INTERSTATE THEORY HIT
Kentucky Jurist Reinforces A.
tack With Adverse Decision
on Coal Mining Code

Washington. Feb. 28.-(FeThe New
Deal marshalled its legal forces
Thursday to ward off q blow which,
if it should gain the added strength
Of supreme court approval - would
topple much Of NRA's vast structure
into the dust.
The blow was the opinion, enunciated
by Federal Judge John p. Nields Of
Delaware Wednesday, that the con-
stitution did not confer upon congress
the power to regulate manufacture.
It was reinforced by the ruling Of
Federal Judge Charles I. Dawson at
Louisville, KY, who declared that coal
mining is an Interstate business;
that intra-state business is beyond
the regulatory power Of congress: and
that therefore the national industrial
recovery act as applied to coal is un-
constitutional.
Much Of the New Deal Is based on
the idea that il q business affects
commerce between the states, con-
gress can regulate 1t. But that view
met an obstacle in Judge Nields' flat
statement that manufacture Is not
subject to such regulation.
Cites High Court Stand
In the course of an opinion In which
he held section IA Of MIRA uncon-
stitutional as applied to the Weirton
Steel Company, he said supreme
court rulings demonstrated that the
constitution did not give to congress
the power to requisite manufacture. =
TO regard Weirton's manufacturing
operations as intruments for the in
terstate movement Of goods, he said.
would put practically all American
manufacturing under the control of
the federal government, = result
which has received the unqualified
condemnation Of the supreme court"
The government plans an immedi-
ate appeal from Judge Dawson's de-
cision. It did not announce its plans
on Judge Nields' ruling but Black
well Smith, counsel for the recovery
administration, left no doubt In OBJ
servers minds that it would combat
the idea expressed by the Delaware
judge.
Cummings Studies Decision
Attorney General Cummings and q
staff Of lawyers were studying the
decision.
Smith commended Judge Nields'
opinion was based on an "out-moded
theory" Of constitutional law.
1T seems to me that there IS no
cause for concern on this count in
view OF the realistic appreciation Of
modern industry and commerce
shown by the supreme court in recent
decisions, particularly the Appalachian
Goals case." Smith said.
Judge Nields' decision was praised
by q spokesman for the National As
ISOLATION Of Manufacturers and de-
iaounced by william Green, president
Of the American Federation Of Labor.
This decision will promote rational
employment relations" said James A.
Emery, general counsel for the Manu-
facturerS' association.
Labor cannot accept the decision"
said Green.

Berlin, Feb. :s.-lntense economic
pressure, 1t became apparent Thurs
day, has forced Reichsfuehrer Hit
Ter to abandon for the present ct least
the public manifestations Of his cher

This tendency was indicated defin-
itely In the remarks Of speakers at

Nazi party members In which the
Reichs economic problems were the
subject Of discussion.
While berating Jews Is vampires

concluded his address by saying:

Behind this and similar develop
ments was seen the strong influence
Of Dr.. Hjalmar Schacht, minister Of
economies, who In fighting Germany

further boycotts and loss In bills Of
exchange.
