M., (the New. York afternoon ta b. gid), to give that paper his observations exclusively. Dis- embarking from the Philippine Clipper at San Francisco, we learn, he told California réporters about the same thing as he de- clined comment on the situation in China, bot a little more forcefully, saying: “P. M. | sent me over ona contract. They'd be sore as hell if I gave you in three hours what it took me three months to collect.” So the California reporters didn’t fare any better than The Citizen reporter, even if Key West je the farnous author's home town. tomers not to buy, Ickes, himself, told newsmen recently that the industry’s cooperation was such as he had never seen in his life, ; “= $250,000 for advertising in your. mewspapers, tellin; not to buy products, Did By Gaawanythin st7et : Ickes’ comment was called forth by the fact that the petroleum industry has launched an advertising campaign urging voluntary cooperation in the oj] conserva- tion program, Urging motorists to “make two gallons do the work of three”, the company adver- tisements explain five “does” and five “dont’s” for fuel saving. East coast residents up to now have shown little cooperation with the govern- ment’s campaign for fuel conservation, and the night “blackout” of filling stations ad- mittedly has had little effect beyond bring- ing home to the people an inkling of the fact that business cannot go on entirely as usual through a world crisis. It has been suggested, as a matter of Pfact, that the effectsow the citizens is the ptincipal reason for the nightly shutdown. whether that is:true or not, the fact ‘does remain that ah oil Shortage does exist on the east coast of the nation, and it must be met with some effective measure. From the standpoint of the motorist who does not want to give up his right to buy gasoline at will, the suggestions of the oil companies are the most reasonable an- swer. If it is possibe to do the same amount of driving, but to cut fuel consumption through better driving and a little care of your car, the citizen surely can have no reasonable objection. FIRST SUPREME COURT By the terms of the Constitution, the judicial power of the United States is vested in “one Supreme Court and in such in- ferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.’ Under this provision, the first Congress in 1789 passed an act placing the membership of the Su- preme Court at six, composed of a chief justice and five associate justices, As members of the first court President Washington appointed John Jay of New York as chief justice, and John Rutledge of South Carolina, William Cushing of Massachusetts, James Wilson of Penn- sylvania, John Blair of Virginia and Rob- ert H. Harrison of Maryland as associate justices. . The first session of the court in New York City was called for February 1, 1790, but only three members appeared, so ad- journment was taken until the following day, when four were present—Jay Cush- ing, Wilson and Blair—and the court was organized, with Edmund Randolph of Vir- ginia as the first attorney general. On Feb- ruary 3, John Tucker of Massachusetts was inducted as the court’s first clerk. There is nothing of'fecord to show that Robert H. Harrisdn’éver accepted his appointment as associate justice, and James Iredell of North Carolina was appointed in his»stead in 1790. Original salaries were $4,000 a year for the chief justice and $3,500 for as- sociate justices. At present the salaries are $20,500 for the chief justice and $20,000 for associate justices. the number of members have been made by Congress, the largest number being 10, but since 1869 the court has been composed of nine members, six of whom constitute a quorum, PLANNING FOR POWER The proposal to. increase the power 9,000,000 kilowatts is extremely interest- ing in view of the contention,a few years ago, that the nation was over-building hydro-electtic plants, The kilowatt capacity is now aroutd 42,000,000. Tt:does not seem to be enough | that its program includes expansion that will be undertaken regardless of the de- fense program. What has become of the idea that the Tennessee Valley Authority was going to produce so much power that there would be no market? The seareity that now exists, after enormous plants have been construct- ed, demonstrates that this argument was fallacious, | \ # New York Heartbeat: ‘The Big Parade: Ted Lewis, who makes $3,000 a week, still asking auttiences if THEY are .
