Vandenberg urged "Jefferson

A unanimous supreme court, he
declared, "vindicated the consti

"business commenced to boom."
Hut Senator Norris (H., Neb.),
assailed the court's decision scrap
ping AAA, Baying "it cannot stand
if our country is to live and pros

Ihe court s power.
Like Hoover, Knox attacked ad

FUNERAL DIRECTOR
Hoover said:
"No progressive mind will feel
that the constitution shall not bo
changed to meet the needs of
changing national life."
In enlarging on his topic, "the
confused state of the union," the
titular head of the republican party
churned that "the outstanding state
of the union at this hour Is a
slate of confusion. Confusion )n
thought, confusion in gvernment,
confusion In eeonomic life and eon
fusion in ideals. Few nulional
problems havo been solved."
Inflation Feared
Referring again to President
Roosevelt's address. Hoover said:
"He (the president 1 says 'the
only thing we have to fear is fear.
. . . Just so. It was the supreme
court decisions crashing through
New Meal tyrannies which brought
a gleam of confidence from the
fears that had .retarded recovery.
The guiding spirit of the alphabet
has not been love. It has been
rear."
The former president imrticular
ly emphasized his opposition to in
flation, declaring:
"The explosive forces of Infla
tion are already being generated.
.', . The American people have a
right to know and to know now
what steps the president proposes
to clean up this budget and money
confusion. Unless this confusion
can be quickly dissolved it will leud
In one of the greatest tragedies of
ull humanity Inflation."
Commenting on the relief pro
gram he declared:
"Cnder that guise (relief) great
sociological experiments have been
undertaken ... It has impaired
self-reliance and morals both In in
dividuals and local government.
The poison of politics is mixed in
the bread of the helpless."
Millions Need Work
Hoover said "we have started on
the road to recovery . . . Hut it Is
a confused recovery. .We still have
2i),ntHMM)U people on relief after
three years."
He referred to the NKA and AAA
as "Towers of Mabel," commented
that "the decimal point (in the na
tion's deficit) . . . has moved stead
ily to the left" and declared that
" . . . the currency has its founda
