HIGH COURT APPROVES
JUSTICE HUGO BLACK
. Washington, Oct.. ; 11. The
Supreme Court today allowed
no further questioning on legal
technicality, and therefore giv
ing Justice Hugo Black a clear
title to his seat on the bench.
. Albert Levitt, -former federal
judge in the Virgin Islands, has
expressed intentions of starting
other proceedings.
According to Levitt, Black is
constitutionally ineligible be
cause he was a member of the
:senate which voted to increase
the "emoluments' of justices by
permitting them to retire at full
pay after reaching 70 and serv
ing 10 years.
Levitt also denied that the re
tirement of Justice Van Devan
"ter left a place for a new judge.
He stated that Van Devanter is
still technically a member of the
liigh tribunal. !
Patrick Henry Kelly, Boston
.attorney opposed to Black, ar
gued that Justice Van Devanter
liad retired under an act which
was unconstitutional because
congress has no right to relieve
2. justice of his duties until he
retires.
These motions of Kelly and
Levitt were presented to the
court on ' Monday, only a few
minutes after Black had taken
his seat. .

SHIPMENTS TO SPAIN
London, Oct. 11. France in
timated today the possibility of
opening her border to allow vol
unteers and supplies to reach
the Valencia government, fry an
attempt to break the Anglo-
French-Italian deadlock. -.
This step was regarded as a
counter movement to the refusal
of Italy to join the Franco-Brit
ish discussion of withdrawal of
Italian volunteers from the
Spanish war.
Unless Britain approves, an,d
offers assurance of her backing
in any resulting events it is
generally thought that France
will not throw open her borders
Regardless of the small dif
ference between , Britain : ana
France, informed sources have
it that both believed in non-in
tervention to prevent the spread
of the war outside of Spain.
