On the outer rim of the Inner circle are several Influential new deal lawyer currently mum bling behind their hajn d s against President Roosevelt's sweeping concep tion of the su preme court de clsion. They blame It on Mr. Rlchberg. They say he Is act ing aa personal attorney - general to the president in this matter. PA I I MAl.LO.N that he selected the lost case and now feels all Is lost. What they want to do la to act as If nothing had happened, give the court decision the narrowest possible legal interpretation, and push on. They object to having the whole new deal throw into a con stitutional fight. These assertions are not exactly treasonous. The grumblers arc mere ly trying to get to the presidential ear. When they do they will find that Mr. Roosevelt fancies himself as being something of & lawyer, that ho made this decision largely himself, and intends to stick to it if he can get sufficient public opin ion behind him. What the lawyers do not realize Is that there la more than law In volved In the issue. Mr. Roosevelt la turning the fight from the new deal Itself to the right to have new deal. One of the justices of the su preme court has confided to a friend that there waa never any important difference of NR.A opinion among his associates from the start. They were unanimous in their viewpoint from the beginning of their dis cussion in chambers. There is nothing In the story now going around on the Inside here that a majority of the court had great difficulty persuading the minority to Join with it, in order to avoid a split decision on such an Important Issue. The fact Is the court spent leas time composing its opinion in this case (five weeks) than it ordinarily does on important cases (average time six weeks). The time element alone la suf ficient proof that there could not possibly have been any Important disagreement among the Justices. The triumphal re-entry of Gen eral Johnson Into Washington was not aa triumphal as advertised. It appears that the White House heard about it private Invitation to the general from newspapermen almost aa soon as the general re ceived it. Apparently there is a leak In the generals organization. His staff is not so huge as to leave any doubt in the mind of the admin istration as to the identity of the person who let out the news. That would not have made much difference had not the impression been conveyed generally that Messrs Roosevelt and Richberg were so con fused they were recalling the gen eral they had exiled in order to get straightened out. This press inter pretation was too much for the White House. It Immediately made the point clear that the general waa one of dozens of persons called into consultation. One new deal lawyer has already been quietly dropped by the NRA because he gave out a proposed substitute NRA bill.
