that he is endeavoring 'to do by indirection
what he cannot do directly. Cleverness and adroit
ness in dealing with the supreme court are not
qualities which sober minded citizens will approve.
Xor will the fact fail to be emphasized that Mr.
Roosevelt gave not a single hint of such a scheme
in any of his speeches during the campaign . . .
Congress may make haste to prostrate itself be
fore the president's will, but fortunately there are.
in that bod- enough good lawyers to make sure
that the bill will have full and searching discus
sion. The closest scrutiny will be given those parts
of it dealing with the personnel of judges. Therein
lies the greatest danger of political sharp practice
a thing which Americans are not yet ready to
condone under the name of judicial reform."
The Kansas City Times.
"There is nothing sacrosanct in the size of the
supreme court. It has been changed several times
in the past. But if this nation is to lodge in the
federal government absolute powers over industry
and commerce, that question should be decided by
the people themselves directly and fairly."
The Los Angeles Times.
"The issue is the independence of the judiciary.
I.'espite the president's attempts at camouflage,
the fpet that this is the issue ha.s been universally
recognized. A few halfhearted new dealers, such
as Senator Robinson, attempt to discuss the pro
posals as a "reform" intended to expedite justice
and having no other purpose. But the more radical
of the president's followers make no bones of the
matter and openly espouse the proposal to bring
the courts into subjugation . . .
' If the people wish to confer additional power?
upon the federal government, it is their privilege
to do so by constitutional amendment. But to have
congress and the executive attempt to gain these
powers by subterfuge is quite another matter."
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
'Having failed to intimidate the court, the
president now proposes to park it . . .
"Finally, the effect of the president's proposal
would be to destroy the independence of one of
the three co-ordinate branches of our government.
et up by the authors of the constitution to check
and balance one another a device which has
proved its profound value scores of times in o.ir
history. That is, henceforth, the judiciary would
not be a branch of the federal structure answer
able only to its own conscience and judgment, but
subject to the executive branch.
"A mere stating of the proposition condemns
it."
The press of the nation has spoken.
The press of the-nation spoke during the last
campaign, but the people of the country had the
last word.
But this time the most influential editorial
pages of the country, as shown by the excerpts
above, have become doubly vigilant in crying
"Wolf!" as loudly as the report of the audit bureau
of circulations permits them. Their colorful word
pictures of F. D. "Hitler'' Roosevelt have become
twice as obnoxious; their references to the vague
generalizations of demagog uery have become dou
bly frequent.
Roosevelt is charged by every critic with in
tent to "pack" the court. Conservative presidents
have been "packing" the court with ex-corporation
lawyers for years; it was Roosevelt's hard luck,
not his fault, that the present court turned out to
be octogenarians with a determination to live
equalled only by their determination to kill that
legislation which the electorate has approved by
reading an interpretation into a vague constitution.
If this is Roosevelt's hard luck, they say, let
him submit his legislation to the people through
constitutional amendment; then the court will ap
prove it. This is probably their most intelligent
proposal; it would save the salaries of 531 con
gressmen. Emergency measures would have their
velocity of enactment reduced to the snail's pace
TIGERS TONIGHT
Huskers Battle for First
Victory of Wrestling
Season.
Eight Cornhusker wrestlers left
this morning for Columbia Mo.,
where, they will tangle with the
Mizzou Tigers this evening in a
dual mat meet. The Huskers will
be trying for their first win of
the season.
The Knight brothers, Milburn
and Jim, will be trying to brea
the tie that exists between them
for high scoring honors. If they
follow their season long practice
of getting first in every meet, it
is likely that scoring honors will
have to be divided. Both men have
piled up eleven points since the
season started. Competition is
groat for the position vacated by
Beno Funkon of last year's team
who held high scoring honors.
Flash Flasnick, two year veteran,
who has not crossed into promised
land as yet, indicated that he
would be 'in the money" tonight.
Brock Makes Team.
A surprise of last week's train
ing period was the substitution of
Charlie Brock, sophomore grid
star, in the lineup as the heavy
weight of the team. Brock got
the nod over Carl Yost, veteran
heavy, when the footballer out
charged Yost in trials held Wed
nesday. Brock started working
out with the team last week. Un
der the supervision of Coach Jerry
Adams and Dutch Simons he
quickly picked up the fundamen
tals. Only two members of last year's
Misouri team will be in the ring
tonight. Howard Harness, who de
feated Fred Webster in the pre
vious meet, will tangle with Mil
burn Knight, sophomore sensa
tion in the 118 pound class, while
Carl Hulen, who wrestled in the
155 pound class last year, will try
his hand in the 145 pound weight.
Hulen defeated Fred Mallon in
the 1936 encounter, and wrestles

BRIDGE ERECTION
(Continued from Page 1.)
March of 1933 work was begun. In
November of 1936 the bridge was
open to traffic, just 80 years after
it was first seriously conceived."
The final cost was $78,000,000,
and the bridge is the longest in the
world, covering 8 1-4 miles. It
spans the longest stretch of navig
able water ever attempted, and is
three times as long as the next
longest bridge, the Firth of Forth
in Scotland, which stretches some
8,350 feet. When the Golden Gate
bridge is completed it will !e the
second longest in the world.
71,00 Miles of Wire Used.
The American Steel and Wire
company for which Mr. Slason is
salesman furnished the wires used
in the suspension cables, and ac
cording to him. "17.4G4 wires were
used in each cable. In all of the
cables of the bridge 71.000 miles
of wire were used, and 43 miles
of 2 1-4 inch suspender ropes. The
wire in the cables would reach
3-10 of the distance from earth to
the moon. They contain fabricate I
steel and IS percent of the entire
production of this material in the
United States in 1933 was used."

in not submitting the entire "issue of the judicial
veto to the electorate in the form of an amend
ment. Roosevelt has been in politics long enough
to know how the forces of propaganda can influ
ence public opinion: the entire issue of judicial
review would be so clouded with emotionality
the type of drivel that the American Liberty league
poured into our ears during the recent campaign
that the nation would be pushed back years on
its road to recovery. Lincoln faced a similar crisis,
and a civil war was the outcome. Possibly history
will remember Roosevelt for a plan, "indirect'' as
it may be, for clearing the obstacles to the prog

the general sentiment even in this

thought the ending of "Winter

When Doc Lcwry Charles was
about to read "The Damn Thing"
to 'ie 9 o'clock section of the

Innes tells us he asked for the
name of the author. After sev

that although he couldn't give
the writer, the name was ta
