A—I8 = SCOUT JAMBOREE CAMP PREPARED Living Quarters Are Being Made Ready for 25,000 Due Soon. With little more than two months remaining before 25,000 Boy Scouts from the four points of the compass descend on Washington for their 1937 Jjamboree, construction enginers, un- der direction of Harvey A. Gordon, na- tional director of enginering, have be- gun the task of providing living quart- ers for this army of youths on the 350 acres of land loaned by Congress for that purpose. The encampment will be held from June 30 to July 9. The surveying of six tracts within sight of the Capitol, Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial, and an emergency plot in Abingdon, Va., has been completed. Pipe laying or “ground work” and some actual camp construction has begun. The encampment will be divided into 21 sections, not counting three in Abingdon to be used only in case of an overflow. Each section will pro- vide quarters for more than 1,200 Scouts. The two section of the United States Experimental Farm, Arlington, are nearing completion, and seven sections, very nearly covering Columbia Island, are going up rapidly. Construction work on three in East Potomac Park, four in West Potomac Park, one at the Cricket Grounds and one on the Monu- ment Grounds will be withheld until June 1 In addition to the one section to be used for living quarters, the Monu- ment Grounds also will be used for the Jamboree headquarters and an arena with a seating capacity of more than 20,000 Meanwhile, Gordon has begun work on the director personnel for the jam- boree. Announcement was made yes- terday of the appointment of 34 adult leaders from Boy Scouts Region 8, composed of troops from Iowa, Ne- braska, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and Wyoming. More than 2,000 Scouts | and leaders are expected to come from : these States. Judiciary (Continued From First Page.) Court proposal, with several members on the fence. It is regarded as likely that there will be enough Senators who are supporting the President’s bill, added to those strongly against any increase in the size of the court, to defeat all compromise amendments in the committee discussions. If that s the case, the question will finally come on reporting the bill as it stands—on the Supreme Court. One Senator who has been opposed to the President expressed the opinion that in such event, the measure would be reported 10 to 8. Senator Ashurst reiterated his confidence yesterday that the bill would be reported and passed. Once the measure has reached the floor of the Senate, a long debate is expected, perhaps running two months, After some weeks of debate, proposals for a compromise may be expected to come strongly to the fore. Senator McCarran of Nevada, a member of the committee, already has offered as a substitute for the President’s pro- posal an amendment calling for the definite appointment of two additional Justices of the Supreme Court—and no more. Such a plan, it was said, may be found to have considerable support when the showdown comes. The hearing tomorrow will open with Alan Linburg, a New York | lawyer, on the stand. Chairman Ash- urst yesterday received a telegram from Catherine Curtis, chairman of the Women's National Committee for Hands Off the Supreme Court, ask- | ing that her group be given a chance | to appear before the committee hear- ings close. She said in her telegram: *“Women have shared immeasurably | in the building of our Nation and are | deeply stirred over so grave an issue | which demands full and free expres- sion from the thousands of women in all the States of the Union whose pro- tests we hold and who are vitally concerned with the integrity of the American form of government.” Would Stop at Once. The committee, meeting in execu- tive session yesterday, considered only the question of when the hear- ings should be closed. Senator Hughes of Delaware had had pending for some time a motion to end the hearings forthwith. . After a dis- cussion in the committee, however, | he accepted amendments offered by | Senators McCarran and Pittman of Shipping News | Arrivals and Departures at New York. Allll:flVALs.

