WASHINGTON, D. C, March 3.
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.

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

LEAD REBELLION;
EX-PREMIER AIDS
ATHENS. Mar. 3. (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.

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

NEW YORK, Mar. 2. (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. We were so careful."

HONEYMOON ENDS;
ROOSEVELT FACES
CONGRESS REVOLT
Rep. Fish Flays 'New Deal'
in Radio Talk for Broken
Promises Solons Stall
and Nothing Done.
WASHINGTON. March a. (API
An and of the New Deal "honey
moon" waa foreseen tonight by Rep-
i reaentatlve Fish (Tt N.Y.) on the
eve of Monday's halt-way marlc In
President Roosevelt'a flrat term.
"The administration honeymoon
has cracked up as was inevitable, on
a aeries of broken promtaea and
pledges and on unsound, unworkable
and socialistic experiments," he said
In a radio speech.
"I Indict the democratic adminis
tration on its record for the past
year aa the greatest failure In Ameri
can history. I denounce It for under
mining our free institutions, turning
the constitution Into a scrap of pa
per, and changing our representative
form of govcernment, without the
approval or consent of the American
people. Into an autocratic and dicta
torial form of government.
"I condemn it as having no eco
nomical policy except to pile debt
upon debt by borrowing, more bor
rowing, and atlll more borrowing,
without any thought of balancing the
budget or of the Inevitable day of
reckoning and collapse of credit and
bankruptcy of the government.
"I charge I. with having honey
combed the various departmenta of
the New Deal with radicals, social
lata and near communlsta and con
tributor to communism, and for
having done more to promote class
hatred and clasa antagonism than all
nrcvloua adinlnlatratlona aince tne
founding of the republic."
WASHINGTON, March 2. ( AP)
President Roosevelt faced a congres
sional muddle tonight that many In
the capita: felt would require from
him the aame kind of magnetic lead
ership he displayed when he marched
Into the White House two years ago.
Congress hud completed two months
with virtually, nothing., iwceinpllahed',.
Vital admlnlatratlon measures wert
languishing in committees. Hoatllo
legislative proposals were boldly
pushing forward. A spirit of revolt
was In the air.
The preeldents congressional chlef
talna did little talking publicly, but
privately expressed confidence that
beginning on Monday, when congress
turns into Its third month and the
chief executive begins hla third year,
they could aoon get the legislative
express back on the tracks. '

.March 1. liuite a few of our
writers fire wondering why ..
P. MorgHii is selling his pninf
ings. He is getting more for 'em
than he give. That might be
small possible clue.
Headline in fpers says ha
is "letting his minatures go."
Then I guess he is letting that
midget go.
Oifl von ever sec pictures in
the paper where a fellow had
left his wife for another wo
man t That the wife he left
wasn't better looking than the
new one!
All you read about Washing
ton is, how arc they going to
spend that four billions. There
hasn't been one suggestion as
to where it was to come from.
It must he mnrvelmis just to
belong to some legislative body
and just pick money out nf th
