She was acquitted, but subsequently the documents were pub- lished. This led to the disintegration of the organization in those two States, nounced the opening of the court, Chief Justice Hughes leaned forward slightly and said: “Hugo L. Black of Alabama, former member of the Senate of the United iSln(Ps. has been nominated by the ;Prrsidem As an associate justice of the Supreme Court. The nomination has been confirmed by the Senate and he has filed his commission.” Arrived at Building Early. Justice Black had reached the Su- preme Court Building at 9 a.m., three hours in advance of the opening of the session. Going at once to his| chambers, he refused to see reporters. It was learned, however, that he | had reserved one of three benches | in the court room placed there for | the convenience of friends of the | justices. Mrs. Black, with a party of | Telatives and friends, occupied these | seats, i Mrs. Black, wearing a small, veiled black hat and a black coat collared with silver fox, arrived 20 minutes be- fore noon. With her was her sister, Mrs. Clifford Durr of Alexandria. Speaks to Those Nearby. Mrs. Black smiled brightly at sev- eral friends in the room, and spoke She wore three strands of pearls about the neck of her black dress and her premature- | ly grey bobbed hair fluffed about her face. is all the power in the world up there, why add more to it?’ | He said the Federal Government | had done and would continue to do a| great many things for the “preserva- | tion of our water out through the dr)‘i areas and in taking people off land | where they cannot possibly live and | give them a chance to farm on good | land.

It is expected to be com- pleted in two years at a cost of $108,- 000,000 Provision for power has not been authorized. Wheeler, in a telegram to the President, urged him to favor in- stallation of power units immediately, but the latter did not tak> a direct stand on this, J Marvels at Size of Dam. The President marveled at the vil- lages, the scores at work despite the Sabbath, the great length and breadth of the earth and rock dam—4 miles long and half a mile thick at the base ~the vast spillway, the hydraulic dredges and the diversion tunnels. Back at the train, he said he had been “thrilled by it not only because it is four times bigger than any other earth-filled dam in the whole world, but because of what it is going to do for the people of Montana and the whole Missouri basin.” He said the New York publisher at first “hgmmed and hawed” when asked how he would balance the budget, and could not answer, although he was saying through his newspaper it was “perfectly simple to do it.” He added he finally ascertained the publisher’s “philosophy” when the lat- ter said “all this business of helping people is ruining the country. Look at my taxes. I have to pay half of all my income to the Federal and State and local taxes.” Income Put at $400,000. The President said he “happaned to know™ the man’s income was $400,- 000 a year. “And that poor man,” he added, “thought he was going to the poor house because, after paying his taxes, he only had $200,000 a year left.” Earlier, at Havre, Mont., the Presi- dent told a depot crowd the balancing of the budget of human and natural Tesources was just as important to the future of America as “that of the Treasury, important as that may be.

Others in the front row reserved for the Black family were Mr. Durr, Re- construction Finance Corp. attorney, Mr, and Mrs, Sterling Foster, Hollis Black and Edward Rozelle. Mrs. Black chatted with Senator | Minton, Democrat, of Indiana a few | minutes before she took her seat. Mrs. Brandeis, sitting back of her, shook hands. Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Roberts came in later, Senator Minton, supposed to have been the last man eliminated from consideration by the President for the court vacancy, was in the court room 45 minutes before the justices filed in to take their seats, All Seats Taken. All of the more than 300 seats in the room were taken shortly after 11 am. and long lines of spectators waited outside the chamber in the futile hope of catching a glimpse of the new justice during his first day on the bench. Newsreel photographers, their bril- liant flares illuminating the dim cor- ridors of the court house, were per- mitted to photograph the crowd before the court opened. Outside, a comedy note was injected into the scene by a large yellow tomcat that stalked back and forth before the entrance, survey- ing the visitors with a disdainful eye. A notice was posted on the bulletin board in the press room stating that Jerome A. Cooper, 24, of Birmingham, had been selected by Justice Black as his law clerk. This notice said Justice Black had known Cooper’s family for a number of years, and added: “He is of the Jewish faith.” After Justice Black had taken his seat, he looked over to the place in the room where his wife was seated.

Arguments in Black Suit Levitt, in Case Before | | By the Associated Press. | The arguments advanced by Albert Levitt, former Federal judge in the Virgin Islands, in challenging Justice ! Black's right to sit on the Supreme Court: 1. Levitt, a member of the Supreme Court bar, “Is a humble officer of said court,” and as such has a duty and right to present information or knowledge that any person is engaging in any “unlawful activity which will interfere with or prevent the proper and lawful administration of justice in the Supreme Court.” Supreme Court, Holds “Purported Appointment” to Be Unlawful. 2. Levitt as an attorney “has the right to ask that only those persons who have been lawfully appointed as Chiet Justice or as associate justices should be permitted to sit as judges in causes and controversies which come before the Supreme Court for | trial and judgment.” 3. The Constitution provided that “No Senator or Representative shall, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office | under the authority of the United | States, which shall have been created, {or the emoluments whereof shall have | be filled, and that if there were Black would be ineligible for it. His contention there is no vacancy is based on the theory that the retire- | ment of Justice Van Devanter last | June did not create a vacancy, since the jurist still may be called on for service on the lower Federal courts | This, Levitt says, leaves him techni- | cally still a member of the Supreme | Court, as he has not been given any other judicial status, He says it would be necessary for Van Devanter to | sever his connection completely by re- signing before a vacancy would occur. His second point is that in any event Black is not eligible for the post because he was a member of the Congress that voted the retirement bill permitting justices under certain conditions to retire at full pay. Levitt says this amounts to an increase in emoluments for the justices, and the Constitution prohibits any member of a Congress voting to increase the emoluments of an office from accept- ing appointment to that office.

No Vacancy. 5.0n March 1, 1937, Congress passed an act permitting justices to retire at full pay of $20,000 a year when they become 70 and have served 10 years. Retired justices are eligible for service on lower courts. 6. This retirement act “did increase the emoluments of the justices of the Supreme Court.” 7. Justice Black was a Senator when the act was passed “and so was ineli- gible to be appointed to any civil office * * * the emoluments of which had been increased” by the legislation. 8. Justice Willis Van Devanter re- tired on June 2 in accordance with the retirement act. 9. The retirement “did not annul or vacate his commission as an asso- ciate justice” and he “still is an as- sociate justice.” 10. The Supreme Court “lawfully still consists of only one Chief Justice | and eight associate justices, including Associate Justice Willis Van De- vanter.” 11. “There is not now, and there has not been since the retirement of the said Willis Van Devanter, any | vacancy upon the bench of the Su- of Government loans and grants f‘“’;preme Court.” Appointment Unlawful. 12.
