CONSTITUTION HIT

Nebraskan Warns It Be
comes “Scrap of Paper”
if Measure Passes.
BACKGROUND—
Prompted by what he considered
the need for a revised judicial out
look on Supreme Court, the Presi
dent asked Congress February 5 for
power to name six neiv justices un
less incumbents over 70 retired. A
potent source of controversy on
Capitol Hill, where party lines have
been badly split, the bill embracing
the plan has been in hearing nearly
seven weeks, but is expected to
reach Senate floor some time next
month.
BY JOHN H. CLINE.
The Constitution will become a
‘‘mere scrap of paper" if the Presi
dent’s Supreme Court bill is en
acted, Dean L. J. Tepoel of the
Creighton University Law School told
the Senate Judiciary Committee today.
Opponents of the bill are expected
to close their case befoie the com
mittee tomorrow.
Senator Johnson, Republican, of
California presented in the Senate to
day petitions against the President’s
court plan which he said were signed
by 10,000 persons. He told the Senate
the additional names brought to more
than 75,000 the number of protests he
has filed for reference to the Judiciary
Committee.

the Government vu determined nec
essary to safeguard and protect the
liberties of the citizens guaranteed
by the Constitution,” Dean Tepoel
asserted.
“Destroy the independence of the
judiciary and you have destroyed the
dual form of government and you
have taken from the Individual citizen
his constitutional guarantees of lib
erty and have made them merely
matters of grace. Without an inde
pendent judiciary, a Bill of Rights'
guarantees cease to be matters of
legal rights and those provisions in
the Constitution become merely a
moral influence on the two political
branches of Government.”
A Scrap of Paper.
Asserting a reorganization of the
court under this bill would result in
a judiciary subservient to the will of
the President, Dean Tepoel declared:
“If the time ever arrives when the
letermlnation of judicial controversies
can be dictated by either or both of
the political branches of the Govern
ment, then the guarantees of liberty
found In the Constitution will be gone
and the Constitution will be a mere
scrap of paper.”
Edward T. Lee, dean of the John
Marshall Law School, Chicago, tes
tified yesterday afternoon that the
bill endangered “all provisions for
securing the rights of the people under
the Constitution.”
The court's decisions will be gov
erned by the assumed Interest and
personal plans of the administration
rather than by the laws of the land
if the bill is passed, he declared.

Workers’ Alliance Demonstra

A series of mass demonstrations
will be held throughout the coun
try May 22 in protest against Presi
dent Roosevelt's proposal to cut re
lief appropriations, according to David
Laeser, president of the Workers’ Al
liance of America.
In an open letter to members of
Congress the alliance declared, "The
millions of Americans who are af
fected by unemployment cannot be
expected to submit patiently to ad In
creasingly Intolerable situation.”
Lasser urged Congress members to
support a relief bill providing $3,000,
000,000, Instead of the $1,500,000,000
recommended by President Roosevelt.
‘'On reading the President’s mes
sage, if I had not known who had
written it,” Lasser said, I certainly
would have felt that it was a state
ment of the United States Chamber
of Commerce or perhaps of Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan.”
