FIGHT ON COURT “SAVEDU.S.: FOR

. %Changed Attitude’ Is Major ~ Achievement in First 2 Terms, He Says.

* WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 (U. P.). “President Roosevelt revealed to@ay that'he launched his historic

Supreme Court enlargement fight in

1937 because a “dead hand”-—that of the tribunal—had almost “completely undermined” the New Deal with decisions based on outmoded econ-

der the title, “The Fight Goes : On,” She Chief .. Roosevelt Executive said Me “ that, had the frend of the Court's decisions continued, “if is my reasoned opinion that there might have been great danger that it (the Government) might have been ultimately comed to give way to some alien of government.” ““This might have come about, he wrote, “in the vain hope that the new form .of government might be able to give the average men and women the protection and co-oper-‘ative assistance that they had the right to expect.” “For that reason, I regard the effort . . . and the immediate results of it as among. the most important domestic achievements of my first two terms in office.”

Brought New Attitude

‘Mr. Roosevelt referred to his illfated request for legislation to reorganize the high court which, though defeated in the Senate, gen- . erally was credited with having brought about a change in the tribunal's attitude to New Deal legislation. He related how the nation was

verging on pagic when he begun his first regime and told of the legislative panaceas—labor and social reforms, farm improvement, power development and other “recovery” measures—devised and enacted by New Deal leaders in an attempt to put the country on a going basis. And he cited reversals suffered before the high tribunal, beginning with invalidation of petroleum conservation laws in January, 1935, and elimaxed with -scrapping the New York state law setting up a minimum wage system for industrial women in June, 1936. - In between, he noted, the court had vetoed the Federal Government’s right to establish standards incorporated in: the Old National Recovery Act, invalidated the Agricultural Adjustment Act and upheld . by one vote—"the slim margin of one human being” — the Government’s power to abrogate gold clauses in vate and public contracts, a y he described as “the very foundation” of the recovery program.

People Made Choice He said the American people had made their choice in 1932 by votIng out of office “a more or less do-nothing government” and electing the New Deal; then had “emPliatized” their decision in the 1934
