CUMMINGS SAYS APPOINTMENT OF BLACK LASTING Attorney-General Issues Statement After Attack On Justice Washington, Sept. 13. —(U.R> —At-1 I torney General Homer S. Cum-, mings today declared in a written statement that the suitability of Hugo L. Black for the United States supreme court was "beyond ] question.” "His record of public service and selection on two occasions by flic state cf Alabama as United States 1 senator made his suitability beyond | question.” Cummings said. i The attorney general’s statement i was made after published charges that Black was enrolled in Alabama as a life member of the Ku Klux Klan. Cummings had been asked whether the usual department of justice investigation into records of nomi-, nees for judicial posts had been ] dispenced with because of the tradition that members of the senate when nominated for other posts are entitled to "senatorial courtesy.” The attorney general would not! elaborate on his statement to the extent of answering the investigation question directly. Previously an official in the justice department had explained that Black was now a justice of th sui preme court “for life" and there ] was nothing the senate could do to alter its action in confirming him. Attack By Copeland New York. Sept. 13. —<U.R) —Sen. Royal S. Copeland, D., N. Y., who opposed confirmation of Sen. Hugo L. Back, D., Ala., as associate jusj tice of the United States supreme I court, said today that “the supreme court and the senate should find | some way, despite the senatorial confirmation," to keep the Alabaman from becoming a member of the court. Copeland based his renewed op- . position to Black on the first of six I dispatches copyrighted by the : North American Newspaper Alli-; ■ ance. Inc., in which Ray Sprigle,' ! reporter for the Pittsburgh PostGazette. sai dhe had found that Black is a life-member of the Ku Klux Klan. The ’dispatch asserted that Black 1 joined the Robert E. Lee klan No.; 1 Sept. 11, 1923. resigned July 19. ' 1925, and was received back into the klan at Birmingham. Ala., Sept. | ! 2, 1926, after his nomination to the United States senate, and made a . I life member. Copeland said he felt that “in i view of these disclosures the su- ' preme court and the senate should find some way, despite the senatorial confirmation, to keep this man from wearing the black robe of justice by day and the shameful white robe of the klan in the dark of the night.” Copeland told the United Press , that although “these new revela-] , tions” were “shocking,” they were “no surprise to me,” adding: , "If the Black appointment had i not been railroaded through the ] I senate there might have been time , j (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) . ] o FOUR KILLED AS PLANES CRASH 'i — Pilot, Three Passengers Killed In Crash Os Two Planes II ~~~~ , South Bend.

COMPARES KLAN TO NAZI VIEWS Chicago Times Continues Series Ob Activities In U. S. Chicago, Sept. 13— (U.R) —Many ! of the objectives of the Ku Klux Klan and German-American soci- ! eties in the United States are similar, the Chicago Times said today in the fourth of a series of j copyrighted stories based on a six-, I months investigation. ‘ Both organizations are bitterly ' ; opposed to Jews, Communists, the 1 committee for industrial organization and negroes," the Times said. “The most recent revival of the klan during the past few months l has heartened Bund members, whether or not there is any defi- ; nite understanding between the I two organizations." The Times quoted Fritz Kuhn, New York, national leader of the Amerikadeutscher Volksbund. as saying he had "very important contacts in Georgia. Florida, Alabama. and North Carolina” in dis- [ cussing spread of anti-semitic feeling in the United States. "William Von Oesen, Manhattan Bund member, told John C. Met- | calfe, Times reporter who became I an American Nazi storm trooper, the history of the klan and hoped for its success.” the Times said. "Metcalfe asked whether the klan would be helpful to the Bund. I ‘And how,’ Von Oesen replied. ‘ln : many ways we have identical aims I and purposes. The Kian would be a Godsend to the Bund, particui larly in the south where we are jin need of support new. A power- , ful klan would be very helpful to ' us. There is every reason we ! should work together. We have the same enemies'." Addresses by Bund leaders were i cited by the Times to show prejui dice against negroes. The story quoted E. Schwenck in a New i York meeting: “ ‘National socialism in America, and this form of government only, will wipe out the black threat. I warn you as national socialists that this black race question, like the Jewish menace, is of paramount importance. “ ‘Today we have 12.000,000 negroes and 8,000,000 mulattos in this country.

Conference Leaders Seek To Rush Formal Signing Os Agreement To Fight “Pirate” Subs. ITALY TO DECLINE Geneva. Sept. 13 —(UP)—The league of nations struck a blow at fascist Italy’s ambition today by continuing to recognize the loyalist as the legal government of Spain and by refusing to bar Ethiopia from members,hip. The assembly, holding its scheduled meeting, also was confronted 'by a Spanish loyalist effort to force the Mediterranian piracy issue before It, and with an appeal by China under a league covenant against Japan’s invasion. Geneva, Sept. 13 —(U.R) —Spanish loyalist leaders moved today to force the Mediterranean “piracy” problem before the world forum of the league of nations. Angry because a new Mediterranean "piracy” agreement does not protect Spanish loyalist merchantmen against attacks by submarines alleged to be Italian, the loyalist delegation announced it would ask the league council to act. The loyalists already had sticI ceeded in forced the "piracy” I issue on to the councsil agenda, but leaders had hoped to let it ' die there. Because the Mediterranean agreement excluded loyalist ships, however. Premier Juan Megrin, leader of the strong loyalist delegation. visited French foreign minister Lvon Delbos and other big power leaders. "I shall demand tomorrow that the council itself take measures to prevent further attacks on our merchant shipping," he told them. | Negrin. it was learned, intends 1 to base his demand on the assertion that “pirates of non-Spanish nationality" are sinking loyalist ships in violation of treaties cited in the previous loyalist appeal. Backed by Russia, the loyalists assert that the Mediterranean agreement concluded at Nyon, near here, Saturday, gives “pirate” submarines — Italian, the loyalist assert — complete liberty to sink ships of loyalist registry with or without warning. Embarrassed by the SpanishRussian stand, leaders of the Mediterranean conference nevertheless determined to rush through to its final stage—the formal signing — the agreement they had concluded. They awaited only the replies of the Italian and Russian governments. Italy, not represented at the conference. was expected to decline the invitation to participate in the “anti-pirate" submarine patrol which the French and British navies are to conduct. Maxim Litvinov, Russian chief delegate, refused to accept the agreement Saturday because of its alleged inadequacy. He said he must submit it to his government. However, officially inspired comment at Moscow left almost no doubt that Russia would accept (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) o DEATH CLAIMS ROSETTA PYLE Geneva Woman Dies This Morning After Extended Illness Mrs. Rosetta Pyle, 73, Geneva, died at 1 o’clock this morning at her Lvme after being bedfast for three months, suffering complications.
