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

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

(AP) Kelly Petlllo, hard-driving
Los Angeles Italian, won the 500-mUe
automobile race over the bumpy two-and-a-half
mile brick track at the
Indianapolis motor speedway today.
A record crowd of 155,000 witnessed
his triumph.
Wilbur Shaw, Indianapolis, finished
second, two and a half miles back.
Petlllo drove the entire distance
without relief and made only two
stops for fuel, and to change tires.
Wild Bill Cummings of Indianapo
lis, winner of the 1934 race, finished
third. He waa about five miles be
hind the winner.
Petlllo drove the 500 miles In
4:36:4.00 to average 106.240 miles an
hour, breaking the track record for
the distance. Petlllo accomplished
this record breaking despite the fact
the race was slowed up for 33 miles,
during the last 50 miles, due to a
drizzling rain.
With less than 30 miles to go. the
race waa resumed at full speed when
the drizzle ceased. The green flag
was waved at the drivers as they
dashed by the referee's stand, order
ing them to step on the gas again.
At 475 miles Petlllo clung to the
lead. He covered the distance In
4:28:12.00 to average 106.264, still a
new track record. Shaw waa second,
two and a half miles behind, with
Cummings third, five miles In the
rear.

Hurray for the old constitu
tion. Nobody wants to see that
old lady lfd astray, but
wouldn't this amendment to
her be helpful? "When con
fcrcss passes a law, or a presi
dent exceeds his authority,
have some person notify the
supreme court what has hap
pened and net them to examine
that medicine and see if it's
poison before it's given to the
patients and not at the funeral.
This amendment would make
the supreme court a preventive
and not an autopsy jury.
