Attorney General Charges
Revival of Tactics of -	•
Last Campaign Urganist...
Liberals Split on Program
Serious Objections Absent In Plan Criticism, Says Cabinet Member
WASHINGTON, Feb 14 —
(UP)—The technique of the j last political campaign has j been revived in an attempt to defeat President Roosevelt’s Judiciary reorganization program, Attorney General Homer S. Cummings charged tonight in a nationwide broadcast defending the chief executive’s proposals.
"The president," Cummings said,
"Is now the storm center of a virulent attack. We are solemnly assured that the courts are to be made mere appendages to the executive office, that the Judges to be j appointed cannot be trusted to support the constitution, and that the ! tragedies of despotism await only adoption of the president's recommendations.
No Special Exemption
"Yet no serious objection has ( been made to any one of the pur- I poses or to any part of thc plan I except its application to certain I members of the supreme court, why the supreme court should be granted a special exemption from I the plan, no one has been able to explain. If there were nine judges on that court of retirement age there would be no substantial ob- I jection from any responsible quarter. "What then," he asked, "is j the real objection? It is simply | this: Those who wish to preserve ' the status quo want to retain on the bench Judges who may be relied upon to veto progressive measures.''
On Eve of Session
The attorney general spoke on I the eve of what may be another j momentous session of the supreme ! court tomorrow and while the con- | gressional schism precipitated by the chief executive's proposals wl- ! dened hourly.
Liberal blocs as exemplified by |
Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D„ Mont., a staunch administration supporter, j and Sen. Robert M. La Follette, |
Wisconsin progressive, split on the president’s program. An hour Bfter Wheeler Issued a statement condemning it La Follette went on the air and pleaded for national support.
