FOR AND AGAINST
JUDICIARY PROPOSAL
WASHINGTON, March 1
In radio addresses, the Democratic Senators Royal S. Copeland and W. F. George attacked President Roosevelt's Judiciary programme, and Judge Black, of the New York Supreme Court, defended it. Senator Copeland said that the plan was an effort by the President and Congress to increase/ powers without sanction.
Senator George said President Roosevelt was violating a Democratic platform pledge and attempting • a short-cut instead of a constitutional amendment.
Judge Black said there was nothing the matter with the Constitution except what the Supreme Court had done to it. The President was trying to save the Constitution from further perversion.
