"WfVe going ■ to hang lilm," said
District Attorney Burori Fltts after
the county grand jury, meeting in
special session last night, returned
indictments fharglng the S2-year old
WPA school crossing guard with first
degree murder.

WASHIN'flTOX, July 7. (API —
Senator Ouffey, O., Pa., carried on
the admihlatratlon's battle, for, Its ju-
diciary, reorgain«tllon program today
by charging, that the supreme court
"lias been . partisan, prejudicial, and
blBKcd in denying woHtlngmeti and
farmers their fundamental legal
rights."
His bluntly worded speech opencil'
tbe, second (day's debate on the com-
promise court bill, calling for t)ie ap-
pointment of one new justice annu-
ally to supplement those serving be-
yond the age of 75.
Ouffey said reorganization of the
supreme court was necessary "to
outlaw economic wrongs and Injus-
tices that have been rankling and
testerlng for generations."
He accused Chief Justice Hftghes
of "campaigning politically against
the administrations' reorganization
program" and termed the chief jus-
tice's appointment " a juicy political
awarded .id "ft republican par-
ty leader."

Through earlier appointments by
President Harding, ttultey contended,
"the court Whs soundly and solidly
packed to such an extent that legis-
iatfon to protect the farther and
worklngmnti was doomed a huost be-
fore It was passed.'*
"A- majority of the aged justices
who compose the • court were intent
upon thwarting the major purposes
of the Roosevelt administration," he.
continued. ''As a result, the people,
the president, and congress were
powerless to act.
Since the president proposed his
reorganization program five months
ago, he said, the court "decided to
yield as the safest Avajr out" nnd re-
versed a number of its earlier de-
cisions.
"When the highest tribunal In the
land sees fit to overthrow Its own
decisions," he declared, "the evi-
dence Is convincing that those dept
