e THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, SATURDAY, APRTI, 10, 1937, AT OR WALSHHIS COURT PROPOSA Impeachment of Justices | Would Be More Honest, | He Declares. | Impeachment of the four Supreme Court justices who stand in the way of New Deal laws would be a more honest snd ‘“less dangerous” method of protecting the Roosevelt legislative program than the proposal to enlarge ihe tribunal, Rev. Dr. Edmund A ‘Walsh, vice president of Georgetown University, declared last night. Past movements to change the size of the court, Dr. Walsh said during an address in Constitution Hall, were necessitated by the fact the justices #at on the circuit benches and a Rrowing couniry constantly demanded an increase in the number of circuit eourts. ‘The proposal,” bhe said, “to add ®iX new justices who will be expected antecedently to favor legislation that may come before them for review is historically the first serious and pianned attempt to subordinate the Judiciary o0 the legislature.” The court proposal brings the coun- try face to face with a constitutional crisis, Dr. Walsh said, and if “the tendency revealed in the proposed legislation™ triumphs, the Federal Union will be scrapped, although the Republic may continue 1o exist If the proponents to the present bill fear to submit an amendment to the people as Jefferson advised for puch circumstances,” Dr. Walsh said, “let them exercise their legal powers | under the Constitution and impeach | the four justices whose acts have been !

HYLIFE were on a vacation trip. Mrs. Hylife bad watched her husband closely to see that he didn’t get away on any private excursions because she knew his friv- olous nature. One evening she decided to take a nap before going out, so, while Mrs. Hylife rested, her husband went party-hunting in the hotel. Be- ing a hunter of no mean ability he found his quarry and, although the Yale lock on the door proved a tem- POrary barrier, was soon singing as far off key as any one else and even sere- naded other floors of the hotel. When he returned to his room his wife, of course, was indignant. By way of ex- planation Mr. Hylife falteringly stated that he had returned to the room sev- eral times but upon peeking through the keyhole discovered she was still resting and, he said, “You know, dear, how you bawl me out when I disturb your rest.” She started to forgive him, picked up her coat and the room key and started to walk out the door when she suddenly whirled and caught Mr, Hylife off balance with & right hook, As he crashed to the floor she said, BY THORNTON W.

Mrs. Longbill had said he could; that he sang in the | lovely song. Peter Rabbit doubted this in part at least. He doubted that || Longblll was capable of a real honest- to-goodness song, it occurred to him that he hadn't seen Longbill this Spring. “Where is Tongbill?” he demanded. “Oh, he is around somewbere, prob- ably looking for me in another part of the swamp. I've been teasing him a little by keeping out of his sight. The Black Shadows are beginning to arrive and when the dusk is a littie deeper he will come to sing o me, 1| am sure,” replied Mrs. Longbill ‘ “I'll stick around,” said Pefer to | himself. “I'll stick around and find out if Longbill really does sing.” Mrs, Longbill disappeared, just when or where Peter hadn't the least idea. The truth is that, sitting still, doing nothing, Peter had be- come sleepy and had dozed off for a few minutes without realizing it. Mrs. Longbill had slipped back of & little. clump of young alders and squatted down among the dead brown leaves. She looked so much like them that Peter might have looked straight at her without seeing her. when Peter saw Mrs, Longbill just & little way from him.

Now Longbill was doing the same thiig. | impressive, for you know, Longbill's tail is very short. He had spread it | as much as he could and had cocked |1t as high as he could. He had | thrown back his head as far as he could and, of course, this made his long bill point upward. His spread | wings were lowered and he was strut- | ting and bowing in the oddest manner, Peter was on the point of asking him what all that performance was for when Longbill took to his wings.

I never would have believed it if I hadn’t been right here to see and hear for myself.” “Didn’t I tell you he could sing? And it is for me, just for me,” said Mrs. Longbill, suddenly appearing be- | fore Peter. Then she disappeared as the whistling notes that Peter had heard before the song were repeated and came nearer and nearer until Long- bill alighted only a few feet away. Then he began to strut and bow again, but somehow after that song | this didn’t look so silly to Peter. And even after he knew that it was 80, it was hard for Peter to believe that Longbill the Woodcock can and | does sing.
