Disavows Any Intent
To 'Pack' Tribunal
Words Have Been Read
Into The Constitution By
High Judiciary, He Says
WASHINGTON, March 9.-(P?-
President Rooseyelt called for swift
enactment of his court reorganiza-
tion bill tonight to "save the Con-
stitution from the Court and the
court from Itself."
In outspoken fashion, the Chief Ex-
ecutive asserted the high tribunal
had "improperly set itself up" as a
"super legislature," and had read into
the constitution "words and implica-
tions which are not there and which
were never intended to be there."
Disavows Intent to 'Pack'
At the same time, he disavowed any
intent to "pack" the court with
"spineless puppets who would disre-
gard the law" and decide cases as he
might wish them decided, and assert-
ed the processes of constitutional
amendment were too slow for the
pressing problems of the day.
His address, a "fireside chat" de-
livered from the small oval room on
the ground floor of the White House,
was the second devoted to a fighting
appeal for passage of his bill to per-
mit the enlargement of the court un-
less justices over seventy retire.
"We must find a way to take an
appeal from the Supreme Court to
the Constitution itself," he said. "We
want a Supreme Court which will do
Justice under the Constitution-not
- In our courts we want a gov-
ernment of laws not of men.
Wants Constitution Enforced
"I want-as all Americans want-
an independent judiciary as proposed
by the framers of the Constitution.
That means a Supreme Court that
will enforce the Constitution as writ-
ten-that will refuse to amend the
Constitution by the arbitrary exer-
cise of judicial power-amendment
by judicial say-so. It does not mean
a judiciary so independent that it
can deny the existence of facts uni-
versally recognized."
A major section of the address was
devoted to answering the three most-
frequently heard criticisms of his
proposal- that it is an effort to
"pack" the court, that it would create
a precedent which a future President
with dictatorial ambitions could turn
to his advantage and that the solu-
tion of the problem lies rather in a
Constitutional amendment.
Speaks On 'Packing' Charge
Of the "packing" charge, the Pres-
ident said:
"If by that phrase the charge is
made that I would appoint and the
Senate would confirm justices worthy
to sit beside present members of the
court who understand modern condi-
ions-that I will appoint justices who
will not undertake to override the
judgment of the Congress on legisla-
tive policy-that I will appoint jus-
tices who will act as justices and not
as legislators-if the appointment of
such justices can be called "packing
the courts," then I say that I and
with me the vast majority of the
American people favor doing just
that thing - now."
Amendment Process
Of "precedent:"
"Fundamentally, in the future, if
the American people cannot trust the
Congress it elects to refrain from
abuse of our constitutional usages,
democracy will have failed far be-
yond the importance to it of any kind
of precedent concerning the judi-
ciary."
And of the amendment process:
"It would take months or years to
get substantial agreement upon the
type and language o an amend-
ment. It would take months and
years, thereafter, to get a two-thirds
majority in favor of that amendment
in both Houses of Congress. Then
would come the long course of ratifi-
cation by three-fourths of the states.
No amendment which any powerful
economic interests of the leaders of
any powerful political party have had
reason to oppose has ever been rati-
fled within anything like a reason-

T.A.Boyd Talks
To Conference
On Occupations
General Motors Executive
Urges Scientific View Of
Propaganda
A scientific attitude towards the
"vague misconceptions and falsify-
ing propaganda of modern times"
should be developed by every indi-
vidual, T. A. Boyd, director of fuel re-
search for General Motors Co. told
the Occupational Information Con-
ference last night in the Union.
In all the problems of life, Mr.
Boyd emphasized, the methods of re-
search are applicable. First all the
available facts must be ascertained,
he said, then those facts must be
faced and conclusions drawn only
from such definite knowledge, not
from wishful thinking.
Stressing lack of personality as
a great cause for failure in the busi-
ness world, Earle J. Failor, comp-
troller of the National Bank of De-
troit gave the first talk in the series.
One of the most common faults of
new employes, though not the only
one nor one always present, he said,
is impatience. "They are willing to
start in as vice-president, perhaps,
and work up from there. It is that
which causes them to lose out."
The Conference will hear, at 4
p.m. today a talk on "Government
Service" by J. F. Ballenger, district
manager of the Detroit social se-
curity board. In the evening ses-
sion, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the

