In 1875 years the Supreme
Court of the United States has
invalidated only 40 acts of Con-
gresS and only II of these in
volved important public issues.
Today, the adjudication of the
NRA is begun by this high tri-
bunal in it's move to review
1ower-court decisions involving
gold payments and the nmita.
tions of gold production. It is
the final court showdown on the
New Deal, and it will make
history.
In view Of the above record,
probabilities would seem to
weigh against an adverse deci'
sion, as involving the Recovery
Act, but statistics here are no
safe guide. The New Deal is
deep in the same mother lode of
those II crucial decisions, touch
ing on the powers of the States
and the Federal Government,
the sanctity of contracts, and
property and individual rights.
These decisions have enGom'
passed and interpreted the $50.
cial and economic trends OF
America. This one should be
climactic and possibly determln'
ing for decades to come.
Two aloof, imposing, black
robed figures are at the fulcrum
of destiny. They are Chief JUS
tice Hughes and Associate JUS
tice Roberts. It is they who
stand between the evenly divid-
ed liberal and conservative
groups-they who may throw
the balance for or against all
the vast endeavorS of President
Roosevelt and his New Dealers.
DIVIDED
Lately, they have seemed to
incline toward liberal opinion.
But none can conjecture here.
It isn't done. America must
wait-and heed, for this is the
final word. The decision in the
Minnesota case of last spring
was taken as an augury of COM
plete valuation for the New
Deal-at least, by the New Deal
ers. The court sustained a law
passed by the Minnesota Legls'
lature, extending the time in
which a foreclosed owner could
redeem his property.
On the So-called liberal side,
UNFOLDING the Minnesota law,
were Justices Brandeis, Cardoza,
Stone, Roberts and Hughes. On
the conservative side, as IN
many other alignments, Justices
Butler, Sutherland, Van De-
vanter and McReynolds.
This five-to-four division has
been widely accepted as disclos-
ing liberal opinion slightly pre-
dominant in the court. It may
fairly be said that Justices Bran
deis, Cardoza and Stone are
rather definitely placed on that
side of the line. The above four
dissenters in the Minnesota
case have given rulings which,
no doubt, justify their loose
classifications as conservatives.
Justices Hughes and Roberts
stand in between, with the
latter more delicately poised for
a nod right or left.
OF those five liberals, Presi-
dent Hoover appointed three,
President Coolidge one, and
President Wilson one. OF the
four conservatives, President

Harding appointed two and

may mean little, with America
at the crossroads, choosing this
road or that. Apparently they
have not been determining fac
tors in the above division. This
is in accord with the traditional
and theoretical basis Of the
court.
Since the day when the court
first sat in the shabby old build
ing at the foot of Broad Street,
New York, it has been a canon
of good taste in public discus
sion to consider members of the

to this writer that it is singular
ly gratifying that, in these con.
fused years of pressure and des-
perate expedient, the country
has calmly awaited the adjudi-
cation of its drastic legislation
by the Supreme Court, and that
this tribunal has been able to
maintain its "high seriousness"
above the melee of political dis
cuSSion.
It was so when the court was
housed in a damp cellar after
the burning of the Capital by
the British; it was so in the
larger but still inadequate quar-
tiers of later decades, and it is

