! other letter to Representative Wads
worth. and admits he made an crrol
when he said the Wadsworta amend

to the court review provision, and
says IL is absurd that any such pro
vision is needed
Congress cannot take away copsti
tutional rights of the packers or nc
one else. The court review provis.

unwholesome In the Judgment of the
government experts you could put in
a judge who has no knowledge whnt.

ture. decide any question which the
packers thought worth disputing
You may possibly remember a reoent
| judicial decision in Chicago In which
the packers were concerned. You
say the packers insist upon rigid IN

provision be taken out. You state II
