The lickings which the New Dealers have beeu taking lately from the lower court have caused re mark ably little pain on the In side here. The New Deal lawyer are maintaining a Don ch a lance which certainly suggests that they have boards approprl ately placed some where. They cannot af ford to say so out loud, but PAUL MALLUN thsy really be lieve that five members of the au preme court can be counted on to support them whenever they put up a reanonably respectable case For this reason, they fear not the reversal suffered by the Tennessee valley authority In the Qrubb de cision. They believe the lower court will be reversed. About the NRA adversities (Weir-1 ton, Coal.) they are not so sure. The truth is the best legal authorities have differed for some time about ap plication of the NRA to businesses which are not in Intcr-state com merce. You may recall that the D. of J. ducked the Welrton prosecution more or less openly for months untn organized labor brought such pres sure as to force It to prosecute. What makes the New Dealers so certain that the court will uphold them whrnever they give It a leg to stand on Is a hidden paragraph In its decision nearly, year ago In the Minnesota cane. The language then employed by the court was: "Neither property nor contract rights are absolute; for government cannot exist If the citizen may. at will, use his property to the detri ment of his fellows, or exercise his freedom of contract to work them harm. Equally fundamental with the private right Is that of the public to regulate It, In the common interest." That sounds like an excerpt from )a Roosevelt speech, but the court said It last March. What the New Deal thinks about the constitution was disclosed recent ly In a speech privately delivered be fore a. local club of attorneys by the New Deal coordinator. Donald Rtch berg. :To record of the talk exist A congressman tried to get a copy from Mr.Richbergs office and found the remarks had not been officially set down. It would be accurate to say, how ever, that Rlchberg wanted the pre amble of the constitution and the declaration of Independence Incorpor ated In that document In a Judicial way. H; protested against narrow legal Interpretations. He wanted the government to move unrestrained by legal technicalities to produce the greater good lor the greater number. One line ran something like this: "A government must fulfill the obli gation not only to protect its cltl- rers from fire, flood, pestilence, do mestic violence and foreign aggres sion, but also from economic forces equally destructive and Intolerable Absurd rumors now are going around, supgestlntr that President Roosevelt would have ap?palcd any adverse gold decision to the higher As a matter of fact, one paragraph of a statement which had been pre - pared in advance, to be Issued gold decision went against htm, as follows: "The right of the supreme court to declare acts of congress unconstitu tional Is not found in the constitu tion. But without this right, those who make the laws would also pass on them, so that nothing could ever be found constitutional. Therefore It fcems an Inherent function of a wit ten constitution that somebody, sep arate from the legal body, shall have the right to review their sets." In other words, the New Deal was prepared In that statement, which now may never be published, to up hold the supreme court even If the court did not uphold the New Deal. The White House has been very secretive about what It would have done had the decision gone the other way. It makes no difference now. but a five-hour program had been plan ned almost minute by minute to off set any 111 effects of an adverse de cision. A flash statement would have been Usued at on-'e. It contained two psragraphs and was addressed prim arily to the financial markets, assur Ing them there was no csuse for alarm. An executive order was pre pared and accompanied by a state ment to the press. a was also a mes sage to congress and the draft of a bill. A time schedule had been worked out so this bill would haie become a law within five hours after the decision was announced. Continued on Page Pour.)

SALEM, Ore., March 3. (AP) Oregon' unemployment relief pro gram will be resumed Monday. Receipt late today of word that federal money la the amount of more than a million dollars would be forthcoming Immediately assured con tinuation of relief work. Had not the appropriation been made more than 30,000 men would have been out of emergency work next week. It was announced through the gov ernor's office. Receipt of the telegram announc ing the allocation of these funds followed notice to the federal gov ernment today by Governor Martlu that tbe legislature had passed the bill setting aside B4.500.000 of antici pated revenues for the next two years from sales of liquor In the stat. Two other measures, one appro priating from the general fund al. 000.000 for unemployables, to be matched by the counties and the federal government to appropriate the equivalent of aa.000,000 and onfi to appropriate $1,000,000,000 old age pension funds under the same con sideration, were introduced In the house today. They are all a part of Oovernor Martin's relief program. While It was predicted the legisla ture would be In session but one week longer, this being the 48th day. the house late today saw Introduced two administration measures, one calling for the creation of county planning commissions under the state planning board, and the other creat ing flood control districts. The latter measure was declared Hie longest bill that haa been Intro duced during the present session, being 35 pages In length. It wouia create flood control district. No ap propriation la provided In the bill but detailed machinery la set up for the operation of such districts. In an effort to expedite proceed ings in the house, explanations of votes were today limited to 30 sec onds. Also a movement was on root to prevent any further reconsidera tion of bills which have been voted upon, whether approved or defeated. Much of the, time the past week in both houses has been consumed with reconsiderations. Refusing to retrench on Its stand that half of the 1933 legislative lalary reductions be returned to Btate employes, the Joint ways and means committee voted todsy to submit to the attorney general the question of whether or not the governor hsd power under the new budgetary con trol act to arbitrarily rearrange sal aries as he had threatened to do If the legislature does return part of the reductions to state employes. Early In the week the committee had approved the salary restoration measure, as a part return of the cuts from 5 to 30 per cent imposed two years ago by the legislature, but Governor Martin had declared he would oppose the measure through I budgctftry conlr0l bm previou!y iPassd iBABY FILM STARS ALL 'OUTSIDERS' HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Mar. 2.

