de SibOur Prominently
Mentioned.

The question Of who will be the
two civilian members of the District
Boxing Commission remained uncer-
tain today, when H. Rozier Dulany,
jr., lawyer and real estate investor,
declined to accept an appointment.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
rendered the post to Dulany, a friend
of long standing. but Dulany said he
found it impossible to accept.
Several other persons, prominent in
Washington, already had declined,
among these being Ray Baker, former
director of the mint; w. w. Spaid, a
broker, and Postmaster General
Farley, who was found to be ineligible
because he lacked three years resi-
dence in the District.
The Commissioners are giving con-
sideration to suggestions for the ap-
pointment of Maj. Harvey Miller and
j. H. de Sibou, among other candi-
dates. The Commissioners still have
before them the petition signed by 40
House committee chairmen and
Speaker Rainey and Majority Leader
Byrns sponsoring the appointment of

INVOLVED IN CASE
Government Fights to Es-
tabIish Validity of
A. A. A. Act.

approximately sfo0, 900. 900 in Fed
eral taxes is the stake" for which an
array of Government legal talent is
battling in a critical court test at
Boston of the constitutionality of the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton act, it was learned today.
About 5000 .o00, 900 of these taxes,
constituting processing and floor taxes
under the A. A. A. act, already have
been collected by the Government.
The A. A. A. taxes are fundamental
part of the Presidents recovery pro-
gram and II they should be declared
illegal, a serious blow would be dealt
the entire program, it is pointed out.
Justice Department Aids.
The legal contest opened yesterday
before Judge Elisha H. Brewster in
the Federal District Court in the
Massachusetts, city, with Department
Of Justice and A. "A. A. counsel
launching a combined defense of the
act. Former Senator William M. But
Ter of Massachusetts,. one time chair
man Of the Republican National Com
mittee and campaign manager for
Calvin Coolidge. is one Of the group
contesting the act.
During arguments by the Govern
ment yesterday, the court indicated
the case hinges largely on the ques-
tion Of whether the A. A. A. act dele
gated legislative powers to Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace. Justice
Brewster. upon conclusion of oral de-
bate. asked both sides to prepare
briefs within the next two weeks on
this important point. When he has
studied these briefs he will formulate
his decision.
U. S. Ends Its Case.
Arguments for the Government
were opened by Robert N. Anderson,
special assistant to the Attorney Gen.
eral. who spoke for two hours in de-
fenSe of the constitutionality of the
act. He was followed by Prev Savoy.
head of the processing tax division
Of the A. A. A., who contended the
act is not class legislation" for farm
ers. but move in behalf of the gen.
eral welfare of the people. Jerome
FRANK, general counsel of the A. A. A..
concluded the Federal pleas.
Butler and the other contestants
were represented by Bennett Sander
son and John Lawrance, serving as
counsel for the receivers of the Hoo
sac Mills Corporation. The receivers
raised the point of the acts consti-
tutionality after the Government had
levied claim against them for
$80, 0,5s2 in taxes and interest.
One Of the major points advanced
by the receivers was that the A. A. A.
act is a delegation Of legislative au-
thority to an executive lofficer, Secre-
tary Wallace, in violation of the Con-
stitution. and this issue will be
threshed out In the battle of briefs
during the next two weeks.
