CONSTITUTION NEW DEAL WAR
 SEEN IN 1936
Court Decisions on Roose- welt Policies Expected to
 Have Election Bearing

WASHINGTON, July 8.-Presi- dent Roosevelt believes capital to be pointing the New Deal determ- inedly into an epochal political con- stitutional struggle. Whatever un- certainty existed before has been offset by his request to the House Ways and Means committee not to permit doubts as to constitutional ity however reasonable to block, the Guffey little MIRA coal bill Other developments last week also supported the prospect with chal- lenge fits enactment organizing in the courts.
 The Administration finally saw the Wagner labor disputes bill be- come law and progress of the so- cial security and utility control bills toward the statute books. Each has been attacked as unconstitutional with the parties divided on votes. Suits to annul them will take their place alongside those already pend- ing against the AAA and IVA. Thus the broad range of the New Deal philosophy will be reviewed by the Supreme Court, possibly in time to influence the 1886 campaign profoundly. If essential principles share the fate of MIRA and no oth- CT way can be found to effect them within the Constitution, proposals to amend that instrument is sex- pected. If all should be sustained the issues now indicated would have less chance of realization in the months that must pass before the court acts. Current dispute over fundamentals of government is ex- pected to grow with liberal Repub- licans however giving frank support to New Deal proposals.

DROP IN p RICE

 IRE OF SENATOR
President to Be Requested to Take Action for
 Early Stabilization

WASHINGTON, July B. Con- tending that banks are using the Treasury's silver buying machinery for their own profit, United States Senator Elmer Thomas, of Okla homa, said President Roosevelt will be served immediately with re- quest, backed by 40 Senators, for early stabilization of gold and sil- yer.
 Commenting on the recent drop of silver from 81 cents an ounce to 69 cents, Senator Thomas contended the banks, with forehand knowl- edge when the Treasury is to buy or sell, are able to profit either on the upturn or the drop.
 Senator Thomas said he did not accuse Treasury officials or the banks with duplicity but insisted that banks be banks when the op- portunity of profit is offered.

DOUG FAIRBANKS, LADY ASHLEY ON.

Famous Screen Star Silent on Rumors of Re-

VANCOUVER, B. C., July 8.-As Douglas Fairbanks flew south last night for conferences with his busi- ness associates in Hollywood, Lady Sylvia Ashley, member of his party on the South Seas cruise, speeded east by rail to Quebec, to board a steamer for England.
 Fairbanks flew here Saturday from Hollywood for a weekend fishing trip which, however, was prevented by rain.
 Fairbanks said he would go to New York within few days after completing his business in Holly wood. He said his plans beyond that were indefinite.
 Talks of Fishing
 Douglas Fairbanks would rather talk about sword-fishing than Mary Pickford, and he would much pre- fer the discussion of such harmless topics as cannibals in the New He brides than Lady Sylvia Ashley, the young English peeress whose friend ship cost her a husband and Fair banks a wife.
 The still youthful, quick-gestured and patently athletic screen star made this evident when he greeted reporters here last week aboard the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Canada, which brought him in from the Orient on one of his peril odic visits to Hollywood, source of the wealth which makes it possible for him to maintain a ranch home in California, two sea-going yachts, and the economic freedom to tour the world at will
 "Doug's' visits to the California film capital are becoming more in frequent with the years, but this one was an important session of the board of United Artists, the firm of which Fairbanks, his divorced wife, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin and

July 1, 1885. If the State should
use any of the State Highway
funds for purposes other than the
building and maintenance of public
highways, one-third, or over $780,
900 could be withdrawn by the
government, it is contended. The
statement continues: 1.-The Della
ware State Highways Users Con-
ference is unalterably opposed to
an increase in the gasoline tax.
The gas tax, as well as the license
fees, were created for the express
purpose of building highways,
that could never have
been financed by property or any
other tax. Furthermore, in prin-
cipal, the diversion of property or
any other funds is distinctly un-
fair, and it leads to practices that
threaten a perversion of the entire
taxation system. 1t was pointed
out that the average motorist pur-
chases 500 gallons of gas yearly.
If the State gas tax is increased to
four cents, the Delaware motorist
will be paying $40 annually money
that will not be used for roads, but
money that will go into the general
fund for other purposes.

IN EFFECT FRIDAY NIGHT

Heavy trucks have been causing
SO much damage to the highways
of the State that Chief Engineer
w. w. Mack, of the State Highway
Department has announced that the
maximum axle load of any truck
will be reduced from 10000 pounds
to $4,000 pounds effective Friday
night of last week at 6 o'clock and
continuing until further notice. The
freezing and thawing of the past
several weeks has caused the roads
to expand and contract in such a
way that the trucks have been
causing them to crumble or break
in some places. It was during the
period of the thaW following the
heavy snow storm of 1884 that the
roads suffered the greatest dam
age from heavy trucks and the
new regulation of the State High
way Department was passed to
forestall a recurrence of the same
thing this year. Superint endent c.
C. Reynolds, of the State Police,
said that signs explaining the re
strictions would be placed at the
State lines on all arterial highways
and at all ferry slips After 6
o'clock Friday night State Police
at all stations throughout the State
began stopping trucks, weighing
them and if necessary arresting
the drivers for operating with
overloaded axels.
