June 21 fJV An attack by President James Row land Angell on the administration's labor policy and President Roose velt's supreme court bill was in the record today as commencement ac tivities continued on the Yale cam pus. In his final Baccalaureate address yesterday as head of the university. Dr. Angell charged that "the na tional government has appeared as a partisan" in the present labor con flict and asserted the supreme court bill Is a means to abet a "rape of the constitution." He contended that the nation's peace and prosperity Is imperilled and urged that moral, political and spiritual values be salvaged "If de mocracy is to measure up to the compelling needs of the time." Angell 's attack on the adminis tration's policies was made in Wool sey hall where three years ago he conferred an honorary degree upon President Roosevelt and praised his "daring leadership" and "complete devotion to the service of the na tion." The fact distinguishing the pres ent labor crisis "from any we have ever known before" he said is that "the national government has ap peared as a partisan In the con flict." adding: "The secretary of labor Is quoted as not knowing whether a sit-down strike is legal or not, although there is hardly any older doctrine In our common law than that affecting the right of possession of property. "The executive is charged with having encouraged much of the ex isting disorder, first by silence in the face of gross violation of law, and destruction of property by la bor and then by criticism of em ployers for failing to sign contracts with labor groups whose good faith they regard as open to question." Angell contended that the presi dent has promoted "legislation which, If finally enacted, appears to imply the further and complete abdication of the congress, already more than once put into the stulti fying position of mere puppets of the executive."
