S ANTA MONICA, CALIF. —Up in Montreal a veter an showman says he talks with chimpanzees in their own language. I wish he'd ask one of his chimpanzee pals what he thinks about the present setup of civilization. Because I can't find any humans who agree as to where we all are going and what the chances are of get ting there. In fact, the only two who ap pear to be certain about it are young Mr. Corcoran and young Mr. Cohen, and they teem to hesitate at times— not much, but just a teeny-weeny b i t— which la disconcert ing to the lay mind. We are likely to lose confidence even In a comet, once it starts wobbling on us.

C Washington.—The Supreme court of the United States has a new mem- her, and to that Court Now extent. President Liberal Roosevelt has suc ceeded in reorgan izing the highest court in the land. With the nomination by the Presi dent of Sen. Hugo L. Black, Ala bama Democrat, and confirmation of that nomination by the senate, we find a Supreme court that stands for liberal Interpretations of the Constitution by a vote of six to three on most questions. While it Is important, of course, to know that Senator Black, the new justice, is nearly 100 per cent New Dealer, it is much more im portant to the country as a whole to think of Mr. Black hereafter as be ing fully aware of the reasons why he was selected to the lifetime job at $20,000 per year. It Is likewise important to remember the reasons why Mr. Black was selected when one examines the so-called balance of power in the Supreme court It seems to me that Mr. Black will enter upon his duties next Oc tober under one of the gravest handicaps that ever was set upon the shoulders of a Supreme court justice Because of this handicap, and bee suae of the reasons lying back of bis appointment I greatly fear that Senator Black can never be a great member of a grant his record In Bn hna a who stayed with the President through thick and thin. He never was an exceedingly popular man among his colleagues. Add to this the capacity of using harsh lan guage in the extreme and one finds that he was not the most popular choice among the senators for the job to which he has been elevated. From various quarters, therefore, I have heard observations to the ef fect that Mr. Roosevelt appointed Senator Black with full knowledge of the facts I have related. He could and did slap at some mem bers of his own party for failing to go along with him on the court packing plan and some other New Deal legislation like the wages and hours program. He showed certain groups and cliques in the senate and house that he is boss. Then, in selecting a man from the deep South undoubtedly the Presi dent figured it would be influential in pulling back to him some of the support which he certainly has lost among local politicians in the south ern states. Views of this test of po litical strategy differ greatly, but whether he gains or whether he loses on thst score, there certainly is ground for belief thst the reasons were as I have given them. There is also another reason for the appointment of Mr. Black. Of course, everyone realized that Mr. Rooaeveit would name e man of New Orel leaning.

The brash little girl that Mr. Riggs plays with such devastating humor promises to be as popular one of these days as is Charlie Mc Carthy, the famous ventriloquist’s dummy. Incidentally, the people whom Vallee started on the road to radio success ought to get to gether and put on a gala program as a tribute to him. It would in clude such headliners as Walter O’ Keefe.

As he staggered down the stair. And then the champion of all—tha Dutch lad who discovered a leak in the dyke so he stuck his wrist in the crevice and all night stayed there. In the morning, when an early riser came along and askad what was the general idea, the heroic urchin said—but let me quote the exact language of the book: “ 1 am hindering the sea from running in,’ was the simple reply of the child."

Casting aside many of the aa- aaults on Mr. Black's personal rec ord. and turning to the other phase of the situation that culminated in his selection for the court, it must be plain to anyone knowing aU the facts that President Roosevelt had a definite purpose in selecting the Alabaman. This phase also requires a bit of review. • • • When the President suddenly de manded that congress reorganize the Supreme court Court Split and make provi- Party * ion tor the ap pointment of six new justices of his own choosing, he created an enormous split in the Democratic party. He alienatwl many sections of the South and at the same time provided many old- line southern Democrats with am munition which they could use to justify their positions in oppos ing Mr. Roosevelt on many other phases of legislation.
