Copyright, 1937, by Paul Mallon.
WASHINGTON, April 17 President
Roosevelt 1 said to have a new anal
ogy for his supreme court problem.
Once, long ago, he likened his early
iffwNew Deal situation
to the problem of
football team.
iwlth himself as
quarterback, call-
ling the signals.
Now he Is thlnk
ilng about his 6 to
1 I supreme court
Jllne-up In terms of
Isolf.
"I feel." he said.
In substance, to ft
I'aul Mallmi friend, "like a gol
fer starting out fresh on a nine hole
course, four down."
It will sound absurd now, but the
.not nnflrmed those three all-pow
erful members of the national labor
relations board wunoui a iimiiiis ui
debate.
Doubt It If you will, but there la
not a detectable scrap of evidence In
the committee or congressional rec
ords as to what kind of men compose
this new labor aupreme court. Or at
any rate there la only one Inconse
quential scrap. It Is a letter from
someone protesting that one of the
spolntees owed something over $400
and declined to pay It. but the lawyer
for the appointee pointed out that
the court had ruled out the bill on
the statute of limitations. If there
la anything else, the senate clerks
who handled the nominations have
been unsble to find It.
The answer to this phenomenon Is
that few senators really thought the
board was constitutional or would
ever be Important. No one paid any
attention to the appointments when
they were confirmed In August, 1935.
The general supposition was the ap
pointees would serve until the court
kicked out the Wagner Act. Even
clerks declined to take Jobs with the
board or sought transfer because po
sitions there were considered Inse
cure. It Is now the board's turn to laugh.
Jobs there sre not only secure, but
the toard has been given greater
power under the recent court decision
than most of the other boards In
Washington.
It Is even difficult now to ascertain
who was behind the appointments
and who recommended them. Senator
Joe Guffey. maestro of Pennsylvania
politics. Is supposed to be the backer
of Board Chairman Madden, a former
University of Pittsburgh law profes
sor. Mr. Guffey slso Is being credited
with the second Pennsylvania ap
pointee on the board. Donald Wake
field Smith, a, former Homestead ateel
worker whoBe father Is an assistant
superintendent In the mills. The
third board man, Edwin S. Smith, a
Harvard man from Brookllne. Mass..
Is attributed to Senr,or Walsh of
Massachusetts.
It Is clear, however, that Senators
Guffey and Walsh were Just the front
men who got clearance papers for th
appointees In the senste.
Labor Secretary Perkins Is supposed
to have dug tip the board men with
the help chiefly of her Wyzanskl
group In the labor depertment and
Senator Wagner. Edward A. Pllene.
the Boston department store enthusl
ast for the co-operative movement,
probably first suggested Edwin Smith,
who formerly was a personnel man
ager In the Fllene store. Smith also
Is classified In the Frankfurter group
It seems probable also that D. W.
Smith was put forward originally by
Attorney Oeneral Maglottt of Penn
sylvania, a former Republican who
trains with the Esrle crowd now
There la no question that the board
Is thoroughly lsbor-consctous. As
between; the Green snd Lewis factions
t'lere 111 evidence that It has formerly
been cloeer to Lewis thsn to Green,
but not obviously so.
Labor lesders generally consider It
"very f air": employers csil u packed
for isi)'-or.'
MM Rowevelt's surprising lack of
enthusiasm after hla aupreme court
victory la said to have iwn derived,
nt le at In part, from the attitude of
hit two unofficial attorneys general,
Mr. potaen and Mr. Corcoran. Nearly
evenf legal development around the
Whltfe House Is generally attributed
to them, and about 90 per rent of
the attributions seem to be right.

IN '38' FOR MARTIN
OR STE1WER POST
News Broken To Young
Democrats War Declar
ed On 'Mugwump Repub
licans' On Federal Jobs.
NORTH BEND. April I7. API
Allan Greenwood, young Oswego
aviator, was elected president of the
Oregon Young Democratic clubs by
a vote of 31 to 19 over A. Ray
Martin of Eugene. The election was
a triumph for Governor Martin's
supporters. The governor was rep
resented at the convention by W.
L. Gosslln, his executive secretary.
C. C. Carlson, retiring president,
did not seek re-election. Waiter
Too-se, 3d. Oswego, withdrew in
favor of Martin.
The convention will meet In Pen
rtiftnn in 1938. That cltv was i with
out opposition for the meeting.
NORTH BEND, April 17. (API-
Young Democrat attending the state
convention here tonight had an
answer to the question "What will
Willis E. Mahoney do In next year's
elections" In the tacit statement by
the Klamath Falls man that he
would be a candidate "for ft major
office" In 1938.
The governorship and senatorsnip
are the only major offices to be re
filled, which narrowed his . choice
to those two.
Gov. Charles H. Martin has not
definitely announced yet whether he
will seek re-election. Senator Fred
rick W. Stelwer, keynoter of the last
Republican national convention. Is
expected to seek another term In
congress.
Mahoney launched- his campaign
openly by blasting "mugwump Re
publican" office holders under Dem
ocratic administrations and by mak
ing flaming pro-labor speech.
"The WPA and PWA and other
alphabetical orgftniza'ons are eatur
ated with these mugwump Rcpub-
Ucans." Mahoney said, "put there
by mugwump politicians who think
that Is the way to win Republican
votes.
"But I can assure you that after
the next election there will be no
mugwump Republicans holding pol
itical office In Oregon."
In discussing Industrial conflicts.
he hailed the Wagner labor act
which guarantees rights of collec
tive bargalnln as a "new magna
charta for labor."
The Klamath Falls Democrat said
the supreme court decision uphold'
lng the law was "the greatest vic
tory for the masses since the sign
ing of the declaration of inaepena-
ence. He said workers used sit-down
strikes "only In protest against re
peated violations of Industrial lib
erties -which congress has recognized
and branded antl-unlon legal man
euvers of employers as "organized
and calculated and cold-blooded sit-
down against feeral law. '
BRAND ANALYZES
PRESIDENT PLAN
T
The real Issue Involved In Presi
dent Roosevelt's supreme court pro
gram is this: Shall the constitution
of the United States as construed be
changed so that legislation now un
constitutional ray become constitu
tional? Judge James T. Brand of Marsh
field, member of the board of gov
emora of the Oregon State Bar, so
defined the Issue in an analysis of
the president's proposals at a din
ner-meetlng of attorneys in the Ho
tel Medford last night.
The state bar governors and several
visiting attorneys were dinner guests
of the Southern Oregon Bar. The en-
tire board rame to Medford for Its
April meeting and transacts routine
business at sessions yesterday In the
federal courtroom.
In presenting Judge Brand, A. A
Smith of Baker, president of the Ore
on State Bar, pointed out that a ref
erendum vote showed the state bar
to be 4'j to 1 against the president's
court program. He said that the Ore
gon state bar Is non-partisan and hs
furnished speakers on both aides of
the qtiestton but the board hd con
cluded that because of the over
whelming vote sirens should be placed
on opposition to the projected court
Charge.
Judge Brand stated t!-at the presi
dent's proposal was so fundamental
that it merited calm and dlspawlon
at study before a conclusion should
be ventured thereon.
He then took up the argument
presented by President Roosevelt in
support of h-.a ourt proirram find ot