LABOR AT A GLANCE
Chrysler officials reiterate refusali
to recognize United Automobile
Workers of America as sole bargain-
ing agency for its 67,000 employes,
in meeting behind striker held gates. I
Agree to meet again tomorrow.
Nine Chrysler plants in Detroit'
area remain closed, with approxi-
mately 55,000 workers idle. Officials
of Hudson Motor Car Co. plan meet-
ing with union Wednesday afternoon
while sit down strike in its plant here
continues with 10,000 workers affect-,
ed.
Governor Murphy, who brought
about truce in recent General Motors
strike, plans return to Detroit from
Florida vacation to aid in newest tie

Chrysler Corporation announces,
stop orders to numerous suppliers,
with whom it says it spends approxi-
mately $50,000,000 monthly.,
DETROIT, March 9.-P---Chrys-
ler Corporation executives, in a peace
parley behind picket-held factory
gates, persisted tonight in refusal to
recognize the United Automobile.
Workers of America as sole bargain-1
ing age'icy for 67,000 employes. 1
"The answer is still 'No,' " com-
pany representatives informed the1
union before today's conference ad-
journed. The meetings will be re-
sumed at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
Union representatives described to-I
day's meeting as "peaceful, but no
closer to a decision."
Union Controls Plants
- The union, trying to enforce its
demand by sit-down strikes, was in
control of all of Chrysler'sautomobile'
production plants in the Detroit area,
including the Highland Park unit
where the conference was held. Ap-
proximately 55,000 Chrysler workers
were idle.
B. E. Hutchinson, chairman of the
Chrysler Finance Committee, said,
"The situation has not been changed
because the plants have been struck."
The corporation's refusal to grant
exclusive bargaining rights to the
union led to the strikes yesterday.
Richard T. Frankensteen, UAWA or-
ganizational director, telephoned
shop stewards the code phrase, "My
hand is up," and thousands sat down
at their jobs.
Police Maintain Patrols
Although a sufficient number to
control each unit remained in the
plants tonight, company police main-I
tained their regular patrols, frequent-
ly in company with union guards, and
maintenance men and janitors con-,
tinued their work.,
Outside, union picket groups di-
vided their time between the Chrysler
plants and those of the Hudson Mo-
tor Car Co., not far away on Detroit's
East Side. A "sit-down" throwing
10,000 Hudson workers out of em-
ployment preceded the Chrysler
strikes by a few hours. Conferences
with Hudson officials whom the union
accused of "stalling" in previous ne-
gotiations, will be resumed tomorrow.
No More Quakes
Here After 12:44
No more earth shocks were no-
ticed yesterday in Ann Arbor after
the quake at 12:44 a.m., Miss Mary
E. Lindsay, University seismologist,
reported last night.
The earthquake was described as of
"moderate intensity" by Miss Lind-
sey.
Severe shocks in California Mon-
day were declared by Professor-em-
eritus William H. Hobbs to be of an
entirely different nature from those
which have jarred the mid-West re-
cently.
The former are ascribed to moun-
tain-building disturbances, but the
Great Lakes upheavals are believed
to be caused by relief of the earth's
crust from the weight of glacial ice.
New Institute

And Hearing
New Organization To Aid
Human Adjustment; To
Be In Rackhami School
Ruthven Outlines
Organization Plans
A new organization to be known as
the Institute of Human Adjustment,
and which will deal principally with
cases of readjustment of children and
adults with defects in speech and
hearing to their social surroundings
will be established as a part of the
Horace H. Rackham School of Grad-
uate Studies, President Ruthven an-
nounced yesterday.
The institute, which will be in
operation by the beginning of the
Summer Session, will be housed in
the former Psi Omega house, 1017
Huron St., and will train a body of
specialists who will be equipped to
supervise and practice "human re-
adjustment" in Michigan and to'
establish similar centers throughout'
the United States.
Hope To Broaden Scope
Although the new organization will
deal principally with cases of de-
fects in speech and hearing at first,
the scope of the institute will be
broadened by developing research in
other fields of human adjustment
when conditions permit.
According to President Ruthven
the problems in adjustment to be
taken up at the present time are:
1. Those involving the various
handicaps of fractional speech, in-
cluding those known as aphemia, dis-
arthia, spasticity and those due to
cleft palates.
Problems Listed
2. Those connected with congen-
ital deafness.
3. Those resulting from deafnessi
ensuing after birth.
4. Those concerned with the pre-]
vention of fractional speech and as
the results of early deafness.

