WASHINGTON, May 30. A lobby ist wired his manufacturing client alter I11B iika decision, ikbi dead. Oo ahead. This slightly exaggerated first hand opinion was not contlned to the public state ments you have been seeing. It wrh shared pri vately by the foremost new dealers. They were not only dismayed but thought all w i n t confusion PAlt MALLU.N Mn wlriennrefld RtllOTIE them than at any time since the ban holiday. What hurt moat was not the par ticular legal restraints Imposed on them by the court. You can get a hundred various Interpretations as to precisely what these will turn out to be. Every lawyer has a different Idea, and there are at least 600 lawvers In the new deal. The real core of their our appU was the fact that the court decided the national emergency waa over. Its decision did not say this spe cifically, but everyone knew It was the basis of the court reasoning. The fact was particularly well known to congressional oppositionists who have been somewhat under the thumb of new dealers because of emergency conditions. It was also evident to business attornevs who foresaw the possibility of suite against every phase of new deal activity. Consequently, no matter what the decision means In law. It means to political insiders that the diminish ing psychological advantage of emer gency 'prestige enjoyed by the new dealers will no longer be effective. That much of the new deal Is dead, no matter what evolves from the reformation after the court de cision. Most of the Roosevelt associates sr. inclined to blame It all on Don ald Rlchberg. An Influential young liberal lawyer In the new deal was going around town afterward, call ing Mr. Rlchberg several things which will not be found In law books. It la true that many new deal lawvers originally questioned Rlch berg. selection of the poultry case a. a test. Some wanted to try the Belcher lumber case Instead. The amartest ones wanted to avoid any test case at .11. as long as poaalble. Shrewd Felix Frankfurter Is said to be one of these. The secret of why Rlchberg chose the poultry case waa that he dis covered the aupreme court already had ruled that the poultry business was in Interstate commerce. He was not prepared for the distinction drawn by the decision; namely that after poultry arrives In a city. " cease, to be directly In Interstate commerce. th The truth, of course. Is that the .weeping nature of the decision shows the government would have ?o,t. no matter, what NRA case It presented to the court.
