B2 * HYDE SEES EFFORT 10 CONTROL COURY Secretary, in St. Louis Talk, Assails Senators’ Fight Against Hughes. By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, February 15.—Arthur M. Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture in Pre: dent Hoover's cabinet and former Gov- ernor of Missouri, attacked the Senators who opposed confirmation of Charles Evans Hughes as Chief Justice of the United States, during his address as the principal speaker at the 1930 Lin- coln day banquet of the Association of Young Republicans of Missouri here tonight. “The recent debate in the Senate upon the confirmation of Chief Justice Hughes was an illuminating _thing,” Secretary Hyde said. “Stripped to the YOW. it means that those Senators who believe in_subordinating the Supreme Court_to Congress propose to do it, if possible, by withholding confirmation from all who do not agree with their Ppolitical theories. Calis It Preview. “This would be a preview of the Ae- cisions of the court which, for all p1 c- tical purposes, is tantamount to a re- view of its decisions. “It is fortunate that the debate arose over the confirmation of such a man as Chief Justice Hughes. His character is taimpeachably high. His legal training has been exceptionally broad. No ques- tion was raised as to either. His ability was not challenged. This strips the meaning of the debate down to the one question: Shal Congress enforce its own political theory upon the Supreme Court? “I have no quarrel with those who, with wide-open eyes, hold that the de- cisions of the Supreme Court should be subject to the political theories which Congress, from time to time, might en- tertain. They are within their rights 50 to belleve. 'They simply reside in the wrong country. “Cynical Spectacle.” “But what of those other Senators who voted with them? To my mind, those Senators who, themselves . creatures of political action, voted against confirmation on the ground that Chief Justice Hughes had accepted his party’s nomination for the greatest of- fice in the world, presented the most cynical and hyrocmlc:l spectacle the American people have witnessed in many years.” About 1200 Missourl Republicans ‘were here for the Lincoln day meeting and banquet, which is the early Re- publican rally of the 1930 election cam- ign in rl. United States Senator Roscoe Pat- terson of Missouri, who voted for the confirmation of Hughes, and Represent- ative L. C. Dyer of Missouri also con- demned members of their party who failed to uphold President Hoover. BOAT APPROACHES BYRD PARTY SLOWLY Capt. Melville Trying to Get Into| Barrier Ice to Escape High Seas. BY RUSSELL OWEN, By Wireless to The Star and the New York Times. LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, Feb- 15—The bark City of New , is making a crabwise course to reach the members of the Byrd expedi- tion. She is making southing but no easting, and today dead reckoning posi- tion showed that she had made about 60 miles south. Capt. Melville’s desd reckoning position at noon would place the ship about 40 miles north of the Barrier and some distance to the west of Discovery In-Let, or about 200 miles away. | peaks Tonight | | | | { { y i an, who addressed Washington alumni_ of { the university at dinner in the Raleigh Hotel last night. MICHIGAN'S ALUMNI HEAR NEW EXECUTIVE Dr. Ruthven Is Chief Guest Here at Annual Banquet of Gradu- ates’ Association. the University of Michigan greeted the new president of that institution, Dr. Alexander G. Ruthven, at their annual banguet at the Raleigh Hotel last night. Dr. E. W. Brandes, president of the as- sociation, presided, while Scott Turner acted as toastmaster. Dr. Ruthven described himself as “the greenest college president in cap- tivity,” the only man who ever served a college as dean of women, and warned his hearers that the average life of a college president in America was only three years. He spoke on the “alumni program of the University of Michigan.” Backsliders among the alumni were scored by the speaker. He advanced the theory, “Once a student, always a student,” and asked the continuous use of the facilities of the university, fol- lowing as well as before graduation. In the alumni council, rTecently created, he said, the clinical method would be used, with a director and council already in charge. Among the original methods of aiding the alumni to be tried out are the radio, motion pictures, general circulation of lists of books and an “Alumni University,” to be held immediately after commence- ment each year. Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg paid high tribute to the memory of Harry B. Hutchins, former president of the university, who recently died. Dr. G. Carl Huber, dean of the Graduate School of the University, told of de- velopments in his department. Repre- sentative James C. McLaughlin, dean of the Michigan delegation in Congress, told some amusing reminiscences of the university. | More than 200 Washington alumni of | THE SUNDAY TRAFFIC“ANNED' | AT THOMAS CIRCLE | 15-Minute Tie-Up Is Caused by Inauguration of New = | Signal Light System. ; Confusion and congestion reigned in alternate periods with orderly vehicular and pedestrian trafic movement at Thomas Circle yesterday as the red, | green and amber lights of the traffic | control system installed there auto- | matically flashed their “stop,” “go” and | “caution” signals at a perplexed public. | | While peaceful navigation of street cars, automobiles and pedestrians | marked the greater part of the initial day's functioning of the signals, offi- cers on duty at the circle had their | hands full to keep the flow of traffic | moving during the rush hours. At 4:45 in the afternoon Thomas Circle wit- nessed one of the most entangled jams | that it has seen in many a long day. Traffic did not budge for nearly 15 minutes and in the end the lghts were turned off until the congestion was relieved. Bus Driver Is Blamed. | A bus driver proceeding south on | Vermont avenue was blamed for the |mess when he got his vehicle across | the street car tracks on the north side | of the circle between a northbound and a southbound trolley. Autos be- bind him, he could not back up, and the street cars themselves could move neither forward nor back. By divert- {ing traffic along Vermont avenue and | Massachusetts avenue Sergt. J. T. Wittstatt and Policeman Charles R. Dyer and H. H. Clark of the second precinct were able, amid the din of honking horns and verbal ejaculations of exasperated motorists, to clear the jam. Wittstatt and his colleagues were busy last night endeavoring to educate impatient pedestrians as to how they might cross on the traffic signals. Be- tween the fast-moving flows of vehicu- lar trafic proceeding on green lights, they could be seen about the circle with little groups of “students” around them, offering instructions and answering { questions. ‘Two platforms, one at the north end and one at the south end of the circle, which heretofore had served as “salety islands” between the widely separated sidewalks for pedestrians caught in a flow of traffic in the middle of the road, were removed entirely to facilitate the | operation of the new system. | “It Said ‘Go!’ Didn't 1t?” ‘Thomas Circle is the third circle in | Washington to be equipped with auto- matic signals. Many excited women crossing at the walks designated for pedestrians gave | officers of the second precinct a task that was not without its amusing side. Policeman Dwyer had ocgasion to stop and warn several. One woman wanted when to cross if been there. “Why aren’t the instructions painted on the sidewalk?” she demanded. “How am I supposed to know what to do?” Another indignantly objected to being prevented from making her way across on the green light. “Well! What are you stopping me for? It says ‘go,’ doesn't 1t?” she ex- claimed, waving an agitated hand in the direction of the signal opposite her. The officer hastened to assure her that her sight was not failing, but that the the officer had not Seventy per cent of India's 250,000,- 000 live by agrictulture. Capt. Melville is apparently trying to get into the ice of the barrier where the seas wiil be less severe and he can make more headway, even against the wind, which still holds from the east here, and is southeast at the ship. Then he can turn to the east and skirt the Bar- zier to reach the Bay of Whales. He reports chopp firm the impression among the sailors here that he is getting under the lee of the Barrier. A blizzard is blowing, however, and the visibility is very poor. He does not mention the formation of ice on the ship today, so, apparently, that condition is not getting worse, and winds up his message by saying, “All well.” The ship’s crew must be worn out, however, as they have had a con- tinual gale and battle with high seas and ice since leaving the pack. If all goes well, they should reach here in few days.