Improvement of F St.
Thanks to Mr.. IckeS


Washngtonians have real to be grateful to Sec
rotary of the Interior Harold Ickes for aong funds
which will eliminate one of the most perous traffic
dtions in the Capital and at the same time greatly i'm
prove the shopping district of the city.
WITH THE ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
SET ASIDE BY MR. 1CKEs IT WILL BE POSSIBLE
TO REMOVE THE JOG IN STREET BETWEEN
SEVENTH AND NINTH STREETS WHICH HAS BEEN
A SEVERE HANDICAP TO THE ORDERLY DE-
VELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS DISTRICT AND
WHICH HAS CAUSED SORE INCONVENIENCE TO
ALL OF OUR CITIZENS.
Under the plans for the improvement the south steps
of the old Patent Office will be removed and the south
facade of the structure will be remodeled to
nance its beauty.
It is seldom that is possible to perform such major
operaton upon building in the heart of city without
detractng from the beauty Of the section but as Mr.
Ickes points out the remodeing job will enhance the
appearance of the building.
Washngtonians who appreciate and love their city and
It's beautiful structures delighted that the utaran
improvement which is sought will likewise be esthetc
advance.
OF PRIME IMPORTANCE IN THE PROJECT HOW
EVER, IS THE FACT THAT DANGEROUS AND
DISTRESSING TRAFFIC DISTURBANCE WILL BE
ELIMINATED STREET, WHICH IN THE TWO
BLOCKS PARTICULARLY AFFECTED, HAS BEEN
ONE-WAY STREET, WILL BECOME TWO
WAY STREET AND TRAFFIC THROUGHOUT THE
LENGTH OF THIS IMPORTANT BUSINESS THOR
OUGHFARE WILL BE GREATLY EXPEDITED.
The Washington Times is proud of the part which it
has played in bringing to successful conclusion this
long debated effort
MANY ORGANIZATIONS AND OFFICIAL AGEN-
CIES HAVE ASSISTED MATERIALLY IN THE CAM
PAIGN WHICH NOW REACHES FRUITION. A FEW
MONTHS AGO MOST OF THOSE WHO WERE IN
TERESTED BECAME DISCOURAGED BECAUSE OF
THE SEEMING 1MPOssIBTLITY OF GETTING TO-
GETHER ALL OF THE BUREAUS AND DEPART
MENTS INVOLVED.
In the face of this discouragng situation and with
great reels of red tape to be unwound The Washington
Times took the lead in the campaign and is now happy
to present to the city this latest in healthy series of
public endeavors championed by this newspaper
The campaign could not have been successful without
the united cooperation of many of trade and civic
bodies and without the hearty aid given by many of our
District and Federal officials.
All agreed that the improvement sought was an essen
tal to the progress of the city and all aided The Times

And Yet We Envy Them
Only a few weeks ago, I
stated quite definitely some Of
the reasons why I do not want
to be a man. Or rather why
I prefer to be a woman.
Women have so many rights
and privileges added to their
old ones, that it seems foolish
for any girl to envy the male
of the species these days.
And yet there are times when
I think wistfully that it must
be wonderful never to bother
about getting a permanent
wave, or to have to sit for an
hour under a hot drying
machine in order to be pretty"
It must be comforting to
know that, no matter how poor
or plain or fat or skinny or
middle-aged you are, you can
always find SOME woman to
dance with you, dine with you
or marry you.
It must be comforting to face
forty or fifty without the
slightest fear that you will be

HUSKIES ENJOYING ' VISIT TO HOSPITAL
 GROUNDS AFTER TRIP

Alert and menacing in appear ance, four husky sled dogs, which have been with the Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard on his recent explora- tion trip to the Aleutian Islands and Alaska Peninsula are now ex- periencing the delights of being ashore, after rather close confine- ment crossing the gulf on the can- nery tender Amelia.
 The big animals are chained seo- arately to trees on the terrace be- hind St. Ann's Hospital and show considerable interest in everyone who ventures near. They are Ma geik, Margie, Katmai and Wolf, and moved to the hospital grounds this noon. Margie is the proud mother of the seven pups with the party of the Glacier Priest. The pups paid call to the hospital yesterday and won the hearts of all who saw them.

New York City police that Tinted there might be more startling de- velopments soon. ea n et When asked if the arrest of Hauptmann could be interpreted as solving the Lindbergh Kidnapping and staying case, Commissioner O'Ryan said he thought it would. Hauptmann was arrested after being watched for several days.
 Continued DeniaIs
 Hauptmann continues to deny that he is the John" who re- ceived the ransom money from Jafsie in St. Raymond's cemetery.
 Answers description
 Hauptmann answers the descrip- ton in a general way. as the man to whom Jafsie paid the s50,0O0 ransom. His handwriting has been found to tally with that on the ransom notes.

 Hauptman has not worked at his trade since about the time of the Kidnapping, it is said.
 Another Story
 Another story Hauptmann told the police was that he got the money, found in his garage, about

three weeks ago from a man named Rice, who has since died. During interrogation, Hauptmann's story changed in several respects. Pre- viously he said he got the money from a bank. but this was found not to be true.
 Not Identified
 Jafsie, now "A years of age. has not officially been reported as iden- tifying Hauptmann as the one he gave the ransom money to in the cemetery. but neither did official say he had not identified hum as the man.