Law Professor
N14ew Judgeship
Governor Of Pennsylvania
Extends Dr. Goodrich
Common Pleas Job
Word was received here yesterday
that Dr. Herbert F. Goodrich, former-
ly of the University Law School, has
been offered the newly-created presi-
dent-judgeship of the Sixth Court of
Common Pleas of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Goodrich is at present dean of
the University of Pennsylvania law
school. He was offered his new po-
sition last week by Governor Earle,
reportedly as the result of his ex-
cellent work as chairman of the
Pennsylvania Committee on Public
Assistance. Friends have said he may
not accept the $14,000 a year job be-
cause of the importance of the posi-
tion he is holding at present.
He went to the University of Penn-
sylvania from Michigan in 1929. At
that time he was a member of the
faculty of the University Law School
and adviser on professional and pub-
lic relations of the American Law
Institute. His wife is the former Na-
talie Murphy, whom he married while
he was secretary to the late President
Burton.
In an editorial on Saturday, the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin stat-
ed, concerning the offer made to Dr.
Goodrich, ". . . Dean Goodrich's
knowledge of law, recognized by his
selection as dean of ;the Law School
of Pennsylvania and previously at
the University of Michigan, his tem-
perament, and mental qualities in
general, do constitute a commanding
warrant for his selection ...''

Bargain Plan-
S.W.F. Bulletin Points To
Employe 'Speed-Up'; Is
Denied By League
The Student Workers Federation,
charged a "speed-up" in the League
yesterday in a campaign for collec-
tive bargaining for students employed
in campus eating establishments.
"After receiving a nickle an hour'
raise, the employes of the League de-
cided their victory was complete, and
disorganized, only to find their work
was so increased that they really
worked much harder for their money'
than before," stated a mimeographed
bulletin prepared for distribution to-.
day, citing the League as one place
where "organized labor has won."
Students employed received wage'
increases from a standard 30 cents
an hour to 35, 40, and 45 cents an
hour after a united request on Jan.
20.
The management of the League
denied last night that there had been
any speed-up, even though no extra
employes have been taken on. Stu-
dents simply work fewer hours for
about the same amount of money as
before the wage increase, according
to Miss Phyllis Brand, supervisor of
the League dining rooms.
According to Robert Fox, 38E,
chairman of the employe organiza-
tion, the group has held no meeting
since the new rates have been in ef-
fect.
The second point in the S.W.F.
bulletin is that "student labor has
won at the Michig-Inn, where tlp
first contract of history was signe.
between employer and student la-
bor." The bulletin advocated patron-
izipg such union shops.
Consider Bill
To Solve Tax
Delinquencies
LANSING, March 9.-(P)-The
House prepared today to discuss for
the first time a major point in the
legislative program-a solution to
the delinquent tax problem.
The General Taxation Committee
reported to the floor a bill which
would provide installment payment
over a 10-year period of al ltaxes de-
linquent for the years 1933, 1934 and
1935. The payment plan is material-
ly alike that adopted by a previous
legislature for delinquent taxes of
1932 and prior years.
To participate in the plan, the tax-
payer must have paid his 1936 taxes
in full and either have paid his taxes
for 1932 and prior years or be in the
process of paying them under the in-
stallment plan.
The bill would cancel the 4 per cent
a month penalties due on the delin-
quent taxes and provide that taxna-

Prison terms
Given To Black
Legion Killers
DETROIT, March 9.-(P)-A for-
mer mayor of Highland Park and
eight other men without previous
criminal records were ordered to
prison today by a municipal judge
who convicted them of a Black Le-
gion murder plot.
Recorder's Judge John V. Brennan,
who heard the case without a jury,
sentenced the men to terms of one
to five years each. He found them
guilty a week ago of conspiring in
1933 to shoot Arthur L. Kingsley,
newspaper publisher of the suburb.
The sentences increased to more
than a score the list of men con-
victed of Black Legion terrorism since
the murder of Charles A. Poole, a
WPA worker, exposed the hooded
band last May.
New Black Legion convicts include
N. Ray Markland, the former mayor
and Arthur S. Lupp, Sr., a former De-
troit city milk inspector identified
by court witnesses as Michigan com-
mander of the hooded band.
The state's principal witness, Day-
ton Dean, confessed Black Legion
"executioner," testified the men
plotted to kill Kingsley because he
led political opposition to Markland,
who then was mayor.
