By Edward W. Pickard
Sen. Johnson
Supreme Court Packing
Controversy Increases
WITH only four votes in the
negative, the senate passed
the Sumners house bill for voluntary
retirement of Supreme court
justices at the age
of seventy on full
pay. The four who
opposed the meas-
ure to the last were
Bridges of New
Hampshire, Bulow
of South Dakota,
Johnson of Cal-
ifornia and Moore of
New Jersey. During
the debate Senator
Johnson declared
that "a Supreme
court justice who would retire at
this particular time, by virtue of
(he bait that was held out to him,
would not be the sort of individual
for whom I would have the greatest
respect."
The retirement bill was favored
by the President but, as Senator
Pat McCarren said, was not a part
of Mr. Roosevelt's bill for enlarge-
ment of the court. The controversy
over the latter measure grew more
bitter day by day and to the sur-
prise of the administration, it was
found that it was likely to be de-
feated in the house. Therefore the
majority leaders decided to let the
senate act first. In that body the
decision rested with some twenty-
five senators who had not yet an-
nounced their position.
Mr. Roosevelt stood firm in his
determination to force the bill
through congress, and announced
he would deliver a. radio speech in
its defense on March 9, the day
before the one set for the start
of senate judiciary committee hear-
ings on the bill. The President de-
nied a report that he would make
a tour of the country in behalf of
his plan.
Senator George of Georgia, Dem-
ocrat. stepped into the fight with
an o'JJ'.i'wuV; that the Supreme court
enlargement proposal is a repudia-
tion of the party's 1936 platform
pledge that it would seek a clarify-
ing constitutional amendment if it
could not attain its social-economic
welfare program by legislation.

The report concludes that a per-

prove useful as a central co-ordinat-

an occupational group composed of
small and loosely organized operat-

recommends the continuance of the
federal agency in order to assist
farmers in adjusting their industry
to changing technical and commer-
cial conditions and to cushion the

"Peace Before Colonies,"
Eden Tells Ribbentrop
TOACHIM VON RIBBENTROP,
J German ambassador to London,
had a heart-to-heart talk with For-
eign Secretary Anthony Eden about
Germany's desire to
get back some o f
her lost colonies, and
moon—where nobody will stare at
j them, or follow them, or yell at
\ them.
Why, just off-hand, I can think
of fully three spots where famous

Vidal Quits as Head of
Air Commerce Bureau
p"* UGENE VIDAL has resigned as
director of the federal air com-
merce bureau and says he will re-
enter private aviation. His conduct
of the bureau has been subjected
to much criticism at times and a
committee headed by Senator Cope-
land of New York has recom-
mended the reorganization of the
bureau. Recently the bureau and
representatives of the air transport
industry have differed sharply over
causes of the series of major air
crashes.
Vidal's successor is Prof. Fred D.
Fagg of Northwestern university law
school. He became associated with
aviation during the war when he
served as a second Meutenant with
the ninety-second aero squadron in
France. After the war he returned
to the United States and specialized
in air law. His assistant in the bu-
reau will be Maj. R. W. Schroeder,
also of Chicago.
Hughes and Jean Batten
Get Harmon Awards
"TP HE International League of Avl-
1 ators announced in Paris that
Howard Hughes, the wealthy Amer-
ican speed flier, and Miss Jean
Batten of New Zealand had been
awarded the Harmon trophies as
the outstanding man and woman
in aviation for 1936. Hughes' land-
plane records in flights across the
United States won the honor for
him, and Miss Batten was rewarded
for her spectacular solo flight
across the south Atlantic.
Ernst Lehmann, chief pilot of
Germany's ocean-flying Zeppelins,
was voted the world champion dir-
igible pilot, and Ernst Demuyter,
Belgian, world champion for spher-
ical aircraft.
Louise Thaden was voted the out-
standing woman flier in the Wnited
States, and it was announced that
President Roosevelt would present
trophies to her and Hughes.

For this year I decided to give up
Mr. Earl Browder. I don't quarrel
with his sincerity. He happens,
though, to be the outstanding expo-
nent in America of the communist
movement, which has done so much
for human happiness and human
German overseas possessions, the progress in the countries that tried

Eden said the question of raw
materials for Germany was one in
which all the great powers who
had control of principal raw ma-
terials were interested. In this con-
nection, he said that while the
league should settle the colonial
matter, he could envisage an al-
ternative method of approach
through diplomatic channels.
President Asks State
Soil Conservation Laws
T N IDENTICAL letters to the gov-
* ernors of the 48 states Presi-
dent Roosevelt called on the state
legislatures to enact soil conserva-
tion laws which would supplement
the federal measures designed to
lessen the ravages of floods and dust
storms.
Along with his letter the President
sent the governors a copy of a
model soil conservation bill pre-
pared by the Department of Agricul-
ture. This provides for the organiza-
tion of soil conservation districts to
carry on erosion control projects
with federal aid and regulations for
use of land.

Panama Canal Tolls Rate
Revision Is Proposed
ABOLITION of the dual system
of measurement of vessels pass-
ing through the Panama canal was
asked by the President in a special
message to congress, in accord with
a report of an advisory committee.
Nothing definite was said about rais-
ing the revenue of the canal.
The War department recently as-
sailed the present dual system of
collecting tolls as permitting in-
equalities, manipulations, and end-
less reductions in charges, resulting
in losses to the United States and
unfair advantages to shipping in-
terests. At present'the canal, a 546Vi
million dollar investment, is losing
almost a million dollars a year.
Ex-Navy Officer Sentenced

T OHN S. FARNSWORTH, former

ed guilty to charges of conspiring
to sell naval secrets to Japan, was
sentenced by Justice Proctor in the
District of Columbia court to serve
from four to twelve years in prison.

