* be chosen in the election.
+ Served Seven Years During his seven years on the high court bench, Judge Treanor wrote opinions which attracted wide attention. In 1935 he was author of a majority opinion which reversed an old decision holding that no amendment to the State Constitution could be made unless approved by
, & majority of the voters participat-
ing in the election. Holding the old decision in error, Judge Treanor’s opinion ruled that any amendment is approved which receives a majority vote, regardless of the number of persons voting. The result. was to revive several constitutional amendments which had been considered ‘lost in elections during a period of more than 30 vears. Among them were amendments authorizing an income tax, another granting power to regulate bar admissign; providing increase in Supremeé Court membership from five to 11 judges and prohibiting increases in salaries or tenure of public officials during their terms in office.

ISLOAN DONATES
10 MILLION TO WELFARE FUND
Suggests Foundation Keep General Motors Stock In Portfolio.
{ NEW YORK; Dec. 13 (U. P)~ Alfred P. Sloan, chairman of the board of General Motors Corp., announced today he was donating $10,000,000 worth of securities to a foundation designed to promote “a wider k knowledge of basic economic
“I particularly w. to emphasize the fact, even if it\appears self evident,” he said, “that this transace tion has nothing whatsoever to do with General. Motors Corp. or my official relationship with same. , , However, among the securities involved are over 100,000 shares of the common stock of Creneral Motors. . . . I shall recommend to the trustees of the foundation that they continue to hold these securities as part of its portfolio.” Explaining that he had been developing the foundation “for some years past,” Mr, Sloan added that it would concentrate for the most part “on. a single objective”: “The promotion of a wider knowledge of basic economic truths generally accepted as such by authorities of recognized standing and as demonstrated by experience, as well as a better understanding of economic problems in which we are today so grealty involved and as to which we are so importantly cone cerned, All will agree as to the importance such matters are now assuming in public ' consciousness. Many will recognize the vital necessity of their intelligent interpretation in the form of national poli

Problem Recently Recognized “While down through the years many successful men and women have contributed. in the ‘aggregate large sums for the benefit of those less fortunate, very little has been specifically directed foward the cause of economic education—undoubtedly due to the fact that the importance of that problem has only recently become recognized as
vidually concerned. “While the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation may undertake or promote activities on its own behalf, it will give preference to .encouraging, through financial grants and otherwise, such useful agencies as already exist, thus stimulating a broader approach to the common objective, although, it might be added, its activities will necessarily be limited to the areas of education and research, “Having been connected with industry -during my entire , life #t seems eminently proper that I should turn back, in part, the proceeds of that activity with the hope of promoting a broader as well as a better understanding of the economic -principles and national policies which have characterized American -enterprise down through the years, and as a result of which {its truly marvelous development has made possible.” “Mr. Sloan’s announcement did not
