Parliamentary maneuvering be= gan immediately. | Senator Wheeler told the Senate that the Administration’s court plan was suggested to him a year {ago by “two men close to the Presi- dent,” but he said he warned them not to take it into a political cam- paign because it would “wreck- the: President.” Senator Wheeler, an opponent of | the court reorganization plan, made his assertion after Senator Logan, |a supporter, told the Senate that some opponents of the Administra- |tion are using the court issue to | “destroy” President Roosevelt. Senator | Guffey accused the Supreme Court !of having been “partisan, preju- |diced and biased in denying work- ingmen and farmers fundamental A\l rights.” 2 Bouquet Miss Pickford Senator Wheeler failed to name his informants.

MOUNT VERNON, Wash., July 7. —One hundred men are searching the Baker Lake District, 43 miles| northeast of here, for two girls, Col- leen Dinsworth, aged 11, of Bremer-| ton, and Billie Daniels, aged 10, of Seattle. The President has not lost in- |terest in the Highway, and there is good ground to feel that means of financing the proposed construc- tion, satisfactory to both the Unit- |ed States and to Canada, may be developed.

July 7 The Philadelphia Bulletin, in a copyrighted dispatch from a staff correspondent at Simpsonvile, Maryland, quotes former Justice vVan Devanter, of the Supreme Court as saying the “court has weathered storms before and I am sure the Court will weather the present storm and then the country will proceed on a prosperous way.” The former member of the high- est court in the United States said he intended to resign five years ago but stayed on until he became con- make & mueh shorter route than thelterior on another hihting expedi-[vinced he owed it to himself to present one via Hawall tion, quit, the! long. The establishment of the Signal Corps operated radiotelephone cir- cuit between Seattle and Juneau is in keeping with the policy and practice of the War Department to keep pace with the progress and development of the communication so as to provide the army of thu United States and, in this in- | stance, the public at large, with the most improved communication | facilities. | The Signal Corps of the Army has operated the Alaska communi- | cations system since 1900 when the \(?uume&; authorized the establish- | ment of thig system for both mili- | tary and commercial purposes. This .xysu-m first consisted of land lines |and submarine cables. This means of communication was later superseded by radiotele~ graph communication and today the principal means of communicd- tion in Alaska and between Alaska and the continental United States is by radiotelegraph. Accordingly, the new radiotele- phone channel between Seattle and Juneau augments the existing radiotelegraph facilities of the Al- aska communication system. Cor- responding to the present practice of relaying Alaskan commercial radiotelegraph traffic via commer- cial telegraph companies at Seat- tle, provision has been made for interconnecting the newly installed War Department radiotelephone channel between Seattle and Ju- neau with the Bell System wire lC()!\l&l{!;Bd on Page Two)
