T0 BE FOR'S FOR I NEXT 13 YEARS

Murphy Appointment Gives New Deal Absolute Majority.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 (U.P.) — President Roosevelt's. New Deal philosophy formally has taken over the United States Supreme Court, probably to maintain its ascendancy there until 1953 or later. Given health and a desire to remain on the job, the youngest of Mr. Roosevelt's highest judicial nomineers will still be construing the law in 1969 and the oldest would not retire until 13 years from "now. : | Frank Murphy of Michigan is the newest New Deal “Mr. Justice” He took the oath of office at 9:30 a. m. (Indianapolis Time), today in the Oval Room at the White House. He was promoted from the Attorney Generalship to which he was boosted” in 1938 after losing a campaign for re-election as Goevrnor of Michigan. His latest promotion was well received. Mr. Murphy is Mr. Roosevelt's fifth nominee—five in a row in fewer than three years. And the conservative phalanx that smashed Administration statutes in 1934-35-36 is gone.

Then Robinson Died The Court’s devastating disposal of New Deal measures really ended -in June, 1936, six months before the election in which Mr. Roosevelt was maintained in office by popular and electoral vote margins that temporarily paralyzed his opposition. Some observers were inclined to believe then that the Court would make good for Mr. Dooley and “folley the illection returns.” But on Feb. 5, 1937, the President dispatched to Congress a - surprise proposal that the tribunal be given an infusion of younger blood. That suggestion divided the New Deal-Democratic Party and the nation and brought the Court, itself, into - a mighty political contest which ended in rejection of the President’s program. But it scarcely delayed realization of his real objective which was to rejuvenate the Supreme Court and make it more responsive to liberal thought, and his conception of a flexible Constitution: : Then Senate Majority Leader Joseph ‘T. Robinson died and the Reorganization Bill crashed. Now Absolute Majority One of the minor annoyances Mr. Roosevelt has had to suffer since then is the recurring statement that he “lost. the Court fight.” An accurate statement of the facts as . they developed here is that Roosevelt lost the fight for the Court Reorganization Bill but won the war for the control of the court. The Court probably was in a mood to go along with Mr. Roosevelt quite a way after the extraordinary election returns of 1936. Anyway, the smashing New Deal defeats ceased to explode so loudly then. Now, with five of his own men on the bench, Mr. Roosevelt's appointees constitute . an absolute, mathematical ‘majority of one— which is sufficient. Mr. Murphy, confirmed Monday by the Senate, is 46 years old. The + ages of the others are: Associate - Justice Felix Frankfurter, 57; Black, 53; Stanley F. Reed, 55, and William O. Douglas, 41.

1 WORD CRUX OF BROWDER CASE

U. S. Says He Wrote ‘None’ After Query as to Former Passports.

NEW YORK, Jan. 18 (U. P.).— The Government attempted to establish today that by writing the word ‘none” on a passport application, Earl Browder, general secretary of the Communist Party in the United States committed a fellony punishable by 10 years imprisonment. . ! He wrote “none” in reply to the question: “My last passport was obtained from ——.” The contention was that he had been issued three passports previously, all under different names, and had used them to travel in Europe, at least twice in Russia. The Government was expected to conclude its case foday, calling as a main witness Nicholas Dozenberg, former Soviet spy and : confessed user of a fraudulent passport now awaiting sentence. : Browder allegedly used Dozenberg’s name and naturalization papers in getting one passport. '

Cahill Outlines Charges

As outlined by United States Attorney John T. Cahill, the charge was that Browder entered New York from abroad on April 30, 1937, and on Feb. 15, 1938, using the passport | containing the false statement. He

had obtained that passport Aug. 31, 1934. The statute of limitations excluded any prosecutions arising from his alleged use of passports under false names, and the charge that he had used these passports, issued in the names of “Nicholas Dozenberg of Russia,” “George Morris of Lawrence, Kas.,” and “Albert Richards of Oshkosh, Wis.,” was made only in an attempt to prove that he lied in applying for the passport under his own name in 1934.

