STR|CTCONTROL
Of BUSINESS
HIT BY COURT

The Supreme Court has ad-
ministered a severe setback TO
economists who propose strict
Government control of business
to end overproduction and guar
antee employment.
The courts definition of the
power of States under the Federal
Constitution to interfere with
private business frankly recog-
nized the present economic situa-
tion and the many plans ad-
Vanced to end it.
Two Judges Dissent
The case itself was relatively
unimportant. It involved validity
of an Oklahoma law declaring
the companies a public utility.
Six justices held the law un-
constitutional, while Justices
Brandeis and Stone dissented.
In delivering the majority
opinion, Justice Sutherland pro-
nounced new rule of reason"
A business must be clothed with
a real public interest before the
State can exercise control over it,
he said.
The claim that law is neces-
sary experiment in control of
economic conditions is not enough
to upset the constitutional re-
Strictions, he added.
Brandeis Is Champion
But Justice Brandeis emerged
as a champion of the right of
governments to enact laws not
dreamed of 200 years ago in
searching for a cure of unem-
ployment and business ills.
The line was clearly drawn.
The decision casts doubt upon the
legality of the proposed plan for
control of the coal industry, now
before Congress, and many sim
liar measures.

HARTFORD, Conn, March %
IUS0 0.-Terming the tWo-thirds
rule a paralyzing influence and
citing the Madison Square Gar
den impasse of 1924, Homer S.
Cummings, former Democratic
national chairman and now a
leading supporter of Governor
Roosevelt, today issued plea
that the Chicago convention
agree on a rule providing for a
majority ballot to nominate the
Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent. He said:
Unfortunately, our party
still operates under the so
called twO-thirds rule. This is,
in effect, a One-third rule, for
it allows a determined minor
ity to paralyze party action
and prevent the convention
from functiOning.

Washington Fashions
By WILMA LAYLLE

Clothes have found other
ways of going military than
adding metal buttons and epau.
letes. They can now do it BY
means of color. The uniforms
of the cadets at Annapoli- and
West Point have been copied in
color as well as In detail, so
that anyone with a military
leaning can choose her school,
and adopt the colors. Not that
she will look mannish in one
of these coats or suits, though, =
for there are feminine details
that take care of that, and the
clothes are cut so that they fol-
low the feminine figure. and fit
as graciously as dressmaker
garment.
Present Arms!
West Point blue seems to be
gaining in favor by the day,
partly because it is so flatter-
ing, and becauc- it is soft and
Spring-like. 1t is a complete
change from the darker blues
we have ha> with its grayiSh
cast, and it hLrmonizes beauti-
fully with other colo.S. There's
a coat about town in this color
that is an ,xact copy Of the
West Point overcoats, complete
with cape lined in red, with
metal buttons, and other de-
tails. 1t is so very youthful
that it should be attempted
only by the young and slim, but
it is adorable on the right per-
son.
Red Silk Lining
Red lines the coat we have
had sketched today, and it is
also in West Point blue. The
tiny shoulder cape which is
scarcely a cape at all, suggests
epauletes, and the braided
pieces of fabric add to the illu-
sion by suggesting gold braid.
The coat is generously double
breasted, with eight buttons to
hold it shut, four on each side,
and cther military features are
the plain sleeves ant the well
fittSd back. II is made Of a
plain wooden fabric, smooth but
soft in texture. This coat is
from a Was. ingyon store.
