COURT RULING IS
TERMED UNSOUND
Washington, Jan. 6.^—^A direct
attack upon the Supre-me Court’s
decision invalidating the 'AAA,
and a qualified mo'Ve to preSa
for a constitutional amendment
tonight came from Democratic
congressional qnarters.
Senator Bankhead (D)', 'Ala.,
an agricultural leader, asserted
that "as a lawyer I think that
the Supreme Court opinion is to
tally unsound.’’ He added he
would proceed on the assumption
that the Bankhead cotton.control
act, which also is before the
court, likewise would be declared
invalid.
Senator Costigan (D). Colo.,
declared simultaneously that
“unless convinced that other ear
ly action will more' definitely
serve the public good’’ he would
demand an early hearing on the
constitutional amendment he pre
pared last year soon after the
highest court bad held the NRA
unconstitutional.
■'The Constitution,’’ Costlgan
of our great parties. It is never
theless true that in • the  grave
questions that confront the Unit
ed States today I, as President
of the United States, must-sad
will consider our ,eommon prob
lems first, foremost and pre
eminently from the American
point of view.
The people of America know
tbe heart and the purpose of
their .government. We will not
retreat.
Whatever may be the platform
* * * tbe basic issue will be the
retention of popular government
—Ian issue fraught once more
with tbe difficult problem of dis
seminating facts • • • in the face
of an. opposition bent on hiding
and: distorting facts.
■Andrew Jackson * * •. was
compelled to combat epithets,
generalities, misrepresentation
and the suppression of facts. * *
A government can be no bet
ter than- the public opinion that
sustains it.
1 know you ’will not be surpris
ed by the lack of comment on my
part tonight on the decision by
the Supreme court two days ago.
I cannot render offhand Judg
ment without studying, with the
utmost care, two of the most mo
mentous opinions ever rendered
in a case before the Supreme
• • * Jackson got >18 idea jn
his ideals acftmi not
any luxurious .'propkgknda b'uf 'u.,
cause, the ffifiTbn thb street an«f
the lohii fkrm'^liOTed in
his idea, his ideals, and his hon
esty, went out and dug'up the
facts and spread them abroad'
throughout the land.
After my annual message to
the Congress lat Friday eve
ning, I received many apprecia
tive lettere and telegrams from
ail over the country • • • wi^ln
a few hours I received more of
these than at any tiin'e since the
critical days of the spring of
1933.
I ‘have a definite feeling that
what I had said about the great
problems that face us a a nation
received a responsive, an appre
ciative, and an understanding
answer in the homes of America.
This means a lot to me.
The other interesting facts a-
bont these letters and telegrams'
is the very grat number o* them
that come from bublnee». men,
storekeepers, bankers and manu
facturers. ..
We are at peace ^ with the
world, but the fight g'Oes on. Our
frontiers of today are economic,
not geographic. Our enemies are
the forces of privilege and greed
within our own b'rders.

.Wahington, Jan. 6.—The su
preme court smashed the Roose
velt farm aid nrOgram today with
an uncomproilHMng opinion throw
ing other major ndw ^al laws into
question.
Administratio'n leaders, stunned
by the 6-=3 decision, wittoeld im
mediate comment. President Roose
velt called- major advisors into a
hurried White House conference.
Justice Roberts read the -views
of the court majority killing the
entire agricultural adjustment act
as mvalidsting the '‘friaerved
rights of states" and “beyond the
powers delegated to the federal
government."
Under the AAA. $1,127,000,000
has been paid farmers since 1933
for reducing crops under a nation
al plan intended to raise farm in
come.
In a vehement dissent, Justices
Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo as
serted that "courts are not the only
agency of government that n^ust be
assumed to have the capadily to
govern.’’
As organized farm leaders pro
posed amending the constitution,
and stock commodity markets re
acted irregularly to the netvs, there
wa immediate speculation on the
fate of new deal legislation still
to face the court’s scrutiny.
, What •will happen, lawyers won-
ladies dered. to such meaures as the so
cial security, Guffey coal control.
Wagoner labor disputes, and other
laws ba^ on the never-before
limited power of congress to leg
islate ‘for the general welfare’’—
which until today had never b®*n
defined or limited by the high tri
bunal.
Holding that “Jatice Story’s
theory" of this power “is the cor
rect one.” Roberts added that “he
makes it clear that the powers of
taxation ad appropriation extend
ed only to matters of national, a
distinguished from local welfare.’’
The court’.? blow wa the second
to a major cornerstone of the new
deal. Last spring it unanimously
overthrew NRA codes, through
which the government tried to reg
ulate industry.
■Vast political implicatioa ac
companied today’s ruling. Mr.
Roosevelt, who talked about
“horse and buggy days’’ after
NRA wa killed, received the news
while closeted ■with Secretary Dem.
The cabinet member said the
President "smiled,” but declined to
reveal what he said. Immediately,
Secretary Wallace, Attorney Gen
eral Cummings, and congressional
leaders were summoned to the
White House for what a secretary
described a a “preliminary con
ference.” -with others to follow in
the next few days.
Justice Roberts’ opinion denied
that the court “assumes a power to
overrule or control the action of
the people’s representatives.” say
ing that its “delicate and diffi
cult office”.-wa merely to ascer^
tain whether legislation ia in. ac-^
cordance vdGi the eonstit&ticilL.L
Justice- 8toar, 'Jhow««et;
that “the pas^jct
valid, not of
defray public expenditures .
but because the use to which its
proceeds are put is disapproved,”
Stolv^. added:
“la removal of unvrise la'ws from
the statute books appeal lies not
to the courts but to the ballot and
to the processes o f democratic
government”
A few minutes after the opinion |>
had been read, new farm legisla
tion was projected in congress by
Senator McNary. of Oregon, the
Republican leader.
Seejetary Wallace's aides locked
themselves in their offices and
strove to discover whether AAA
was smashed beyond repair or
whether means had to be found to
pay approximately $500,000,000
due farmers on crop adjustment
contracts.