These landa originally comprising
over two million acres, were granted
to the railroad company to assist In

road was required to sell the lands to
actual settlers In tracts of not over

Governor Now Willing To
Restore It If Senator
Aggrieved Farley
Grilled,
. TOPEKA. Kan., April 17. (UP)
Qoveraor Walter A. Huxmaa said to
night that "if anyone feels aggrieved,"
he would gladly restore remarks by
Sens tor Burton IC. Wheeler, D., Mon
tana, which were deleted from the
current edition of the March ot Time
news reel.
The speech by Senator Wheelar,
whtel, was deleted by the state board
of censors, concerned Wheeler's op
position to President Roosevelt's pro
posal for reorganization of the Judl-
clarym -a. 4 ...- .". : ..M.-
Huxman said he had not author
ized Miss Maa Clausen, chairman of
the board, to delete the speech; She
said she ordered the deletion "be
cause the senator's remarks were par
tisan and biased."
"I am too busy with Kansas af
fairs to Indulge In argument with
Senator Wheeler," Huxman said.
"However, if anyone feel their consti
tutional rights have been Invaded
and wish to make a personal com
plaint to me I will see that the de
leted part of the film la restored."
Huxman said he learned what the
deleted remarks were after the reel
was cut but he evaded answering a
question as to whether he thought
the deletion was Justified.
"I think one should know what the
rules of Kansas censorship are and
how they are applied before you can
say the act was unjustified," the gov
ernor explained.
In the speech, Senator Wheeler
said:
"You can say that the privilege of
appointing postmasters wilt not be
accorded to me. You can say that
I'U get no more project for my state.
You can say what you please but I
say to you and to Mr. Farley ( Postmaster-General
James A. Farley), to
everybody else, that I will vote
against this proposition because It
is morally wrong: It Is morally un
sound; It ts a dangerous proceed
ing." DETROIT. April 17. (UP) Offic

Local U. A. W, A. officials, claim
ing "'thousands of members" among
the Ford workers, reported they
were ready to begin the "final drive"
as soon as the executive board ap
proves the plans.
The executive board will meet In
the offices of John L. Lewis' Untted

There was no definite Indication
when Ford might institute the wage

Brother 10, Elusive
Away From Home Ten
Days And Defy Capture.
Edward Harris. 14, and hts brother
Roy, 10, Dark Hollow district youths
who for the past ten days have been
enacting a Juvenile Tares n role,
would.be back in school by next
Monday, the sheriffs office predicted
last night.
Tbe lada left their home Wednes
day, April 7, snd have been away
since. Sheriff 8yd I. Brown suspects
they are receiving food and shelter
from "sympathetic neighbors."
Deputy Sheriff Herb Moore made
the prediction, and based It upon
the belief that the lada "have had
enough of the Tartan stuff.'
State police said they bait neen
officially notified of the adventures
of the ' brothers, but had taken no
action.
Deputy Moore has mad several ef
forts to round up the two feoys.
The two youths have also defied
efforts of their step-father, Joseph
Schmeleer, and two older brothers,
to induce them to return home.
. The authorities attribute "ucaat-
isfactory home condition and a dis
like for school," as the cause of the
boya' actions. -
Sheriff Brown, said that "It would
.take. A hundred . posaemen to catch
the boys." owing to the brushy na
ture of the country and their knowl
edge of it. The area borders on a
farm area abounding In dsirtei, hen
coops and orchards. , ... . .
Sheriff Syd I. Brown aald no effort
would be', made to return the lads
to home and studies, .
"We will Just bide our time and
sneak up on them when they are
not looking." the sheriff said.
.The two boys "run 'like deer" at
the approach of any person. They
live with their mother, a step-father
and two brothers, In a humble shuck
beyond the Oammlll and Powell or
chards In the Dark Hollow section.
Deputy Herb Moore said the roof of
the house was leaking when he call
ed the first of last week.
Sheriff Brown- said the expense of
organising a posse to return the boys
was not Justified, and further stated
that members of the family did not
seem particularly concerned over
their absence.
