Commenting on ng his to who ed he question of the eonstitutionality of Black's appoint- ment, Chairman Neely said it was not the duty of the subcommittee to “con- strue the Constitution. “The duties of the subcommittee.” he added. “ave restricted to ascertain- ment of the qualifications of the gibility of Senator Black for member- | &hip on the Supreme Court.” | Taking the lead in support of Black's Appointment, Dieterich declared it must be presumed that the President was adyised of the legal qualifications of the nominee before he sent the name to the Senate. In a plea to his colleagues not to “hold up the nomination of a Senator | to an office of this kind,” Dieterich continued “This is not like going outside and getting a man we know nothing about No matter how we may differ with the philosophies of the nominee, we know | he is industrious and a good lawye Assert that Senator Black is *qualified in every way to serve” Dieterich said he did not think this nomination should be delayed. | Attend as Observers. 1 Senator Austin made his demand for | public hearinzs immediately after the fubcommittes met.

One of them, he said, asked whether the Senate or John L. Lewis, C. I O leader, was confirming the appoint- ment. Neely said, however, that no one had asked for a hearing, and he believed none was necessary | He expressed the opinion that mem- | bers of the committee knew Black's record completely. | Borah Fails to See Point. \ Puring the committee discussion Borah said he did not see any point in the issue raised by Austin about the emoluments of the office being created. But he repeated his asser- tion, recently made in the Senate, that there was no vacancy on the| court. | The Idahoan said that “reserving the right to present that issue” when he desired, he was ‘“prepared to vote” on a report confined to Black's quali- fications. Senator Logan said Borah's point ' raised the question as to whether Congress had created a new post on ing the court during Black's term of office, | which under the Constitution would make the Alabaman ineligible to serve. | “My view,” Borah replied, “is that there hasn't been any additional jus- tice created. It should have been done, but it hasn't been done. That's no fault of the President's. It was our duty to prepare the legislation.” Senator Logan contended the nflkw;‘ in question had “existed since the creation of the Government.” He added, however, that if the argument | made recently on the Senate floor by Borah were right, “the emoluments would have been increased.” McGill declared, “If a new office’ has been created, it is the one held | STEAM HII:S. » ‘GREAT LAKES CRUISES | Write for .

Most of the expressed opposition was from Republicans—notably Sena- ol Austin, Bridges of New Hamp- shire and Vandenberg of Michigan Bridges said he believed Black does not have the *judicial temperament necessary for a Supreme Court jus- tice.” The others did not give their asons. | On the Democratic %ldr, Senator King of Utah, a Judiciary Commit- tee member, objected to the choice. | More significant than the out-| criticism—from the stand- votes—was the silence of | Black’s Democratic col- leagues, particularly those from his own “deep South.” Most of the Southern Senators opposed the wage and hour bill which he sponsored.

By in- creased rentals and by tipping up per- centage arrangements so the pro- ducer’s share of house profits is jumped and the exhibitor's lowered. Nearly all engagements are now played on the percentage plan. That is, the producer becomes a partner with the exhibitor on each engage- ment, sharing with him on a previously | arranged basis, after overhead ex- | pense has been deducted. Few out- | and-out rental deals are negotiated any more. The producer insists on being counted “in” when the grosses are heavy. However, he does not like to share an exhibitor’s losses.
