ROOSEVELT COURT PROPOSAL

ATTACKED AND DEFENDED IN TWO INDIANAPOLIS MEETINGS

Pittsburgh ~ Judge, Weak From Illness, Talks From Chair.

Judge W. A. Musmanno, Pittsburgh, was resting at a hotel here today after being forced to halt temporarily in

Court before the Labor Nonpartisan League of Indiana last night. |

Aims of President Are Selfish, Says Cuthbertson.

“The policies advocated by President Roosevelt have been indicated by our heritage as destructive to the vested rights of posterity,” according to Harry Cuthbertson, former Democratic State Senator.

Apparently | weak from a recent illness, Judge, Musmanno rested a | few minutes| and completed his speech seated |in a chair. | Af the hotel, it was reported he | was under the care of three doctors and a nurse. | He is expected to re- | main here several days while recoverning. from an attack of laryngitis | and grippe. | 2 Despite recent liberal decisions of the Supreme Court, the Presi- |

be sidetracked, Judge Musmanno said. Governor Townsend and Rep. Byron Scott (DI. Cal.) also spoke for the proposal at a mass meeting’ in Tomlinson Hall. Governor Townsend praised Senator Minton (D. Ind.) for “having the courage to lead the fight for the President's proposal.” ; “Hoosiers Want Action” “My personal message to Washington,” he said, “was that the people of Indiana want action. We are not asking that the Constitution be amended; only that the Supreme Court) and its deadly, slow processes be amended.

He made that charge last night in an address before the Irvington Republican Club,. attacking the

President's Supreme Court reform plan. He declared that the President should muster courage to overcome

| what he branded as “selfish ambi-

tions.” He added that Mr. Roosevelt should ‘reconcile himself to believe that he is not the man of destiny that he believes himself to be.”

Tradition Necessary

“If he would only realize,” Mr. Cuthbertson continued, “that tradition is a necessary part of the makeup of every successful man and search the past and solicit aid from lives of men who furnished our heritage, what a blessing it would be. It would guide his conduct to the lasting benefit of those in the future. “What is the purpose of the President's proposal relative to our Supreme Court? What is the motive behind this plan?

“My understanding last Novem- |: ber was that those problems had |:

“In 1936 the Republican and Dem- ; : ‘ocratic parties, in convention, adopt- |

ed platforms setting forth certain policies of the respective parties,

made to ‘soive the problems of government. : Binding Contract

“These platforms were offers to the people of America, inviting them to accept that offer and a promise in the part of the political party to perform in strict harmony with the offer made if accepted by the people. , . “When the successful political party took office, it took upon itself the management of [the affairs of our Government under a binding contract to perform |in conformity with the promises contained in that contract. The election in November, 1936, was a mandate from the people, a mandate for the Democratic party to go forward in conformity with the offer made to the people and contained in the Democratic platform; a mandate to keep a promise;

and it was not a mandate to estab-7

lish a government of master minds’ upon the ruins of Democracy.”
