Natidnal Topic* Interpreted
by William Bruckart
NallsjsaJ Prase Bulldlns Wssblnstoa. D. 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. Morvoewr. ev

O NCE more Rudy Vallee
has shown that he is the
greatest talent scout in the
radio business. Tompiy
Riggs, the two-voiced person
ality who has been appearing
ori his program the last few
weeksfhas made an outstand
ing success and will soon
have a program of his own.
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. Bob Burns. Edgar Bergen
and Charlie McCarthy, and Tom
my Riggs. And what a program
that would be!

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.
