before the Court in an appeal by
Frank S. Myers. appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson. Postmaster at Port
land, Ore, and shortly thereafter

The court was admonished by So
licitor General Beck that Congress
should not be permitted 10 place the
President in straight jacket, and

of Congress would not cripple the
