AND Unlimited Emergency Not Clearly Defined Under U.S. Statutes WASHINGTON, May 29 (P President Roosevelt's proclama tion of an unlimited national emergency an act without known precedent in American history places powers at his disposal to deal with virtually any contingency, legal experts said today. Except for an actual declara tion of war something con gress alone can make Presi dent Roosevelt was represented as having full authority to meet any crisis. Broad Powers His powers, legal experts said, would permit him, for instance, to commandeer or shut down radio stations, to take over util ities to obtain the necessary elec tricity for munitions production, or to compel transportation priority for movement of troops or war materials. In each case, it was noted, however, a specific presidential proclamation would be required. This interpretation did not go unchallenged in some congres sional circles, however. Challenged Senator Taft (R-Ohio), critic of many administration policies, contended that "the declaration of an unlimited emergency has no legal effect whatever. The president has no statutory or constitutional authority to de clare such an emergency. His proclamation gives him no pow er he did not have a month ago." Taft apparently referred to the limited emergency" which Mr. Roosevelt proclaimed in 1939. Government legal experts said that no clearcut distinction ex isted between a "limited" and "unlimited emergency, and hence technically the president might Invoke his full powers in either case. In their opinion the president's purpose in pro claiming an unlimited emerg ency was to bring home to the people a realization of the full gravity of the hour. Not Understood ""J" -"'. , "dmmlstf ?" ,oe n some policies, said "I think the ?der oud have explained to the people just what powers he expected to exercise under his unlimited declaration be cause those powers were granted under the stress of war in 1917 and very few people, including most members of congress, un derstand them." Although Shipstead referred to 1917, it was not known whether the president acted un der the authority of any specific statute. Not Defined In this connection, however. Associate Justice Murphy, when attorney general in 1939, in formed congress in an opinion that "the executive has powers not enumerated in the statutes powers derived not from statu tory grants but from the consti tution. . a universally recognized j mat me constitutional duties of the executive carry with them the constitutional powers neces sary for their proper perform ance, inese constitutional Dow ers have never been specifically defined, and in fact cannot be since their extent and limitations are largely dependent upon con ditions and circumstances. in a measure this is true wnn respect to most of the pow ers of the executive, both con stitutional and statutory. The right to take specific action might not exist under one state of facts, while under another it might be the absolute duty of me executive to take such ac tion." When Mr. Roosevelt was in augurated for his first term he proclaimed a national emergency and invoked his extraordinary powers in those financially criti cal moments to close the coun try's banks. Among the things which legal experts say Mr. Roosevelt now has the power to do are the fol lowing: Forbid federal reserve banks to do business excent under treasury regulations. Investigate, regulate or pro hibit transactions in foreign ex change. Place the coast guard under the navy (Mr. Roosevelt already Saturday, May 31 F. R. Hauger Klamath Valley Lbr. Co. Klamath Cabinet Shop Swan Lake Moulding Co. Suburban Lumber Ce. .has transferred part of It to the navy.) Refuse clearance to vessels of a belligerent country which dis criminates against American ves sels or citizens. Empower the federal power commission to require temporary connections for the transmission of electric energy. PRESS WONT BE HIT. EXPERTS SAY WASHINGTON, May 29 (API Government legal experts said Wednesday that although Presi dent Roosevelt s proclamation of a full emergency opened the door to control of radio, there was no provision in law for cen sorship of publications, even in wartime. Some lawyers conceded that the president might affect the transmission of news through the power to suspend or amend rules and regulations under the federal communications act, but that no direct censorship ap peared possible. The president may suspend the FCC rules applicable to transmission of communications by radio or wire upon proclaim ing the existence of "war or a threat or a state of public peril or disaster or other national emergency, or in order to pre serve the neutrality of the United States." He also may demand priority for communications essential to me nauon auring we continu-1 f i -ance of war in which the United i OOSOIine, UOS States is engaged." Government legal authorities would not say whether the same end could be accomplished under the "na tional peril provision, which would permit the president to take over radio stations or their equipment Construction of Class Four Airport At Redmond Starts REDMOND, May 29 VP) Construction of Redmond's $717,000 class 4 airport, the largest under CAA regulations, siarcea nere today under au thorization from President Roosevelt The airport will be the main control point for military planes flying the north-south route east of the Cascades and is ex pected to be central Oregon's principal field for commercial and private craft.
