VAN DEVANTER
GOES TO FARM
Washington, June 2.—Justice Wil-
lis Van Devanter exchanged Wed-
nesday his busy 26-year career as a
member of the Supreme Court for
that of a gentleman farmer.
His colleagues in a letter express-
ed “high esteem and warm affec-
tion” and "a poignant sense of re-
gret” at his voluntary retirement.
In reply, Van Devanter said he
would carry happy memories of the
association “together with profound
respects and true affection” for
each of those remaining.
The 78-year-old justice attended
his final session of the court Tues-
day, when the tribunal adjourned
until next October. His retirement
marks the first change in its mem-
bership since Benjamin N. Cardoso
was appointed a justice in 1932 to
succeed 91-year-old Oliver Wendell
Holmes.
Postponement Unlikely.
Van Devanter intends to spend
most of his time at his 788-acre
Maryland farm. Later on in the
Summer, he expects to visit the
Seigniory Club, a gathering place
for sportsmen in Canada.
President Roosevelt has given no
indication of his intentions in se-
lecting a successor.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader, is being
boomed by many of his colleagues
for the post. A number of other
Government officials and -.widely
known attorneys also are being dis-
cussed.
Legal experts say the President
could delay an appointment indefi-
nitely if he should desire. Several
HAPPENINGS IN
THE LEGISLATURE,
BY TROY E. KERN
Today is the aixth day of the first
called session of the 45th Legisla-
ture, and the repeal of pari-mutuel
betting at race tracks is the only
issue that is before the-House. The
Governor consistently insisted that
this issue be voted upon during the
regular session, - and that if it wart
■not- voted upon, he would be forced
to call a special session especally for
that purpose.
The House passed this bill in the
early days of the session by a Vote
of over two-thirds majority, but the
anti-repealista in the Senate were
successful in their filabustering ef-
forts to prevent its coming to a vote
there. Time after time, the Cover
nor urgd that this matter be voted
on and insisted each time that he
would b,j satisfied wtih the decision
but that it was the vote he wanted.
When the special session of the Leg-
islature was convened on Thursday
of last week, he submitted no other
issue except that of the repeal of
the horse racing law, and no* other
issue can be worked on until that is
dis» tsed of.
On Monday of this week, the
House engrossed this bill by a vote
of 108 to 28, but failed to suspend
the rules and place it on third read
iqg and final passage by a vote of
100-36. It takes a four-fifths ma-
jority to place a bill on third read-
ing and filial passage on the same
day that it is engrossed. On t-he
safe day, the Criminal Jurisprudence
Committee in the Senate voted this
same bill out by a vote of 7-5, and
it u now on the floor of the Senate,

Congressmen pointed out, however, i ture is not what many people thjnk
that his court reorganization pro-
gram was intended to inject "new
blood” into the court, making it un-
likely he would postpone action un-
duly. a
Only One Unconfirmed.
Whoever is named must he con-
firmed by the Senate-. Since 1790,
when the court first met, the Sen-
ate has failed to confirm 22 nomi-
nees. , ’ »
Nine were definitely rejected,
four nominations were withdrawn,
and the Senate either votedoto post-
pone action or refused to vote at all
o*o nine others.
John J. Darker of North Carolina,
still a biember of the Circuit Court
of Appeals, was the lhteat nominee
rejected for the high tribunal. He
was appointed by President Hoover
in 1930 to succeed the late Justice
Edward T. Sanford of Tennt-asee
After Parker's rejection the Presi-
dent appointed the present Justice
Owen J. Roberts.
