ifflH AIDING FASCISTS pTi
jg IS ACCUSATION jgl
By Paul Mnllon
, (Copyright, 1936, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. Technical
decisions by the supreme court late
ly seemed to favor the New Deal. They
are being commonly Interpreted as an
Indication that
the Justices are
In a softer frame
of mind follow
ing their sum
mer rest. That,
of course. Is bosh.
The decisions
do not convey a
hint as to the
real constitu
tional opinion of
the court.
What the ac
tivity of the
court does indi
cate, however, la that the Justices
are sensitive on the subject of
politics and Intend to avoid Involve
ment In political publicity before
the election.
For example, In open court, Chief
Justice Hughes told a Boston lawyer
ho could file papers challenging the
constitutionality of the federal social
security act.
About four hours later, the chief
Justice took the very unusual step of
sending down word to the cleric, for
announcement to the press, that the
papers would not be received.
The court will probably decide
Monday to test the constitutionality
of the Wagner labor act, but both
sides have requested It. No other
Important decisions will be made.
The court will then recess until
after election.
Hero are at least nine voters de
termined to take nc part In the cam
paign.
Russia's persistent threats to re
nounce the non-intervention' agree
ment and help the Spanish loyalist
has caused plenty of headline excite
ment, but not much of any other
kind.
The fact Is no one cares what the
Reds do.
The Spanish loyalists have been
beyond help for weeks. All the gold
In Russia could not save them now.
What Russia Is trying to do is to
embarrass her fascist adversaries and
advertise her own virtues, or what
passes for virtue In International
politics. She has only been sending
money secretly to one side In Spain
while she fascist countries have been
sending planes to the other side.
Diplomatic authorities here have
no information. Inside or otherwise,
on the personal plans of the King of
England. Furthermore, they have not
' been sufficiently Interested to Inquire
from their London connections- They
rightly think It Is none of their ousl
ness. The only grave International ques
tion Involved la whether divorcees will
now be received at court. They have
been barred for years. Authorities
hers hope the bar will continue.
They have enough work and trouble
now. arranging for the receptions of
debutante daughters of large com
palgn contributors. If the King lets
divorcees In, the American embassy at
r London wilt probably have to drop
diplomacy entirely and turn Itself In
to a society bureau.
The senatorial campaign Investiga
tion which never got started ap
parently la now off until after elec
tion. At lesst Chairman Lonergan
announced his departure for home to
campaign. He is not up for re-election,
but is going to campaign in

TO BEJNGREASED
Regional Foresters Told To
Survey Regions For Pos
sible Tract Selections
Rogue Area Plan Waits.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 33. (AP)
The government Is acting to preserve
the remnant of a last vanishing
frontier. i
C. M, Granger, assistant chief of :
the forest service, said today ten re
gional foresters have been asked to
survey their regions with a view to
selecting tracts of not leas than 100,
000 acres to be set aside as "primitive
areas" within the national forests.
Suggestions have already begun to
arrive, and the service hopes that Its
present total of more than 6.000,000
scree of primitive area may soon be
greatly augmented.
Started In 1928
Establishment of such areas began
in 1028, and there are now more than
a dozen tract in this classification.
The largest is In Montana and Idaho,
embracing 1,870,000 acres.
The forest service says It seeks to
accomplish three main objectives
with Its primitive areas watershed
protection, timber production and
primitive types of recreation.
To qualify aa a primitive area a
legion must not be marred by . a
single road, Fire trails, portage ttalls
and game trails only are permitted.
Few other improvements are allowed
except watch towers for fire protec
tion. Telephone lines, except to these
towers, are taboo, . Trail signs are
banned. '

WHOLESALE DEATH

WATERVILLK, Wash., Oct. 23.
(AP) Fear of the dread anthrax
spread through the sheep camps of
the north central Washington region
today while smoldering embers mark

casses were burned throughout the
night.
Sheriff Harry Smith said State
Veterinary Phllpatrlck ordered the
carcaasea burned after a great pit
had been dug with horses for a mass
burial. Phllpatrlck ordered the cre
mation after he came here yesterday
and decided anthrax, rather than poi
son weeds, caused the sheep to drop
like applea In the orchard where they
grazed .
Smith said the veterinary took car
caasea to Washington State college
last night for a further analysis by
veterlnarle. He awaited word today
on the outcome.
"If the college experts agree that It
is anthrax," Sheriff Smith said, "we
will burn the pelts which were strip

mainlng 100 or more sheep of the
Maple 4c Knox flock also will be con

doctor's orders Landon refrained from
making rear platform talks yesterday.
The Kansan spoke !n the coliseum
after an Introduction by William H.

cratic governor of Oklahoma.
Pausing here nearly four hours on
his final trans-continental campaign

above party name."
Landon said President Roosevelt

Tha Roosevelt administration, . tho
governor continued, Is "desperately
