Infusion of these young lawyers
into the government is hardly less
significant than the arrival Of
shoals of professors here. The flow
of young legal brains, which once
headed into New York, has at
least temporarily been diverted to
Washington.
Among them the government
has picked up some Of the high
est grade brains it ever had and
the kids" are proving as good as
the best and better than most of
the high-priced, experienced law
yers who came here to etry to
chisel easy deals for the big cor
porationS.
DERHAPS the most important
l. tenet Of the Brandeis-F Frank
furter religion goes something like
this:
You can't find brains or char
acter enough TO handle huge CEN
tralized projects on a national
scale. Big business and finance
should be broken into smaller,
more efficient units, by taxation.
'Racketeering by bankers and
spectators with other peoples
money must end. Competition
must be free and fair"
Some Brandeis admirers dis
agree and wish Justice BrandeiS
would get away from the ideas he
held twenty years ago. But by no
means all.
That Brandeis-Fr ankfurter phi
loSophy was uppermost in the
minds of the three young proteges
who drafted the securities and
stock market acts and then fought
behind the scenes like tigers for
their passage.
The three were: James M. Lam
dis, IS, securities exchange COM
missioner, former Brandeis secre-
tary and Harvard law professor, a
thin, blond, hawk-nosed man who

what Congressman Fred A. Brit

he attacked the stock market bill
drafted by three Brandeis-
Holmes ex- secretaries-in the last

ing the Wilson administration,
when he was chairman of the war

Roosevelt was assistant secretary

counseled often since.
Professor Frankfurter worships
exceptional brains and President
Roosevelt admires the brains of
Professor Frankfurter, a vigorous
man of about the Presidents age
and an outstanding friend Of la
Dor and social justice.
Naturally, Professor Frankfurter
has helped work out some of the
New Deal measures and policies.
Naturally, he recruited many of
his protegeS-most of whom were
in private practice-for impor-
tant posts in the new administra-
ton.
Naturally, those proteges re-
cruited dozens of ex-clasSmates
from Harvard law school to help
them man the legal ramparts.
TOLUMBIA and Yale and other
~ universities also contributed.
Their graduates here often play
in harmony with the Frankfurter
group and some Of the Columbia
fellows studied under Harlan F.

states that the administration has

and good-faith attempt to cause
business men to see that the con-
ditions making for better business
are in existence and to give bust

He cites both the Presidents
speech and Donald Richberg's
more recent one in Chicago as as
surfing business that whatever is
necessary for its well-being will
be done.
Arthur Krock of the Democratic

CHAMPAGNE SLIPPERS
TO HAVE THEIR DAY
Bubbly Wine to Hold Limelight at
Mid-Ocean Dinner.

Mid Ocean Dinner.
By United Press
PARIS, Oct. 13-Timid souls who
like to sip champagne throughout
meal instead of switching from
red to white, according to the die
tates of the food, but feel that
they are guilty of an outrage against
epicurean traditions, can now take
heart.
Some of the finest epicures of
France will partake of a feast in
mid-Atlantic next November, at
which nothing but champagne will
be served.
The affair is being sponsored by
French publication which gives
monthly dinner to glorify the
best culinary standards of French
and other countries.
Arrangements have been made
to hold the champagne banquet on
the lie de France, while the liner
is midway across the ocean en- route
to New York.
About 400 covers will be laid and
the banquet will be open to novices
as well as professional champagne
! Slippers.

XXTHEN first attempts here to
w write a securities act be-
came balled up, Professor Frank
furter sent for Lands and Cohen
to come and join forces with Cor
coran. The three worked out a
measure in which even the smart
est Wall Street lawyers couldn't
find loopholes.
Acting on the Brandeis premise
that a business setup mustn't be
so big that even its officers can't
understand it-as in the case Of
insult and Krueger-they sought
a law which would compel corpor-
ations to know all about them
selves.

First, he feels that the wide
spread installation of such safe
guards have long been urgently
needed in American railroad
transportation.
Second, such a plan would elm
mate the criticism raised against
the CWA that no constructive
work was accomplished.
Under the plan, as being con-
sidered by the President, the rail-
roads would bear half the cost,
with the government lending the
money.
In other words, the government
would put up the estimated
S1,0O0,000,O00 necessary to finance
the great project. But the rail-
roads, over a term Of years, would
repay S500,00O,00O.
