LEGAL P[ANSLA|D
FOR n. R. A. TESTS
Supreme Court to Be Asked
to Pass on Vital Aspects
of Drive.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Midnight oil will burn in many a
law library this Summer as attorneys
for conflicting ideas of Government
prepare for the new deals supreme
test in the Fall and Winter.
At session starting in October the
Supreme Court will be asked for the
flrst time to pass upun vital aspects
Of the Roosevelt administration re-
covery drive.
Provisions of the national industrial
recovery act, the petroleum code and
certain orders and regulations aimed
to curtail the production of oil will
be among the paramount issues to
which the court will lend its ear.
A. A. A. Cases Included.
Gases under the agricultural ad-
justment act and litigation arising
out of the action of the Government
in suspending payments in gold also
are expected to feature the next term.
One case brought by the Govern
ment is already on the courts docket.
1t involves the ruling of a Federal
district court in Texas quashing the
indictment Of certain producers Of oil
on the ground that the restrictions on
production are invalid.
Another case. brought by reflners
in the East Texas oil field, will come
up. This arises from a ruling by the
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which
sustained Federal regulation of oil pro-
duction and set aside an injunction
by a Federal district court declaring
such regulations invalid
Still another case along the same
line, involving oil producers in the
East Texas field is expected to reach
the high court in time for argument
with the other two
Milk Control Questions.
Several cases under the A. A. A., in
volving the validity of regulations
issued by the Agriculture Department
for the control of prices in milk sheds,
are expected to come up also.
Controversies arising under the new
deal have fiared in head lines and
occupied much time of the lower
courts, but none has yet been passed
on by the highest tribunal.
In preliminary way. by 5-to-4
decisions, it has decided cases arising
under State recovery laws. In these
emergency which, within bounds. war
rants legislation which might not be
tolerated in times of prosperity.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The biggest bureaucracy in the
world-and still growing. This is the
situation in Washington today, as the
Government has rented virtually every
available square foot of space in pri-
vate buildings while waiting for the
completion of its new group Of struc-
lures begun three years ago.
But the interesting thing Is that
when the buildings now under con-
struction are occupied by September /
the Government will still be paying
more than 81 .00O, 900 in annual rentals
for space outside Government build
ings in the National Capital.
This announcement as to the future
rental is ofhcislly made by the De-
partment Of Interior, which declares
frankly that the only way to cut
down this overhead Is to build more
Government edifices.
Employees Increase.
1t is not to be wondered that the
Government needs space. There were
67,557 employees in Washington in the
Federal service when the new deal
began and there were $3.50 a year
later. The new agencies created by
the Congress just adjourned will add
more to the Government service here
and in the field. AS a matter Of fact
the total number Of Federal employees
both inside and outside of Washing
ton increased from 578231 under the
Hoover regime to 61l.752 under the
Roosevelt administration, in Febru-
ary. 1884. 1t has gone up considera-
bly, since then.
Representative Taber of New York
figures there are l ,331 ,138 on the Fed
eral pay roll directly. outside of the
Army and Navy and Marine Corps
but including about 285, 900 in tn.
Civilian Conservation Corps and about
387, 900 employed on public works.
Mr.. Taber points out that. since
there are about 5000, 900 families re-
ceiving relief or support from the
Federal Government and since there
are about three or more persons to a
family, the total number Of persons
directly and indirectly on the pay
roll reaches about 10000 900, or one
sixth of the Nations population.

OFTEN VISITED HERE.
Famous Flyer Preferred Friends
'Hide- -Oufso In Puhlic Acclaim

Famous Flyer Preferred Friends
Hide Outs" to Public Acclaim.
Jimmy Wedell was we'll known in
Washington, where he visited many
times during the past few years. He
proved to be one OF the most truly
modest notables the Capital has known
in many years and during many OF
his local visits he would hide out"
from we'll wishers and curiosity
seekers, usually at the home of one
of the local air transport pilots among
whom he had many friends.
Following his heroic dash from
Texas to Baltimore early last Winter,
through heavy storms, to save the life
of baby Sue Trammell, Wedell embar-
rassed by the attentions showered on
him at the Baltimore Airport, turned
tail and flew over to Washington at
u o'clock in the morning and went
into hiding in the apartment Of one
of his friends.
Prepared to Enter Race.
Wedell's last visit to Washington,
early in the Spring, was made in con-
nection with his preparations to enter
the MacRobertSon International
Trophy race from London to Mel
bourne, Australia, next october. We
dell, known as one of the country's
leading racing plane designers and
builders, as well as one of its foremost
racing pilots. was completing a special
plane for this international $4,000
classic when he was killed.
Wedell came to Washington several
times to receive national trophies and
awards won by his racing achieve
ments. At the annual banquet Of
the National Aeronautic Association,
when the Nations leading pilots OF
1888 were honored for last years rec
ord flights, Wedell received an award
for smashing the world land plane
speed record and setting new all
American speed record.
Interested Borglum.
At that dinner Gutzon Borglum, the
sculptor, asked by dinner companion
to select the most interesting face at
the speakers table, at which were
congregated many of the Nations
aviation leaders, asked that he be
permitted to make his selection from
the entire gathering rather than from
the top table, and then pointed to
Jimmy Wedell. in a wrinkled gray
suit, at an t-of -the-way table in
a corner of the room.
There" said Borglum. "is one OF
the most interesting faces ever have
seen. I don't know who that man is
but his face is that of a man of the
strongest character and determina-
ton"

GAMBLING WITH A

The wise buyer, unless he hap
pens to be a thoroughly qualified
xpert in the field in which he is
making purchases, buys labels.
He buys a name which he knows
tands for quality and integrity
|. reputation gained over many
1ears through the production of an
article or a service Of unvarying
excellence.
That's true of food products, of
clothes, of watches or automobiles
Or guns. We have learned that
it's usually better to pay a little
more, when that is necessary, to
get something we know to be the
best, than to buy something the
salesman represents as being "just
as good" Most Of us have had sad
experiences with products falling
in the later category. We have
found them to be expensive at any
price.
What is true for the individual
buying clothing. is true for the
community buying fire protection.
The town buying an unknown
make of fire engine is. counting dis
aster. 1t is taking a chance on
ruin. 1t is gambling with death.
If an engine fails at a crucial mo-
ment, hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of property and ire
olaceable lives may be destroyed.
Citizens and, taxpayers have a
very definite interest in seeing that

highest standards, and equipped
with engines whose names r the
nrbiters of quality and service.
