GIVES SENIOR PLAY The Junior Class of Walstonburg High School will present "The Night Owl," a three act play by Frank Spahn, Friday evening, April 15th, in the school auditorium. From the time the curtain goes up on the opening scene until it comes down at the end'of the play, the au dience wilt see such an array of fun, mystery, and romaine as they have never seen before. The entire action of the play i3 set in the room of a haunted house. The principal characters meet for the first time when they seek a com mon refisge from a terrific storm which is raging outside. Anne 'Wesley, a playwright, has rented the haunted house for a short time in order to gain atmosphere for a play she is writing. William K. Wimple, a fast talking, small-tune detective; Ken, a fun loving assistant sleuth; Mrs; Kariey, a gloomy house keeper; James T. Gray, a Broadway theatrical produces; Patsy, a runa way from a circus, and many others equally unusual make the east as mysterious and hilarious as one could well imagine.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS The Walstonburg High School fac ulty challenged the high school girls to a soft ball game on Monday, April 4th. Not so much can be said in behalf of the model playing; bat it . afforded a great deal of amusement to the spectators. The students en* , joyed seeing their coaches demon strate the advice they had been giv ing. The faculty certainly tried hard enough to win if not to follow Coache's advice. Miss Taylor's spec tacular faB in a mad rash to ftest s base brought up cheers - from the a bleechers and a very red face from Miss Taylor. Miss Jenkins started i sliding to second base halfway be-"' tween the baaes -^*and sha almost , .made it. At thaesd of the-4tb in- , ning, the score was very- ontalaaeed j in favor of the girls. The final score waa^l8 to-If in favor of the girls* With artffter isafrirthe. fadaHy ? might have a chance to win some times.

Chief Jus tice Haghes, epoetin* for the court, accepted in full the Government's ar gument that the companies eanld es cape penalties by registering" as re quired under Section 5, and retain all rights and remedies with respect to other provisions of the statute. The Court upheld the right est Congress "to demand the fullest information as typrguwM*ta'f>e;rflti"TfniTt' structure and all the activities which could have any hearing upon the exercise ef con gressional authority." - ????? f? The decision does not mean that the j entire, act has been-approved because the "death sentence" provision was not an issue in the cma& The Govern ment insisted that" the' sections of the law were separable. The companies took the position that theperta of the act were a: unit 'and sought ?' judg ment declaring "each and every porr] tion of the? sot" unconstitutional Chief Justice Hughes found no '.here ious controversy" as to the authority of Congress- over-riie- activities of the companies involved. He dismissed the defendant's contention that -the act was inseparable and- declined to pass on the constitutionality of Sec tions not before the Court because to do so would be > to-"enter-into-a speculative inquiry." '.'?iff The court concluded that there was "no room for doubt" that the cor porations involved were in attentate commerce, saying that while they might conduct their transactions through the instrumentality of sub sidiaries , the Court- would look to "the substance of what they do. and not the form in which they clothe their transactions." He upheld the wide discretion of Congress in impos ing penalties for the violation of its rules, saying specifically i that while Congress may not exercise its control over the methods to enforce a re quirement outside its constitutional power, it could lay down a valid reg ulation and withdraw the privileges of the mails from those who disobey it. There arc several comments to be made in connection with this litiga tion. The act was passed by Con gress in 1935 after one of thO mast controversial struggles ever witness ed at the Capital. Some readers prob ably recaU-the inquiry that uncovered the campaign conducted against it, including the mass dispatch of thou sands'of telegrams ~ in opposition, some of them - bearing fictitious names. The holding companies bit terly assailed the measure in its en tirety, insisted that it would destroy the industry and that it violated prac tically every constitutional guaran tee to the people of this country. Legal proceedings began inNoveift Iber, 1935, when the Securities and ?Exchange Commission instituted pro ceeding against the Electric Bond and [Share Company, seeking to compel it Ito register as required, by the act, ?In July, 1936, the ease was heard bq Wore a Federal Judge, who, early in Il937, decided that the registration [features were separable from the so called "death sentence" provision and [constitutional The judge of the ?Lower Court Tefimed to pass on the [entireact.

The reerganising power given' to the Chief Executive expires on July 1st, 1940. Am there-are at preeent more than 186 separate government agencies, many performing similar functions,-one of the aims of the bill is to permit the President to coned: this condition. It should be clearly understood that little claim is made for economy as a result of the opera tion of reorganization. Another pro vision of the measure gives the Pres- j ident authority to extend the classi fied Civil Service and it is believed that some 200,000 government em ployes, -wow unclassified, will" be placed therein as a result of this ?UH vision. : j The bill creates je new officer, the Aiufitor-General, who is an agent of Congress and directly responsible to Congress. His functions will be to inspect, audit and investigate the ex penditures, receipts and funds of. the Government, rbut' he will perform no executive functions, as the day-to-day I control of expenditures is placed un der the Director of thi Budget, iwho is under the Executive. This officer will determine -Whether or not money is available under various acts, ;will settle claims, giver decisions as to ex penditures and prescribe the account ing system to be used by executive agencies. The new Department of Public Welfare, which many believe Will be hOaded. by Harry Hopkins, will include, it is believed, some twenty-odd welfare agencies of the Government. The head will be a member of the Cabinet ,to be lmuwn as the Secretary of Welfare. "The National -Resources Planning Board will have five members, who "will study planning policies and ther de velopment of the natural resources of the nation. Debate in the Benate was vigor ous, to say the least, with frequent warnings that it would create a (dic tatorship. Senator Walsh, leader of' the opposition, insisted that it in volved "plunging a dager into1 the very heart of democracy." Senator Borah declared that the President should not ask for "power not grant ed by the Constitution," and Senator Johnson a?ailed the effort "to con centrate" power in the President. Other senators " insisted that there ^ras -no danger thatihe President] ?would abuse -his "limited powers."
