SUPREME COURT
RULINGS TO SET
NEW DEAL PATH
Four Major PIankS in u. S.
Recovery Plan to Be
Reviewed Soon.

By ripps-HOtrGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-The
Supreme Court and not Congress is
scheduled to determine the next
phase of four or five New Deal
movements.
Eighteen months after the New
Deal started, the Roosevelt innova-
lions now are flooding into the
highest tribunal for decision.
Congress, nearly always submiS-
~sive to the Courts interpretations
is counted upon to draft its con-
tinuiug laws to conform to the
Courts rulings on them.
The decisions in the oil code cases
argued early in December probably
will determine the aspect of legisla-
ton to regulate, not only petroleum,
but other natural resource indus
tries of major impOrtance-coal,
copper, lumber and others.
viii Guide Congress
The gold devaluation cases to be
argued Jan. 8 are in a different
category. Tall, angular Homer S.
Cummings, expert trial lawyer and
Attorney General, will argue them
in person. The Government here
seeks. and confidently expects, rati-
fication of definite and permanent
gold naturalization already effected.
The next two New Deal cases,
however, are of primary Importance
to Congress. One involves legality
of the quickly-paSsed railroad re-
tirement act of last June. The other
involves price-ixing in industries
not natural resources.
The railroad pension act case will
be heard probably in February. The
District Of Columbia Federal Court
held the act unconstitutional. The
Supreme Court decision is expected
to outline the extent to which the
Federal Government can go in i'm
posing and aiding old age pensions
generally.
The primary question here as out
lined by Solicitor General James
BiggS is whether the act is uncon-
stitutiOnal because it includes all
railroad employees, not merely those
directly engaged in interstate COM
merce. The lower court held the
act invalid on this point, which is
fundamental to national legislation
on general old age pensions and an
nuitieS.
Auto Code Attacked
The price-fixing case results from
the automobile retailing code pro-
vision establishing maximum price
allowances on used cars traded in.
The Spillman Motor Sales Co.,
New York City. sought an injunc-
ton against this provision. The
Government brought it before
three Judge statutory court, as a
constitutional question was involved,
and won. Then Federal officials
and the Supreme Court cO-operated
to speed the company's appeal,
which challenges the validity Of the
whole industrial recovery act.
Decisions on oil, railroad and au-
tomobile cases are expected by
April at the lateSt-in time to guide
Congress. The oil decision may
come in January.
On one phase Of the recovery
legislation the Administration has
not pressed for a quick ruling
validity of Section IA and various
labor provisions and regulations. 1t
now appears unlikely there will be
a Supreme Court ruling before the
recovery legislation expires next
June Is. This means that it is up
to the Administration and Congress
to re-enact or revise the legislation.

LOST WEDDING
 RING WASFOUND
Minister Dropped It While in Swimming Twenty-
 eight Years Ago

Boston, Oct. 22--(UP)-A we'd ding ring, found in a codfish here early this month, may be one lost by the Rev. E. T. Drake of Or ange, Texas, 2S years ago, it was revealed today.
 Rev. Drake pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Orange, recently read in a Beaumont, Tex as, newspaper a United Press dis patch telling of the finding of the ring.
 He noted that the ring was in- scribed, ""Pat D., and recalled that this unusual inscription also was in the ring he lost while swimming in Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, in 1906.
 It was his mothers wedding ring, given to him by her when he left home. His mothers maid en name was Patsy Capps. His father used to call her "Pat" and he was certain the ring was in- scribed "Pat D." He plans to ver- ify this>by consulting his mother, who lives in the little Missouri village of Santa Fe.
 The ring found here fell out of a codfish when Jack Simmons, em- ployed at Boston fish pier, sliced off the head. The cod, a &C., pounder, had been caught on Georges Banks.
 Fish pier attaches said codfish travelled great distances and that it would be entirely possible for one to pick up the ring in Texas waters and deposit it on the Geor- ges, off the Massachusetts coast.

PACKAGE STORES
 TO DIVIDE VOTES
Back Liquor Platforms of Both Parties-Cast Bal-
 lots as They Please

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct 22.- (UP)-The bid of major political parties for the undivided support of the liquor interests in the Mo- vember elections. appeared to-day to have fallen on barren ground.
 The Connecticut Package Store association voted Sunday to in- dorse the liquor blanks of both parties, advising each package store owner to vote according to his political convictions" and to pledge support ito those who will be elected in their efforts to pass equitable liquor legislation which. when enacted, will do justice to our cause and promote temperance among our citizens"
 The liquor question is one of the bones of contention in the cam paign. Republicans have held the democrats responsible for dis criminatory" laws while the demo- crats charged the republican ma jority in the house with approving the legislation.

 "If you value the life of your child, do not fail to meet me in front of the Metropolitan (392) Fulton st.) in Brooklyn at 10:30 D. m. Friday. I will be waiting for you. If you do not keep the appointment you will hear from me again."

Mrs Harry Payne Whitney, it was said no guards had been requested. A policewoman approximately Mrs Vanderbilt's height and size kept the Friday appointment, police re- vealed. but no one appeared.

BUSINESS TO BE
 GOOD THIS FALL
Much Better During the Winter-Real Prosper
 ity Comes in 1885

Southbridge. Mass, Oct D. UP)-Business will be back to normal--perhaps above normal in 1936. in the opinion of James R. Bancroft. president of the American Institute of Finance.
 Bancroft today told the South bridge Manufacturers and Mer- chants association he believes business is going to be better this fall and winter" and that 1885 will lay the basis for a real period of prosperity in this country"
 we are about to start the up- ward climb" he asserted. We could and should have been on our way before now. The reason, for the impasse in business recovery has been the 'head-on-cO collision between the effects of the great reservoir of credit that has been piled up in the past few years and governmental reform. For the past 12 months reform has been in the saddle. Hence, businesf, is no better than 1t was a year ago,
 Lack of further progress toward business recovery during the past year was blamed by Bancroft on existence of fear of governmental reforms. Elimination of fear. Ban croft said. is an absolute prereqW. site to the restoration of prosper ity. a.
 He said belief that imitation will restore prosperity is a mistaken notion.

Some Little Flare-Ups at LeavenwOrth and the

The student strike in which sev- eral hundreds of high school pull pills at Crosby, Wilby and Leaven- worth were reported ready to walk out this morning as a protest against the last period of study, failed to materialize.
 Only at Leavenworth was there any indication that the threatened walkout might actually take place, as several hundred students ga- thered on the steps of the school at recess time and looked towards Crosby expectantly. At the same time Crosby upils crowded to the windows to. watch proceedings at Leavenworth. although none of them left the building.
 Their Leaders Absent
 As the recess period drew to a close the mass of students on the steps crowded slowly toward the gate and there were several sug- gestions of q concerted rush, but leaders failed to come to the fore front and a member of the faculty was stationed directly in front of the gate with a vigilant eye on possible trouble makers.
 With the sound of the bell end ing recess the mob of young sters showed no disposition to re- turn to the building and the teach CT in charge found it somewhat difficult to herd them back toward the steps. Other faculty mem- bers came to his assistance and the more recalcitrant of the group were soon rounded up and sent back to their studies. An outburst of whistling and catcalls during the procedure was quickly quietcd by the teachers. and as far as Leavenworth was concerned the strike was all over. Meanwhile the
