WW JVJ M mum EM ' .1 JUD LI D M0ys I By PAUL MALLOX (Copyright. 1936. by Paul Mallon.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 The south ern Democratic leaders In congreas winked and patted each other on the back when President Roosevelt sent ud that message urging repeal of the Bank, head act, etc. To them it meant an assur ance that the ft president Is giv ing up any Idea of contesting the supreme court decision, and. In fact. Is cutting his cloth to fit court measure ments of the con stitution. PAUL MALLON They have been much In the dark about White House policy lately. It Is probably Just as well that the leaders have not yet found out that the Justice department Is working on a law to curb federal court Jurisdic tion over taxes. No one Is supposed to know It yet. but the law la designed to get those disputed processing taxes back Into the government treasury, also to curb the Injunctive processes of the court In tax caaea, Those who are better Informed than the congressional leaders say this Is the full extent of the planned new deal action against the court at this time. It may or may not be recom mended officially. The Justice de partment may slip It to a congress man unofficially and let him cham pion it op the floor. That has been done before. The mutual misunderstanding be tween Mr. Roosevelt and the photog raphers was not based entirely on that recent picture portraying him In the last throes of despair over the farm problem. It started when a smart young pho tographer took a scries of candid cam era sketches of the president some mouths ago and sold them to Time magazine for 75C. These showed Mr. Roosevelt expressing every emo tion from A to X. omitting only Y and Z. The White House was sore, but could say nothing. Time sent the same sharp-eyed pho tographer down to Warm Springs on the last trip. The White House hclp- iuntinued on Page Pour.) Bl- F WASHINGTON. Feb. .
