| Description | Cartoon shows President Roosevelt showing Secretary of the Interior, Harold Ickes a drawing for a "New Deal Plan for Enlarged Supreme Court" featuring the existing court building flanked by two enormous wings. Ickes headed the Public Works Administration which mounted a huge public building program during the Depression. The cartoonist pokes fun at Roosevelt's proposal to add new justices to the Supreme Court which was blocking the president's New Deal programs. |
