T ? * ? n ^-s- ??? ~ - [News lie view ot Current Events the World Over Supreme Court Kills NRA and Farm Mortgage Mora torium Act?New Dealers, Congress and Business Uncertain About Future Action. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ? Western Newspaper Union. THREE unanimous decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States shook the New Deal to Its very foun dations. In the first and most lm ?nmni portant, read by Chief Justice Hughes, the heart was cut out of the NRA, for the court ruled that the entire code structure of the act was invalid, the code making provi sions being an uncon stitutional delegation by congress of its au thority to legislate to nnrcnns nnt onnnPftPd Chief Justice w-|th government's Hughes legislative functions. By the ruling the- exercise of con gressional powers over commerce was definitely restricted to interstate com merce, or to such activities as have a provable direct connection with inter state commerce. The court held that no economic emergency could justify the breaking down of the limitations upon federal authority as prescribed by the Constitution or of those powers reserved to the state through the fail ure of the Constitution to place them elsewhere. Xext in Importance was the decision read by Justice Brandeis, holding un constitutional the Frnzler-I.emke farm mortgage moratorium act This law provided for a five year moratorium in the case of collapse of effor's to scale down a farmer's debts to a figure that would enable him to pay off Ids mort gage. The court held that under the Fifth amendment to the Constitution private property could not be taken without just compensation. There has been no previous instance, the court said, where a mortgage was forced to relinquish property to a mortgagor free of lien unless the debt was paid in full. la the third decision President Roosevelt's dismissal of the late Wil liam E. Humphrey from the federal trade commission was held illegal be cause the President did not remove Jlr. Humphrey for the statutory grounds of Inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, but, as the President stated, because their minds did not meet upon the policies or administration of the commission. The court held that trade commission ers' terms are fixed by law. T-?:TT.-1,T- - ,1 Iiiuxm nas cuiiaiciuatiuu quu vu" fusion among the administration forces in Washington, and no one could say immediately Just how much the New Deal had been damaged or what could be done to repair the damage to its structure. Donald Rlchberg, chair man of the national industrial recov ery board, after a White House con ference, issued a statement saying that "all methods of compulsory enforce ment of the codes will be Immediately suspended." The question of the constitutionality of the Wagner labor disputes bill, passed by the senate, was raised by the NRA decision. The opinion was widely expressed that collective bar gaining now cannot be enforced in any business enterprise by federal statute. In the senate demands were voiced to recommit to the committee on agri culture the amendments strengthening the AAA. Senator W. E. Borah said that the NRA decision clearly raises the question of the validity of much AAA procedure. nrSIXESS was as confused as con gress and the administration after the killing of NRA. Heads of many large employing corporations intimat ed they would not make wage reduc tions or lengthen the work hours just because the way was open for such ac tion, but always there was the qual ifying statement, "It depends on what our competitors do." The big concerns would prefer to maintain the code hours and wages, but the smaller mer chants and manufacturers, who were hardest hit by the code requirements, might depart from them enough to de moralize prices. Among the dozens of national trade associations whose otlicers urged mem bers to maintain wages and otherwise to continue the status quo are those i the automobile manufacturers, auto mobile dealers, chemical Industry, re tall dry goods dealers, cotton manufac- i turers, cement makers, oil industry, wholesale grocers, and grocery chain store distributors. I he liquor business was thrown | *lde open without any federal regula- i tlon except that exerted by the Treas i Lry department In the collection of i Officials of the federal alcohol j < control administration said that the Supreme court's NUA ruling took away from the FACA every iota of control It had over the distilling busi ness. A CTIXG with surprising suddenness, Tithe senate passed the Copeland Tugwell food, drug and cosmetic bill, which had been modified to meet the objections of Senators Clark, Bailey and Vandenberg. Dr. Copeland said he believed It would get through the house without difficulty. The bill greatly increases the scope of the 190C food and drug act, in the definitions of adulterated or misbrand ed articles, and provides penalties of a year in jail or a $1,000 fine for viola tions. Originally, also, the bill provided se vere penalties for publishers and radio broadcasting companies, as well ns ad vertisers, for violations of regulations to be laid down by the Department of Agriculture. This was changed so that no publisher, radio broadcasting com pany, advertising agency, or other