(AP) Former Premier Sleutherlos Venizelos. "grand old man" of Greek politics, threw his strength behind a swiftly executed revolt tonight as darkness brought a halt to a running battle between five rebel warships and the loyal air force, Venizelos, who has been living In retirement In his native Crete since his unsuccessful attempt to defeat Premier P. Tsaldarls at the polls, de clared himself In support of the reb els In a violent and antl-government speech at Cret. The five bomb-scarred warships were steaming down the Aegean to night toward that Island, presumably to pick up Venizelos. A government demand for surren der cltmaxed the day of fighting by sea and air. Tsaldarls warned that unless the rebels capitulated they would be subjected to an intense bombardment tomorrow. Three bombing planes were pre pared for a takeoff at dawn armed with 200-pound bombs. Fortresses at Crete were ordered to open fire on the warships If they showed up there. Three changes In the cabinet were announced following the resignation of the minister of the navy. Govern ment troops were poured into Athens and Greece was under martial law. The possibility of revolt In Crete, despite the apparent failure of the uprising last night In the Athens area, caused alarm In government quarters. A request for time to consider an offer of mediation waa the last word from the nfbel warships. There was no estimate of the dead and wound ed. The commander of airplanes which attacked the fleet at sea issued a re- port claiming two direct hits were northern coast of Spain today, caus made on the warship Averoff and ing heavy damage to shipping and that a destroyer apparently was dls- j property along the shore. The fishing abled and was being towed by the : steamer B;durla. unreported since Averoff. ;:PAY BOOST POWER 8AI.EM.

SERA WORKERS ONiWHERE IS GREATERjFUGITIVE KANSAS JOB M0NDAYW0RD;;P0RTI0N RANSOM FUND SJPROVIDEDjGOIN LINDY PAIO Valley Projects to Continue Is Assured, and Lay-Off Orders Rescinded Late Saturday 850 Effected SERA officials announced last night that relief workers In Jackson county may return to work Monday, despite notification that relief pro jects would be discontinued. Funds for SERA work In this vicinity were aulhorzled by wire late Saturday, making possible a continuance of work here without a' break. The SERA administration In Med ford has made every possible effort, it was pointed out, to keep projects In operation, despite the fact that in many counties of the state picks and shovels were being abandoned and direct relief discontinued. Only when the budget for March failed to arrive Saturday morning did local officials despair, notifying workmen that they would be unable to go to work Mon day. Soon after the notifications were sent out, however, the allowance for the first half of March waa author ised. Officials were kept busy Satur day afternoon getting word through the valley that the projects will keep going. The fact that local operations are always suspended Fridays and Saturdays because of a work week comprising four hour daya. will probably make possible the continu ance of work without Interruption. The budget allowance that waa re ceived Is sufficient until March J. officials said, when another appro prlatlon Is expected. The settlement of this relief prob lem makes It possible for approxi mately 850 relief workers to continue enjoying the benefit of work relief project in the county, in addition. aso direct relief cases will be main talned. ' About bO SERA projects are now active. In Jackson county, with a pay oil of approximately $5000 per week. CONDITION AGED JUSTICE ALARMS WASHINGTON, Mar.

(AP) The ransom phase of the Lindbergh case remains tonight, three years and one day after the actual kidnaping of the child, only "two-fifths solved." Of the IfiO .000 paid by Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh to a ransom collector In a Bronx cemetary April 2. 1932, only 119,716 has been ac counted for. Somewhere either In a hidden place, in actual circulation still, or perhaps destroyed by tbe treasury department there is 130,285 of the currency which Dr. John F. Condon, the Lindbergh intermediary, handed over ad -th, ransom collector. Where Is It? Some authorities who have been active In tbe investigation of tbe crime of the Sourland hills believe Bruno Richard Hauptmann, under death sentence for the murder, has the money in a hidden place. Others believe Hauptmann succeed ed despite the fact that tbe num bers on each bill were listed and known to all banking houses In putting it Into circulation. One official of the federal reserve bank, however, used tonight the word "impossible" aa regards a theory that the ransom bills could have been passed through the banks un recognized to be flns'ly destroyed or stored In the old money vaults of the United States treasury depart ment. The Internal revenue department, on the other band, holds that much if not all of the 130.283 which la still unaccounted for must have passed through the federal reserve banks and been finally destroyed. "Either this," observed Hugh Mac Qulllan, special agent In charge of the New York division of the Internal revenue department, "or the bills are still In circulation. "There are probably quite a few of the bills still being used or stored away by the public, but a large part of It must have slipped through the banks Into the treasury department, An official of the federal reserve bank in New York, who haa worked on identification of the Lindbergh ransom money, said that either of these possibilities would be "out of the question." "There la one possibility of the money getting past us," he said, "and that Is very remote. "During the two weeks following the payment of the ransom, things were In such a mess, what with checking the numbers serially and arranging pamphlets publishing the the numbers, money might have got by us. "But following thst period, not a single bill could have gone through the federal reserve bank In New York and according to what other banks report, equal vigilance was exercibcd elsewhere." He said that even during the huge turnover occasioned by the presl dent's sold order In May, 1033. It "would have been Impossible for one of the bills to have escaped our at tention.
