President that he be empowered to appoint, until the total number of justices reaches fifteen, e new justice for each member who has not rsigned within six months of his seventieth birthday, that the public is apt to overlook the broad reorganization of the en- tire Federal Court system which has been urged to speed up and make modern the fanction of the fifty new judges in the lower Federal courts to supplement judges past seventy who refuse te resign, create a “proctor” to keep up with the work of the lower from Phitsdelpbia, ‘consigned to courts, autharize the Chlet Jase: dockets, ban decisions or. in- ernment has been given ample no- measutes to expedite appeals in cases involving the constitutional. The President’s message un- doubtedly was a surprise and ‘amazed many members of Con- gress. General!y, Republicans and anti-New Deal Democrats de- nounced it and full-fledged New Dealers gave it their support. Out- side comment aligned conserva- tive businessmen against “pack- the Court, while Labor lead- ers announced their support. Re- ports indicated that a fringe of those who have supported the President’s earlier legislative pro- gram inclines to desert him on the ‘crucial court issue. Stvessing.the need for “new Blood’? the.;; President’s message ‘itidirectly called. attention to the age of, the present justices. Six of them are past seventy and three are aver seventy-five. Here are their ages:,.. Chief Justice Hughes, 74; Justices Van Devanter, 77; McReyno'ds, 75; Brandeis, Sutherland, 74; Butler, 70; Stone, 64; Roberts, 61; and Cardozo. baa While the President’s proposal to change the number of justices is not new, his position undoubt- edly, creates a crisis in the long history of the court. Originally in 1789 it had six members. The number was reduced to five in} 1801, up to seven in 1807 and to nine in 1837. During the Civil War, the number was ten because Later the Court was reduced to seven members and, under Grant, moved again to nine, with the President accused of “packing” the Court in order to reverse the four-to-three “legal tender” de- cision, Despite the carefully worded language of the President’s mes- sage, its implication clearly em- phasizes that the Supreme Court | is to be subject to the executive end legislative branches of the Bone Roasters, Turkeys, Ducks and Hens, Stags and Big Chicks.

On the President’s side of the issue involved is the undisputed. approval of the people of this. country. Despite the decisions of the Court, upsetting the NRA, the AAA, the Rice Processing tax, the Guffey Coal Act, the Municipal Bankruptcy Act, and other legis- lation, the President and his sup- porters won spectacular victoriey. at the polls. In fact, the triumph of the New Dealers has been more overwhelming in every successive jelection. In view of these -resnits, jthe President assumes‘! that the \igislative and executive undoubt- jedly represent the putlic Opinion jand that deésired legislation ' te’ ;meet modern needs is’ being ‘thwarted solely by the fortuitous jeireamstance which permits’ ‘a rankly conservative court to re main in office unaffected by po- itieal decisions. i | ‘Undoubtediy there is a consid-| jerable reverence for the Supreme ; Court as an institution, and a large | {public support for the theory that an impartial judiciary should hold the scales of justice in passing} |upon constitutional issues.
