NEW EXPEDITION
TO SEEK REDFERN
Explorer Predicts Fate of
Flyer to Be Known in
Four Months.
Bt ths Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 13 —A predic
tion that the secret of Paul Redfern’s
fate, locked within the ‘green hell”
heart of the Brazilian jungle for the
last 10 years, will be solved within the
next four months was voiced here to- j
day by Theodore J. Waldeck, the ex- |
plorer.
"On the strength of new private
Information, we are perfectly con
vinced we can locate Redfern—living j
r>r dead,” said Waldeck, the leader of
an expedition which, he said, will sail
from New York March 25 on the S. S. >
Nerissa in an attempt to find the long
lost aviator.
Mrs. Gertrude Redfern. wife of the
missing flyer, arrived here today from
her home in Cleveland, Ohio, to join
the expedition. In addition. Vaughan
"Buster” Jennings, 19. of Sumter, S.
C . Redfern's oldest nephew, will ac
company the party in the search
through the steaming interior of Brit- i
lsh Guiana, where eight previous ex
peditions have failed in their quest for
Redfern.
"All those other expeditions have
been far ofl the trail,” Waldeck said.
"They failed because they had no such
definite information as we have. We
know positively that there is a white
man there—where we are going. And
It could only be Redfern.”
Waldeck, while reluctant to discuss
the source of his "positive” informa
tion, said it came through “the jungle
grapevine” and from a fellow explorer
who has been hunting gold for the
last two years in the region where
Redfern presumably crashed on his
solo flight from Brunswick. Ga., to
Rio de Janiero. Brazil, in 1927.

Explorer and Bride Sail
___
Cyril van Baumann, explorer, who once said he never would
take a woman on an expedition, is shoivn as he sailed from New
York yesterday ivith his bride of three months for a six-month
exploration in Ecuador. He said he rcould aid in the search
for Paul Redfern, missing American flyer.

be accomplished through ”an insistent
demand backed by force.” This does
not sound like the man who has
spoken vehemently and authoritatively
as to what should be the attitude of
Seventh-day Adventist young men in
the time of war. He has taught, so
' I am told, that young men of the
church should not bear arms even in
struggles in which their country may
■ be involved, but in his political ferver
he now wants “force" used on the
Supreme Court if it doesn't walk in
the groove moulded by the present
lawmakers and Chief Executive. Oh,
consistency, thou art a jewel.
CHARLES F. MCALLISTER.
Sees Judicial Usurpation.
To the Editor of The Star:
One major point in the current
verbal upheaval is the charge of
executive usurpation. Pray let the
lambasting critics look into a few
questions and answers with regard to
the fundamentals of our democracy
to see if they cannot reconsider this
point.
What is the ultimate source of
authority in these United States? The
people. How is their authority man
ifested? Through the manifestation
of their will. And how is the latter
manifested? In the express and im
plied provisions of the Constitution and
through the acts of their chosen rep
resentatives. May the popular will
manifested in the one form contradict
the popular will manifested in the
other form? Most certainly.
For the sake of clarity may we
indulge in referring to the two types
of popular wills as the constitutional
will and the representative will, re
spectively? In case of the two wills
contradicting one another, which is
to prevail? So long as we prefer to
live in a constitutional polity the
constitutional will should prevail.
Who decides that a conflict between
the two exists? The Supreme Court.
Is the Supreme Court the proper
agency to make such important deci
sions? That can hardly be questioned.
Shall we say the court ought to
be fairly certain, certain, or very
certain of the correctness of its judg
ment when it decrees that a contra
diction between the constitutional and
representative wills exists? Very cer
tain, of course. Because a major
principle of construction of a statute,
which in reality is but another desig
nation for the representative will, is
that all doubts should be resolved in
favor of its constitutionality. Shall
we say this principle has and should
have application to doubts of any
nature? That is questionable. The
oeuse of justice will undoubtedly be
served more faithfully if its applica
tion be limited to reasonable doubts
only. Then how should the reason
ableness of a doubt be determined?
This is a most difficult problem, to
be sure.
How is this difficulty solved in crim
inal jurisprudence? Criminal cases
are usually submitted to a jury and
its verdict is final. But is it not true
that the law requires that a verdict
of conviction preclude a reasonable
doubt? Correct. And why does the
common law also require a unanimous
verdict to convict? Apparently be
cause it regards the lack of unanimity
as adequate proof of the existence of
a reasonable doubt.
And what is the caliber of the
average juror? Average caliber.
Now, what is the caliber of the
average justice of the Supreme Court?
The average caliber of that august
tribunal has always been the highest;
there is hardly any gainsaying this.
This being the case, would it not be
in accord with reason to give the
dissenting opinion of a Supreme Court
Justice the same weight in the deci
sion of a constitutional question as
for centuries past we have given the
dissent of a single solitary juror in a
criminal case? An affirmative answer
to this question is self-evident.
What, however, has been the
practice of the Supreme Court? In
declaring a statute, or the represent
ative will, unconstitutional it has
asserted the majority opinion in com
plete disregard of that of the minority.
