SUPREME COURT
ISSUE FOREMOST
Congress Action Uncertain
Odds Seem to Favor
Administration
(Special to The Pre-Maoonian)
WASHINGTON,' Feb. 17. Presi
dent Roosevelt's unexpected mes
sage to Congress for legislation
authorizing him to add six justices
to the nine who now constitute the
Supreme Court is regarded here
as the most important and far
reaching proposal yet put forward
as a New Deal measure. Nothing
which- the President has said or
done has ever raised such con
troversy. While his message to Congress con
tained recommendations for many
needed reforms in the procedure of
the Federal Courts in general, these
are almost lost sight of in the dis
cussions of his major request and
upon which members of his own
party are still sharply divided.
In brief, the President's proposal
is that whenever any Federal judge,
having served ten. years, upon
reaching seventy, the age of per
missive retirement, fails to retire,
the President may appoint an ad
ditional judge to sit in that court,
and as many as six such additional
judges to the Supreme Court.
That this proposal has its basis
in the refusal of the Supreme Court
to uphold the constitutionality of
many New Deal statutes is gener-
ally accepted here. In his message
the President expressed the view
that the older judges are out of
step with the times. ,"New facts
become blurred through old glasses,
fitted, as it were, for the needs of
another generation," he said.
Court Retirement Age
Of course, if any Supreme Court
Justice now past seventy should re
tire now on full pay for life, the
President would need no further
authority than he already has to
appoint his successor.
Four consistent opponents of ad
ministration legislation are among
the six Supreme Court members
who could retire at full pay' now.
They are: Van Devanterr 77, Re
publican; McReynolds, 75, Demo
crat; Southerland, 74, Republican;
Butler, 70, Democrat. Justice Bran
deis, regarded as the jnost "liberal"
member of the Court, is also the
oldest, being 80. Chief Justice
Hughes is 74.
Eleven of the Roosevelt Admin
istration j statutes have been de
clared unconstitutional by the Su
preme Court. Five have 'been .sus
tained. The Court now has under
consideration another vital New
Deal law, the Wagner Labor Rela
tions Act.
' The Court was unanimous in in
validating NRA, and divided 6 to 3
6n AAA. The .Administration was
upheld 5 to 3 in the gold devalua
tion cases, and lost by the same
margin on the original Railway
Pension Act and the Municipal
Bankruptcy Act.
The Court was unanimous in up
holding the tax on silver profits
and the barring of prison-made
goods) from interstate shipments.
The Government's position in' the
TVA Act was upheld, 8 to 1 and
the Chaco Arms Embargo Act by
7 to 1. Justice Stone being absent.
By 6 to 3 the Court declared un
constitutional the Guffey Soft Coal
Act and the provision of the Se
curities Commission Act under
which that board claimed unlimited
.power of subpoena. Federal regula
tion of "hot oil" shipments was in-

Validated, 8 to 1, and the Court was
unanimous in holding that AAA
processing taxes impounded in
Federal, courts must be refunded.
The Court ruled that the President
did not have the authority to dis
miss a member of the Federal
Trade Commission; also, that build
ing and loan associations cannot lie
required to take out Federal char
ters when opposed by their state
authorities. :
Law on Appointments
While the chances of favorable
action by . Congress on the Presi
dent's court proposal are still un
certain, the odds seem to be in its
favor. Gossip is already picking
candidates for places on the Su
preme Court bench.
If none of the present justices
dies or retires, there will be no
place for any of the present Sen
ators . and Representatives known
to have judicial ambitions. Under
the Constitution no member of
either House can be appointed to
any office created during the term
for which he was elected.
The proposed additional Justices
would come under that heading, of
new offices, which would bar Sena
tors Robinson and Wagner and
Representative Sumners of Texas,
who have been regarded as likely
candidates in case of a vacancy.
AttorneyrGeneral Cumming s ,
Chairman Landis of the S.E.C.,
Professor Felix Frankfurter of
Harvard Law School, Donald R.
Ricbberg, former general counsel
of the NRA, and Stanley Reed,
Solicitor-General, are the names
most frequently mentioned.
Legislative Outlook
The Supreme Court issue has vir
tually overshadowed other matters
ponding in Congress. It is expected
that if the President's proposal is
approved and he is given authority
to name new Justices, new bills for
the revival of NRA and AAA will
be introduced.
There is a considerable grist of
farm legislation in prospect, regard
less of any AAA revival. Secretary
Wallace's "ever-normal granary"
plan, with its Concomitant of crop
control under the soil Conservation
Act,- requires further enabling legis
lation. New pressure blocs are organiz
ing lobbies to press for legislation
in behalf, of their respective inter
ests, and the old lobbies are more
active than ever.
A national association of tenants
is being formed, calculated to make
demands for special laws to keep
rents down. The WPA workers
union is said to be planning a new
march on Washington.
An enlargad lobby in the interests
of independent merchants is pre
paring to put on pressure for anti
chains.tore legislation. The cement
industry is, organizing to get behind
the public works program, which
will use a lot of cement if Presi
dent Roosevelt's five-billion-dollar
six-year flood-control and conserva
tion program is carried out.
OHIO (PA) Ohio ranks as
third state in number of workmen
employed in industry.

