Democracy is always in dan- and the Circuit Court of Appeals, the ger when resort to subterfuge is pre-. President has in many instances ferred to an open projection of a made appointments that are plainly fundamental question before the political and which members of bar electorate. i associations have recognized as such. If Mr. Roosevelt intends to appoint to the coming vacancies on the Su-1 preme Court of the United States men of the same calibre he has been appointing to the lower courts, then indeed we are justified in assuming that his real purpose is to acquire political control of the judicial branch: of the government just as he has' come to dominate the other two. SO much of a "rubber stamp" affair has our legislative body becomei that the President this time has sent along with his message an exact draft of a bill. It had been supposed that legislative power was vested in Con- gress. But since the last election it may be inferred that Mr. Roosevelt feels he has a mandate to write legis- lation and send it to Congress with a demand for its prompt approval. There can only be tragedy ahead for the American Republic if it accepts such usurpation without protest. Mr. Roosevelt's attitude can only mean a consolidation of all three branches of our government under one head. Wrote Thomas Jefferson: "A single consolidated govern- ment would become the most cor- rupt government on earth . . . What has destroyed the liberty and the rights of man in every government which has existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating all cares into one body .. "Itis not by the consolidation or concentration of powers, but by their distribution that good government is effected. It may be that a highly centralized government is what the American people want at the moment. It may be that they prefer the will of one man to the judgments of nine or 15 justices or even 531 members of Con- gress. But if consolidation of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the government does come, it will not remain for long. The people will insisu on making such a government more directly re- sponsive to popular will. They will not permit a fixed tenure for presi- dents of four or even six years nor will they wish a fixed tenure for members of the House and Senate. They will seek to protect themselves in the only way that true democra- cies have been able to assure them- selves against tyranny-they will want a system of recall written into the Constitution so that on specific issues such as the present proposed change in the number of the Supreme Court justices there could be a ref- erendum of the people. DEMOCRACY is never in danger when additional methods of let- ting the people decide issues are pro- Weller Claims Doctors Help Cancer Spread The fault of the spread of cancer may be laid to the doctors in the modern medical profession, Dr. Carl V. Weller, chairman of the Pathology Department, stressed last night when he spoke before the members of Phi Sigma, honorary scientific research society in Natural Science Building. The majority of doctors today, he added, refuse to take the trouble for a complete physical examination, the vital step in arresting the ravages of the dreaded disease. The fact that cancer is curable if intercepted in the incipient stages was emphasized. Dr. Wells advocated periodic, thorough medical examinations as an impor- tant element in the stamping out of cancer. Following his lecture the society members were served refreshments and conducted its annual election of officers. The results of the ballot- ing found Joseph Harris, president; Hugh Clark, vice-president; Robert Lindberg, treasurer; and Kathleen Hussey, recording secretary, all grad- uate students. Christian Association and chairman of the Men's Council Labor Commit- tee. Cassell, according to the Fed- eration, refused to arbitrate with the committee. The sit-down strike which was to have been called last night was pre- vented because pin-boys who had agreed to sit down since had been discharged. The President's proposal should be thoroughly debated not only by mem- bers of the bar but by the people generally in every state of the Union. If the age of 70 is to be the limit of federal judges, a constitutional amendment requiring a compulsory retirement will, if adopted, attain all proper objectives of real judicial reform. The statute which the President has proposed is unconstitutional on its face. It is not a bill to fix the size of the Supreme Court of the United States-as was done 'in pre- vious instances-but a bill dealing almost entirely with the retirement issue over which Congress has no power at all. The Constitution pro-' vides life tenure for all federal judges without interference or coercion by the legislative body. The people alone can change the Constitution through a referendum called for that particular purpose and for no other. Prof. Haber To Address Social Security Meeting Prof. William Haber of the eco- nomics department will participate in the 10th annual meeting of the AmericandAssociation for Social Se- curity today and tomorrow in Ne York City. The meeting will bring together students and administrators of social security from all sections of the coun- try. Professor Haber will read a paper on "The Needed Link Between Unemployment Insurance and Re- lief." Loyalists Gain Strategic Sites Around Madrid1 Hardest Fighting In Recent Months Brings Heavy Losses To Insurgents MADRID, April 8.-(A')-The heav- iest fighting in months broke out on the outskirts of Madrid tonight. Madrilenos, hardened as they are by the long siege, nevertheless for- sook their late dinners and huddled in darkened doorways as they listened fearfully to the roar of artillery and the rattle of machine guns for an hour and a half. Government military headquar- ters declared the insurgents were beaten back with heavy losses as they attacked along the whole front from the Carabanchel region, just south of Madrid, to University City, the war-scarred district of northwestern Madrid. The fighting, which began at 8:301 p.m. and had started to die down at 10 p.m., came just 'after the govern- i ment achieved a success in southern Spain with the union of two main coltimns some 70 miles north of the highly important insurgent-held city of Seville. Government reports also told of heavy air bombings of insurgent po- sitions at Valladolid, far northwest of Madrid; at Toledo, south of Ma- drid, and at Malaga, southern sea- port. The sanctuary of the virgin De La Cabeza, atop a mountain in southern Jaen province, was subjected to an aerial attack in which four 500- pound bombs were dropped, the gov- ernment said. (Refugees from that peak reported Tuesday that 1,500 slowly-starving persons were being kept in hand by insurgent officers there only through a reign of terror). New Campaign Chairman .To Be Announced And Report To Be Given The annual meeting of the Com- munity Fund Board of Directors will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 27, in the Y.M.C.A., it was an- nounced yesterday by Everett R. Hames, director. This meeting will be a departure from the regular form of meeting in that 195board members of the Fund's 11 agencies will meet with the Board of Directors.I Mrs. C. F. Ramer and Mrs. Charles Fisher will report on nominations for various committees Mr. Hames will deliver the annual report, which is dedicated to Henry W. Douglas, president of the Fund from 1921 to 1924, and will give a summary of the 15 years of the Ann Arbor Community Fund from 1921 to 1936. He will also propose a new slogan and a new insignia for the Fund. ,300 Quit GM Canadian Plant On UAWA Call (Continued from Page i) the Oshawa strikers had followed the CIO "paid propagandists" at a time when both "employes and the indus- try itself were in a position to en- joy a prosperity not known since 1929." The strike walkout at Oshawa was peaceful. Auto workers entered the plants at seven a.m., punched time clocks and marched out again to form picket lines. Only the admin- istrative office building was left open to executives and office employes. A scheduled conference for nego- tiation fell through with the com- pany's reiteration of its refusal to recognize the UAWA. Reports that a strong police force was concentrating here, 35 miles from Oshawa, roused this comment from C. H. Millar, an employe: "There is no excuse for the govern- ment taking precautions to have so many police on hand for the strike here. We proved, when we kept the men in check during the crisis of the past week, that we had full control over them. "We even went to the extent of having the government close all bev- erage rooms and liquor stores so that no trouble would arise from any men dtinking." GIVEN AWARD PRINCETON, N.