Supreme Court historian* say
John Rutledge of S-tuth Carolina j
vVas the only nnan who ever sat on]
the bench before Senate-confirms-|
tion. He served as chief justice for]
four months in 17 7tj, urttil his nom-j
ination by President George . Wash-j
ington was rejected by the Senate, j
He had aroused opposition by efi-!
tieixing the Jay treaty w ith England, i
it is. it only prohibits the making
of beta on horse races in of about
an inclosurc. This word would make
it ripply only to that betting that is
done at the tracks and would leave
bookie shops wide open to take bets
on races to, be run in Florida, Cali-
fornia, Kentucky or any other state
without interference. The Governor
has promised that a« quickly as the
race track repeal bill is passed, he
will immediately submit a bookie re
peal bill. He has learned from past
experience_ that it pays to submit
I one tRinjf at a time, in order to pre-
I vent the loss of probably both is-
suer, because if two questions were
I submitted, there would he twice the
| ifiance of parliamentaly tangles and
I filabustej-s, resulting in the loss of
J both of them. Every mepiher in thb
Legislature, whether he be in the
House of the Senate, knows, and has
known for some time, Jjst* how he
would vote on these two issues, and
I see no reaeon why there should be
such a great delay in getting final
action. This problem was thrashed
out during the regular session and
wn understand it thoroughly,
seems to the -that all the members
concerned should be willing to put
the question to /a vote and let
staild or fall, and quit spending all
of our time on this one little

Washington.—The United State*
will cling to it* policy of strict neu-
trality in the face of congressional
demands that an arms embargo be
invoked against Germany and Italy,
waa indicated Wedneaday after
President Roosevelt had reviewed
the tense European situation with
his foreign affairs advisers,
t
The President spent two hour*
with Secretary of State Cordell Hull,
Undersecretary Sumner Welles and
Norman Davis, America's roving
Ambassador, during wURJr the gen-
eral international situation was ex-
plored.
Afterward, Stephen T. Early, sec-
retary to the President, indicated no
new policies had been formulated
and that no new decisions had been
reached. Hull repeatedly has empha-
sized this country must maintain ita
policy of strict neutrality toward all
elements concerned in the Spanish
war and must maintain its independ-
ence of action.
Before the conference at the
White House, Chairman Key Pitt-
man (Dem.) of Nevada, of the pow-
erful Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee, said the committee- will make
no move toward invoking the neu-
trality act against other powers in
the F.uropean crisis because it might
endanger our own peace.
The committee met Wednesday
ami Pittman said it showed no in-
clination to interfere in the Presi-
dent's discretion in the matter.
Other developments, bearing on
the situation included:
Chairman James M. Mead (Dem.)
of New York, of the House Post Of-
fice Committee, said 1,000 planes in
the American airmail service can he
transformed quickly into bombers.
Secretary of Commerce Dabiel C.
Roper said Spain apparently is fi-
nancing ita civil war in part through
export trade with the United States.
A four-man House delegation ask-
ed llufl to apply embargo provisions
of the neutrality act against Ger-
many and Ituly on the ground they
are waging undeclared war against
Spain. ,
The Senate Finance Committee de-
ferred action on all antiwar profits
measures pending a report from the
Treasury on profits made by muni-
tions makers during the World War.
Representative Hamilton Fish
(Rep.) of New York supported
resolution designed to ban all ship-
ments of arms abroad.
The Foreign Affairs Committee
thoroughly reviewed the Spanish and
European situations but took no ac-
tion.
“The President ha* the uuthqrity
to declare that a male of wur exists
and if the neutrality act should be
invoked," Pittman said. The Euro-
pean nonintervention nations are
seeking to keep the warfare localiz-
ed in Spain and so far have succeed-
ed. There is nothing we can do to
ant them and uny attempted' action
on our part might disrupt their ef-
forts and endanger our own peace.”
Pittman opposed a proposal by
Senator Gerald P. Nye (Rep.) of
North Dakota to ban all arms ship-
ments abroad on the ground the
Government should not destroy pri-
vate arms business until a substitute
program can be adopted.
The House delegation, which urg-
| ed Hull to strike at Germany ami
| Italy because of their activities in
Spain, comprised John T. Bernard
l(F.-L.) of Minnesota, John M. Cof-
fee (Dem.) of Washington, Robert
| G. Alien (Dem.) of Pennsylvania
and Jerry J. O’Connell (Dem.) of
I Montana, The group cited the Ger-
man bombardment of Almeria and
in a sharply worded statement said:
I Alter Almeria the American peo-
ple certainly cannot accept the con-
tention that German and Italian
participation in the Spanish war has
not been estalbished hjr evidence.
To the plain people of this country,
evidence of Italian arid German ag-
Igiession now appears overwhelm-