CCC Enrollees Doing Fine
Work in National Forests
More Recreation Facilities
Being Developed in
This Section
Of the many activities carried on
by Civilian Conservation Corps en
rollees, none is of more interest
and benefit to the general public
than the development of forest rec
reation facilities. More and more
the public-is becoming forest mind
cd, and increasingly large is the
number of people seeking healthy
outdoor recreation.. i
In North Carolina, Joseph C
Kircher, southern , regional forester
for the U. S. forest service, with
headquarters in Atlanta, Ga., re
ports that his organization admin
ister the work of 19 CCC camps
on the Pisgah, Nantahala and
Croatan national forests and also
seven state and private camps
which are under the immediate sup
ervision oi state forester, J. S.
Holmes. The 10 camps on the Pis
gah national forest are .under the
direction - of Supervisor H. E.
Ochsner, whose . headquarters are
at Asheville; the seven camps on
the Nantahala are administered
through the office of Supervisor
W. R. Paddock at Franklin; and
the two camps located on the Cro
atan come under the direction of
Supervisor H. M. Sears, whose
headquarters are at Columbia, S. C.
The' Pisgah, Nantahala, and Cro
atan national forests were created
and have been developed with a
number of purposes in view, all
coordinated with the forest service
policy of "the greatest good for the
greatest number of people in the
long run." In other words, multiple
use planning. While the primary
objectives of national forests are
timber production and the protec
tion of stream flow, the . public
may picnic, camp, hunt, fish, and
otherwise take full advantage of the
recreational and scenic 1 attractions
of the forests without interfering
with their more utilitarian funo
tions. '. . ' .
CCC Work Outstanding
Of particular .interest: to the
people of North Carolina is the
work done by the Civilian Conser
vation corps in developing the out
standing recreational advantages of
the Pisgah and Nantahala national
forests. On the Pisgah national for
est, located in Transylvania, Hend-.
erson, Haywood, Buncombe, Madi
son, McDowell, Yancey, Mitchell,
Burke, Avery, and Caldwell coun
ties, with headquarters at Asheville,
the CCC is developing 11 com
pletely equipped recreational areas.
Those that were ready for use last
summer, although in- some cases
not completed, were very popular.
Bent Creek campground, for ex
ample, had 22,000 visitors during
the sumnier season, Carolina Hem
lock campground had 16,000, and
Craggy Gardens had 14,000. All' of
the camp and picnic grounds are
equipped with picnic shelters, pic
nic tables and benches, drinking
water, fireplaces, and comfort sta
tions. Several areas, where bathing
is available, have bath houses.
Nearly all have facilities for camp
ing, while several can accommodate
house trailers.
Trout fishing, already excellent
on the Pisgah, has been improved
through the work of the Civilian
Conservation corps in constructing
rearing pools and improving and
restocking the streams. Hunting,
both for deer and for small game,
is art added. attraction. The portion
of the forest lying in the Pisgah
mountains southwest of Asheville
is a game preserve where deer
may frequently be seen. Scenic
roads constructed through this pre
serve by the CCC have opened up
several magnificent routes for mo
torists. . '
Recreation Spots in Nantahala
In the Nantahala national forest,
located in Cherokee,- Clay, Graham,
Macon, Swain, and Jackson coun
ties, with, headquarters at Franklm,
six recreational areaY'Vbave been
made available to the oublic
llll UUll VY W 1 XV Jl . tilt, V.
Amnions ; campground, 10 miles
south of Highlands, has facilities
for picnicking and camping. Van
Hook Glade, on U. S. Route 64 (be
tween Highlands and Franklin, tan
accomodate picknickers and both
tent and trailer camners. while on
nearby' Skittles Creek a lake . is
being impounded which will afford
bathing, boating, and fishing. On
the same highway, ' at Dry Falls
of the Cullasaja rivert a parking
area and trail under the falls have
been used by thousands of visitors.
West of Franklin, on the scenic
road across the Nantahala moun
tains, Mr. Kircher states the CCC
has developed a picnic spot at
Arrowood Glade, to whose other
attractions have been added 9
trout rearing pools, while a swim
ming pool and an ' arboretum of
native trees and shrubs are under
construction. At Wayah Crest, on
top of the Nantahala mountains on
the route of the Appalachian Trail,
there are provisions for picnicking
and overnight camping. On nearby
Wayah Bald a stone observation
tower, nearing completion, affords
some of the finest v.iews to "be
found in the Southern Appalach
ians. Roads to many other points
of interest in the Nantahala na
tional forest, including the Joyce
Kilmer Memorial forest in Graham
county, have been developed by
the CCC, which has also improved
and restocked .nearly 50 miles of
trout streams. Recreational use of
the Nantahala national forest in
1936 was more than double that
in' 1935, and included visitors from
46 states and 13 foreign countries.
Most of the work of the CCC
camps supervised by the State
Forester of ' North Carolina has
been in connection with protection
against forest fires. At a number
of fire towers, picnic tables and
other facilities have been provided
for tlie public. At Rendezvous
mountain in Wilkes county, famous
as the gathering place of the pa
triots who took part' in the Revolu
tionary battle of King's Mountain,
roads, trails, and other conven
iences for visitors have been con
structed. North Carolina, replete with scen
ic climatic advantages, is a mecca
for summer visitors. The work
done by the Civilian Conservation
corps is a long step forward to
ward the full utilization of the
Old North State's recreational attractions.