Had Two Passports: '

At one time, Mr. Cahill said, Browder had two passports, one in his own name and one in the name Richards, “both available for use as he elected.” Defense Attorney George Gordon Battle attempted in vain to have all reference to the Dozenberg and barred, on the grounds that the application read “my last passport was obtained,” etc., and that the “last” one was the one in Richards’ name. Had this plea been sustained, Dozenberg would have been lost to the Gov-

| ernment as a witness.

BRITAIN POOLS - FOOD TO HELP MUNITION FUND

Rationing Brings Some Grumbles; Food, Clothing, Fuel Prices Higher.

LONDON, Jan. 18 (U. P)— Britain is putting all her éggs in one basket, her butter in one tub and her sugar in oné bowl. This reserve is labeled “the pool’—a

product of Mars from which wartime rations will be drawn. After four months of war Britain decreed a -curtailment in consumption of butter, sugar, ham, bacon and meat. Rationing has come much sooner in this war than in the World War when it was not introduced until February, 1918. The Government and the man in the street remember that period with a shudder. The Minister of Food of ‘that time, Lord Rhondda, feared a revolution unless immediate relief was effected.

No Such Prospect Now . There is no prospect of such a

| predicament today.

British authorities emphasize that the nation’s gigantic war effort requires builets.. Every’ spoonful of sugar that is saved—Britain expects to reduce her sugar imports by 25 per cent—will sweeten Britain's foreign exchange reserve for purchasing airplanes and munitions, The Government began preparations to tighten the average citizen’s belt with a minimum of confusion. There was some grumbling and even - severe criticism of a ration which barely will sweeten tea, butter bread and make forced “meatless” days. Shortly after outbreak of the war the ration plan was worked like a census. . Overnight workers distributed forms and collected them. After that every Briton received a ration book and was registered with a dealer of his choice. The dealer estimated the total quantities which would be needed to meet problems arising from transfer of populations through evacuation and sending soldiers to the front.

Great Market Closed

“Mister Pool,” whom the German radio for some time believed was the food controller, became the most unpopular symbol of the war. Adolf Hitler's threatened blitzkrieg with anticipated bombing of London resulted in the closing of the great Smithfield meat market in London and its re-establishment in smaller outlets throughout the country. Critics said this resulted in over-supplies of meat in some sections and scarcity in others. The butter supply presented similar problems. In Devon and Wiltshire, farmers insist they are forced to slaughter pigs because of an acute feed shortage. In Aryshire, the rugged Scottish cattle country, there is a last roundup as cattle prices mount and breeders and farmers assert Britain has 6nly about two-thirds of the required feed son hand.

Bread Is Plentiful

In Sussex, sheep-~now doubly valuable for “macon’” (mutton bacon) —are meeting a similar fate. But the Government promised to have this situation under control this month. Bread continues to be plentiful, although Britain’ recently was forced to borrow wheat stocks from France. Active steps are being taken to solve the food problem. On the farm there now are ‘huge “land armies” of buxom girls raising Britain’s food supplies. The ‘“conchie” who does not want to fight is going to have to shoulder a hoe. “A pig in every back yard” has become the food ministry’s slogan. It even is urging every Englishman to sacrifice his highly prized flower gardens and plant beans and potatoes.

‘Rationing Good for You’

Newspapers are campaigning that “rationing is good for you.” Diet experts are claiming that food restrictions improve health and power, and cut the death rate. Wartime recipes with| “ration hints” have become a regular feature of newspaper columns, Recommendations include substituting honey for sugar in puddings and cakes, olive oil for butter in pastry, and suggest herring and roe to replace bacon. | Nevertheless, British housewives are hard put to compose substitute menus for the normal British table. Too, housewives are faced with the rising cost of living. Prices of food, fuel and clothing, have increased. The Government contends this is inevitable.
