JUDICIAL POWERS
Of BUREAUS HIT
Bar Committee Urges Ad-
miniStrative Court to
Pass on Enforcement.

BY the Associated Press.
A committee of the American Bar
Association says the judiciary is being
undermined by a maze of conflict
ing and overlapping" administrative
agencies.
The committee urged yesterday
that the judicial functions of the
agencies be disassociated from the
legislative and executive powers and
reposed in an administrative court.
The N. r. A. was mentioned spe-
cifically as an example. The COM
mittee observed that the Recovery
Administration seems clearly limited
to the exercise of legislative func-
tions (having to do with the approval
of codes and matters incidental
thereto) although both 1t and GER
tain other agencies created by the
President under the same act are
actually exercising judicial functions
hearing and deciding alleged
violations of codes"
Among the other administrative
agencies referred to were the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton and the Federal Trade Commis-
sion.
Doubts Wisdom.
The committee, In criticizing what
1t called the maze of conflicting and
overlapping agencies set up by the
administration, stated 1t doubted the
wisdom of authorizing the President
to create and discontinue at will ad-
ministrative agencies to delegate
powers handed MIN by Congress.
Pointing out that Mr.. Roosevelt by
executive order had set up Is agencies
and 4 corporations, the committee
recommended that so-called inde-
pendent commissions be abolished and
theil legislative and executive func-
tions transferred to some executive
department of the Government. 1t
suggested that no new independent
commissions be created.
On the matter of establishing an
administrative court" the committee
urged that if it did not prove feasible
the judicial functions of these agen-
cies be placed in an appropriate"
number of independent tribunals
modelled after the Board of Tax Ap-
peals. 1t added:
Violates Fundamentals.
when judicial power is combined
with executive or legislative power,
maxim fundamental to the admins
tration of justice Is disregarded. that
a man should not be permitted to ad-
Judge his own case.
when an administrative tribunal
is charged with investigation of al
legged violations of the law or Of its
own regulations. and with the prep
aration and conduct (through its own
attorneys) of the very proceedings on
which it sits in judgment and (again
through its own attorneys) with the
defense of its own decisions on ap-
peal, it Is doing exactly what the ex-
perience of ages has demonstrated to
be unwise and, indeed, unavoidable" I"
The committee in its study also
found that appointments to admins
trative agencies were too generally
cIassed as patronage and lit is to be
feared the decisions of some of them

side.
The committee, headed by Secretary
Ickes and including several Govern
ment officials, was named yesterday
by the President in radio message
from the Pacific.
Mr.. Roosevelt said his idea was this:

Works Administration committee to
be called the National Power Policy
Committee Its duty will be to de-
velop a plan for the closer co-opera-
ton of the several factors in our elec-
trical power supply-both public ana
private-whereby national policy In
power matters may be unified and
electricity be made broadly available
at cheaper rates to industry, to do
mestic, and particularly to agricul-
tural consumers"
Other Members.
Besides Ickes, other members Of the
committee will be DR.. Elwood Mead OF
the Bureau of Reclamation, Frank r.
McNinch of the Power Commission;

Valley Authority, and T. w. Norcross,
assistant forester.
The committee will be charged d.
rectly with preparing legislation for
the next Congress better to regulate
the flow of electrical energy in inter-
state commerce.
The President interrupted his vaca-
ton cruise to take this latest step to-
ward achieving his long sought goal
of cheaper power.
Long before he assumed the presi-
dency, M. Roosevelt had outlined his
desire of lighting homes, operating
factories, easing the burdens of the
housewife and bringing modern con-
veniences to the farm with low-coSt
power.
On his return from Hawaii he will
visit two gigantic power plants being
constructed with public works funds.

HOW THE NEW.
DEAL
He SOUTH
(Stuart's Service Bureau)

In 1888 Alabama had on relief no
less than 10000 form workers and
several s~harecroppers. For these
sufferers relief was accomplishing
nothing. The sharecroppers had TO
idea what his previous burden of debts
to his landlord were, for the landlord
kept the only books.
Most Of the relief money for share
troopers found its way back to the
landlord. Time after time the land
lord took over the s~harecropper's en-
tire crop, to pay old debts, and the
administration had to furnish the
farmers with came dgoods "lest he
starve" as the "Fortune" magazine
ruts it. Thaddaus Holt, the State
Relief Administrator in Alabama, de
cided that tn etime had come for a
new sort of treatment for the econo
mic ills of the farmer. Sixty per
cent Of whom were poor whites and
20 per cent Negroes. Drastic steps
were taken early in 1884 and on the
approval Of Harry L. Hopkins, Mr.
Holt put this to the landlords: "Eith
er take over yocr tenant as yaur re
lief problem ard feed them Or else
waive your claims to his 1884 crop,
and let the tenant farmer go for him
self, with the help of the State and
Federal Government. Some land
lords agreed. Then the relief admin
stration took a look over the roll, and
selected 5000, and began its expert
ment giving each 8 months supplies
which included one steer costing 500;
feed for the steer, Az months sup
ply of food, seed fertilizer teols and
clothing. The value Of all this

His creditor was nov the government
not a private individual. When the
sharecropper signed this note, he be