And what is the proof of this? The
numerous split decisions cry out loud
against this sorrowful fact. This is
particularly true when and where the
dissenting opinion represents the view
of a substantial majority? Unques
tionably. So that it can hardly be
said that the court has rendered more
than lip service to its own principle
of resolving all doubts in favor of the
constitutionality of a statute, This is
too obvious to be challenged. In other
words, the Supreme Court has failed
to give the representative will the ben
efit of the reasonable doubt, to which
it seems to be legally entitled. Such
inference is inevitable. And whenever
this was the case, what in effect did
the court do? Plainly, it imposed its
will on the people's representatives, to
say the least. Now, what is such im
position equivalent to? Usurpation.
Then who may be said to be guilty
of usurpation? The judiciary, of
course. So why all that noise about
executive usurpation? . That, precisely,
is the real question. What in effect
does the President's message to Con
gress propose to do? Seemingly, to
put an end to judicial usurpation. And
is not this aim long overdue, just
and praiseworthy? No other appraisal
of it is possible, having in mind the
constitutional division of powers, !
Therefore, let us support rather than
criticize the President’s action
MORRIS I. FELDMAN.
Hint* Darkly of "Treason.”
To the Editor ot The Star:
Is not a mandate to change the
constitutional distribution of power
and to set up a personal govern
ment subversion of the Government?
If this is not treason, what is it?
JOHN WILLIAMS.
New York City.
Would This Plan Work?
To the Editor of The Star:
This letter is motivated by my keen
interest in the Supreme Court issue.
We have four factors involved in
this discussion of the President's pro
posal. They are: The people, the Su
preme Court, the Congress and the
President.
We are all aware that the American
people have an abiding abhorrence of
anything smacking of dictatorship. To
them the President’s proposal is In
dicative of a desire for greater power
and they are somewhat apprehensive.
They view only one side of the argu
ment in that respect, however. If you
were President and ninety-nine and
forty-four one-hundredths of the legis
lation framed by your administration
and designed to ameliorate conditions
and remove evils was returned by the
Supreme Court with the notation,
’ Sorry, pal, unconstitutional,” you
would probably think as does the Pres
ident. I do not think he is right,
however. I will offer my plan later.
The Supreme Court. The scales of
economic and social justice have been
diametrically opposed in this country
for a long time. The decisions rendered
by the court in the past and during
the present period of stress have done
very little to balance the scales. There
is a crying need and demand for a
change and Senator Johnson's state
ment that the President’s proposal in
substance is: “Shall the Supreme Court
be subservient to the President?” may
be changed to read: "Shall the will of
the people be subservient to that of
the Supreme Court?” I will not waste
your time and mine with a discussion
of the blatherings concerning tradi
tions and precedents.
The Congress. The bicameral sys
tem has fallen into disrepute here by i
reason of its dilatory tactics, its rub
ber-stamp character and acquiescent
subservience to the Executive. What
Congress thinks or does not think will
probably have very little bearing on
the matter. Not that there are not
many astute and far-sighted states
men in Congress, but “politics is ;
politics.”
The President. I hardly think that
Mr. Roosevelt cares to drape the
mantle of dictatorship over his shoul
ders. I believe that he is stlil anxious
to go forward and constant frustra
tion of his progressive legislation by
the court causes him to think that it
mast be changed. I agree with him,
but not in the manner of change.
My plan is as follows: Abolish the
Hoase of Representatives, but retain
the Senate and let the States have
equal representation in the legislative
branch: abolish the present Supreme
Court and in its stead establish a Su
preme Court composed of 48 pus
tices, one from each State. Retain
the executive branch as it is and we
shall have our checks and balances,
equal representation, legislative and
Judicial, and at the same time allay
the apprehension of those who seem to
think that we are gravitating toward
dictatorship.
Well, this heavy thinking has got
me down, so I guess I’ll sign off and
read the sports page for a little
diversion.
CHARLES J. SULLIVAN.
Asks If Religion Comes Next.
To the Editor of The Ster:
When the Bolshevists got control of
Russia ar.d. inaugurated their social
istic system, they outlawed religion.
These old Bolshevists knew their so
cialism and knew that socialism and
Christianity were lrreconciliable. They
knew that Christ had been too much
of an individualist for them to allow
Christianity to exist in a socialistic
land.
When Mussolini set up his social
istic state in Italy he came in con
flict with the Roman Catholic Church,
but in time he thought it good pol
itics to make peace by giving the
church the small territory of Vatican
City, while he retained control of the
rest of Italy.
When the National Socialists came
into power in Germany the inevitable
conflict between socialism and relig
ion presented itself again, and ever
since the Nazi government has been
trying with more or less success to
put religion under government con
trol.
Under the New Deal, now the new
order, the United States is moving
on to socialism with the accompany
ing conflict with religion. Of course
we have assurances that the Gov
ernment will not meddle in religion,
but we had assurances a few years
ago that certain laws were only tem
porary—for the emergency—and only
last year assurances during the cam
paign that the Supreme Court would
not be tampered with. When social
ism becomes well intrenched in the
United States, as seems likely it will,
we cannot expect the collectivists
of this country to tolerate the teach
ings of Christianity any more than
the collectivists of Europe tolerate
them. When we are absorbing ideas
from Europe just as rapidly as a large
mass of people can borrow ideas and
soak them up, we should know Just
what Is coming next.
Socialism and Christianity are in
consistent. A good many Socialists
admit that. According to collectivist
ethics Pilate did right in ordering the
execution of Christ, because Christ
had no organization behind him, and
therefore had no "rights ” There are
no individual rights in collectivism ex
cept for the leaders. Moreover, Pilate
had a mandate from the majority of
the people, who howled for the exe
cution of this individualist.
