Dean urges curb on court and checks on attitude
Northwestern Law Dean Dean Laon Green told the Senate judiciary committee that a majority of the Supreme Court has shown intolerance toward recent legislation. He urged a constitutional check on the court through standard appointment processes and argued Congress and the President share duty to restrain overreach. He cited a serious division in the court before and after the New Deal era, criticizing what he called rigid, partisan interpretations.

Funeral services and burial will be held near Ewing for Mrs. Granville Ayres, her infant, Dora aged three, and Birdie Massengil a seventeen year old Cumberland Gan nurse who perished in a house fire at Caylor in Lee County. Ayres, a tenant farmer with a five year old daughter Betty, escaped by breaking a window as the roof collapsed.

The fire occurred before daybreak and was the worst in Southwestern Virginia in years.