me dium for the dissemination of adver tising may be deemed to have violated the "false advertising'' provisions un less they refuse to furnish the name and address of the advertiser. FRANK C. WAI.KKBIS present Job as head of the division of allot ments and Information in connection with the work relief program Is not go imp -riant as had been expected, and proba bly by the ei.d of the year or earlier he will oe able to delegate his duties to others. Then, according to current minors, he will enter the President's cabinet us postmaster general, to succeed Jim Farley Mr. Farley has defi nitaln Hani.lart tr. yn FJwan? tire from the cabinet Walker ?voluntarily. It Is said ?so that he can devote all his time and energy to directing the campaign of Mr. Roosevelt for renouiination and re-election. He expects to remain not only as chairman of the national Dem ocratic committee but also as chair man of the New York state committee. There has been a lot of talk about Mr. Farley's alleged ambition to be gov ernor of New York. Melvin C. Eaton. Republican state chairman, dares him to run for that position. ONLY nine states of the Central West will send delegates to the "Grass Roots" convention of the Re publican party which opens June 10 In Springfield, 111., but the meeting will never theless be rather na tional in scope, for It will be attended by unofficial delegates from other states and by national leaders oi the party. It was be iieved that Harrison E. Spanglcr, national committeeman from luwa, wuuiu uc uiiiue temporary chairman A* M' Hyd# and as such would deliver the key note address. Others on the tenta tive program for speeches are Arthur M. Hyde, former governor of Missouri and secretary of agriculture in the Hoover cabinet, and Edward Hayes of Decatur, 111., former national com mander of the American Legion. The keynote address, according to reports, will take inventory of Ameri can affairs under the Roosevelt New Deal and indicate the trend of the party in opposition. .Mr. Hyde is to talk on the Great Emancipator at the Lincoln tomb in Oak Iiidge cemetery, and Hayes Is expected to deal with the theories of the Republican party on constitutional government ADOLF HITLER has proposed that Germany, Great Britain. France, Italy and Belgium enter into a mul tilateral western European pact against aerial aggression. It follows the lines of the proposed Anglo-French air pact and would do for the nations named what the Locarno pact does with the land forces for France, Ger many and Belgium. KELLY PETILLO oi California won the 5?J0-miIe auto race at the [ndianai?olis Speedway, setting a new record with an average sj?eed of 108.24 miles an hour. Clay Weatherly of Cincinnati lost control of his car and ;vas killed. LJAWAI1 was treated to a magnifi cent display of American naval power in the Pacific that continued through two days. First the forty planes that had taken part In the mid- ! Pacific maneuvers returned and the i entire armada of 225 planes participat- ] ed in an aerial review. Then the ves sels of the fleet returned and moved to Pearl Harbor, the great naval base, which they all entered in a crucial test of the harbor's capacity as an an chorage. The navy's largest subma rines were with the battleships and cruisers, and there were TOO marines on the target ship Ctah. Navy Memorial day in Japan, the thirtieth anniversary of Admiral Togo's destruction of the Russian fleet, brought forth a pamphlet from the navy's propaganda bureau which made significant allusions to the United States. It said: "Then Russia was the rival and the danger. Today that is changed. We have had to face in another direction. We are confronting another great sea power which is increasing Its navy with Japan as the target "We need a navy sufficient to pro tect our sea routes to the continent of Asia and to face the menace in the direction of the great ocean. That is why Japan demands parity with the greatest navies. If Japan's Just and reasonable demands are rejected by the powers, causing failure of the ef forts to reach a new naval agreement and leading to a naval construction race, the responsibility will not be ours. In such case the only thing for Japan to do is to resort to resolute measures for self-protection." THOUGH the League of Nations council ended its session in Geneva with the hope that it had arranged matters so that war between Italy and im-ir- Ethiopia would be averted, the prospects for such n settlement are riot bright. I'mler pressure from (treat Britain and Krance. Mussolini consented to recognize the league's Jurisdiction over the ; quarrel and agreed to | arbitration. But loitne- | diately thereafter II Once told the chant- j ? < , ber of deputies in usso in Itnme he would not allow Germany to make of Ethiopia "a pistol perennially pointed at us in case of trouble in Europe" and assert ed he was ready to take the supreme responsibility to sustain by every ! means Italy's position In east Africa. He alluded bitterly to Britain and Erance, and Indicated that he believed that Ethiopia was perfecting its army with the help of European powers J inimical to Italy. SAN DIEGO'S beautiful world's fair, the California Pacific exposition, was thrown open to the public practi cally completed. Thousands