By C. L. SULZBERGER (Copyright, 1937. by United Press) ELLICOTT CITY, Md. Aug. 17.—Willis Van Devanter of Indiana, retired Supreme Court Associate Justice, predicted tcday that no more efforts would be made to change the present size of the high tribunal. He said that he believed a nine-justice court should continue, as it insured “stability.” ren Justice Van Devanter received this correspondent on the porch of his modest white frame home on his 80-acre livestock farm near this city which is 40 miles from Washington.

Mr. Van Devanter said that he believed the Court must be guaranteed full ‘“‘stability” in order to avoid being transformed into the “ipse dixit of Congress.” (Ipse dixit is a Latin phrase meaning literally, “He himself has said.” In English used tc describe a dogmatic assertion, a dictum.—Ed). He declared that the American Government was built upon the three authorities — Executive, Legislative, Judicial—and likened them to the supports of an architectural structure, each one essential for balance.

The national president gave his opinion of “what is a Young Demo- | crat,” since 10,000 of them are due here. “A Young Democrat,” he said, “is a person under 40 who fully ascribes to the party's principles.