Scout Tents Arise Some of the tents bein, erected at the west end o[s of the Scouts who will attend the jamboree here thi Summer, Nevada, respectively, to extend the hearings to April 28 and to permit the filing of 10 written statements on both sides of the question. Opponents of the President’s bill gave the names of a dozen or 15 witnesses they had invited to appear and insisted they should not be cut off. Senator Ash- urst and other supporters of the bill acquiesced. Ashurst insisted that the committee meeting had been entirely harmonious. There will be no hearing tomorrow afternoon “for reasons unannounced,” said Senator Ashurst with a smile. The base ball season opens here tomor- TowW. While the committee prepared to 80 ahead with consideration of the court bill, the drive to put across the President’s plan to increase the mem- bership of the Supreme Court—not- withstanding the recent decisions of the court upholding the Wagner labor relations act and the minimum wage acts of the State of Washington and of the District of Columbia—gathered force. Tomorrow labor's Non-Parti- san League will put on speakers for the court bill in 25 or 30 large cities of the country, and these speeches will be carried over the radio. In Washington Attorney General Cum- mings, Mrs. Borden Harriman, Demo- cratic national committeewoman for the District, and Maj. George L. Berry, head of the league, will speak at 10:30 p.m. over the blue network | of the National Broadcasitng Co. Last night Senator O’Mahoney of Wyoming, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, delivered a radio address in which he discussed particu- larly the Supreme Court’s recent de- cisions, and gave his opirion as to their effect on future legislation deal- ing with industry and labor. He strongly urged the passage of his bill for Federal incorporation of industry. The Wyoming Senator linked with the Supreme Court decisions the fact that Government revenues have fallen below estimates, and that there are still, according to the American Fed- eration of Labor, 9,722,000 persons in the United States “without normal work in industry.” Unemployment Problem. “Federal expenditures are to be re- duced,” saild O'Mahoney, ‘“because deficits are increasing. But unemploy- ment remains an unsolved problem. There is a third circumstance that must not be permitted to escape pub- lic attention. It is that the great corporations of the country are once more making large profits. The Na- tional City Bank of New York has reported this month that last year 1,600 manufacturing and trading cor- porations in the United States made an average profit of 10 1-10 per cent on the book value of all their com- mon and preferred stock. To state it another way, corporate prosperity has been restored, but unemployment re- mains, and the Federal Government cannot, within its revenues, supply made-work at even security wages for the millions who are still without employment. preme Court have been regarded by It Is Springtime % and double) Blossom) Japanese Maples white, SPECIMEN WHITE PINES 8 to 8 ft. at our Nurseries, are the socialites of ever- . greens—always gracious, well- groomed and beau- tiful.

This barrier has now been struck down by the high tribunal itself in the memorable decisions of this month, decisions which mark the end of one era and the beginning of another. “The great significance of the Wag- ner act decisions is that production and manufacture can no longer be held to be outside the authority of the Federal Government, but that they can be brought within that power whenever the facts show they actually affect interstate commerce. In other words the Supreme Court has opened its eyes to realities, and on the basis of actual fact has finally broken through the barrier of legalistic ob- struction. This is a gain that cannot now be lost, because in this decision, the most important in our generation, the court has literally burned its legal bridges behind it. “Now Congress may proceed to the permanent solution of the unemploy- ment problera, the problem of agri- culture and, equally important, the problem of Government finance. In- deed, Congress must proceed to these tasks.” “Interference” Denied. Advocating the passage of his bill for Federal incorporation, O'Mahoney said: “All necessary provisions may be written into the charters so that every one concerned will know his rights. There need not be one bit more Fed- eral interference after the charter and license is granted than there is State interference now after the State char- ter is granted. National charters and licenses provide the only practicable means of preventing monopolistic practices and preserving fiduciary in- tegrity. Every other possible method has been tried and has failed.” Senator Wheeler of Montana, an op- ponent of the court bill, in a statement made yesterday protesting a proposed increase in the land bank interest rate, attacked “packing” the Supreme Court. He said it was not “necessary to pack the Supreme Court or to change the Constitution in order to help the farmers of this country get out from under the load of debt they have been carrying.” 5 FINED IN LIQUOR CASES Alleged “Nip Joint” Operators Also Get Jail Terms.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 17— State’s Attorney Roscoe C. Rowe said James Irvin Howard, colored ex-con- vict, confessed after 12 hours of ques- tioning today that he killed Mrs. Mary Gunther, mother of nine chil- dren. The confession came just after the prisoner’s mother, Nanny Howard, was brought in. The mother stated that she “knew and loved Mrs. Gun- ther,” Rowe said. BShe told before her son, Rowe added, that blood- stained clothing found in an outbuild- ing at the Howard home belonged to Howard. She sald she had patched the clothes. The prosecutor said Howard con- fessed then and later signed a writ- ten confession, in which he gave rob- bery as the sole motive for the crime, In his statement Howard related that he saw an automobile with sev- eral white people in it drive down the lonely road near the Gunthers’ home. He placed a log across the road and waited for the car to return. Mrs. Gunther drove back alone and g0t out to move the log. He said he grabbed her from behind and cut her throat. He said she did not have a chance to make a sound, The man said he took $17.50 from a pocketbook on the seat of the car, but never had a chance to spend the money. He sald he showed it to Ar- thur Snowden, colored, shortly after the Kkilling. Howard said he went home after the slaying and changed clothing. Howard was convicted for burglary in Baltimore, and last month he fin- ished a term for burglary in this county. School Show Slated.