Victory Dinners,
WHO says New Dealers aren't
smart business men? That
$100 victory dinner means a clear
profit of $94,70, figuring the food at
$5 a head and the combined
speeches at 30 cents, which, even if
they average up to most after-din-
ner speeches, is indeed a high valu-
ation.
Back in Andy Jackson's day you
you could pay off a campaign deficit
with hoop poles and coon pelts. And
in Thomas Jefferson's time the
strongest pack mule in Virginia
couldn't tote $100 worth of vittles.
So, naturally Jeffersonian simplic-
ity and Jacksonian thrift will be
extolled.
Presumably the Republicans will
follow suit with a nonvictory din-
ner or donation shower for John
Hamilton's hope chest. Needy
guests will wear Liberty Leaguers'
old clothes, while the idea of hav-
ing Canada annex Maine and Ver«

Signs of Spring.
f \ UT here the first sign of spring
is not the birds coming back.
Mainly, our birds don't flit away.
They go mute awhile, being practi-
cally the only residents that even
temporarily refrain from bragging
about the climate, or, in case of a
cold snap, explaining that this is
very unusual.
With us the herald of spring is
the surf-bather—that hardy adven-
turer who plunges in and comes
forth as blue as an Easter egg and
as deflated-looking as a toy balloon
on the morning after circus day. Be-
cause the Pacific is never what
you'd call a real cozy ocean and
especially it isn't following a chill-
some winter.
We make fun of the bathing suits
our mothers wore. But middle-aged
persons of both sexes disporting on
the beach in the modern skimpics
present a morbid, not to say grue-
some, spectacle, except to students
of the adult human leg, including
the slabby-shanked, the full-calfed,
the bowed, the double-jointed, the
buckled, the knock-kneed, the spav-
ined, the ankle-sprung, the heavy-
hocked, the varicose-veined, the
fur-bearing, etc., etc.

ingly lovely, and always easy to

The assurance that someone is
praying for us is an anchor in a
time of storm. Many a man or
woman has been on the point of giv-
ing up in despair, of yielding to
temptation, and has been carried
through to victory by the interces-
sion of a godly mother or father.
Just to know that someone prays
for us is to find strength for the
knees that have weakened and for
the heart that has all but failed.
Infinitely more precious is the
truth of our lesson, that the Lord
Jesus himself prayed for each one
of his followers. John 17:20 makes
clear that while he prayed for those
who were with him at the time, he
also included in his petition all who
since that day have come to be-
lieve on him because of their testi-
mony.
Before entering upon his inex-
pressibly precious and beautiful
prayer, the Lord gave to his fol-
lowers a promise which was of vital
importance.
I. A Promise (16:5-7).
Persecution is coming, and Jesus
will not be with them to meet the
trying hour. He is about to enter
upon that final scene in his earthly
life, which will bring it to its end
in "a place called the place of a
skull."
How then can he say to them that
it is expedient for them that he gc
away? Because he will send the
Comforter, the Holy Spirit. Students
of the Scriptures recognize in the
Holy Trinity an inscrutable mys-
tery, but receive the teaching of the
Bible concerning the ministries oi
the three persons in the one God-
head with glad and thankful hearts.
It is a subject which cannot be en-
tered into here, but which richly
rewards careful study.. Suffice it
ttj say that while the Holy Spirit
has always been active in the earth,
he did enter upon a ministry of a
special nature when Jesus had gone
to be with the Father.
The essence of the work of the
Holy Spirit is to glorify Christ (16:
14), and in so doing he convicts the
unbeliever of sin and guides the
believer into all truth. The mark of
a Spirit-filled Christian is that he
permits the Spirit to glorify Christ
in him and in his service for God.
II. A Prayer (17: 14-26).
When one enters the sacred
precincts of John 17 he feels that
he has come into the holy of holies,
and that he would not only loose
the shoes from his feet, but also
stand silent in worship and in
praise. He prayed for me—for me!
Each student of this lesson will
wish to enter fully upon the mean-
ing of these words as he re-reads
them, in the illumination of the
Holy Spirit. May I suggest three
things which Jesus sought for His
children?
1. Consecration (vv. 14-16). No
one is Christ's child without regen-
eration, but, sad to say, there are
many children in his blessed house-
hold who are not obedient, not spir-
itually well and strong. They are in
the world, they must be here, but
alas too many of them want to
be as much like the world as pos-
sible. He prayed that we might be
kept from evil, separate from the
world, kept by God even in a world
that hates him and his truth.
2. Sanctification (vv. 17-21).' This
means to be set apart and cleansed
for God's service. How is it ac-
complished? Through the truth. His
Word is the instrument of sanctifi-
cation. Little wonder that there is
so little holiness of living when
the Word has so little opportunity
to touch and cleanse the life.
This separated life brings God's
people into that unity of love—all
in Christ, and he in the Father—all
bound up in that "one great bundle
of love.",
3. Glorification (vv. 22-26) When
Jesus came into the world in the
flesh he voluntarily laid aside the
glory which was his, and which still
is his, and which he prays that we
may behold. "But we all, with open
face beholding as in a glass the
glory of the Lord, are changed into
the same image" (II Cor. 3:18).
Thus in beholding his glory wa
also may enter into his likeness.
