Stripped to the bone, President
Roosevelt's 'proposal f o reorganisa
tion of the Judiciary, Including an in-
crease from nine to fifteen in the
membership of the Supreme Court,
unless Justices seventy years or over
rears, is just another major aUrmish
in the are-old 'battle over human
rights and property , rights, The bat
tle has been waged, and waged strong
sines our founding fathers began
their labors at the Constitutional
Convention in Philadelphia, just 150
years ago.
It seems evident that the consti
tution as finally drafted was design
ed to place major emphasis on human
tights the rights of man. No bet
ter evidence can be found than that
-the Congress' was created, despite
all compromise, to represent the
legislative will of the people. Pro
vision was made for the President
to exercise a veto over the acts of
Congress s veto that can be over
ridden by great majorities. And
courts were created to see that no
rights guaranteed under the Consti
tution were infringed upon. It is
doubtful whether it was intended for
the courts to nullify legislaitve acts
of Congress the legislative will of
the people.
Nevertheless, the great Chief Jus
tice Marshall quietly laid down such
a principle in the famous case of
Marbury V. Madison. In delivering
that historic opinion, the Chief Jus
tice held in effect that a law repu-
gant to the Constitution Congress can
carry out the legislative will of citi
zens. The power of Congress to
override a Presidential veto is defi
nite, but the judicial veto of a maj
ority of nine judges appointed for
life seemingly ends the power of
Congress to solve national ills, eco
nomic or social.
The Supreme Court's verdict of
"unconstitutional," under that theory,
is truly supreme, whether such au
thority over the destinies of 130,000,
000 people was intended or not In
any event, since Chief Justice Mar
shall's' day, the Supreme Court has
steadily taken unto itself broader
powers of legislative review. There
is ample reason for the statement
that in case after case the courts
have been building a mass of decis
ions based on the strictest construc
tion of the rights of property.
As .aresuH, important questions
are raised. Does Congress represent
the will of the people? If so, shall
the Supreme Court nullify that will
through legislative review? Is it the
national desire that a President be
voted out of office because he was
not in tune with the times as - was
the case with Hoover and his suc
cessor, twice elected by unprecedent
ed majorities as was the case with
Roosevelt be powerless to correct
the conditions our citizens condemn
ed? Let me hasten to say that these
questions do not involve personali-
ties. They involve issues. The most:
ardent supporters of -the President's
proposal nor its critics, question the
personal integrity or character of
any distinguished member of the
Supreme Court It is the viewpoints
of some members that is questioned
whether they regard the Constitution
elastic enough to meet the legisla
tive will based on human rights. Pro
ponents of the President's proposal
for judiciary reorganization say they
cannot. Critics of the proposal say
they can and do interpret the Con
stitution. And the battle over human
rights and property rights continues-
Unfortunately, the issues are not
being decided by individuals. Too
much propaganda and hysteria is
evident. To accuse the President of
trying to "pack the Supreme Court"
is to question his sincerity in carry
ing forward a program that some 27,
000,000 of our citizens approved last
November. And whatever else may
be said of the President's program,
few can question his honest desire to
make our nation sounder and more
wholesome than he found it when he
took over the reigns of government.
Ship Pollen 600 Miles
To Get Cotton Crosses
-i- ....
More than 9,200 crosses were made
at the cotton breeding experiment
station at Florence, S. C, during the
past year by cotton specialists of the
Bureau of Plant Industry. A large
part of the crosses represent hybrids
between the long-staple, slow-maturing
but shorter staple upland varie
ties.' ' . Nearly 2,000 crosses were made
between a new strain of extra long
staple Sea Island cotton introduced
from ' Puerto Rico and planted at
Brooksville, Fla and several varie
ties of upland cotton.
, On the day before the flower buds
of the Sea Island cotton were to
open they were cut and sent by ex-
press to' Florence, distance of
about 600 miles, where the pollen
was used i ncrossing. A nigh per
centage of sets was obtained to these
crosses by W, H. Jenkins and E. E.
Hall, United States Department of
Agriculture and South Carolina ex
periment station scientists in charge
of the work.
The cross-breeding will be con
tinued in 198T in back crossing' and
out crossing several of the promis
ing hybrids. The object of the
breeding work is to establish pure
lines of the thickly branched ufrland
cotton combined with the Sea Island
seed and lint characters, and with
higher productiveness.
Sweet Potatoes Now
Claiming Good Prices
North Carolina growers are now in
an especially' good position to pell
the surplus of their .crop of sweetf. NOrnCE pP ADMINISTRATION
potatoes due to the present good
market prices and also as a reflection
of the shortage and high price of
Irish potatoes.
The 1985 crop of sweet potatoes
in the United States was almost 20
per cent more than last year's pro
duction which was equal to about
an averoge crop. North Carolina's
1986 crop of 7,660,000 bushels was
above the usual. General winter
market prices of Irish potatoes, at
$1.22 per bushel, have been from 50
to 100 per cent better than the pre
vious winter and sweet potatoes are
about one-third higher than a year
ago.
With a small national fall crop of
Irish potatoes, the sweet potato
growers hold a double advantage.
North Carolina farmers made goo&f
yields of good qualify sweet pota
toes in 1936. Modern curing prac
tices permitted them to hold the crop
during the winter.
