EX-JUDGE'S VIEW
ROOSEVELT'S JUDICIARY. PROPOSAL
WITHIN POWERS OF CONGRESS
NEW YORK, March 23.
Judge John Clarke, the only living former Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, in a radio address on the purely legal question of President Roosevelt's judiciary proposal, said that the number' of Justices had been changed seven times by Act of Congress. Few, if any, of the important powers of Congress had been exercised so early or so often, he said. That power had never been questioned before.
The President's proposal plainly was within the powers granted to Congress, he added.