of visi tors moved along the ancient El Cam ino Ileal to Balboa park on the open ing day and viewed with delight the handsome buildings and interesting ! exhibits. The climax of the opening ? ceremonies came In the evening when President Roosevelt addressed the throng by radio from his study in the White House. JAPAN, ready to take control over " more Chinese territory, delivered to the government at Nanking an ul timatum charging that Dictator Chiang Kai-shek, as well as Gen. Yy Ilsueh cbung, chairman of Hope! province and commander of Chinese troops In ! north China, were directly responsible | for a long list of alleged Infractions of the Tangku truce signed May 31, 1033. Dispatches from Tokyo said Japa nese officials admitted plans had been made to Include I'eiplng and Tientsin within the demilitarized zone, which at present lies north of the two cities. ! Threats were made to bomb and oc- ; cupy both those cities. FIGHTING desperately to save the franc and prevent inflation. Pre mier Flandin of Erance staked every thing on a demand that he be given dictatorial financial powers until the end of the year, and lost. The cham ber of deputies voted against him. 333 to 202, after a dramatic debate, and Flandin and his cabinet Immediately resigned. M. Fernand Boulsson. who was committed to the support of the franc, was called en to form a new government. P*R. ALAN ROY DAFOE. Judge J. L/A. Valin and Minister of Welfare David Croll of Ontario, guardians un der the king of the Itlonne quintuplets, put on a party for those famous babies on their first birthday, and there was a great crowd of visitors in the little town of Callender. But Mr. and Mrs Dionne. resentful because the Infants have been removed from their charge and home to a special hospital across the street, refused to attend the fee tivitles. The five little girls, who are In good health and growing rapidly were displayed briefly and were per mltted to crow or cry into the radio J microphone. Machine Gunners Fire at a Painted Landscape \/f ACHINE-GCN practice with all the advantages of open terrain and landscape targets is being accom plished at the Fort Wayne army post, Detroit, Mich., by using painted land scapes in a limited area.

Bedtime Story for Children By THORNTON W. BURGESS NANNY MEADOW MOUSE IS WORRIED Nanny meadow mouse was worried. Yes, sir. Nanny Mead ow Mouse was worried. Nanny is a home body. In the first place, most of the time she has a family to think about and care for. There are babies In Nanny's snug little home most of the time. What with helpless babies and headstrong, half-grown children eager to get out in the Great World and show how smart they are, and fully grown children already setting will risk her own life for her babies sary risks. The most precious thing anyDoay possesses is lire, to nsk tins for something which at best Is noth ing more than pleasure i9 the most . x" * '?^rwnrnwDr/' ^=* Sometimes Danny Meadow Mouse Laughs at Her and Tells Her That the Older She Grows the More Timid She Becomes. foolish thing In the world. Nanny and bow necessary It Is that a young Meadow Mouse who would live to a good old age be carefully trained. One of the first things to be learned la the foolishness of taking unneces up homes of their own, Nanny has real cause for worry. You see, no one knows better than she what a lot of dangers surround a Meadow Mouse any time, but she Is far too wise to risk It for any other reason. "If you lost your life you're lost everything," Is a favorite saying of Nanny's, and when you come to think of It, it Is exactly so. Sometimes Dan ny Meadow Mouse laughs at her and tells her that the older she grows the more timid she becomes. That doesn't trouble Nanny at all. She simply smiles and says nothing. She knows it is true, but she also knows that this added timidity is because of increased knowledge of the dangers of the Great World, and that the more timid she is the less likely is she to feel careless. "A Meadow Mouse cannot be too tim id," says Nanny, and in that she Is more than half right. Danny Meadow Mouse Is different. He doesn't have the care of those babies all the time on his mind as does Nanny. So he has more time to think about himself and the things he wants to do. Then, too, the sharp little wits in that funny little head of his have brought him through so many tight places that he has come to think him self quite as smart as anybody else and quite able to take care of himself no matter what happens, which shows that he isn't as wise as Nanny, though it wouldn't do to tell him so. The day that Danny took it into his head to visit the Smiling Pool had been a very trying one for Nanny. Danny hadn't told her where he was going or that he expected to be gone long. The half-grown children had been very trying that day. for they had persisted In taking foolish risks whenever Nanny's hack was turned. They kept her worried. They kept her so worried that she didn't have time to think of Danny. But when the Black Shadows began to creep out over the Green Meadows and Danny had not returned. It popped Into her head that something dreadful must have happened to htm. She began to worry. The laler it grew the more she worried. ?. T. W. Burgess.?WNU Service. I GIPUGAGP * ? ?
